RE: Pre-season friendlies - Baggievicar - 14-07-2018
Don't see how this can possibly help a team gel for the season, which I always thought was the point of these games.
RE: Pre-season friendlies - WBA-Josh - 14-07-2018
It finished 3-1 to Albion.
Goals from Jay Rodriguez, Kyle Edwards and Kyle Jameson.

According to Matt Wilson Edwards ran the show
RE: Pre-season friendlies - Blue Baggie - 14-07-2018
These games build camaraderie between new players and new signings - oops no new signings were present (sry).
It was a nice run out and chance to see a mix of old and younger players against different opposition. It means little
in all honesty.
I would rather DM be checking other possibles. Unless Swindon secretly has a couple of up and coming strikers?
Gutted Chadli got injured today.

No Rondon for this game, yet he played against Barnet. Does that mean he's on the same list as Dawson and McClean?
Why is Burke getting so little game time? Is he coming off the back of an injury? Saw him as a key player for us in the Championship given the way he performed there with Forest.
Please tell me that isn't Nigel Reo-Coker? WTF is the point in all these trialists who haven't kicked a football for years.

These friendlies help DM pick his team to win the championship title .......... Stoke.
RE: Pre-season friendlies - 4evaabaggie - 15-07-2018
Two good wins ....... against quality champions league opposition ....... not
Fair play ... we won both, had a work out, don't know if you can call it good as the level of opponents were two and three levels below where we will be competing ..... Good to see Mozza get 50 minutes ...... against Swindon two one hour halves, .. novel.
Season starts in less than three weeks and still no evidence of what squad we will have to play against Bolton, if we have a match because I heard they were on strike over non payment of wages ...... ?????

So we're not signing Cranie but he plays in all the pre-season games?

Finished 1-1. Livermore scored the equaliser.
