Are we all convinced Haji is that far away? By the time you’re getting minutes on the pitch you’re generally only a week or so off.

I’m sure Haji will play, suspect that might be 30 mins off the bench though.

 

[robbiethemole]

So, has anyone left today on the eve on the season???

 

[skybluecam]

Don't they normally release squad numbers, did I miss that? Maybe there's so few new players they've just decided everyone is staying the same.

Not seen any announcement on captaincy either so assume we're sticking with Sheaf.

The notion of changing captain is ridiculous, zero good comes from it. It's a ceremonial role and only serves to piss off the person who loses it

Not much else available. Well anyone id pay to watch anyway.

 

[Graham64]

Hopefully he will start Sheaf . Je is fit those year full pre season behind him which matters a lot. To many people jumping on the get Sheaf out

 

[quinn1971]

Sheaf starts, hes captain

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Yeah that guy is a total moron

 

[shmmeee]

Sheaf starts, hes captain

Kelly was captain for ages and couldn’t get in the side tbf

Didn't we do that stupid "club captain" and "on field captain" thing though?

 

[Johhny Blue]

Bit of a tough call on the front man, but I'd give it to asante for a few games and see how he does. If wright is fit i would imagine he would start over both BTA and Simms but let's see. 2-1 a reasonable scoreline I think.

I think Simms is probably a better player but I prefer someone that runns his arse off so BTA for me right now.

 

[Macca]

1-1. Huff and puff to get a goal then a defensive clanger

 

[Johhny Blue]

Like this. Why not roll the dice - if it doesn't work out it's not as though we're not used to shit starts.

We start off against three of the potential
“ weak” teams. A slow start would not bode well this season.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I'll go 2-1 Cov.

That’s always a thing. If Sheaf isn’t playing for any reason someone else will be captain for the game but Sheaf is still club captain (do we have a vice captain like Fadz used to be?)

I have left East Yorkshire and travelled to North Warwickshire this evening to be ready for the game tomorrow

Sorry I meant like this

 

[Garlana86]

Left it late to get a ticket for tomorrow, my ideal locations are gone, doesn't tend to be the most raucous atmosphere at the Northstand when compared to the other end, but beggars cant be choosers i guess. I noticed stand 5 had some spaces, im pretty sure i knwo the answer but can anyone confirm if that's the lowerish stand right near the away fans? Stand 6 is always closed right? Trying to decide where to go.

Yeah so did I. If Sheaf is playing he takes both roles. But if he’s injured or subbed off or dropped then the laws of the game state a captain is required for the match so one is assigned.

Leaving at 07-00 in the morning. Should get to the ground an hour before kick off.

I didn't have you down as one of the "must win" cult.

 

[covcity4life]

Lampards presser indicated no issue with Simms. Im hopeful he comes good this year!

 

[Houchens Head]

Just watched Birmingham v Ipswich on Sky. Neither impressed me. We should piss both of these.

Blues were the better team but didn’t really create anything. Ipswich were awful.

Nice that SaddleTwat hasn't flapped his gob and ruined the suspense. Is it going to be Asante or Simms.......Bidwell or Da Silva. Can't sleep.

That's because his mate isn't laying the shirts out anymore.

Let’s get this party started
