I think we have two real potential break through players this year; Kia Andrews and Callum Perry.

Both have done themselves no harm in this pre season so far.

I hope they get game time v Real Betis and St Pauli.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Interesting MVE starts. He seems very much in the plans

 

[Nick]

Probably need to delay it unless they open more than 5 turn styles

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Lines to get to turnstile 100s deep and stationary. Presumably the new ticket readers are bolloxed already

Make sure you have your ID ready before clicking into the livestream tonight. You will be subject to the UKs new age verification law if you want to watch us getting fucked.

Let’s hope we don’t leave a big hole in the back today

 

[MikeyMoo]

Simms starts- does that mean he is very much in the plans?

Sfs losing 6-1 to bvb on espn 06 whoever they are

Ben Wilson reportedly at hospital with heavily pregnant better half.

Let's hope they dont hand him the baby to hold!

Congratulations Ben, hope all goes well.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

The starting XI so way dismisses the rumour that Bidwell is imminently leaving.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Bidwell starting as well. Looks like he’s in the plans

Brad Collins isn't the dad

 

[stevefloyd]

Weak bench

Not enough turnstiles open by the look of it

 

[RoysterE17]

Espn +2 has the game streaming if anybody interested

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Is that side top six this season?
(Yes - I know "there is still business to be done (probably!?!))

If this is going to be our starting line up then we definitely need some more quality in. That is not to have a paddy about a preseason friendly, but that midfield is too defensive and void of creativity, and up front we are too weak.

Still plenty of time. Panic in about 10 days.

I think this is how we’ll start the season so best to go with it now.

Wrong again.

 

[chiefdave]

Might get in for the start of the second half at this rate. Absolute shambles, huge queues everywhere and most of the turnstiles are shut. Queue is barely moving

[Nick]

Nothing wrong with turnstiles, nice and quick just not enough open

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Yeah steward just said they’re only expecting 10,000 so not opened that many turnstiles. Wisdom overload…

RE the team, we need a striker.

We now have two quality right backs. Yes Milan could still go. But there isn't the queue some fans think

Thousands still outside

 

[Great_Expectations]

Heard the tannoy announcements for how to use the turnstiles every 5 mins and it’s a small crowd.

Hull is going to be carnage.

Looks like a scene from Shaun Of The Dead

 

[chiefdave]

To be fair nobody could have predicted closing a load of the turnstiles for an early kick off where people and rushing to get to the game after work along with a new ticketing system would cause any delays

Season tickets are no different to use are they?

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

It would be good if they had some way of knowing how many tickets they’d sold in advance.
