Got a feeling it won’t be a tight game. We could have 6 or 7 debutants, and Leicester will be playing a different way under their new boss. I can’t see them keeping out Simms, Palmer, Godden, Hamer and Wright. 3-2 City

I thought Jones was alright. Wasn't a world beater but didn't look out of place., and I preferred us with Jones on the wing than Sean Flynn or Willie Boland Big Ron didn't fancy him, and he never played again once Phil Neal got the boot.

if it's signed off today (at the Turkish end) I presume it may not be in time for Sunday anyway, in terms of registering it with the EFL, unless that's already been done. The fact he hasn't trained though, on the bench at best I would think

I barely remember some of those names (Rawson, Turnbull, Reilly). Rose was decent, but didn't quite fit with our play. Always thought Kelly-Evans looked decent (Dion, not Declan) but has played at Non League level since leaving. Tudgay...Jesus. Slow, never scored and picking up his last pay...

Palmer has been the best player in pre-season. He's a certain starter. Hard to judge this one. Leicester have a new manager, and have had a poor pre season. They still have a great squad, but how many of those want to be there? We will have at least 6 new players in the starting X1. Got a...

I liked Panzo. He was very good up until that Wrexham game, when he was switched to the centre of the back 3. Everyone had a shocker that day (Moore, Burroughs & Kelly were worst offenders than Panzo IMO). Then he got injured, and Doyle got his place back and hardly put a foot wrong. If he...

How many 1st team minutes has Tavarres had, in total? Maybe 90 mins at a push. He’s scored a worldly goal. - and IMO always looked lively when he’s come on. Really could have used him in that Playoff Final too.

Watched some of his highlights...Strong and quick, left footed. Looks like he could be a good foil for Simms (who I am sure will be more of a penalty box striker)

Don't think Robins will play 2 up top unless we sign a top striker this week. And surely it will be MVE at RWB. Think Eccles will start with Sheaf and Hamer in midfield, with Simms at the lone front man. Sakamoto and Godden as subs!

We are sure to receive bids before the transfer window shuts, but I would guess that Hamer will be starting againat Leicester. We know King will negotitate hard, and the rumoured 3m bid was ridicoulous. I would probably take anything above 10m though. I am sure Robins has a number of targets...

A combination of Sakamoto, Palmer, Van Ewijk, O'Hare & Simms could be some attacking force this season. Stick Hamer in there too possibly

Jodi Jones did his ACL 3 times though, with very little playing time in-between. That's what affected his career, + he was a pacey, tricky winger who relied on his pace. O'Hare can easiy recapture his form from one ACL injury. Problem is if he does it again numerous times. but plenty of players...

I am buzzing. 2 CBs that look of real quality (that our ours) a Japanese wing wizard, an experienced left wing back, and a big man striker who has scored in this division. + Palmer and hopefully soon O'Hare back in the team.

BNC is so raw though. No way Arsenal will play him for a long time. He developed well with us last season (certainly defensively) but as a wing back I don't remember him hitting in any decent crosses. His octopus-like runs where always around the half way line and nothing much came of them.

Hated that kit in the 90’s. Didn’t we have those crappy chequer away kits in 20/21 & 21/22? Green & Black or Chocolate Brown. No f*cling red, purple or pink

I remember when he was Sheff Weds manager and I think they lost a Quarter final cup game at Hiillsborough, and as he was going round consoling the players he broke down whilst talking to one player. You don’t see that level of emotion from managers very often.

Lovely guy. Probably too nice for management, but always liked his punditry. Fair and balanced.

Thought Gallagher was the best player on the pitch when we drew at Ewood last season. Great header too for their goal. Think we need pace around Simms and Godden though so not convinced he would be a good fit.

Not at all. 1st pre season game. 3 key players (at the moment). Build their match fitness steadily.

I am sure we're still working on getting McNally in, and a left sided Centre Back (loan or Permanent). Sure Norton-Cuffy will be the RWB they are looking at too.
