I absolutely love that video

 

Think we will struggle. Defence looks weak..midfield unfit..and up front lacking..hope I'm wrong but 0-4

 

Midfield unfit!!!!
How do you come to that conclusion

 

I just feel (and I may be wrong) that I didn't see too much of our midfield in pre season. Not too many with a full game...knocks and niggles..I just don't believe they can be in the best condition for the start of the season. Is that how it's always been? And maybe I'm overating villa too but I'm not too optimistic.

 

I read it as 'midfield unit' and inserted another word made up by me. Still means we are dog ****e

 

We are definitely not unfit.
We do lack quality upfront which needs addressing .

 

Jesus. Some of you.

Adkins has a decent team. Plenty of time to drill into them his style and tactics.

We are the Tigers. I think the ferocity and tenacity of our new squad will surprise some of you.

Apart from Milo obvz.

Start as we mean to go on, regulation 4 nowt to us.

You Ull.

 

This will pretty much be the team I guess, though Irvine may well not start as he is not match fit yet, so can see Stewart or Batty playing alongside Henriksen.

I would like to see Todd Kane in the team, as he has impressed in preseason, but that would be at the expense of Lichaj or either Kingsley.

 

The Lads are out training right now over the back fence. It sounds very intense with loads of " Quicker, quicker, one touch, one touch". Sounds like we're going to try and play around Villa as opposed to going through them.

 

Birthday today. (59) My daughter bought me a ticket for tomorrow night's game. I'm actually really looking forward to it.

2-1 city. Always optimistic.

 

I often hear the same over our back fence.


Bucket of cold water normally sorts the dirty ****ers out.

 

Anyone else a bit turned On?

 

No, just you.

 

Careful, Ern will be chucking a bucket of cold water over you.

 

Marshall

Lichaj Burke De Wijs Kingsley

Henriksen Batty

Bowen Evandro Milinkovic

Dicko

0-1 unfortunately
11,000 reported as 16,000

 

Same team, but 8, 000 reported as 16,000.

 

First season for years we have a shaky goalie, no experience at the back, and no strikers. Villa are weaker now than they were but probably still stronger than us in every position on the pitch. Bruce probably thought it was a gift from heaven getting us first match. As its first day i think we might get away with only losing 1 or 2 nil, but wouldnt be surprised if we shipped 3 or 4.

 

If we somehow sell-out a game, reckon it'd be reported as an attendance of 50,000?

 

Lichaj has no experience? Interesting.
Kingsley? Hmm.
Fc up front? Not a striker? I'm shocked. What's he been masquerading as all these years?
Dicko?
15 goal Jarrod Bowen.

The constant ****ting on your own team is a peculiar thing to hull, bit like ****ting on the city itself.
