Heroic!

So how the fuck does one use this?

As the club shared the trialist names with BBC i'm surprised they are still calling them trialists.

Assume the keeper is Baxter. Which of the trialists was a CM to play with Palmer?

Think they said it will go live about 5/10 mins before kickoff

So how the fuck does one use this?

What time is kick off?

Cheers.

I am FAR more excited about this than I should be.

Unless they are different trialists maybe?

Possibly but its more likely its one of them. Guessing Ben Reeves, as Cole was the other midfield player and he is injured according to Wellens.

Cheers.

Do you have to pay to listen to this

Has Baxter been confirmed by the club or is it just word of mouth?

No mate.

One of the comms needs to take his hand off the microphone when hes talking.

I think 9 is Tyler Smith.

Its difficult to make out from the commentary what is going on but at least they are covering it, unlike STFC.

New Yorkshire Pete? Haha

Has it stopped working during half time?

Yep. They've turned it off to get a cup of tea. Ooh, now there's some non-consensual music.

No Broadbent today then, I hope he gets a few games in pre season

You can only beat what is in front of you.

In no way, a dig but Twine really needs to get among the goals in these types of games. No good just being creative we have lot's of that already

Not that it means that much, but I can't ever remember us being this far ahead at h/t in a friendly.

Didn't realise PV was actually playing for 'Boro  ;)

Didn't we have similar results in Lake Garda when playing a "Norcia XI" or whatever they were called?  :hmmm:

A close relation ;)

AFC Bredon 1-13 Swindon Town
HT: 0-7 T.Evans (2', 35', 42'), B.Wade (22'), P.Coyne (34', 65'), D.Hockaday (37'), D.Moss (38' pen), P.Irving (48' o.g.), D.Hall (52'), C.Gordon (82', 87', 88')

Always thought Craig Gordon would make a great striker, so was surprised to see him become a GK. Talking of GKs and relating to the 1 - 13 above. Today's GK for the hosts is Anthony Bre(e)don  :)

Colin Gordon was a far better stirker than Craig Gordon would ever be! Colin is a football agent now.

That season we won the Div 4 championship....good omens?

Nice friendly looking tackle!

Saturday 8th August;

Boro were undone by League Two Champions Swindon Town at Liberty Way.

The Robins started the game with an almost full strength first team, which included on loan Sheffield Utd striker Tyler Smith, and were out of the blocks quickly as they looked eager to impress boss Richie Wellens.

Slick passing through the thirds and intelligent movement up front blew Boro away in the opening quarter with the visitors racing into a 5-0 lead inside 21 minutes.

The gulf in divisions was clear to see but rather than capitulate Boro dug in deep to stem the flow of Swindon attacks.

Boro were now having more joy in the final third and Marcus Kelly showed his technical ability with a stinging shot sent goalwards which was well blocked by the visitors defence.

Next to go close for Boro was Luke Benbow who sent a free-kick narrowly wide with his effort sandwiched between two Swindon goals in the closing minutes of the first half.

Swindon started the second half with eleven fresh players that included five first team regulars whilst Boro introduced three subs of their own Armsden, Dias and a trialist.

In the sapping heat Boro re-grouped and stuck to their task well as the visitors continued to push and move the ball around slickly on the perfect playing surface.

Boro were a whisker away from pulling a goal back when an arrowed shot rebounded off the inside of the post, agonisingly avoiding the incoming blue shirts, and was cleared to safety by the Robins.

Swindon responded with a well worked goal, moving the ball from one side of the pitch to the other before whipping the ball across for a close range finish.

Boro continued to show their character with a resolute and disciplined second half showing and went close with another well taken free-kick followed by a well struck shot that cleared the bar.

Youngsters Harry Jackson and Jack Hilton were introduced late on for Boro but the game played out without any other clear cut chances at either end.

Despite the heavy score-line, Boro showed their determination and spirit in sapping conditions against a title winning full strength Swindon squad.

BORO:
Breeden, Trialist A, Trialist B, Kettle, Edjenguélé, Trialist C, Shamsi, Lita, Benbow, Edmunds, Kelly.

Subs: Armsden, Trialist D, Trialist E, Jackson, Hilton, Trialist F, Dias.

Rivers reporting the game as an U-23 development game. So more of a training exercise. They have no plans to stream it, which means it’s being played at their gaff, I suppose.

You'd have thought if anyone would be up for streaming it would be Rivers



I'll get me coat

but what team did they put out, etc..

interesting ..

but like you say, pre-season and all that.

when's our next one? it's a bit radio silence in that regard

All very hush hush isn’t it. Makes me think it was us that wanted the media blackout, cos I can’t think of any reason for Man Utd kids to be so secretive.

No doubt all will be revealed.

I thought I read somewhere that we were playing Salford in one of the games?

Been training on the beach on the Fylde coast today.

That was such a great thing about Lou's teams, fit as a butcher's dog.
