It won't be full paced tonight that's for sure, the thing is we haven't really had a full paced game for our fitness
Hopefully West Broms pitch will have had the sprinklers on all week

No injuries. Pitch likely to be like concrete. Weather --silly hot. Players still missing. Wouldn't judget the season on tonight, whether we win or lose by a few (more likely the latter!)

Never judge a season on any pre season friendly whatever the circumstances. Even the first four proper League games!

Will be interesting to see if they put out a fairly strong squad as well or if they treat it more like a reserve game.

Get JCH to give Keogh some aggro!

Let's hope that all our unfit players manage to get themselves fit for the start of the season plus Robins brings 3 or 4 more in because if that's our current strongest side then god help us

Do you support City, Charlie? You always seem down on everything. Pre-season friendly at Nuneaton.

We still have Sterling, Bayliss, Agogo, Kelly, Willis to come back before it's our strongest side.

Who are you counting as strikers? Ponti should go on loan. 2 new strikers plus JCH and Biamou = 4 (I'm definitely not counting Beavon)

Keepers, wasn't O'Brien supposed to be off? Granted the new keeper may be wishful thinking as I'm not a big Burge fan.

You can’t just discount players on the wage bill if you don’t like them.

Don't get injured either. At the moment, our main goal threat!

Will they be fit for the start of the season though? Every game matters and we can't afford to get off to a poor start because half our squad isn't fit. If today's line-up was our line-up vs Scunthorpe then I'd be very concerned. Season starts in 10 days and we can't put our strongest XI out for a pre-season game yet? Not exactly great, is it?

Before McNulty was sold we were told Robins wanted another striker so it's hardly madness to suggest that he may now want 2 strikers and that he's not counting Beavon either.

Where’s he now a days? Or is he here as a City fan after being dismissed by Derby?

I agree it's not ideal. but that's football - you can't expect the manager to sign new players just to cover short-term injuries. Anyway, Sterling and Bayliss are not injured - they should be available on Saturday.

TBF he has said twice he's after "one, two, or three". Whether that happens is a different matter but thats what he's stated he's after.
