Well here we go. After a very poor pre season, I am at a complete loss to have any idea of team selection and playing systems. Let's hope for a posative start. A couple of new faces, but also a few departures of quality players. It's live on Sky. More to follow.
Can't believe the new season is only a few days away. This one has crept on me. Thanks Bure for getting us rolling.
Same here Bure. We can't possibly start with Hanley and Duffy as the cb partnership surely, but Cordoba has only played 20 minutes and Coyly not at all. Will JHT be brave enough to start Hills? But whoever plays we surely must be to good for newly promoted Oxford and Placenta.
Hasn't JHT given a clue about Cordoba being involved? Also I believe Forson (shirt name, thankfully ) could be involved.
Cordoba not involved, Hanley/Duffey CB partnership. Forson on bench. Edit. Oh, and Rowe is there but asked not to play.
Yep PinkUn said Rowe was supposed to be starting but decided to remove himself from the squad this morning despite Narseille not being close to our valuation. Silly move and not how I would have expected him to behave
Youth definitely being promoted on the bench. I’d be interest to see Forsyth and the new kid come on today
Not much sign of the new era in that lineup. But glad to see Hills, Forsyth, Myles and Kamara on the bench.
Nice little nudge in the back and then an awful header by Handley, nearly conceded another this time due to Gunn passing straight to the opposition!
