[StrettoBoy]

Nah Bobby 's the false nine!

He will be a proper nine with Haji on the left.

More football above this division you know.

Don’t believe you, it’s been that long.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

More football above this division you know.

well it’s a good job we ain’t in it then isn’t it and we’re playing in the one we are in

 

[Warwickhunt]

No Mve and no long throw being the main reason.

Watch out for Thomas doing one or two long throws especially with Wolfie in the box

 

[quinn1971]

Start like we did Saturday and we’ll win this

 

[Jamesimus]

i thought this was a new wum account and the fact it’s not has spun my head

TBF they said some mental stuff in a match thread before, but later admitted they were hella drunk so I admire that level of honesty!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It’s both. You need good defenders to play this system but we don’t have good defenders.

Bloody hell, does Lampard know?

 

[Jamesimus]

well it’s a good job we ain’t in it then isn’t it and we’re playing in the one we are in

There are people in other threads almost convincing me this time next year we will be playing Premier League football. Stop ruining that for me.

 

[shmmeee]

Bloody hell, does Lampard know?

Id imagine that’s why he spent all summer looking at better ones yeah

 

[Jamesimus]

Id imagine that’s why he spent all summer looking at better ones yeah

Which ones? Are you going to say Charlie Hughes?

 

[Mr Dave]

Anyone know if it’s on the red button? Looks like the only game not showing atm

It’s on there now, just popped up

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Id imagine that’s why he spent all summer looking at better ones yeah

yet has signed one and is playing his two original ones.

 

[Paxman II]

Just seen the team sheet, wow big surprises! Should we be worried? Not anything I was expecting.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Which ones? Are you going to say Charlie Hughes?

The argument that our CB’s aren’t good for this level because they aren’t Van Dijk or other prem defenders is astounding

 

[shmmeee]

Which ones? Are you going to say Charlie Hughes?

And Rushworth and KKh and Woolfenden. Our entire summer was spent trying to shore up the back line generally.

 

[Jamesimus]

Just seen the team sheet, wow big surprises! Should we be worried? Not anything I was expecting.

Not sure, did any of the names on the team sheet look suspicious to you?

 

[Jamesimus]

And Rushworth and KKh and Woolfenden. Our entire summer was spent trying to shore up the back line generally.

Imagine if we signed all of them and then ended up being top of the league for the first half of the season. That would have been some start. Unfortunately not to be!

 

[Shannerz]

It’s both. You need good defenders to play this system but we don’t have good defenders.

That's enough of this nonsense now.

Thomas is one of the best centre-backs in the division, MvE is probably the best right-back in the division, and Kitching is a very good Championship defender.

We play a high-risk-high-reward game; we'll always give up chances, even at our best. When the team (the whole team) is not on song, we'll give up more.

 

[ptr]

Which ones? Are you going to say Charlie Hughes?

Marco Rente

 

[Paxman II]

I hope the 5000 travelling fans are not going to be disapointed...

 

[shmmeee]

Imagine if we signed all of them and then ended up being top of the league for the first half of the season. That would have been some start. Unfortunately not to be!

The only way to be top of the league is of course to be perfect and beyond reproach in every area every game.

 

[mmttww]

Sky team sheet has Kitching at LB.

Frank's confused the f*ck out of 'em!

 

[Jamesimus]

Marco Rente

Looks good him actually

 

[Tommo1993]

Hot coral. Pass me the bucket.

 

[Boicey]

The concern is we get overrun in midfield.
We'll miss Torp's engine.
Let's hope Haji will surprise us by turning up sharp and eager.

 

[clint van damme]

We can't lose to a team sponsored by spud bros

 

[Jamesimus]

The only way to be top of the league is of course to be perfect and beyond reproach in every area every game.

That sounds absolutely impossible. We should strive for it regardless.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Sky team sheet has Kitching at LB.

Frank's confused the f*ck out of 'em!

Can’t wait to watch Dasilva at centre mid

 

[Ccfcisparks]

The only way to be top of the league is of course to be perfect and beyond reproach in every area every game.

we don’t need to be perfect to win the league so why are you whinging

 

[ccfcchris]

SBA magnificent.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

SBA magnificent turnout

 

[ptr]

Ref having to wait for 7:45

 

[MTK]

That mass of Sky Blues fans is SO impressive. Credit to you all. Cheer the lads to victory and get the reward you deserve 🩵
