Tyler WalkerBiamou header ?
He won't be match fit. He'll just get injured. Likewise Sheaf, Torp.He's back as are all of them by Saturday coming?
Just googled it (with ten men and we saved a pen!)Tyler Walker
Rudi was playing a kind of hybrid 10/8 role and it seemed like Eccles and Allen both at time took turns in being the deeper midfielderWhat was the orientation of the midfield last night? Eccles holding with Rudi and Allen as 8s?
Yep. Your Hull's and Cardiff's midweek in bleak January are the real tests. Always have 0-0 or a sneaky 1-0 loss in them

Binks looks like he could be the first choice LCBLike the look of Rudi, works hard get stuck in and is really creative, EMC is gonna be a beast for us, get a decent back up striker and competitive midfielder in and we go to go I feel, special mention to binks aswell thought he looked solid from the get go. Can't wait for this season now....PUSB
As mentioned earlier. By Everton fan.
Let's leave the team selection to Robins and his team and trust him . Robins has always asked for more depth to the squad and now he has it.
I believe Dean Lewington is still going at the age of 40 with MK Dons, fairly sure he played against us for the old Wimbledon!Racking my brains on my morning shift...
Is Ashley Young the only active footballer left who played at Highfield Road?
If all of the current squad are fit there will be first team standard players not making the benchDoes he have it? Not sure we do have much depth with our CMs, STs or RBs tbh. Few people have said how we were lacking without Sheaf and how Eccles didn’t play as well without Sheaf, so I feel like we could do with another CDM type. Probably need better than Obikwu if we’re to give Simms a rest now and again, and same for Van Ewijk as a lot of people said Burroughs wasn’t good enough the other day. We’re literally a couple of players away from having a complete quality squad, I hope we manage to get them in by the end of the window.
You wanted 5 players the other day. We have 5 CM's at the momentDoes he have it? Not sure we do have much depth with our CMs, STs or RBs tbh.

I’m not talking about all of the squad though, just the ST, CM and RB positions. We don’t have a player similar to Sheaf or Van Ewijk and Obikwu maybe needs more time to develop.If all of the current squad are fit there will be first team standard players not making the bench

Did you watch last night?Yes but 2 of those are Palmer and Allen, and whilst Allen apparently had a great game last night we didn’t see him play consistently well last season (when he did play). I just worry that if we get a serious injury to Sheaf/Eccles/Torp then we’ll be lacking defensively and creatively in midfield.
Petition to have this become the new Ellis Simms song

Rudoni put himself about a lot last night , seems to have a lot of natural strengthLet's hope we handle the more physical Championship a bit better than last year.
I think EMC can handle himself, not sure about Rudoni but he is a tall lad.
Saka will still be a target for roughing up so we need to be on it as a team and at the ref and the captain being vocal.

He didn't watch it , he said as much last night . Weird how he can still have an opinion on a player ?Apparently?
Did you watch last night?
Using last year as a stick to measure Allen with is ridiculous given how disruptive it was. He didn't have a pre season

Utter tripe again "suddenly turned a corner" ? Allen has always been a reliable member of the squad and one that Robins sings the praises ofI don’t think missing one pre-season game means anyone’s opinion on a player is suddenly invalid. I said I can’t comment on Allen’s performance myself but judging on previous games from last season I don’t think he’s consistent enough. Maybe he’s suddenly turned a corner but none of us can know that for certain.
Since when has Parks been the forum thug?
Might be a 3 x 30 minute fixture ?Shame the Roma game is being played behind closed doors, would have liked to have seen that match up. Strange it isn't, but maybe it's just reserves?
Did maupay come on?
Should have shithoused him.

He barely played last season ffs“Turned a corner” based on last season’s performances which people say I shouldn’t base my opinions on. He wasn’t good enough last season, maybe he’s improved drastically on that but I personally don’t think one pre-season game is enough to say. Don’t dislike the guy, I just want us to be the absolute best we can possibly be
