A surprise on the team sheet today.

I think the thing that concerns me the most is often in the Championship, we (and others) are completely at the mercy of a referee. Couple of poor decisions (Plymouth last season…) and it doesn’t really matter if you’re the better team.

The refs in this league are almost unforgivably shit, barely a game goes by where there's not a dog shit decision that could have completely changed the outcome.
Just got to take it as part of the theatre I suppose.

A surprise on the team sheet today.

Dolan finally touched down via Espanyol?

 

[CovInEssex]

Tbf, that's a low bar but fingers crossed mate, if we're sticking with him this season, we'll support him.

I think most will agree when i say I can support players who give their all, all season long. Players who don't make runs or give full effort I have a short fuse for

 

[Great_Expectations]

Got my timings completely wrong and had to fully sprint for the train, just made it, but I’m dripping in sweat and pretty sure I’ll smell.

Not an ideal start!

Kick off's at 3 pm mate, cool your jets.

Sheaf benched

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Awful team

 

[Briles]

That Bench is absolutely filth

 

[gspotgaz]

Didn’t realise lineups out hour and 15 before game now

 

[kg82]

That team sheet’s out early!

 

[skybluecb]

Wow didn't expect Sheaf to be on bench, BTA starts ahead of simms interesting

Didn’t realise lineups out hour and 15 before game now

Used to hours earlier with MarshyBrains

MVE is saying the longest goodbye to his teammates ever

 

[Sbarcher]

MVE is saying the longest goodbye to his teammates ever

If he’s not playing but here today it would be good to get him on the pitch to say farewell.

 

[covcity4life]

Surprised sheaf bit starting but torp is quality too

And yay mve starting. Guess we can have 2 great rBs

And come on bta. Do a goal

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Fair fucks Lampard. Going with Torp

 

[larry_david]

Andrews and Perry need loans. First squad of season and neither of them in it. Don't waste their development Frank

 

[skybluegod]

They have a decent team out tbf on paper. Should be a very good game.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Quite like that. Sheaf for Torp for me but we’ll see.

 

[covcity4life]

Such a strong sub bench too.

 

[Briles]

Andrews and Perry need loans. First squad of season and neither of them in it. Don't waste their development Frank

I think the fact it's the first squad of the season has some say in that

 

[TomRad85]

Interested to see if Raphael is trusted to get decent minutes in a league game. Looked decent in pre-season.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Oh Milan van ewijk

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That Kitching ‘boxing’ picture gets me every time

 

[Gibbo]

For those saying 'strong bench', as Lampard does not substitute until the 70th minute these 10 outfield players account for over 95% of total playing time (10 players x 90 minutes)

 

[Cally Fedora]

Is Eccles injured? If not I’m surprised he can’t make a squad with 3 LB’s in.

 

[kg82]

Is Eccles injured? If not I’m surprised he can’t make a squad with 3 LB’s in.

Nah, he’s injured.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Very happy to see Torp starting

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Well done Frank. Grimes with Torp

 

[procdoc]

Is Eccles injured? If not I’m surprised he can’t make a squad with 3 LB’s in.

He’s not played any pre-season games mate

 

[Bristol sky blue]

YES!! Torp ahead of Sheaf The right call
