brackley town v leicester city eleven 0-3
brackley play in the dr. martens western division,i wasnt at this game but the report says it was fairly comfortable for leicester.
Logan and Sheehen both played the whole game and Sheehan scored leicesters second goal midway through the first half.
He played in the 0-2 defeat to Rangers on Tuesday night too as far as I know.Quote:

Liverpool are playing Olympiakos tonight and again Potter gets a start in a strong lineup:
Carson
Josemi
Hyypia
Medjani
Riise
Potter
Hamann
Gerrard
Garcia
Crouch
Cisse
Subs:
Carragher
Whitbread
Warnock
Alonso
Le Tallec
Sissoko
Zenden
Morientes
Baros
Andy O'Brien put in a "solid performance" in a 2-2 draw against Monaco according to Portsmouth's website. He was subbed after 75 mins as Perrin made 4 changes to give some youngsters a run.
Does anyone know if Liam Miller has figured in any MUFC pre-season game? All I could find was that he played no part in the Hong Kong game, despite Ferguson picking 2 separate sides for each half.
I'm sure i heard of him scoring in one. Against Clyde?Quote:

Maybury came on for the last few minutes against Inter for Leicester last night, and McCarthy remained an unused sub, I read somewhere that Levein said 2 other players worked well at centre half, will Paddy still be first choice at the start of the season?
No sign of David Connolly either, still injured?
leicester v inter 1-2Quote:

Maybury came on for Sheehan who had made his home debut last night at left-back and had a decent game,he got booked,and the build up to inters 2nd came down his flank but he didnt disgrace himself at all and played football when it was on,with a few lovely passes,and put his foot through it when he had to.he also blasted a free kick which was charged down.
big gap in quality between the sides,leicester had made a few half-chances but didnt take them,then inter created 3 in 10mins,took 2 of them and then kept the ball for the rest of the evening.
james lee mathews home from city, and john fitzgearld sold to bury.
Willo Flood set up 2 goals, and Karl Bermingham scored 1 as Man City reserves beat Stalybridge ****** 4-3. Both Flood and Bermingham were substituted just after an hour, at 4-0 to Man City
Match report - here
This is Steve Wigley's first game in charge of the reserve side, and it was heartening to see Bermingham starting, but I had hoped Flood would be more involved with the senior side. There's 2 games this weekend (Stoke and Sheffield Wednesday) and with any luck one (if not both) will be involved.
Stephen Ireland didn't play at all which leads me to believe he will definately be playing this weekend.
O'Shea played 72 mins and Liam Miller 45 mins of MUFC's 2-1 defeat by Kashima Antlers in Japan earlier today. No mention of either in match report.
Ben Burgess and Damien Delaney played the second half for Hull City against Sunderland in a 1-0 win for Hull last night, while Elliott, Breen and Murphy all made appearances for Sunderland. Murphy had the the Black Cats' best chance to equalise, heading onto the top of the cross bar.

rushden and diamonds v leicester city 2-0
a young leicester side,mostly reserves and academy lads.Logan and Sheehan both played.Sheehan played at centre-half,as the new left back signed from plymouth made his debut.Sheehan had a free kick charged down by the wall.and Logan is credited with a fine save in the 24th min which kept it scoreless at the time.
David Bell is singled out for special mention by the leicester o.s. as having been a thorn in leicesters side throughout the game and it was he who scored r+d's second with a 20yard freekick past Logan.
I thought he looked very skillful for the Irish U20s in the UAE but his career doesn't seem to be going anywhere.Quote:

Anyway, QPR won 2-1 but neither Henderson nor Rowlands played any part. QPR played two other 'keepers though. Morrison didn't play but he did play an eralier game against Peterborough, scoring Birmingham's goal in a 2-1 defeat. Doyle played in goals for the second half. Presumably this was Colin Doyle.
Just saw this in the UK's The Independent, in an article on Man City:
Yesterday, City drew 1-1 with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. Glenn Whelan opened the scoring for Wednesday in the 37th minute.
But City's bright young strikers are giving Pearce a boost ahead of the new season. And the Irishman Karl Bermingham, 19, brought the visitors level in the 61st minute.
EDIT: and the match report is below. No sign of Partridge in the Owls' line-up. Willo Flood played well & Graham Coughlan also played for SWFC.

(PS: how do you do it so you can just type in "match report here" rather than having to insert the full URL?)
Wednesday website says Partidge was an unused sub.

Steven Reid scored for Blackburn at Swansea on Saturday, and he scored earlier in the week too. Good to see him get a good shot at pre-season. Maybe this'll be his big year!
Match report below. It says Douglas came on after 73 mins. I presume this is Jonathon Douglas. I thought he was at Gillingahm but this must only have been on-loan.

I've always liked Steven and thought I'd got it wrong when he flopped in his first season at Rovers but he's getting it together now and hopefully we'll see good things from him this season.Quote:
