And We're Off - Pre-season 2023-24

[CroJack]

They say it was a game with plenty of tackles. Intense.

Would have liked some goals but we kept a clean sheet. Another rumour were interested in Lee Buchanan from the Bundesliga I think.

 

[KVetch]

Transfers have been happening faster than usual, well done so far. This Jerry Yates looks like an excellent replacement for Piroe. Kyle Joseph goes to Blackpool so that solves his role unfortunately.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Based on goals per minutes played: Piroe, Cullen, Ginelly, Yates, Whittaker are ranked in this order.

The structure of the Board should already be on file at Companies House.

When you look at the cheapest ticket for Inter Miami …. a dead bottom losing club … $345, the price of my season ticket for the Swans, and £5 per match for the preseason is a steal.

Swans convincingly beat Swindon 5 -0 this afternoon with goals from Wood,Piroe , Cullen and 2 for Josh Thomas.
Yates had his first 30 mins while Key played the first half . More changes were made after 60 mins .
So far a decent start to pre season.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

We have not conceded a goal yet and are starting to score in the numbers expected. This augers well.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

According to e match report, Thomas had a busy and productive outing. Scored 2, made 1.

Josh Thomas could be pushing Cullen if this goes on. With Piroe almost certain to leave we need other strikers to step up. I see that Palace and Fulham are interested in Soton's Che Adams so, if either happens, Martin will be looking for a replacement striker. If he comes for Piroe then make him pay top rate. They have the money.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

See the highlights …

Thomas and Cullen combine nicely. Thomas doesn’t scuff his shots the way Piroe often seems to, he hits the ball clean. Thomas could be the new discovery.

 

[The Blobster]

Still no sign of Liam Walsh, is he injured again ?
Whitaker not on the pitch today either.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

I haven't seen a line-up card yet, but there are some U21s sticking around and playing. Ogbeta … has not been seen in any match. Is he injured? Perhaps Walsh and Whittaker are suffering aches and pains … Duff has apparently been ultra demanding on the fitness front. @ivoralljack is going to love that.

Can’t wait for the Oxford game to see who Duff lines up where.

Still no sign of Liam Walsh, is he injured again ?

Yes, but it's a minor injury.
