Good outing, enjoyable to watch. Don't want to be too negative about Rosso but they weren't really competitive - Frickley put up a better showing last year. Their pitch though is very nice indeed and they seem to have a good group of volunteers running the club.
First Half - the quality of Copps and Greeny shone through. Greeny was playing the holding midfield role orchestrating the entire game. Also noticed Garratt, seems a very technically sound player. The freekick from Copps was sublime.
Second half - we weren't quite as good as the first. Might be a tad harsh but perhaps because Middleton wasn't as effective as Greeny playing the same role. Tommy Rowe individual quality for the first goal. I am sexually attracted to the man.
Stand out performers of the young lads for me was Joe Pugh. Some lovely touches, turns and link up play. One to watch.

What about Longbottom first half? His goal was pure technique. A great opening 45 mins from a very young lad, I thought. Rosso gave him a bit of rough stuff but he weathered that really well and I thought he should have had at least 1 pen.
Frickley put up a better showing last year against, arguably, a poorer Rovers side.
IF
we get Green, I think I may start to get quietly optimistic. We are better than we were at this stage last season, no question.

Thanks fellas. Couldn't get there last night. First "first" preseason game I've missed in ages.

Knowing ATS and Keegan were injured, McCullough on holiday.
But where
Baudry, Achilles injury?
Wright
McSheffrey
Let's hope they are all available for Saturday game.
First half performance as a team was good. Second half had good individual performances.

Positive start, but it means little really against that level of opposition. Good to see strength in the squad throughout though, it feels like something is building. A good pre season should yield a strong start to the season hopefully.
I feel we need a midfielder (Green? - would certainly add some CM experience and a proven league 2 title winner remember) and a striker with pace to complete the side.

All sounds good.
Frickley will put up a better showing than Rossington. They play in the Northern Premier League and did well last year, they play a few leagues above Rossington who are a 2nd tier NCEL team, some 3 divisions lower down the pyramid.

Steve, Joe Wright played in the 2nd half alongside Butler. Alan, agree about Longbottom's goal.
As I said about Rosso - I wasn't trying to be disparaging. It will be a massive boost for them having rovers there. The downside is that they didn't pose an attacking threat - so wasn't really a test for our defense or keeper.

Is was Reece Fielding who played alongside Butler second half and I believe his regular position is Midfield

Stand corrected on that one then, he looks very much like Wright.

Fielding is the next cab off the rank, I believe. He went up to Scotland and I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a squad number.
