Alfreton

Hmm, I noticed Pearson gave away a penalty (handball) in the final practice game in Spain. Let's hope this doesn't become a habit.

Ajayi makes it 1-1 Sharpe played through keeper saves it and he smashes it home

[dknward2]

Get in time to move up the gears

[dknward2]

We are level courtesy of Damola Ajayi. Billy Sharp spun onto a pass into the box and drilled a shot which was parried by Alfreton keeper George Willis. Owen Bailey saw his follow-up blocked but the ball sat up nicely for Ajayi to slam in from 12 yards.

Sharp!! No E!

Pearson looks heavy legged

[scawsby steve]

I know it's only a friendly, but who looked good, and who looked shit in that first half?

[rich1471]

Ajayi,nixon,senior, sibarra and flint looked Sharpe

Rovers winning 2-1 Broadbent

[rich1471]

Gibson should have scored not long after broadbent but shot straight at the keeper

[scawsby steve]

Owt happening? What was Broadbent's goal like?

[donnyguy]

Owt happening? What was Broadbent's goal like?

Quote 3.   1
Another goal for Rovers, this time through Brandon Hanlan. Luke Molyneux powers in off the right and drills a low effort which is blocked on the line and squeezed out, only as far as Hanlan, who slams in.

[dknward2]

Not messing about, glad to see the players have clicked, hopefully we can keep going all about fitness

[steve@dcfd]

Min by Min updates are really poor on the DRFC site they are just not happening whoever is supposed to be doing it they are poor

 104 mins The intensity of this game has dropped somewhat heading into the late stages

Intensity of the updates has been low from the start of the game.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Maybe there's not very much to report.

[DearneValleyRover]

Alfreton have pulled one back

[IDM]

The score is always irrelevant in a practice match..

[DonnyBazR0ver]

FT 2-3. Ajayi and Hanlan off the mark.

Anybody know who Rovers 38 was?

[Usher wide.]

Siberia is playing in a deeper role like crew did last season  and playing some good balls

And there’s me thinking he’d been frozen out of the squad!

Hopefully Grant won’t give him the cold shoulder this season

Anybody know who Rovers 38 was?

Harry Glaves U18 full back apparently.

McCann on absences:

 "Jamie (Sterry) woke up with a stiff groin. It's nothing too serious but we didn't want to risk him.”

“Robbie (Gotts) has got bad blisters on every toe, the kind of which I've never seen before. We left him yesterday and tonight but he'll be fine for Saturday.”


“And as for Joe (Ironside) he's a little bit behind the group in terms of fitness levels and sharpness. He missed the whole off-season programme because he's carrying a little problem in his pubic bone area from last season which got infected. He's frustrated with it. He trained single sessions in the first week but didn't in the second. And then last week in Spain he trained all the double sessions every day so he's probably four or five session behind and we'll just get him sharper before we involve him."

He certainly didn't look out of place and looks a real prospect.
