1-1 - Trialist!

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Even first half,contrasting styles with bridge being a little more direct.
Good work out tho

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

2-1 Celtic!

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Oh dearie me - Coley cancelled their day off for drawing with Skem, they're not gonna have another day off all season for this! - still the other half of the first team did ok this morning with Sean Mac netting twice in the 4 - 1 win at Radcliffe so not all bad news

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

4-1 at celtic also.:( wrong way round though.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

All about getting fit,it was obviously a big game for bridge and they upped their game,were it was about fitness for Acci

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

That doesn't exactly reassure me - as it suggests that after two weeks training including a trip abroad we're still not as fit as a team of part-timers?

Or were we just doing grid sprints and ignoring the ball completely?

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

The lower league teams always play a more direct game,indeed their number9 was an handful in the air,but took all the throw ins as he launched them in the danger zone and the centre backs went up every time.
It's difficult to defend against, but with a bit more fitness we would have ripped them to pieces

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

The right winger who scored looked like the best player on the pitch, may have had more if it wasn't for the iffy offside. The key moment was when the clear penalty was called offside at 2-1 and the keeper played all round a 40 yard cross shot free kick for 3-1 just after.

Stalybridge look like a good well run club with a ground far superior to Stanley's, about 150 on today, good food and beer at reasonable prices.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

I remember going to Stalybridge years ago, it was some piddling cup match & Chris (psycho) Butler missed the decisive penalty kick - was an impressive ground then, would've like to revisited today but didn't work out - hope to be at Halifax next week, again for the first time in quite a few years
