Match Thread Pre season friendly - Chesterfield away

[blackydog]

Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here, but it seems to very late being listed, seeing as we play tomorrow.

 

[Uganda Blade]

I was thinking of starting a thread, but my toes are fine

 

[Aston max]

Being the last "official " friendly I hope we begin to see the starting 11 for the 9th , IMHO we still need to recruit a RB, CB, CDM as a minimum but I'm still fairly confident we'll achieve top 6 .

 

[Uganda Blade]

It'll be interesting to see if he starts with the same XI as Burton, and if so, whether there's a notable difference in performance.

X17 (£3) bus to centre for a then pub crawl to the Tesco car park.

 

[BladeByChoice]

I'd like to see a few of the players we expect to start against Bristol play the 90, and Garbage to play 45 and be tested just to see any improvement, on paper he should be #2 but so far it's Davies for me.

 

[Tony Currie]

I'm sure Louie Barry will get a decent run out.

What, and sleep it off in a trolley?

 

[Ginger Gnome]

I'd try Barry on the left with One through the middle for a bit. Getting the midfield to function properly should the main target though.

Grbic is better than Davies who never looks like he has a clean sheet in him, I'd rather use Faxon than either of them.

 

[Aston max]

Faxon
Seriki, anel, bindon, burrows
Peck,Ohare
Brooks, hamer, Barry
Campbell

Ohare a bit of a gamble but he's a bloody nuisance off the ball and is always looking for a forward pass .

 

[RMBlade]

Full strength starting XI for me, 2 weeks until the start of the season I think we need to start building some cohesion.

Faxons better than both of them 2.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Given that the team that started against Burton got 70 minutes each, I imagine the team that finished the match will start with Barry added in, and they'll get 70 minutes too.

 

[I should coco]

Ohare a bit of a gamble but he's a bloody nuisance off the ball and is always looking for a forward pass .

I really grew to love him last season. He plays all over the place and must be impossible to mark. An intelligent player with an eye for a short pass. He also finds space in the box, which makes me think he'd do okay at a higher level too.

I've never seen anything from Davies to suggest that he's a competent and reliable back up keeper. Everytime a cross comes into the box I wait for it to be bundled into the net due to him flapping about in panic.

 

[wavy-blade]

If Coops don't start this one i will be worried !

 

[Berkshire Blade]

As it stands our last game for two weeks...

 

[Harry's Game]

Family commitments tomorrow so can’t watch this one, hopefully it’s a full strength first 11 to start with and no key members out with sunstroke or sommmat

 

[wavy-blade]

This Man will get a great reception Fleckyyyyyyyyyyyyyy if he plays ?

 

[Winn Gardens Blade]

I for one will give him the reception he deserves.He is our Scottish hero

 

[loyalblade95]

If Cooper still has that minor injury, don't risk him.

Swap some players in and around 60-70 minutes.

--------------Grbic
Seriki-Anel-Bindon-Burrows
---O'Hare----Peck----Hamer
Brooks------Campbell-----Oné

Barry (LW) to come on for Oné at HT, maybe harsh on Oné but gives Barry 45 minutes to show us what he can do.

Faxon (GK), Cannon (ST), Ukaki (RW) and Marsh (CM) all to come on and get 20-30 minutes each.

That is what training is for. Do the exact opposite of the above and not risk unnecessary injuries to key players.

One of the McFadzeans is there too

 

[robbiez666]

I presume Robbo will start again. Anel will be off as soon as we get a decent offer. We desperately need another CM in as we can't play Hamer, O'Hare and Peck.

As it stands our last game for two weeks...

Midweek friendly abroad next week - behind closed doors.

yes but still think wilder used him wrongly hes better as an attacking midfielder not playing just off a striker

 

[blackydog]

Pubs, before and after?

Yes

 

[blackydog]

Yes

I don't really know Chessy for pubs. 2 Spoons, one where we will probably have something to eat later. Don't know which is the better one? I'm smashed after 6 pints, so not bothered about the Brampton mile. Somewhere a bit traditional (but not scruffy) would be nice.

Spa Vaults is a decent Spoons. Portland Hotel is decent too tbf but a bit out the way.

Best pub in Chez is The Market in my opinion
