2-1 City

Ponticelli scores close to the goal with a cutting / sliced effort at the back post after a corner is poorly cleared

Good strike

The kid is going to be a star.

Forgot this was kicking off so early. Looks a tidy little ground.

Biamou takes a long ball down beautifully while on the move! Beautiful!

Just as someone in the crowd asked 'how's your touch'. I think he answered that one the only way he could

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

when he started banging them in for the youth team i agreed with nick he should be given a chance i think he can do a job in league 2, hes young hungry and knows where the goal is, if he has a good pre season his confidence will be sky high going into start season which be great to have.

2-2 Leahy messes up Hyam scores an own goal

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

 

[sw88]

Biamou tries a long range shot, V block it, seemed to be with his hands (probably claim trying to protect himself but were in an unusual position). Free kick rightly given

 

[sw88]

Shipley hits the wall

Obrien being very vocal despite ball being no where near him (was when Shipley lining up free kick and going on even now!)

 

[sw88]

V shot deflected wide for a corner. Would have been on target otherwise

i like it its good hes keeping them aware all times if they counter and break while majority of the team is up for the free kick

3-2 down Loic Nestor with a great strike

 

[sw88]

Had two blocked efforts just before that, again through us heading a clearance back into our own box

 

[sw88]

Leahey slides in to concede a corner

The game he's having this will probably lead to another goal

Hope you aren't doubting my commentary

No subs left.

Surprised he's lasted the 90 but hen I guess he's playing because we're lacking in Lb's as it is so none to cover on the bench

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

In fairness was a good goal keeper had no chance pinged it in fair play, we were too slow closing him down:

 

[sw88]

Moorhouse shows frustration and takes their CB out kicking his legs from under him as he wasn't moving quick enough I like him already

Your lack of grammar really confused me here. I wasn't sure if you were complimenting he finish or the goal keeper

 

[sw88]

I wish Phillipe could cover all our goals

lol, sorry im in work and have to be careful having this on my screen so just typing like a lunatic lol.

Full time 3-2

Much more attacking second half. If we can start with the defence we started with (minus poor Daragh) and with the attack we finished with I'll be happy!

Front three second half looked very useful, although not sure Ponticelli will be used from the start

Moorhouse should earn a contract. He looks very useful.

Rimmer difficult to assess as didn't really have much to do in the first half on the right

Obrien impressed with me for his vocals. Couldn't do much about the winner

Overall a decent run out and nice little location to have it in

Now to see what we do Friday if anything! Being in the middle of nowhere I need something to occupy myself!

Many thanks sw88 for you commentary as ever. And well done to the SBA for a good turnout.

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

3-2 loss glad ponti scored tho, leahy had a shocker hopefully he will bounce back.

 

[Mcbean]

Well done SW keep the Sky Blue flag flying !

 

[baldy]

Ace to see young Ponticelli getting a goal but I do wish the Chronic Telefaff would stop treating goals & debuts in pre-season friendlies as though it's like a proper official match & be counted in the season stats...it doesn't you dweebs

 

[sw88]

No worries! Good to be back

Just hope they sort something for Friday. See on Twitter they are suggesting they've tried every avenue.

My only concern is they will decide on an inter-team game, but then based on tonight's team + subs, we'd have to fly more players out! Wouldn't that be a waste?

 

[lifeskyblue]

Seems shambolic organisation. Hopefully something can be arranged last minute.
