2015/16 Pre Season Friendles Thread

[DarkSithLord]

Pre Season starts tonight.
We are away at Buxton and I think Wrexham are in action tonight.

 

[Luke Imp]

What was initially our first friendly game, away at Stamford on the 11th, was cancelled yesterday because of issues with their pitch so we're now away at Grantham on the 10th.

Friday 10th July - Grantham Town (a), 7.45 KO
Friday 17th July - Lincoln United (a), 7.45pm KO
Tuesday 21st July - Leicester City (h), 7.45 KO
Saturday 25th July - Boston United (a), 3pm KO (Lincolnshire Cup)
Wednesday 29th July - Norwich City XI (h), 7.45pm KO

Potentially another two games in the Lincs Cup depending on progress.

Havent got a scooby to be honest.

We have no goalkeeper on our books but I am told we have 3 in on trial.
Our 4 new signings (Ryan Wilson, Sam Berry, Todd Jordan and Sam Jones will be getting a run out for sure.
Dan Bradley, John Johnstone, Joe Ironside and Andi Thanoj and Nial Heaton should also feature.
No idea about the rest.

Unfortunately I cant make tonight.

Thanks. Does anyone recognize any names?

That Dan Bradley is a decent player.

 

[EnglishRed]

7-1 win, as expected really. A nice run out in the sun and a good work out.

 

[DarkSithLord]

That Dan Bradley is a decent player.

Other than the obvious ones! Just finished Googling the names on the internet. There are 21-23 years old and in the local area which would tie in with the new plan to buy youngsters and improve them. My only concern is their lack of experience Dan Bradley apart.

 

[Luke Imp]

Galinski was at Boston I think.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Won 4-1. Happy with that. Good start. The real tests begin a week tomorrow with Sheffield Wednesday though

 

[Woodworm]

Nuneaton with a run out today I see against Derby. Anyone else in action?

Nope, not yet, we don't start until a week on Wednesday with a home fixture against Cardiff City. Our players only returned to training this week, as far as I know, and judging by the videos posted on our club website some of the players are more ready for the start of hostilities than others!

Welcome to the forum Jason

Barrow went down 1-0 to a local xi with Daniel Parslow, Adam Dawson, Matt Young and Luke Dawson all playing on trial.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Galinski was at Boston I think.

Yep, ended the season at Stalybridge though I think, versatile defender who is decent at this level. Lewis King is another who has been at both Boston and Stalybridge, decent enough shot stopper but too small.

Sounds pretty good. Thanks for the useful info mate

 

[immariner]

Thanks. Does anyone recognize any names?

6 of those players have played for Grimsby. 'Grimsby rejects, Grimsby rejects oh oh oh oh'!

actually it was 2-1 to the local XI. both the local goals coming from barrow born players just released by league clubs and both already training with Barrow...

 

[Gladders]

Played our first friendly tonight against Cleethorpes, mix of first team and youths with a different 11 in each half.

Won 4-0 Pitman, Bogle, and Among (2) with the goals.

 

[Woodworm]

Grimsby won 4-0 v Cleethorpes - Pitman and Bogle among the scorers. St Albans currently 3-0 down to Watford. Frickley lost 2-0 to Doncaster.

Only just seen this...assuming it's a spelling mistake on the team sheet; Cliff Moyo played a few friendlies for us a few years ago. I rated him but he didn't get offered a deal.

A ****!!

 

[GodsGift]

It's "A Trialist" for most clubs but obviously the Cods do it differently

 

[JaggerCFC]

Cliff Mayo - sure he was a right back. Played a few games in pre season prior to are conf prem first season.

An agree with shrewd blue, looked very good in the games he played for us, don't know why he wasn't signed up. Probably wanted too much maybe

If he wants a big pay packet I would be extremely surised if he got it from us! He must have taken a wage cut. I see in recent seasons he has been touring the Northern premier so in actual fact it may be a step up for him.
