We're playing the big team in Swindon tonight - Supermarine.

We are going to be saved! Our 3-1 loss at Burnley was a 70 minute match!

Thats a strange game length for a friendly. Ours was 60 mins but we had two back-to-back

Not sure why assume at Burnley’s request as they are only just back. We had a very small squad out.

Confirmed - will strike it from the record.

May I ask that evidence be provided in future to save me having to look this up? I mean, I'll probably double check anyway, but play along.

I will report our score back from our game at alfreton tonight - and submit a polygraph test to ensure the result is real.

 

[denzel ecfc]

5-0 up at half time.

 

[Indian Dan]

I was a bit optimistic we’d play our youth team. Think it was our U-16s. Never heard of any of them and they were all puny, scrawny little fuckers. Losing 1-0 at HT. I left.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Won 4-1 at alfreton.
Plenty of trialists and debuts. Good run out.

 

[Moomin]

Now 8-0 away against the giants of Mousehole AFC. Get the goal difference up.

 

[Grumpy Grecian]

Only 8-0 at the end.
Caldwell out.

 

[HutchECFC]

We're going up as champions.

Up the Mousehole!

Where have we heard that before…( and where did he go )

He's on the piss in Spain currently

 

[Si Robin]

League 1 teams taking the piss tonight - we beat Swindon* 6-0



*Supermarine

 

[Marked Ox]

Won 4-1 at alfreton.
Plenty of trialists and debuts. Good run out.

How did Steve Seddon (the left back trialist) do for you? We're looking to offload him to free up a spot.

 

[K-Win]

Bognor Regis 1 Pompey 1

Didn’t look match fit in honesty - but did ok. Do you rate him ?

 

[nelsonpfc]

Bognor Regis 1 Pompey 1

considering we had no senior forward in the squad, not surprising.

 

[Sydney Posse]

We're going up as champions.

After that 8-0 drubbing of the mighty Mousehole surely nothing can stop us this season

Ive already handed over my cash to the bookies after that battering

 

[Luke Imp]

Only right that we bring our draw specialist tag into pre-season friendlies as well!

Not particularly. I'd describe him as an ok (ish) player but very one footed. Better attacking than defending maybe better as a wing back than full back. Tbf in the 1st half of the season he joined he was pretty good but that dropped away pretty quickly. It is telling that we were happy to use makeshift left backs ahead of him.

He played against us for Cambridge and promptly got injured and taken off in his first game. I always thought he looked good for Oxford against us though, think he scored in the pre season friendly last year too.

 

[The Terminator]

Our youth team and a few trialists beat Brentwood 3-1 last night, the first team play Charlton on Friday in Spain.

My wife who keeps me grounded has reminded me just how crap we’ve been pretty much forever, which has tempered my excitement somewhat
