Shame about Palmer and having to have 4 forwards on the bench. Assume Saka won’t last 90 mins. Shows we really do need a few players in to add depth still.

Why won’t Saka last 90 mins?

Looking forward to seeing Sakamoto and Wright from the start.

I fancy us to win this.

Five players who could easily have started this game. You can only bring five on so I don't see the problem.

Palmer’s already been a poor signing for us and is in danger of becoming a terrible one.

Poor is harsh. Certainly needs to improve his fitness though.

Best way to watch the game from home today? Can only see audio options on iFollow.

Firestick/IPTV with a provider that has iFollow on it, then you're sorted for all games.

Strong upfront, but Wright should cause their defence plenty of problems.

Encouraging that Tats and Wright start, we need that creative energy, was honestly dreading Kelly potentially starting.

Yeah that's my guess, Sheaf, Eccles and Kelly in midfield. Mark Robins will go with what he knows.

Okay what do I know, but it's nice to see Mark Robins being positive.

Poor is fair considering he was one of our highest earners last season, and contributed very little.

But he’s played in every pre-season game and featured in every game this season . He should easily be up to speed

Will Van Ewick last 90?...seems we are short at RWB too. Especially as Saka playing behind front 2 it seems.

He wasn’t poor at all. He contributed to us finishing 5th especially when O’Hare got injured. Could he contribute more? Absolutely but calling him poor is a terrible take

Palmer being unavailable could do us a favour today, Sakamoto has the ability to run at pace and carry the ball, which Palmer lacks, and that could be a bonus away from home where we may be pushed back for long periods, his quick trickery could also win us free kicks around the box.

You mean Wright right on the left, with Sakamoto left on the right?

So were Kane, Walker and Waghorn, he contributed much more than them. He’s a scapegoat when there’s no need. He will never win over some people

Apparently, both MVE and DaSilva are wearing 27. Could cause officiating issues, perhaps.

I fancy us today, a 0-1 perhaps, to break the Swansea hoodoo and give us a bit of steam. ⚽️

He started fewer than half our league games and scored three times, two of those being consolation goals in defeats.

Happy with that team sheet. MR maybe taking a bit more risk, really hope it pays off. Big chance for Saka in particular.
We do seem to have a lot of injuries and our players aren't the fittest, that needs looking at.

He wasn’t poor though. He still performed well in some games but you’ll never change your mind as you had it in for him from the second he signed. Clueless

Yeah that was another concern of mine. If MVE goes off maybe Kelly comes on and Eccles drops to RWB again.

Preseason isn’t the same as competitive matches though is it. Hopefully you’re right though, a player has to do 90 mins for the first time at some point.

That’s a fair comment. I just think he’s a good player that has that ability to make things happen but he needs to do it more often. Some right over the top reactions at both ends of the spectrum, I agree

Didn’t he play the full 90 at Wimbledon?
