Pre-season Friendlies

[FarehamPompey]

Final preseason today against Crawley.. one week to go!

Final game of ours today too, Canvey Island away. A few first teamers in the starting 11 - Nelson, Wright, Hessenthaler, Garmston & Nash - but mostly youth. We have a superb crop of youngsters coming through right now, several of which have just signed pro contracts.

We're at Leeds. Decent crowd apparently which should at least get us a few £000 as our share of the gate receipts (as part of the Roofe transfer).

Beat Canvey Island 1-0. Completes an unbeaten pre-season, which while being a pleasant thing doesn't really count for anything. Bring on next weekend!

 

[Bar Carousel]

Beat Crawley 2-1. Pitman brace (again).

 

[finley]

Beat Halifax 0-3

 

[Marked Ox]

Lost 2-0 in the end to Leeds with Kemar Roofe predictably scoring the 1st followed by a late 2nd goal (was a good strike as well) from Stuart Dallas. Decent performance by us and a decent away following as well, estimated on the radio as being between 400-500 in a crowd of 13,295.

Battered Barnsley 4-0.

Proctor hat trick and Kieffer Moore.

lol we're going up.

Played Ipswich off the park beating them 6-1, could have been 7 or 8. Predictably, Holmes score two stunners. Can't emphasise enough how important him signing on is.

Don't usually read too much into friendly games but against Ipswich's strongest side, that's quite a statement.

2-0 Bristol Rovers next week then.

Chessie 4 Donny 0
Had Alfie May sent off in the first half which ended 0-0 then the youth team played the second with ten men and against their first team. I think we are still 2 players light both defensive.

Shrewsbury 1-0 Burton

To make it 4 out of 4 pre-season victory's against Championship clubs:-
Aston Villa 2-1
Wolves 2-0
Cardiff 2-1

I fully expect us to lose at home to Northampton on the opening day of the season, it's the Shrewsbury way, but hopeful we will avoid the relegation struggle this season.

For the second week in a row we played 2 teams in two games and won both of them. Leagues in the bag...
