v Accrington Stanley (a) - Friendly 6/7/24

[chaddyrovers]

Today is Rovers first friendly game. Kick off is at 2pm. 

Looking forward to seeing Rovers back playing and its less than 5 weeks before the season starts 

Looking forward to seeing O'Riordan, Gent, Duru, Leonard and Tyjon play today,

I believe it’s a normal 90 min game now? Are tickets still available? Might have sorted that sooner if know weren’t pissing about with 2 hour long games. Bumper day of sport England vs New Zealand in the rugby, rovers vs accy, England vs Switzerland. Plus British gp qualifying.

It is just 1 game of 90 mins game with England playing at 5pm. 

Great weekend of sport as you said.

Currently watching England ahead vs New Zealand in Dunedin. Drive to longridge to watch Clitheroe v longridge ko 11:30. Drive to Accrington to watch rovers v Stanley ko 2pm. Drive back to the pub for Switzerland ko 5. Quite a mission of sport. I’m just popping out for some “milk”. I could defo pull this off.

England played very well and tbh we should have win. Marcus Smith missing simple kicks cost us massively

Will anyone there be providing updates on here, as I believe there is no stream.

I am out of the UK but as always, will be tuning in to see how it is going, so any updates will be appreciated.

Always nice when pre season properly starts, be good to see the new kit in all its glory 

Sacha Petshi to start

Assume we'll have 2 different teams in each half (if we have enough players for that)

Just about

 

                  Pears

Brittain Carter Hyam Pickering

          Tronstad JRC

Gallagher  Garrett   Dolan

                Tijon

 

Hilton/Eastham/Michalski

Duru O'Riordan Gamble Gent

        Travis  Buckley

Markanday Vale Gilsenan

        Leonard/Telalovic

 

Apparently Hedges not ready, and Sigurdsson & Sxmodics will play a small part (subs)

 

Disclaimer - I am not advocating Gally out wide, just fitting what is available into two starting 11s

Unfortunately Gally out wide will probably be our best option before long.

[KentExile]

U21s also playing at 2pm this afteroon, at Hyde

And with it come the usual rigmarole. 

Just to recap:

It's NOT about the results

Shirt numbers mean nothing

An absent player isn't necessarily being sold

Jack Vale scoring past Accy Stanley doesn't mean he's the solution to our striking problems

But if he gets 2, he is... right?

Been quite a while since we have had tickets availiable on the day for this fixture..interest looks low,but no wonder tbh.

First half 11 is probably our starting line up against Derby next month.

Anyone have a clue who Barrett is?  Edit - Apparently a trialist

Surprised that Saadi is there over Whitehall

So that’s the market we’re in for the Leo replacement then 

[Exiled_Rover]

How can anyone argue we don't have any depth when that Second XI is almost exclusively made up of Academy players?

Across the board - frees and loans.

Tell me the squad is desperate for investment, without telling me the squad is desperate for investment.

Pears beats away Whalley's cross into the path of Conneely, who fires over from distance.

Pears doing Pears things…
