Is Chaplin allowed to play?

I'd play him and Baka if so up front.

Any fun being had at New Street yet?

Not yet but they are only letting Cov fans in the Shakespeare. Saw 2 Leeds fans get turned away

 

[AStonesThrow]

My three year old shouted 6-1 cov at me when I asked him what the score would be, bets on 125/1

I've had bakayoko to score, cov 1-0

Edit that last post I think it was because they were under age as a few Leeds in here

The daunting prospect of listening to CWR without watching the match awaits me unless I find a stream...

I'm the same today. In a right lethargic grump because I won't be able to watch. Amazing how quickly you get spoilt - used to listen to the game every week and that did me fine for 10 years out here but now after a season and a half of iFollow I'm lost knowing we're playing and I can't watch. Even worse when I know what's being described on CWR is nothing like what is really happening!

Well Doyle’s in the squad going by the clubs Instagram, only shirt shown so far.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I’ll keep you updated

It has been reported on social media that there will be a minute’s applause on the second minute of the match, in memory of a little boy. Hopefully the SBA will join in and show the respect due

 

[Nick]

Hiwula up front?

Good to see Mason back!

Strong bench too.

 

[sw88]

Is Davies injured?

Kelly also absent

 

[Otis]

Is Davies injured?

He had a knock in the game last week.

Is Chaplin allowed to play?

After Bakayoko's performance against QPR in the U23's on Monday, I would have been astonished if he had started today, Nick.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Chaplin on bench

 

[better days]

He was incredibly passive
Forward players at this level need to be on the move and keeping defenders guessing
He made it so easy for the QPR central defenders who were older first team guys so couldn't be bullied by his size

 

[standupforcity]

This isn't the team the BBC are posting!

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Press association reporting a v different team - now corrected. As you were

Been corrected. The point wasn't that was the team, more for amusement value, as obviously wrong.....

That was the U23 line up from Monday, except for O'Brien instead of Burge.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Odd how Grimmer has fallen to 3rd choice

 

[sw88]

Oggy has let himself go!

 

[clint van damme]

be interesting to see how Eccles and Ngandu get on.
Good things expected of both of them by the sound of it.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Really not that bothered today. About the most boring draw we could have had. Hope we win obviously but would rather lose this than a league game.

Hmmmm, unsure if serious or not....


It's fake news, m8.

HAHA! Oh right. Stuck at work so reliant on the ever dependable SB Talk for my match day info.
Won't be making that mistake again!

edit - just looked on the BBC, surprisingly strong line up.

 

[Pete in Portugal]

On paper, it looks like a strong bench today, though I don't know how fit Bayliss is.
