Pre Season Matches

[DearneValleyRover]

Beat Scunny 3-2
On a side note, in James Coppinger’s first game for us Ricky Ravenhill replaced him as sub, today Copps played alongside Ricky’s son Liam. I hope we can get to games soon to see Copps before he retires at the end of the season, what an absolute legend he is at Rovers.

We drew with Cambridge Utd 2-2. Worryingly it was the kids/trialists 11 that scored the goals, although it sounds like we dominated the first half without managing a goal.

 

[PuB]

We won 2-0 against Colchester

 

[Indian Dan]

Beat Coventry 2-1. Very impressive for 60 minutes then it was youth and triallists. Could have had 5 or 6 today.

 

[Crewelad87]

5th straight win. This time Walsall 2-0, Ainley and Powell with first half goals.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Think next week we are off for five or six day tour in Scotland, believed to be Scotland. Have no idea if they are playing anyone, obviously not Scottish first teams.

Edited: that should be Glasgow.

Can't believe people commentating on friendly matches. They are purely to get the players fitness levels up and to try out formations for the coming season. People stating we 2 nil or we were brilliant --- Who cares.

I imagine everyone’s pretty pleased to have some kind of normality back in football.

You could just avoid the whole thread if you aren’t interested. It is called the Pre-Season thread after all, so it’s hardly surprising people might be posting about their teams in pre-season games!!

Exactly. I remember fondly the L2 versions of this thread a few years ago when tables and all sorts were calculated. You guys and Daggers fans in particular gave us some close season fun with all the faux outrage that number of games played, level of competition faced, etc, etc, should be taken into account. More innocent times I guess.

True -- But its the way some are posting.

faux outrage?

we we’re ROBBED

I think you have to be a bit lenient with people bearing in mind the way the last season ended and all the Covid stuff. As PuB says, some fans are just delighted to have games back and so this pre-season is just a bit different to previous ones.

 

[Luke Imp]

Our PSF line-up seems to be Salford(?!), Leicester, Scunthorpe, Mansfield and Forest.

Don't know why we bother with Forest because they've cancelled at last minute in the previous 3 seasons.

 

[PuB]

Beat Watford 3-1 this afternoon

 

[Guernica]

Lost to Salford 1-0 in our first PSF. Some decent passages of play in amongst it, can tell we haven't played in 5 months!

 

[Indian Dan]

Shame on you. Shame!

 

[Crewelad87]

Two friendlies for us tonight. Half the squad are playing Nantwich Town whilst the other half are at Witton Albion.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Beat Bradford 4-3

Going down!

 

[PuB]

Beat Bradford 4-3

Going up!

 

[Indian Dan]

Beat Man Utd U23s 2-0, apparently. No details whatsoever.
Edit. Payne and Twine scorers

Shitty way to treat fans - especially as I can’t think of a single reason for them to request a media blackout.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Going up!

Ha I take pre season with a pinch of salt

Dont!

Its better to take it too seriously

I’m such a bad fan

 

[DippyDon]

We drew to Stevenage 1-1 yesterday

Good of Salford to stream it.

Didn't tell us anything we didn't know - that we can't go into a season with one striker.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Beat Watford 3-1
Played seniors first half and kids second.
Good run out
All about getting fitness levels up and getting to know each other at this stage, very little else.

 

[Indian Dan]

We’ve got a friendly this Saturday at Ashton Utd and fans are allowed!

Only 300, but still . . .
