We’re playing them this Friday

They drew with us last pre-season, we then hammered you in the Carabao Cup a couple of weeks later. So they actually gave us a tougher game, which technically made them the best side in Swindon at that point.

 

[Indian Dan]

I went to the cup game. We should have buried you in the first half. It summed up the season to come for us - create chances, don’t convert them.

I’d be amazed if you finished above us this coming season, though.

 

[Bottega Don]

We beat Dundee 2-1 in our first pre season friendly. Olomola and Lund with the goals.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Any Walsall fans coming to Alfreton tomorrow?

 

[Big Bird]

Supermarine 0-3 Town

Forgot it was tonight until 10 minutes before kick off.

Squad fly out to La Manga on Monday.

 

[Indian Dan]

We’re playing Everton there. Didn’t know that.

 

[Big Bird]

U23s innit? Gonna have to try and get out to one of these one year.

 

[GTFCfish]

It would appear that James Hanson is rather good at headers.

 

[valefan16]

2-1 win against Kidsgrove to kick things off, Cullen and Bennett, Montano going off injured already!

 

[Fishpimps <{{{><]

Cleethorpes Town 0-8 Grimsby Town
An improvement on the 4-2 defeat last year!

 

[Chris FGR]

It would appear that James Hanson is rather good at headers.

Anyone that's used him on FIFA would have been able to tell you that.

Lost 2-1 at Nantwich Daniel Powell scoring for us. Nothing like abit of pre season optimism. Played a different team on each half, both teams a mix of 1st teamers, youngsters and trialists.

Both teams shit by the sound of it!

Yep book us a spot in the vanarama with Carlisle next season.

 

[Son of Cod]

Fantastic. Scintillating. Dominant.

A scoreline to send a shudder down the spine of the League 2 community.

Cleethorpes Town 0 Grimsby Town 8

 

[Indian Dan]

I doubt that!

Only yanking yer chain!

 

[Son of Cod]

Yes. 8 (eight).

 

[Indian Dan]

That’s your quota used up for 10 league games.

You’re fucked!

 

[les.gtfc]

Yes. 8 (eight).

Back to the days of the BBC Vidiprinter.

Wait which one do you support?

 

[The Terminator]

Beat Harlow Town 5-0 with goals from Matt Harrold, Conor Wilkinson, Lee Angol, James Brophy and James Alabi.

No trialists, two different starting elevens which included a few youngsters.

 

[AmberRich]

We beat Fulham 3-1 in a "behind doors" game. Two trialists, and a few youngsters played. Ibehre scored twice and Knibbs once. A fair chunk of the Fulham team today were first teamers so a good result.

 

[SaddlerJonny]

Any Walsall fans coming to Alfreton tomorrow?

I was there. First half we looked good bar one mistake for the goal. Second half we stuck the kids out and was shocking, Alfreton more than deserve the 2-1 win. Shows how poor our squad depth is.

Love Alfreton, lovely ground every time I've been there for a friendly over the past few years.

 

[LeonTheGreen]

An Argyle XI played Cornish side St Blazey today. No first teamers , all kids. Finished 1-1

 

[Strawberry_Jam]

Beat Northampton Silbey Rangers 7-0, Vadaine Oliver scored a hat-trick (including an overhead kick!) but it really wasn't that hard. Couple of young hungry trialist - including 37 year old Nathan Tyson?!?

We won 7-0 and I probably saw at most 2 of the goals. Great having a friendly 200m from your house, didn’t get in the ground til half 3, spent most of the game at the bar. Bloody love Sileby away
