bcfc01 Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Just thought that it may be mildly interesting to post Championship teams pre-season results. Granted, it isn't a reflection of how teams are going to perform in the league, but may or may not be of interest. Read or ignore. 18th July Bristol City 7-1 Swindon FGR 0-4 Coventry Murcia 0-0 Sheff. Weds Torquay 1-1 Plymouth Cheltenham 1-0 WBA Hull 1-0 Barnsley Sutton 0-3 Millwall 19th July Leicester 4-2 Leuven Alkmaar 1-1 Norwich Braga 1-0 Cardiff PNE 1-2 Ipswich Rotherham 0-2 Middlesbrough Northampton 0-1 Birmingham Salford 2-2 WBA 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 The really stark realisation of how little pre-season results matter came in 2014 for me. Before we won the double and got oh so close to 100 points I watched as we lost to Weston-Super-Mare. Not a dig OP, just an anecdote I like to share. I’m sure many others recall that evening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, first game of that season I remember watching us deservedly beat Sheffield United away. As I said, its mildly interesting (or not for most).

Monkeh Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Nice to see the results but pretty meaningless, The only thing I'm concerned with is fitness, and zero injuries 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 349 Ipswich fans at Preston for a ps friendly, that's impressive and not championship related but Newcastle took 8000 to Rangers the other night, that is incredible support for a "friendly".

Much though I think it’s great for the long-standing local Wrexham fans, who have been through some pretty tough times, to have some success and then see their team play some bigger clubs in pre-season, perhaps some games that might actually prepare them for life back in League 2 would be more appropriate...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Noticed a couple of scores tonight. Dunno if behind closed doors, fans, whatever.

Seems a bit strange to play us tomorrow, having played a pretty much full-strength team tonight. Swansea full-strength too.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 I see Ipswich played two pre-season games today. Assume one side would have been stronger than the other bit one v Cambridge United and one v Stevenage F.C. A neat symmetry in that both games were 2-1. To their opponents. Porto played Cardiff and beat them 4-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Preston 2 Aberdeen 0 Derby 3 Stoke 0! Plus Middlesbrough 0 Real Betis 1. That sounds competitive although Tommy Smith got a bad injury...the game was at Chesterfield too.

bcfc01 Posted July 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 I see Ryley Towler captained the team for Portsmouths game against Havant last week (1-0 win) - good for him. (they beat Crawley 9-1 yesterday) Tuesdays opponents Exeter got thumped 4-1 by Torquay yesterday. Not a lot of bearing on the season of course (before somebody states the obvious), just observations.

bcfc01 Posted July 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 Just thought I'd take a look at PNE's preparations. I had them down for a relegation struggle this season, but they've made a couple of good signings and Mads Frokjaer looked very good with two goals in their win over Aberdeen. https://www.pnefc.net/news/2023/july/highlights-pne-2-aberdeen-0/ Their previous two games saw them lose to Barrow (a) and Ipswich (h).

bcfc01 Posted July 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Down to the nitty gritty tonight/tomorrow with the last pre-season game for most championship clubs. WBA lost at Forest Green tonight, but that would have been a younger/fringe squad as they play Bolton tomorrow. Ipswich had a double header of 30 mins each way and beat RB Leipzig 1-0 and drew with Werder Bremen 1-1. Blackburn beat Stockport 1-0 but play Girona tomorrow so that would have been a second string. Leicester play Liverpool tomorrow and Leeds play Hearts. Then the fun starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
