Greenwich Borough v Charlton XI|PSF|15 July 2017|KO 7.30 PM

Henry Irving

The "traditional curtain raiser" at Park View Road having finished under three hours before this will be one for the diehards.

The big RGB derby has for some reason be scheduled on the same day but it at least means that all the squad and the U23s will get a run out or place on the bench.


Beeney
Tex, Konsa, Sarr, Barnes
Crofts, Dijksteel
Marshall, Clarke, Ceballos
Novak

Homes and JFC are likely to miss out with injuries but maybe on the bench.

U23s will make up the rest of the bench. Most interest might be here with six trailists at the last U23 game. how many have survived and will feature will shall see but a few shouts of "Oh, mate, who are you?" are likely

Players to watch will be free scoring Reeco Hackett-Fairchild and trialist 3

5 - 1 Charlton

Comfortable away win 4-0.

Anyone know if Pritchard is gonna play?

Looking at the two teams picked today I'm not sure which one I prefer

paulbaconsarnie

Done my drinking apprenticeship back in the 80's at the old Greenwich Borough club and Yorkshire Grey (RIP both). Saw Ian wright and David whyte play for them.
They had a tidy side last year including Bradley Pritchard and Charlie Macdonald.
Was gonna go and watch but away on hols.

Fair play to anyone who does the double header. I was planning to but Welling was enough pre season football for my desire.

dickplumb

I shall be going. I am a sucker for punishment.

Fanny Fanackapan

Will there be a commentary via the ever reliable Valley Passed ?

That's a more exciting team than the Welling one IMO

Henry Irving

Only three trialists but Reeco getting a deserved start.

With Ajose gone RHF must be in KRs plans

Sillybilly

Tex left out on account of being sold.

Henry. Not sure what you see in RHF. He is tall but skinny, easily knocked off the ball, not quick and no great touch. I think he is in Connor Gough, Zak Ansah and Chris Dickson territory. Umerah Hanlan and KAG are far better prospects. The 1st two need L2 loans.

Have you seen him play? Can't compare kids with legends but his style is reminisent, Aribo also has that driving style thats hard to dispossess.

And I hope you are right

Ceballos scores one and sets up another. Looked head and shoulders our best player in pre-season so far. Glad STTV might be snapping him up.

Having watched all the Ireland pre- season games Ceballos was the hardest working player on show, what evidence do you have to say his hearts not in it?

Quoting another poster on the Tex thread. Think Ceballos wasn't ever given a fair crack of the whip and is the playmaker we need this season.
