2020/21 Pre-Season Friendlies Thread

[kieran_vale]

Got an additional friendly arranged next Wednesday against Forest.

Should be a good opportunity to give Manny Oyeleke some minutes at least as he has sat the first two friendlies out.

 

[Andy Proctor]

Next wednesday against forest and a week on saturday against rochdale.

Beat Spurs U23s 6-2 with goals from Lee Angol x2, Jordan Maguire-Drew, James Dayton, Danny Johnson and Trialist Shaq Coulthirst - although the follow up header he scored may have already gone over the line after Conor Wilkinsons free kick hit the bar and likely bounced over the line.

We look similar to last season - Dangerous going forward and creating chances, but switch off as a team when it comes to defending at times and go into coast mode. Game could easily have ended 7-4 in the end.

Got to watch Maurico Pochettino's 19 year old son - who has the same name as his dad, looks a very lively and tricky right winger, certainly looks a decent prospect and gave us the runaround a few times in the second half when he came on.

We are at Mansfield on Saturday and the home club is streaming the game for a fiver.
It kicks off at 1 o'clock but the venue is secret.

 

[Si Robin]

We kick off against Bristol City in 10 mins or so. Matty Blair in the starting lineup again.

 

[Indian Dan]

Watch out for those stiff necks! I can’t think of a more un-Chuckles type player than him.

 

[Moomin]

Taunton Town tonight for us.

Then Tiverton Town away on Tuesday where a capacity of 300 will be allowed! As I am local I will do my best to get a ticket!

 

[Si Robin]

3-0 down at half-time - Nakhi Wells getting a hat-trick.

We have a friendly tomorrow but it’s top secret.

[F!RTHY]

3-0 down at half-time - Nakhi Wells getting a hat-trick.

Some player, that lad!

 

[Si Robin]

He set up their 4th in a 4-0 drubbing as well.

Which is more useless, tonking a pub team or being on the receiving end of one from some millionaires? A question for every pre-season.

 

[Chris FGR]

Watch out for those stiff necks! I can’t think of a more un-Chuckles type player than him.

Eh?

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Eh?

Gloucestershire's all a bit of a blur to our Dan

 

[hellogregory]

Who you playing, an MI5 XI?

Probably Rochdale or some other North West EFL club. But our club just can’t be arsed to mention it.

 

[Indian Dan]

Eh?

Thought you were signing Matt

 

[Chris FGR]

Thought you were signing Matt

Yeah we signed him a few weeks back.

Bit of a random time and place to comment on that though, not sure he's been mentioned in this thread?

More than likely to be played at Field Mill

 

[The Terminator]

We're away to Northampton today at 1pm, the game is being shown for free on both clubs Youtube channels if anyone is bored and fancies watching.

 

[Indian Dan]

No thanks

 

[BlackHaddock]

Our one and only (announced) friendly is today. Cleethorpes Town hosting us. Can't get too excited to be honest. Full squad of 22 going apparently, although Hanson is said to be injured already!

 

[masi51]

Today is your chance to lay into me football wise

 

[Indian Dan]

Bolton 2Accrington 0 -Half time Delfonseau and Doyle

 

[hellogregory]

According to my sources, our mystery top secret opponent this afternoon is Wigan Athletic. It was Wigan’s decision to keep it top secret apparently.

 

[LancashireTrotters]

Bolton 2Accrington 0 -Half time Delfonseau and Doyle

Won 3-0. Positive pre-season continues.
