Yellow shirts no sponsor if anyone was wondering

Our new 'home' kit?

 

---

[sw88]

Well, I said at the time that it seemed an odd place to meet anyway. Hopefully Hoff and Fish are meeting as we speak.

Hoff is here with Joe. Haven't seen Joe's binoculars today though. Maybe he knew director watch was pointless with Fisher not coming.....

 

[hotrod]

So how we playing?

 

[valiant15]

I reckon the cheeky bastards will pit otium on the 'home'and sisu on the away. Why not, theyve done everything else to wear us down.

 

[sw88]

Any SISU out banners or chants.
Anyone know if slime ball fisher is there ?

No banners but there has been chants. Black balloons have been brought. Apparently to suggest RIP CCFC, although as they are plain black balloons, Im guessing yet were on sale when brought in bulk?

 

[sw88]

So how we playing?

Fleck is spraying long passes to the right quite often but they aren't really coming to much. Very few chances created by both teams. Baker losing possession quite a lot, but its not dreadful. It's definitely 'that first game of the pre season' feeling for me!

Nothing is beyond them!

Ha ha, I was hoping for a cheeky Spanish Bosman, instead it's a kid from Zimbabwe via Whitley.

"Home"? What is "Home"?

 

[sw88]

9 changes HT.

 

[Nick]

Who is on now?

 

[SkyblueBazza]

Fisher not at match

Might be tucked-up having a nice pre-arranged lunch with GH? Or is GH there for all to see?

 

[sw88]

L Clarke 2-1

 

[CovLis86]

Didn't think we would have 9 alternative players to bring on.

 

[sw88]

Who is on now?

Was hoping no one would answer that

Burge, Christie, L Clarke, Thomas, Moussa, Lojboit, Louie Garner, Haynes, Billy Daniels

 

[hill83]

L Clarke 2-1

League One Tour

 

[Noggin]

was it 7-0 last year?

 

[Nick]

was it 7-0 last year?

That was Hinckley wasn't it?

 

[woody11462]

No, lost 1-0 last year I think. Was Hinckley we trounced.

 

[sw88]

Leon Clarke pen 3-1

 

[sw88]

Moussa 4-1

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Woo hoo, we're gonna piss league 1 now easy

 

[ajsccfc]

Operation Premiership is a go. Logically we're set to beat Hinckley 34-0 next friendly.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

What was the performance like? Any youngsters impress?

 

[FRY-CCFC]

good performance playing nice football garner and lobjoit played well. thought finch did well along with eli bako

 

[Nick]

Did we miss the bomb squad?

 

[FRY-CCFC]

nope the most we'll miss is edge because we have very few cb's but forgot to say phillips looked good and if cyrus leaves, a defence of phillips willis clarke adams isn't to bad. only problem is the lack of experience

 

[FRY-CCFC]

garner was the stand out youngster for me

Against league one strikers?? We leaked goals last season with experienced centre backs

 

[FRY-CCFC]

agree just on todays performance looked ok we still need new cb's just saying that the youngsters looked like they could do a job

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Top City turnout.

 

[sw88]

Did we miss the bomb squad?

By the end of it, I think Clarke wished he was still in it. One of only two players to play the whole 90

 

[sw88]

garner was the stand out youngster for me

Was For Me too! Then again, he looked good last pre season too. Do think we'll see more of him this year

 

[FRY-CCFC]

hope so showed a lot of pace and trickery, something we haven't had in a while

 

[sw88]

I'd say second half was an improvement, but Nuneaton's poorer fitness levels. We were able to pass it a lot more towards the end, hence the few late goals
