[Nick]

Are we going to play a strong 11 or 2 x teams again?

[Macca1987]

What was the result, seemed to have missed this

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Feels like the time to give his ideal starting 11 (or as close as) a solid 60 minutes at least.

 

[Viktor17]

Time to play starting team now, for 60 at least.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Play the starting 11 but for at least 65 minutes

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Play the starting 11 but for at least 65 minutes

Hayden or MVE?

 

[Hincha]

Got to be the starting 11 for 66 minutes at least

 

[Bugsy]

I'd play the starting 11 for 70 mins then change it to give others a chance

5-2 sky blues....PUSB

 

[JSL]

At least play a starting GK FFS

 

[SBT]

Play the starting 60, but only for XI minutes

 

[long way home]

2 different teams doing 45 each, will be minutes exercise. Its Saturday we get more of an idea of how FL is seeing his 11 against Hull.

 

[AOM]

Be interested to see how many away fans are in attendance. Same as for the St Pauli game

 

[mark82]

Hayden or MVE?

KKH at left back.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[chiefdave]

Got to be the first XI for these two games, or something vaguely close to it. Getting pretty close to meaningful games now.

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

KKH at left back.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Lots of posters very certain that’s gonna happen… looking forward to their reactions

 

[fernandopartridge]

Hayden or MVE?

Hayden imo

 

[WestEndAgro]

Must win

saw somewhere that they are streaming it on their youtube, so i imagine there will be streams about

Werder Bremen brought a few hundred last year very impressive

 

[Speedie's Head]

I want to see much more from our strikers and more pace and crispness in the build up play. Far from good enough so far and not long to go. We have a relatively easy start on paper and it's vital that we're in a position to capitalise from it this season

 

[aloisiwouldhavescored]

Is it being shown on ifollow or firestick ?

Is ifollow still a thing? Used to watch quite a few matches on there the next day if Sky weren't televising it. Found that CWR are broadcasting games both that one and the Saturday one, so that's better than nothing. Wonder who the commentators will be?

 

[AOM]

We're not showing it anywhere, but hopefully Real Betis are somewhere

it is outside the uk but in the uk sky show all mid week games so there's nothing they can televise left

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Hayden or MVE?

Depends internally how confident we are Milan will go.

If he’s likely to go, I’d start Hayden

 

[alexccfc99]

Not going, £32 for two friendlies in a few days is a bit too much for me and would rather go to the Saturday one

Should be a good test for us though!

Good chance it will be on the firestick if shown on ESPN

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Rushworth has to play the whole game

 

[David O'Day]

rushworth
kkh or mve (depending on if mve is expected to stay)
Thomas
Kitching
Brau (liked the look of him in his actual position and would like to see how he does against better opposition)

Grimes
Sheaf
Rudi

Saka
Simms
EMC

It'll be interesting to see turnout tomorrow. I'd imagine a lot of people will be doing the same.

7pm KO isn't that ideal either.

 

[Nick]

7pm is a bit shit, the 45 minutes or an hour does make loads of difference in time to get there when working.

 

[procdoc]

I am going to both as I have been bored as fuck since the Sunderland game
