Bench will be interesting tomorrow with so many departures, or players put on notice to leave Moore, Johnson, Anderson, Rigg, Mundle, Aouchiche, Rusyn, Watson, Ba Not much in the way of defenders/midfielders...
I noticed on the website on the team pages, all the players have their new photos in the new kit. Pembele is missing. Perhaps he's already gone / going
Exciting to see if Zak Johnson can cut the mustard mind, I think most people expected him to be at least a couple of seasons away, he could end up on the pitch making his league debut.
Makes sense. Both him and Poveda were in the training video the club put out earlier, may see them at Preston
Totally open mind about what ill happen Ill plump for a 1 -1 draw with Mayenda hopefully getting on the score sheet Will do his confidence world of good
I'm warming to Rigg wearing 11. Usually it's a left winger, isn't it? Anyway I view it as a goal scorers number so maybe that's an omen for the season.
Looking forward to it. Browne will make a big difference, I think a lot of our problems have been the result of a weakness in CM, putting pressure on our defence and Neil and Browne together will stamp that out. After that it's how do we score, Roberts seems to be a new man thanks to our new style, Clarke will always get goals and Reggie seems to fancy Mayenda, have to see how that goes but he's an exciting player. Sincere thanks (in advance) to RTB for another season of top quality match threads.
I'm on the 6.40 train from Durham . Got as far as York before cables down at stevenage. Continued eventually to Doncaster and now taxis courtesy of Lner to Swindon. Arrival time at Swindon 02.40 FFS. What a journey. I'm sure it will be worth it.
I was on the same train. Me and my mate bailed - currently in Wakefield. 50/50 for the game tomorrow. Exploring all options
after watching the last friendly that has given me a lot of confidence in our press and build up play but cautiously I still think we have a bit of work to do on our defensive shape. That said I feel that little knot of excitement in my tummy which I have not felt for a while so I am going for a 1-3 and a morale boosting start. Also seen this which I thought was an interesting piece on a pod cast and is the second person to tip us to win the league.
