  • work in progress, will update with more info when time allows
  • Loving this thread , a timely reminder of when the Preseasons are is a good thing!
    As well as any signings missed.
  • Anyone else think it is weird how we are playing two 45 minute matches?

    NO. IMO its much better than a second half that stops every 2 mins for subs.

    It was to be one 90 min game. Then Betis joined so they are playing 2 x 45 min games.

    Presume they only wanted to play 90 mins.

    Weird it is Broadstairs but it is good to get a bit of versatility in the opposition, seeing how certain players cope with certain opposition players!

  • I think its more to do with the Heat.
    I'm sure Betis and Sporting are used to it, but even during the evening our lads aren't used to that temperature.

    Maybe Bover is, but he's sh** anyway.

    many, inc me, will disagree

  • Breaking news: it seems that #cafc are no longer playing Real Betis or in a three-team tournament tonight (MW)
  • cafc official: (twitter) #cafc will instead play one 90-minute match against Sporting Clube de Portugal. This Spanish trip has been very confusing...

    Good point, just never heard of anything like that for a Professional team to do somthing like that, fair play though!

  • We did it against welling
  • Solly playing in central midfield was more confusing.
  • edited July 2012
    It was puzzling, especially as we had Wilson playing right back who I thought was equally adept in a central position.

    Doesn't matter, friendlies are for trying out new ideas and perhaps we might see Solly playing there more often in the future.
  • I guess that CO knows all about Solly at FB but wanted to see what Cousins and Wilson would do against good opposition.
  • Solly occasionally played CM and LB in the reserves/u18s.

    Looks like our friendly on the 26th might be the last chance to visit Underhill
  • Noticed that Jon Fortune and Dean Sinclair featured in their pre-season game v Burnham Ramblers on the 14th
  • edited July 2012
    Shame, but not surprised Fortune is dropping down the leagues. Played a few games at relegated Exeter but they decided to let him go.

    Sinclair always was a strange signing. Had no real chance of breaking through with the amount of players in front of him at the time.
  • thought the youth team were supposed to be playing today, not heard anything about it

  • The 1st team are done with games now in Spain. They're having a 60 minute game tonight against each other and then off out

    Pretty sure they played Forest this morning - can't find the result anywhere though.

  • They drew 0-0

    Lamce Shehaj ‏@LamceS73
    Just finished football drew 0-0 with Nottingham Forest tough game, although we should have won it!!
  • Had a commitment on the South Coast last night - the people I was travelling with in the car were Argyle mates ...... so on the way home today I was forced at gunpoint to watch Argyle's friendly with Yeovil Town.

    Yeovil hammered a limited Argyle 5-0.

    Guys - movement, tactics, in fact everything about us is light years ahead of these type of teams.

  • Hmm. Was gonna go to a few Argyle matches next season. Guess it'll be a charity f***
  • Next fixture
