Re: Toronto Friendly Game Date Changed : Fri Jan 25, 2019 2:11 pm  

We could start with

Stephenson
Ryan
Oakes
Webster
Foggin-Johnson
Milnes
Chisholm
Kirk
Wildie
Crossley
Garside
Storton
Wood

Not exactly what I'd term a 'reserve team'...albeit not 'full strength' either. With Falangan suspended, and a few players injured or carrying knocks, that looks about as strong as anyone could expect.

I bet Chisholm plays the full game as he's not had much gametime.

Quite a strong squad there, quite suprised. Must say after last week's epic I'm not so enthused by the visit of Toronto now - bring on Fev.

I'm giving it a miss this week, need to be fit for the Fev game. I pity the person washing the kit this week,2 more players added to the squad.

But this isn't a "friendly", it's for the Transatlantic Cup! I don't know how you can miss such an important occasion

On the original subject, it's a good job they moved the game. The 10 degrees that my car said it was on the drive home from work would definitely have been hazardous to the players

Well yeah, the number of times I've decided against doing something on the basis of a weather 'forecast' is unbelievable. In fact, the only thing more unbelievable is the fact that I do it again and again...

Re: Toronto Friendly Game Date Changed : Sat Jan 26, 2019 10:12 am  

I think the reason for the game change was due to the new lights blowing after 1 use.

Anybody have any thoughts on the match ?? Please could not get sound or video here. Thanks..

Re: Toronto Friendly Game Date Changed : Sun Jan 27, 2019 5:03 pm  

Nowhere near full strength.

Re: Toronto Friendly Game Date Changed : Sun Jan 27, 2019 5:26 pm  

Looked like a team that didn't really want to be there. Going through the motions really. Think we just want pre-season to be over and what to get on with the serious stuff. Not full strength either. Toronto looked sharp and look to have got rid of some of the rough house Rowley tactics. Can't see passed them for promotion.


Expect a different attitude and team for next week. Still... hasn't stopped some on social media making statements based on an under strength team in a meaningless game. We really are upsetting a few
