2016/2017 Pre-Season Friendlies

[Blue Lion]

Buxton v Darlington this afternoon too. Might go along if the weather clears up a bit.

 

[slaphead]

We lost 3-2 in the end. Wasn't there so can't comment but the second half team was made up completely of trialists. Unsure on Rendell as he did an interview saying he was fit and looking forward to playing again.

Good entertaining first half against a very strong QPR side. Game died 2 minutes into the second half when young Ben Harrison suffered a horrific leg break, after that no one wanted to put a foot in and I don't blame them. It was so bad it took nearly half an hour to get him off the pitch, even with 5 paramedics and two orthopedic doctors on hand. Wish the lad well, but it's going to be a long time out for him.

 

[Woodworm]

Eastleigh and Wrexham in action tomorrow!

 

[iesty wfc]

against my hometown club the mighty Mold Alexandra

will be nothing more than a training match unfortunately, with no one getting more than 45 minutes

 

[Railway Blue]

Chester are playing local team Christleton in a T20 match today. I hope Worsnop doesn't get the gloves.

 

[Luke Imp]

[Super_horns]

We're going to be hosting PREMIER LEAGUE WATFORD.

Might be a bit of a culture shock for some of our new players and manager..

You off to Grantham on Friday?

 

[Luke Imp]

Not sure. It's been mentioned but depends on what time I get away from work. Are you?

Reading, Lincoln United and Crewe are probably the three I'll do.

 

[GodsGift]

Yeah heading down from Grimsby straight from work. I'm hoping to get done by 5!

 

[Andy Harrier]

Would love to see Styche having a go at Michael Oliver when he doesn't get a free kick for going down too easily.

 

[Woodworm]

Gateshead 2-2 already. Eastleigh 1-0. Wrexham 5-0

 

[Woodworm]

Wrexham 8-0 winners

 

[iesty wfc]

A. Trialist scored twice for us

 

[Pablosammy]

A. Trialist scored twice for us

He gets around a bit, sure we had him last pre-season...

 

[iesty wfc]

Apparently he is a portugese chap called carlos

 

[Woodworm]

Gateshead won 6-2

 

[Woodworm]

Eastleigh won 2-0

 

[Pablosammy]

Eastleigh won 2-0

How do you know all of these things? You're like a non-league friendly videprinter.

 

[Woodworm]

I'm Jeff stelling

 

[Steve_Wafc]

No, I'M Jeff Stelling!

 

[EnglishRed]

A. Trialist scored twice for us

Looked pretty good I thought. Good feet, quick, looks like he weighs 8 stone when wet. I was most impressed by some of the youngsters, Leo Smith and Jordan Davies. Looked good prospects. Curtis Tilt looked decent and Powell looked better than I expected. Lots of pace in the team.

Hard to judge anything from a game like that, should have been more than 8 really. Good run around in the sun I guess.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Time for our annual thrashing by Huddersfield Town tomorrow evening. Their first game, our second.

 

[Sparrow]

This is the best pre-season line-up of games we've had for a long time:

Sun 10th 5.00pm Friendly Home Watford
Sat 16th 3.00pm Friendly Away Gosport Borough
Tue 19th 7.45pm Friendly Home Leyton Orient
Sat 23rd 3.00pm Friendly Home Swindon Town
Tue 26th 7.45pm Friendly Home Luton Town
Fri 29th 7.45pm Friendly Home AFC Wimbledon

Hoping we can win the league in pre-season like Grimsby did.

 

[EnglishRed]

No Manny Smith or Fyfield?

 

[Pablosammy]

The thrashing by a strong Liverpool side commences tomorrow evening at Prenton Park. Also sad is the fact it'll be our biggest home gate of the season by far, 10,000 tickets sold and rising quickly. A lot of Tranmere fans are avoiding it because the ground will just be full of Kopites.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

We managed to hang on to a 0-1 defeat against Huddersfield. They did thump the woodwork three times too though but all from distance shots. A good training session for both teams.

 

[Woodworm]

Eastleigh tonight away at Banbury

 

[Woodworm]

Banbury start - Harding Blackstock Hopkins Martin Brown Gunn Coleman Benjamin Barcelos Davies Sumdire.
