I was intending too but the flight prices were a lot this year.

Only £150 return with jet 2.

I was going to go, but throw in a hotel and car hire for one person, I was looking at over £650 for a week. Was a bit steep for me.

That was kind of what I meant. The whole trip combined for just one match seemed excessive

 

[chiefdave]

What time is KO?

 

[Nick]

4pm UK time.

Ah.... Yeah, if a few people go and you can get a villa, it works out at next to nothing, but being a single traveller who doesn't want to stay in a hostel, you get screwed. My plan was a few days in Torrevieja, then go upto Benidorm for the rest of the week.

Didnt Jimbo do one this time? He must be running short of cash now

The wife is away for a few days and I saw we were playing Northampton, so I thought I'd pop up from Bristol to see that. Thankfully, I did notice soon enough that it was in Spain. Could have been one of my more embarrassing moments!

You know that famous old saying.

"When the wife's away, go to a closed stadium to watch nobody play"

It would have been funny if you were just down the road but not so much driving from Bristol.

We're going to win 5-0 and Northampton will say it was like playing a championship team.

Was going to go but after just returning from majorca I mentioned it to the missus and she looked like she was about to kick me out so thought best not to

Just back from Ibiza & Tenerife Safe to say my Mrs wasn’t having any of it either lol

Hope we see Bapaga. Now Ponti is off on loan we need another youth striker to overhype.

TEAM NEWS: Sky Blues face Northampton Town in Spain
CCFC Line Up: Marosi (GK), Dabo, Williams, McFadzean, Mason, Bayliss, Eccles, Shipley, Kastaneer, Hiwula, Bakayoko.

Subs: Wilson (GK), Pask, Hyam, Rose, Kelly, Allen, Westbrooke, Jobello, Chaplin, Biamou, Bapaga.

Interesting that Allen is on the bench still.

He's mixed it up a bit by separating the new wingers as well.

So I assume it will be:

---------------Marosi
Dabo Williams McFadzean Mason
----------------Eccles
------------Shipley Baylis
Kastaneer-----------------Hiwula
--------------Bakayoko

Wouldn't read too much into who is and isn't on the bench.

 

[Nick]

Wouldn't read too much into who is and isn't on the bench.

I know it's only a friendly but make the following changes:

Williams for Hyam
Kelly for Eccles
Shipley for Allen

I think that might be the first 11.

 

[mark82]

Think the formation is quite telling.

 

[mark82]

Who from the 23 man squad is missing?

 

[Winny the Bish]

Only 11 players on the bench? Who's missing?

 

[mark82]

Just read. McCallum got a knock.

 

[Garryb80]

McCallum

 

[Liquid Gold]

Looks like we're going 4-3-3 unless Bright comes in.

 

[usskyblue]

Never mind any of that ... I need a Bayliss posture update

 

[lifeskyblue]

Glad Eccles being given another chance. I thought he looked good v leamington. Mind you he was alongside Allen then.

Mccallum has picked up injury and not on bench by looks of it

If we don’t sign bright 4-3-3 ?

 

[ccfcway]

Shame we can’t sent the leamington cameramen to go and do a highlights package

 

[mark82]

Seems that way.

good news bout Allen. Would suggest the hamstring injury is only minor. No way they'd risk even putting him on the bench if it was anything more serious.

 

[Nick]

Ngandu isnt on the bench though?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

12 - SHOT: First effort of the game goes to Northampton. Joe Martin's effort from 20 yards out is deflected out for a corner, which is cleared by the #SkyBlues defence. #PUSB

 

[Nick]

Sounds boring so far
