2020/21 Pre-Season Friendlies Thread

[chipmunx]

At Loughborough too so literally down the road which is annoying with us not being able to go!

loughborough University fc play in the united counries league - so below NLN/NLS level - do games at their ground not allow fans in now?

 

[Trapdoor]

We managed to win 1-2 against Tiverton Town.
May as well give us the title now....

Not sure but seems like its how Forest want it anyway as believe they've done the same with their other friendlies. Guess after the whole Bielsa spying thing a while back some Championship clubs are extra careful / paranoid.

Certainly not a Vale thing as we quite happily streamed the Blackpool friendly and are doing the same for Rochdale on Saturday.

29’ - 1-1

We took the lead after a minute and should have been 2-0 3 mins later. Huddersfield equalised 15 minutes in. Evenly poised at the minute.

CB: Reece Staunton

LWB: Connor Wood
RWB: Dylan Mottley-Henry

against a strong ‘Udders side.

 

[LS Bantam]

Really clear we don’t have a right back.

Beat Forest 2-1 at Loughborough today, was meant to be a full strength Forest XI but will have to see when the report is out. Theo Robinson got both!

 

[Casey]

Really clear we don’t have a right back.

We've got three but in our friendly the other day we played a centre half there for sixty minutes!

Make an offer. You know it makes sense.

Lost 2-1 to ‘Uddersfield. Mistake by our youngster Staunton in the second half lead to their winner - which was deflected.

Cooke and Watt look very composed in the centre of midfield. We really need another winger and a striker, but for me, the most important signing right now has to be a right-back.

I thought one of the goals was an own goal there meant be putting highlights up on YouTube later.

Maybe thought it was their goal but maybe wrong.

strong side they had out to be fair to us there

 

[The Terminator]

Lost 3-1 to West Ham U23s, Lee Angol scored for us.

3-0 down at half time to a West Ham side alot older and more experienced than the Spurs U23 we faced a week a ago.

Both sides made 11 changes at half time, we won the second half 1-0 as the old saying goes and created more chances it seems.

Still see us as being a threat up front, but lacking that ruthlessness at the back. Sam Ling scored an own goal and makeshift centre half Joe Widdowson made a huge error for the first goal we let in.

Strong team tonight last pre season against Crewe
Crewe was the best team last year with Swindon....I expect Evatt to have them up for this

Why? It’s a friendly used for training and fitness purposes.

no its not the last one needs to be played as a lge game total commitment

 

[denzel ecfc]

1-1 against Truro. Very much a training game on our training pitch. Not sure what we are learning from this.

0-0 Half time

 

[hellogregory]

Our pre season finished yesterday.

Played 5, won 1, drawn 1, lost 3.

Fleetwood 4-2 Carlisle
Gateshead 1-1 Carlisle
Wigan 1-2 Carlisle
Sunderland 3-1 Carlisle
Liverpool U23 4-1 Carlisle

I hope we’re saving our best form for the serious stuff. But in saying that, we play fleetwood at home on Tuesday in the shitpot B team trophy so I’m treating that as another non competitive/result doesn’t matter work out.

2-0 Crewe

 

[masi51]

2-0 Crewe

make that 3-0

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Nantwich Town 4 - 2 Crewe Alexandra
Crewe Alexandra 3 - 0 Bolton

Time to start worrying, lads.

 

[hellogregory]

That Bolton League 2 title presentation is looking a looooong way away.

 

[David Brent]

All part of the master plan by Evatt I’m sure. We’ve got Crewe in our Tinpot Trophy group so most likely he doesn’t want to give away our top secret, guaranteed match winning tactic.

 

[Devon_Lad]

A 3-2 win tonight against Truro. Rubbish performance. That's Tiverton, Taunton and Truro we've failed to impress now. I hope we don't play anything like this when the season starts.

Why would you set yourself up like this?

 

[Gerald Hattrick]

Seriously some of the shit on social media, EFL league 2 player of the year starts, strongest line up, what sort of pasting is coming this way, ready to win the league....It’s a pre season game. Im sure it will do Bolton more good than the Alex. No axe to grind, good luck to our friends up the A500. Money on you guys for promotion.

 

[masi51]

Why would you set yourself up like this?

its a game of opinions,...nothing more
Its not the end of the world

 

[Greenacres]

We are playing Plymouth Argyle today, kicking off at 1pm, and they are live streaming the game...apparently minus commentary, I just hope they have someone with their finger on the mute button in case the language gets a bit inappropriate.

Heaven forbid you are subject to someone saying a word you don't like

 

[The Jovial Forester]

I know, it'd be a right c***!

 

[F!RTHY]

I think we have Wigan today? We’ll try not to lose 5-1.
