Pre season 23/24

[Neal]

Interested to see how Sondre & Batty does. 

[goozburger]

Sounds fun so far.

5 minutes: Stanley should lead

8 minutes: Rovers should lead

I don’t think we can read anything into whose in which line up - but let’s do so anyway…

Kaminski first choice?

At the very end, was that Dolan and Greg agreeing on a new contract ? 

Not much in the way of eye contact between those two. Difficult not to read into..?

[WacoRover]

Is our deepest position gk- until Kaminski transfers?

[BankEnd Rover]

Tronstad looks good!

@TommyRovers suggested that there has been a death in the Travis family. 😢

I know it’s pre season but bloody hell that was a crap 30 mins.

Vale and Markanday doing a very poor imitation of a professional footballer

Edit: Thought injury break was half time - just finished now, still shit

Impossible. He's a downgrade because the intelligentsia on here have never heard of him, he didn't cost money and he's foreign innit.

It was dire in the first game last season, too, which we lost. Doesn't really matter, though. We went on to play better as time wore on in preseason. Just about fitness and giving players match time.

[simongarnerisgod]

as long as nobody gets injured it ` s ok,players have had 2 months off,they are going to be rusty,all about getting some game time

has vale done any running or moving yet???!!!!!

[tomphil]

These are leg stretching games nothing more.

Ash Phillips is looking bloody brilliant by the way!

Elliott Jackson has just said something similar. Apparently, Phillips has bulked up a bit. Hopefully not due to off-season burgers and stuff. 😄

[goozburger]

Apparently, a good showing from Tronstad before being subbed by Weston. Thoughts from others at the game?

[ItsRoverZ]

Had a mate text me Phillips looks like a man in his late 20s playing against kids. (Worded this wrong, what he means by this is Phillips looks levels above)

also says sondre was tidy, nothing to special but can see him getting alot of match rating 7s

Hopefully he's convincing enough to stop the Batth transfer and allow those funds to be allocated elsewhere.
