Match Day Thread Pre-Season

So,the U23's kick off against Rot-Weiss in a few minutes. I wonder what colour strip they play in.

 

Tony Andreu hoping to impress no doubt

 

Interesting to see Lewis not in the squad and is obviously in contention for a place in the first team instead.

 

As will be many of the Germans who will know about the newly opened portal to English football!

 

Bayern v Arsenal live hd feed if anyone interested

HT 1-0 Bayern Lewindowski

 

U23 s 2-1 up Cantwell and trialsit Xavier from Portugal

 

2 -1 win for the U23's. Cantwell and Fonkau with the goals. Oxborough starred.

 

You posted as i was typing DD. Beat me to it.

 

So was it 1-3 or did one of you get second goal scorer wrong?

Pierre Xavier Fonkeu is his full name, so both correct. Other than the fact he's Belgian.

 

Yeah, I checked and DD used his middle name instead of his surname! Mea culpa

 

I've got my tickets for the games against Brighton and Swindon and I'll also get one for the Sunderland game.
It's going to be a pretty full ground for the Sunderland game.
Edit - Just seen this comment on MFW - "With tickets for the opening Championship match not only going on sale but being snapped up – all 3000 of them – within three hours, it is clear that excitement and expectation are growing among the Yellow Army."

Tonight's team, although apparently there's some doubts around whether weather will stop play:

Gunn; Godfrey, Zimmermann, Franke, Lewis; Reed; Maddison, Vrancic; Wildschut, Oliveira, Murphy
Subs: McGovern, Husband, Martin, Tettey, Naismith, Jerome, Watkins

I'm guessing that's 3 CB's with Lewis and Wilschut as wing backs? Reed, Vrancic and Maddison in CM, then Murphy off Oliveira? Or perhaps Godfrey at RB in a 4-1-4-1? It's hard to tell these days!

 

Great to see Godfrey and Lewis in the starting 11 and let's hope they can get some play.

 

0-0 at half time, but our opponents are down to 10. Red for a tackle on Oliveira (not sure if reckless or he was clean through).

Gunn is Captain apparently

 

Makes a change for Basil not to be sent off!!!!

 

**** sake we won't have any players left after pre season.

 

I've just watched the highlights of Cambridge Vs Norwich. I knew it was 2-0 and horror injuries. What I didn't know was Josh and Godfrey on the score sheet. That is so good!
