Anyone know if Stamford tickets are available yet?
-
I asked ticket office and they thought it would be pay on the gate but waiting for more details
-
There’s a nice Wetherspoons in Stamford, it was a former printworks.
-
I was thinking about going because I'm off work that week. I know it's the first run out of this pre season but I didn't think there'd much interest in attending from our support, with it being a Tues night 19.00pm kick off and 1.5hrs down the A1.
-
Planning on going
-
Any1 doing updates ect
-
Tonight’s line up:
-
2 x 60 min half’s
Different team second half
-
Midfield will be short as no Close Westbrooke Clifton
So we have Bailey Another and probably Hurst playing behind Ironside with Yeboah and Gibson
-
Good to see Miller back in action.
Just out of interest, note Bradford lost their first pre season match at Garforth 2-1 after going 2-0 down. Chorus of booing at HT and FT. Trialling centre half on show so maybe their recruitment is well behind ours.
-
Sharp scores after 15 mins
-
No Trialists. Just doesn’t feel right
-
Sharp scores after 15 mins
What took him so long?
COYR
-
Any update?
-
Still winning by Billy’s goal. Had a 5 min break after 45 mins and now playing another 15 mins before switching teams for another 60 mins.
-
Just updated on X - 1-0 Rovers. Short break then the same 11 plays 15 more mins, then it’s all change for Rovers.
-
That team sheet looks like a 3-5-2.
Lawlor
Flint. Woods. Olowu
Sterry. Broadbent. Sbarra. Molyneux. Senior
Sharp. Miller
Or, it could be a 4-3-3, with Mols in the front 3.

Thanks - how we looking...?

Stamford have created better chances than us but poor finishing & hit the post. Their number 7 looked lively, giving Senior problems. Sharp looked the fittest player we had.
-
2nd half team…… : Sharman-Lowe, Nixon, Anderson, McGrath, Maxwell, Gibson, Bailey, Straughan-Brown, Hurst, Ironside, Yeboah
-

It was their second game Baz. They lost 2-0 at Chorley the previous Saturday.

I'm going to have a stab on Yeboah to score.....
-
Is the Thorne game tomoz just gonna be the u18s? Surely no first teamers will play on consecutive days?
-
Well Gibsons hit the post twice within minutes, as per X.

Useful updates if you keep refreshing. You don't need an X account.

Even better!!

44s
Straughan-Brown did well to nip in and win a header, it was then fed from Ironside to Hurst. He dashes towards goal and despite the GK getting a hand on it, it has too much power. 2-0
-
Sounds like yeboah is having a good game making some good runs
Square profile picture

16m
⏱️ 69 | Surging run from Ephraim Yeboah. He exchanges passes with Jordan Gibson but the keeper grasps his centre out of the air
Stamford 0-1 Rovers
77 | Great play around the box from Rovers and Ephraim Yeboah dances his way into a shooting opportunity but sees his effort blocked out for a corner
-
88 | GGGGOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!
ROVERS!!
JORDAN GIBSON!
Stamford 0-3 Rovers
-
Joe Ironside is forced out wide but picks out Jordan Gibson in the middle. He spins on the ball and slams a low shot into the bottom corner
-
Isn't it refreshing going for more goals. Glad proper footy has resumed.

Thank god club football is back

Where did George Miller line up?
-

anyone got any inside knowledge, not sure I fancy it if it's just the juniors?
-
Think jones will be in net as he hasn’t played today plus maybe the 3 players who missed today add in the subs that may not play much, add in the u18 players

Put it this way, Adam. In previous friendlies at Thorne, we've always sent teams of academy and fringe players. Also, as you say, no senior players will play on consecutive days.

Adam, my mate who is part of the Thorne set up told me yesterday that Rovers team is expected to be mostly U18 lads.
-
4-0 Gibson again
-
Hurst and Gibson seem to be featuring well...

And they laughed at us for signing Jordan Gibson.
-
Can't remember players getting 60 mins in their very first friendly of the season. Normally 45 mins? That must highlight the Portugal trip being quite intensive, which all bodes well for being the fittest possible when we kick off in anger. Providing we don't suffer more injuries of course.
-
Going on Ricky Charlesworth’s summary - young Flint showed up well in the first session and he appears to have filled out a bit through the summer.
Hidden gem? or unknown quantity?
-
They had an 11v11 on the last day in Portugal.
Answering DBR’s 45 minute periods!
-
Any reports on the new lads?
-
I think tonight shows the strength in depth we have. We had 2 x 11s there that should be able to more than compete in this league. What a squad we have assembled.
Roll on the season!
-
3 midfielders missing as well.
Clifton, Westbrook and Close.
-
I hope we haven’t peaked too soon. :chair:

Flint looked way older than he is. He looked good. Steady run out for everyone. No dramas just nice and steady.
Good to see Billy score. Gibson played well. Maxwell took a bit of a clattering. He might be sore tomorrow
-
Flint and Brown look really good prospects
-
Flint was excellent. Maturity beyond his years. Get him signed up for 2-3 years. Young Sam, another one who played well. Get him signed up too. They are our future along with others. Gibson and Yeboah are going to be good signings. Hurst played well. I was more impressed with the 11 that played the second 60 mins.
-
Straughan-Brown is signed up for the next two seasons with a year’s option
-
I did wonder. Thanks for letting me know. Two cracking players
-
Just to be cautious, it's only a kickabout for fitness, but their midfield had the better of the 1st period & they caused us problems getting through so easily, with better finishing they could have easily had 2 or 3. Sharp kept dropping off to receive the ball & get us going forward. They played the better football in that 1st period.

Selby has been telling us for yonks how good Flint is.
-
Flint & Brown played really well. Gibson & Yeboah will cause teams problems, very quick & direct.
-
They had a good first 10-15mins. Then couple of half decent attacks in first half.
Yes it was afriendly. Nothing wrong with praising who played well.

This was our first pre season practice match. I think it was Stamford’s third.

Again, a quite rare occurrence on Saturday with Rovers fielding two teams in back to back friendlies with the intention of giving players 90 mins each. For only the second friendly of the season, asking players to do 90 mins must be unprecedented.
I guess the concern must be picking up knocks the might affect our ability to field the strongest squad in the first league match, but clearly McCann is on a mission to make sure we hit the ground running.
-
Definitely a massive difference to SOD times when players rarely played more than 60 minutes in even the last pre season friendly. Which usually meant we were undercooked and slow starters to a season.
