Pre-season 2025

[Mar]

Much better up top with McAtee, Lawrence and Cosier-Duberry. Looking a lot better.

McAtee with some good interplay.

Cosier-Duberry wearing the #2. So much for the no number 2 for the wingers.

Johnston scores a header from a corner! 2-0

[Mar]

Toal effort cleared off the line and the resulting corner headed in by Johnston. 2-0. Lovely header, rustiness shaken off it seems

[TonyDomingos]

2-0. Another set piece.

[Mar]

Some really good tackles and blocks coming in from Toal and Johnston.

We've comfortably been the better side in this second half. Pirates upping the tempo now.

A lot of very encouraging signs here, although I think it's fair to point out that Orlando look like they're very undercooked.

Apparently they're at the same stage of the pre-season as we are. First game of pre-season. So there should be few excuses to put around.

A big claim possibly could be the number of subs we've made. Two sides, whereas I don't think they've freshened up as much.


Positive signs from Daeshon Lawrence and Conway. Both have contributed and neither look out of place. All the new signings are putting in a good shift.

McAtee makes it three, but goal is ruled out for offside. Assist from Schon, but it won't count. Close.

[Mar]

Nasty challenge from Johnston sacks their new player Kwayiba. Yellow. Bit rough for pre-season.

[TonyDomingos]

FT 2-0. Satisfying.

DON'T TELL ME THE RESULT, I've just started watching it!

[BWFC_Insane]

Not seen any. And I don’t really care much for pre season results but 2-0 in the heat sounds like a passable start.

Soz!

I watched on the OP YouTube channel. The messages in the sidebar suggest their supporters are not at all impressed with their new manager and signings.

They were pretty rubbish.

Did Taylor play left back? I know its only pre season and positions are a bit more flexible but does this hint that its Conway/Taylor/Johnston for LB aligning with Schumachers "4 Centre backs" comment.

It looked that way.

I've managed about 30 minutes so far. It wasn't great. But it's early pre-season, so a long way to go.

Taylor played left back in the 1st half, Conway in the 2nd. Both looked good. Johnston played at CB alongside Toal in the 2nd half and looked ropey, but scored.
