Pre-season Friendlies

[DippyDon]

6-0 in the end. Liam Manning is rumoured to be devastated that it won’t affect the TFF pre season table

 

[Chris FGR]

Won 2-1 at Swindon Supermarine, both goals from March.

 

[BarrieOwl]

Lost 2 1 to Bournemouth

 

[masi51]

losing 2-0 to Carlisle at h/t 2 bad errors.....Have a feeling we will see changes at h/t and a better attitude

 

[WhiteRussian]

1-1 v the mighty Kings Lynn Town. That's probably lost us the TFF pre season Championship. Manning out.

 

[Carver]

Haaa you got beat off us, you're shit!

Thought you would rise up the leagues back to the top again didn't you, but no, you're now just a genuine L1/L2 club who will plod along down here..

 

[K-Win]

Gillingham 1 Pompey 2. Last minute winner from Gills old boy, Connor Ogilvie. First appearances for new boys Josh Griffiths and Joe Pigott.

 

[91SPP]

Beat a very strong Hertha Berlin 1-0 at home. A great first half performance. Second half was marred with changes, but good to see some of the young players put on a good show.

£25 on before the game for £100 return on the Derby win, didn’t go amiss too!

[Marked Ox]

Lost 2-0 at home to Coventry. Good turnout by Coventry supporters.

 

[Davidimp]

Drew 1 all with Hartlepool

 

[Moomin]

1-1 draw away at Yeovil. 38 degrees on the pitch apparently. Scorchio.

 

[thewwfc]

4-1 defeat to Watford.

 

[Super_horns]

4-1 defeat to Watford.

TBH sounded like you had a few chances and one of our goals was a penalty plus another in injury time .

So might have flattered us .

 

[Si Robin]

2-1 defeat to Cardiff. A dubious winner apparently (I wasn't there, going on what a non-Cheltenham supporting friend has told me).

Oh well, decent mins in the legs.

give your head a shake.....put the fishing rod down
Its pre season we got beat off you 5 days after beating Watford 2-0 neither will have any relevance to the season ahead.
Enjoy your season and you never know you may not lose a 20 point lead and games in hand to a team after Christmas again

Cracking stuff from the club*. Fair play to the lad, his family and his Doctors/Nurses. Also gives a good view of the Coventry turnout.


*I appreciate all clubs do this but it is nice to see.

[Si Robin]

I noted that Ipswich and Plymouth are the only teams with friendlies next Tuesday - are these likely to be first team games at all, or will I be able to announce a Champion next Monday?

 

[Chris FGR]

Looks like it's probably between Derby & Peterborough. The key game being Derby's clash with Leicester. Don't win that and it opens the door for Posh. Oxford will need to beat West Brom to stay in with a chance, which is a tougher ask. A big week coming up.

 

[denzel ecfc]

I knew there was a reason we were mainly playing non league sides this pre season. OK, we lost to Tiverton but...

 

[Tom_CUFC]

The results from the past weekend:


Cambridge 2-0 Notts County

Hate to ruin our chances of making the playoffs, but we played two 70 minute games.

We were meant to have been playing West ham u23s next Tuesday afternoon but it's been cancelled and we're having an open training session instead.
Part of the club open day.
