Not really about player's you'll recognise as "any good".

They finished 9th in the Bundesliga, whereas Darmstadt who beat us 2-0 finished rock bottom.

Wilson. I expect Collins to leave on loan tbf

Maybe, although Collins is on a longer contract and Wilson has less than a year left if I remember correctly. Might be easier/cheaper to off load Wilson (purely from a financial point)

I have a really weird feeling Wilson will get a 1-year extension based off absolutely nothing

Be interesting to see who MR chooses as the second half keeper. I'm presuming Dovin starts obviously, but who's getting the back up keeper spot?
Click to expand...
Dovin 90 mins again hopefully. No point giving other two a runout.

Looking forward to it, not seen us play any foreign teams in Cov since 2007. Can’t remember when we played Dundee Utd ?
There might be a few Germans rock up on the day as well. Be interesting to see how we cope with a Bundesliga outfit.

Which begs the question, why did we even do it?

Seems pretty obvious when written out like that it's a terrible idea, plus the extra expense of it. Very odd.

If we'd have done it right with an overnight stay or two and a mini training camp it would be fine. Not a long flight. Trying to do it all in the day is a bit silly.

We played alright though in fairness.

The other odd one is Roma. Why on earth are we playing them midweek before the season starts!? We better pray no one is injured.

Fuck knows, they have Naby Keita, was at Liverpool (they paid 70mil?) but they fucked him of cause he was shite. They also have Olly Burke.

The rest are Germans I've never heard of and a Norwegian

I too long for the return of playing the likes of VS Rugby in pre-season, rather than the current unpalatable trend of playing mid-table Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A teams.

I think it has worked out well playing Roma next tuesday.

Sheaf, Wright and Rodrigues can all get 45-60 minutes under their belts if fit, all need minutes now due to their injuries.

The 11 that start tomorrow leave them at home on tuesday.

I think there's no cash turnstiles tomorrow just selling tickets on the day as far as I know.

Think it's to get use to the Saturday/ Tuesday theme, dont think we will play the team we start with tomorrow though tbh, just more fitness and minutes under the belt

Times have changed. With the E mail tickets straight to your phone ,unless there is a shortage of seats people will buy last minute . I’m expecting a load to sell when folk get home from work and more when they wonder what to do for the day in the morning.

Plea in advance - Darmstadt (the club) and their fans welcomed City fans - great to see. Hoping we don't do any '10 German bombers in the air' crap, and if any hint of it, it gets booed down, or gets no traction. Nice to show a bit of class as a set of fans.

Who from? Surely by the time all of the club's travel / accommodation etc was paid for it would cost a fair whack to get out there?

Agree with the 10 german bombers type stuff, maybe not try and give them a reacharound but fair play to them travelling over for it.

On the pitch, let's not show them respect

Was it waiting on some sort of bank confirmation? Mine does it sometimes where I have to go into banking app and approve.
