Wells, Lambe & Smith See Pre-Season Action
|
NAHKI WELLS
Most of Nahki Wells and his first teammates got 90 minutes under their belts in a double dose of behind-closed-doors action at the Barnfield Training Centre.
Wells was in the Burnley team that saw plenty of the ball against Blackpool.
Blackpool gave Burnley few sights of goal and took their chances to in each half to seal the win.
Wells went closest for Burnley before half-time with shot cleared off the line by Oliver Turton following a Dwight McNeil free-kick.
But Blackpool, with a handful of their new signings on duty, grabbed the lead through Joseph Dodoo’s close-range finish.
And after Burnley had threatened through a Sam Vokes header and a shot from Jeff Hendrick which was saved by Mark Howard just after half-time, the visitors doubled their lead.
Former Burnley striker Nathan Delfouneso had just headed wide and after boss Gary Bowyer made a raft of changes with an hour gone, substitute Harry Pritchard scored with his first touch, side-footing home as he followed up a rebound via a post.
REGGIE LAMBE
Reggie Lambe and his Cambridge United held League One Charlton Athletic to a 2-2 draw in a behind closed doors game at the Addicks’ Sparrow Lane training facility.
Joe Dunne’s men played out 4 x 30 minute halves, allowing for almost member of United’s first team squad to gain an hour of game time.
Down 2 – 1 Cambridge United made a full eleven switch midway through the encounter and through the likes of Lambe, George Maris, Jevani Brown and Ade Azeez carried a greater threat going forward after the break. The game was varied from the first period in which Cambridge United were now able to work more on their in-possession tactics.
Cambridge United equalized via a set piece, when Azeez flicked on Liam O’Neil’s corner at the near post for George Maris to tap into an empty net at back post.
JONTE SMITH
Four second-half goals saw Jonte Smith and his Lewes teammates continue their winning start to pre-season with a convincing win at Southern Combination League side Saltdean United, reports Tom Harper.
Lewes took the lead just after the drinks break midway through the second half, as Conlon collected a short corner from Dukali and beat his man before cutting the ball back for Smith to finish from close range, which proved to be the winner.

Lambe & Trott Pre-Season Updates
|
 Reggie Lambe IslandStats.com
Reggie Lambe and his Cambridge United teammates continued their strong pre-season form with a convincing 4 - 0 win over Royston Town at Garden Walk.
Lambe a half time substitute and his team leading 1 – 0 continued to excite United supporters and not long after he’d thumped the ball against the underside of Royston’s crossbar, the former Carlisle man did convert in front of goal, lashing a strike into the bottom left corner from 18 yards on the end of a clever tee up from Azeez.
Jevani Brown struck the woodwork too and Foy worked himself into a number of goalscoring position through the 45 minutes, however it was Lambe who had the final say when in similar fashion to his first, he laced the ball back across goal into the opposite corner with his left foot on this occasion.
NATHAN TROTT
Nathan Trott was an unused substitute as West Ham United won their Pre-Season match against League One side Wycombe Wanderers 1-0.
Marko Arnautovic scored the only goal of the game in the opening period, and although the rhythm of the game was disrupted by changes throughout the second half, that was a decent workout for the Hammers.
