Unless i have missed it, but has there been any announcements of pre season games?3 or 4 weeks to go until start of the season and nothing. Even with these potential games being played behind closed doors you would think the club would be open with this information?
August 15, 2020 at 10:09 am #193348they only tell you what they want you to know, one of the players said last week they were going to play a couple of friendlies this or next week, but like everything that goes on it is all hush hush, they don’t keep supporters interested in a normal summer never mind one like this one, you see plenty of pictures of players training and nothing else unless they are selling something.
August 15, 2020 at 10:21 am #193349You’re absolutely right Mick. I was thinking about this just the other day when I looked at the OWS.
12th Man packages, replica shirts, face masks. A scattering of pictures/videos of training and the squad numbers list. No “news” of any substance. No wonder journos like Charlie Wilson second guess at possible developments much to the annoyance of the chairman.
The communication issues raise their ugly heads again.
August 15, 2020 at 10:35 am #193350I think they are keeping these games quiet as they don’t want to supporters turning up, also I would think if there is any planned they will be against localise league clubs not semi professional clubs like Barton, brigg, winterton as these clubs are not testing weekly for Covid 19.
August 15, 2020 at 10:46 am #193351Playing Donny today according to Donny press release.
August 15, 2020 at 10:51 am #193352Playing donny today 11-00 kick think updates are on Twitter and facebook
August 15, 2020 at 10:55 am #193354just seen on Twitter about Donny at 11am, but like we have all said this was announced 15 minutes before kick off.
August 15, 2020 at 11:01 am #193355the strip looks smart with the claret shorts and sky blue socks, any sign of Mark Lillis I wonder.
August 15, 2020 at 11:12 am #193356IRON FIRST-HALF: Watson, Bedeau, Colclough, Gilliead, van Veen, Butroid, Dales, Vincent, Olomola, Rowe, Hornshaw.
not many defenders among that lot.
August 15, 2020 at 11:21 am #193358Not sure who is playing at centre back with Jacob! Unless it’s 3-5-2 with Rowe and butroid plying left and right of him.
August 15, 2020 at 11:22 am #1933593-5-2?
Watson
Rowe
Bedeau
ButroidDales
Colclough
Hornshaw
Vincent
GillieadKvV
OlomolaAlthough I believe Vincent can ply LB.
August 15, 2020 at 11:57 am #193362the strip looks smart with the claret shorts and sky blue socks, any sign of Mark Lillis I wonder.
His wife just followed me on Twitter. It’s on!
August 15, 2020 at 12:07 pm #193363RON SECOND-HALF: Collins, Eisa, Green, Hallam, Spence, Beestin, Pugh, Barks, Shrimpton, O’Malley, McAtee.
McGahey, Clarke, Onaraise they can’t be injured already
August 15, 2020 at 12:27 pm #193364Mick, they must be injured surely…I hope this isn’t the road we go down again with Clarke…we’ve been down this particular road many times before.
August 15, 2020 at 12:28 pm #193365Bit different to a Russ Wilcox team then!
August 15, 2020 at 12:32 pm #193366Only 2 defenders in the 2nd half. And no sign of either of the new strikers.
August 15, 2020 at 12:38 pm #193367seeing we only had 3 defenders first half where are they all.
August 15, 2020 at 1:02 pm #193368He didn’t play Mooney or Jarvis either.
Maybe he knows what his defence is but needed to have a look at midfield. Let’s face it that’s where the work needs to be done.
Bit early for conspiracy theories!
August 15, 2020 at 1:18 pm #193369Iron 2-3 Donny. Eisa & Barks scorers.
August 15, 2020 at 1:22 pm #193370and twice hanging on to an equaliser for less than 2 minutes.
bonus, Rory kept a clean sheet in the first half, but we had a young side out in the second.August 15, 2020 at 2:18 pm #193372Bit early for conspiracy theories
I wouldn’t call thinking defenders are possibly injured due to not featuring a conspiracy theory. As you say though Northumb, maybe he wanted to look more at the midfield.
It could even be the fact he’s looking to field a totally different team in another friendly we have organised in the coming days.
Shame we have to guess on that front due to there not being any bloody information about upcoming friendly matches.
August 15, 2020 at 4:36 pm #193377Also that young Collins in goal looked terrible going by the clips of today’s game. Cox needs to work his magic and talk Swann around into getting one ASAP.
August 15, 2020 at 6:14 pm #193380“Shame we have to guess on that front due to there not being any bloody information about upcoming friendly matches.”
Understandable WG, they can’t risk 5,000 Iron fans turning up wanting to watch.
August 15, 2020 at 6:16 pm #193381Either the first half highlights were selectively edited or we gave them an absolute pasting before half time. Shame we couldn’t take some chances.
August 15, 2020 at 8:38 pm #193389This was said by Cox post match…
“One or two lads have got knocks, while one or two have missed a day’s training so that’s why we didn’t involve them.”
I wonder which one of those categories Clarke finds himself in !
August 15, 2020 at 9:32 pm #193394I appreciate that we are supposed to give young keepers time, but not sure young Collins looked like he even has potential to progress. Need a keeper desperately.
August 16, 2020 at 1:33 pm #193419😂😂😂😂😂
August 16, 2020 at 1:33 pm #193420Laughing at Cass’s post
August 16, 2020 at 7:18 pm #193426I appreciate that we are supposed to give young keepers time, but not sure young Collins looked like he even has potential to progress. Need a keeper desperately.
He needs loaning out or kept in u23’s….he’s no where near being even classed as a viable back up option !
