Pre-Season Friendlies
It seems we're playing a pre-season friendly against Atherton Collieries this afternoon.
The starting line-up is apparently as follows:
Crillen (rumoured to be signing on a season-long loan from Fleetwood Town)
Hickman, Santos, Delaney, Taft, Gordon
Comley, Thomasson, Crawford
(trialist), Doyle

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies
Politic has started the second half at right wing-back.

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies
Lion of Vienna Suite's estimation of the teams:
Other notes, from the second half:
"Politic's scored. Playing cm now"
"Baptiste looking solid. Showcasing a good range of passing"
"A trialist striker just scored an absolute worldie. Baptiste played him in behind, took it round his man & cut back in. Top bins with his left foot."
Interesting to see Hickman (the ex-Cov lad) and Politic trialed at right wingback. Might just be filling spaces at the moment though. Brocky in midfield!

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies
Some interesting thoughts with the names on show today. What would be everyone's thoughts if we did re-sign Baptiste and Bunney? And a possible re-role for Politic?
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!
And the key to a result is a good

He's not getting about as much as he used to. He was practically everywhere a few years ago...

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies
Just like in the early 80s, TonyD will have to put those flares away: the game at FCUM has been called off.

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies
Apparently the trialist who scored the screamer was a player who sports a ‘top knot’ in his barnet... Any lower league oracles know who that might be?

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies
Why has that friendly been called off? To stop people trying to go?

They haven’t said, but COVID-19 restrictions aren’t suspected. (Yes it’s behind closed doors but people still turn up.)officer_dibble wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 7:01 amWhy has that friendly been called off? To stop people trying to go?
Web guessers gonna guess and many have suggested Ben Stephens, late of (Phoenix’s) Macclesfield, although he’s nominally a midfielder...General Mannerheim wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 12:46 amApparently the trialist who scored the screamer was a player who sports a ‘top knot’ in his barnet...

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies
We've beaten Bamber Bridge 7-0 this afternoon
Delfouneso, Doyle, Faal, Amoateng (twice), Politic (penalty), and Gordon were the scorers.

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies
This Amoateng is banging them in. Must be giving himself a good shot at getting a contract.

Wanderers second half: Alexander; Brockbank, Baptiste, Taft; Jones, Sarcevic, Politic, Darcy (Graham 79), Gordon; Trialist, Faal (King-Harmes 79).
When I read the report a few minutes ago, it had Bunney named as playing in the first half, but it's now been amended to "trialist".

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies
Nice to hear that Doyle 'n' Delfonce each set the other's goal up.
Also good balance in those XIs. (this nicked from LoV): First-half is the stronger, with first-choice front three, while I'd also expect Crellin, Santos and Comley to be initial first-choices. However, second-half XI isn't just "and the rest" - sprinkled with others I'd expect to score, like Sarce, Gethin Jones and maybe even Flash Gordon (who scored).
The fact it was 2-0 at half-time suggests he'll get them fit but also keep them motivated to plough on.

Re: Pre-Season Friendlies
I note Darcy played central midfield.
It seems Thomasson is on loan at Bamber Bridge as he apparently played against us.
