Pre-Season Friendlies...........

[Agombar stool]

Slew, Goddard and Conor Thomas put us 3-0 up at half time at Swindon Supermarine.

 

[valefan16]

Tyrone Barnett brace put us 2-0 against Kidsgrove but went off injured early on.

 

[#Beebot]

5-0 up at Maidstone, goals from Shomotun, Amaluzor, Nicholls, Ryan Watson and Akpa Akpro.

Only trialist we can identify is Tom Hitchcock, who will do absolutely nothing to resolve our striker worries with Akinde looking like our only decent forward at the moment.

4-0 now Pyke getting two. Seems promising as does Billy Waterhouse so far.

Edit: make that 5-0 with the prodigal son getting his first in Vale colours since his return.

 

[Big Bird]

Just smashed the pasty out Swindon Supermarine 1-7.

Slew
Thomas

Is that Huddersfield's Pyke? Didn't impress at all for us last season. Has a little bit of power and pace about him but showed very little on the ball.

Won 2-0 away at Maldon & Tiptree in our first friendly today.

Beat Carlisle City 4-0. Some trialists got a run out in the second half, the left back or left winger looked decent.

It is yeah, Everton linked with him so not sure if the loan will go through. Not positive to hear though!

Vale fans - I was looking at the live scores on bet365 and I saw you lot were also playing Congleton. Was it your youth team?

 

[Davidimp]

Lincoln City beat Lincoln United 4-0

 

[Luke Imp]

4-0 win for us at Lincoln United - Matt Green (2), James Rowe (trialist) and Nathan Arnold.

The usual non-even as a first pre-season friendlies but a run out for most. Decent day, sun was out, lots of BBQ's.

 

[Luke Imp]

And Ginnelly had a shot and managed to hit the bar and both posts. Doing that deserves a goal.

 

[Davidimp]

Lincoln United reckon they had up to 1800 there, 1000 up on last season. Not bad considering they bumped the prices up 50% on last season.

Yeah they were 2-0 down but won 4-3 I think.

 

[Casey]

Won 1-6 at East Grinstead. Local Ryman South side.

Sun was out. Bottles of Harvey bitter to drink. Lovely afternoon. Goals; Boldewijn, Smith, Cox, Camara, og and Harrold.

Good run out but too far apart in standards for it to mean anything.

Good to see one of our ex players Allan Tait (semi pro days) playing for the Wasps. Scored one of the best goals seen at the Broadfield stadium. A glorious chip (against Forest Green if I recall correctly).

We beat Rolls Royce XI 6 - 0

Pub teams across the land: fear us

Control yourself Vanni....
A classic case of premature ejabolation....

 

[Captain]

Everyone seems to be hammering their non-league counterparts... we drew 1-1 at Hitchin. Blair Turgott with our goal late on.

 

[Si Robin]

We don't have our first friendly until Tuesday, way at Oxford City. Revenge will be the order of the day after they knocked us out of the FA Trophy in the 15/16 season.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

Unless he got a late injury, as apparently we had a fully fit squad yesterday, that doesn't auger well for Mauro. Can't get a game when we use 33 players.

Almost certainly an injury. Rossi always used him earlier in the season.

So recently we've had:

Grimsby Borough v Grimsby Town,
Swindon Supermarine v Swindon Town,
Lincoln Utd v Lincoln City,
Carlisle City v Carlisle Utd.

Any other 'namesake' friendlies coming up?

 

[Big Bird]

Mansfield v Womansfield

Would like to see Mauro played as a wing back, as he has too little impact in midfield. Thought he could be as good as Yiadom there with his skill and pace.

Man Utd v Man City in the International Champions Cup is on the 20th.

The closest we get is Wood V Forest next Friday in El Nailsico

 

[GTFCfish]

Man Utd v Man City in the International Champions Cup is on the 20th.

That sounds on a par with the FA Trophy for prestige attached to it.

 

[Si Robin]

We're sending a youth team to play Cheltenham Saracens at some point, we also play Bishop's Cleeve (village just outside Cheltenham) on Friday.

 

[ccfctommy]

Beat Sutton United 1-0 yesterday. U23 team beat Tamworth also.
