You’d prefer a CB playing RB in a team lacking attacking creativity?

Bty the sounds of it MR views him as more a RB.

Weak team that

Shipley goal, Coventry win.

I’m confident of a victory today.

Westbrooke isn’t Bayliss, but he’s more than capable of picking a pass and is creative in that sense. I was impressed with the snippets we saw of him last year. Shipley looks a lot better player in the middle, his passing can be frustrating at times, but I’ve always thought he looks good technically and is easily good enough for L1. The midfield isn’t as strong as it would be with Bayliss and Allen, but it isn’t as weak as is being made out either.

Increasing frustrated by the negativity on here.

Unfortunately I’m on my way to hospital for an emergency scan and monitor of our baby, so I’m missing the game today. I’ll be reliant on here for updates throughout. Puts the negativity into perspective too.

Win please, any kind of win, we need a cheer up.

 

[CanadianCCFC]

I’ve got the perfect thing to post on here when we go 1-0 up.

Small Heath is a charming place.

Looks poor that starting line up, in for a long season. 1-0 loss, 0 shots on target.

 

[higgs]

What's the pitch looking like?

Poor starting line up, and only Biamou as a recognised first team forward line.

We cant afford any more injuries to the midfield or forward line.

I'm going for reverse psychology here, They're all shit and want replacing, BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[Richkeogh3]

Crikey, how do you end up with Queues when you have around 5k turning up to a 29k stadium?

 

[RegTheDonk]

Big queue inside for a pint so looking positive lol

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Well this isn’t depressing at all

How full is the one stand

Don’t open all the stands. Unnecessary costs.

Too right, quite strange when we can all guess the team before 2pm on the first day of the season.

 

[CanadianCCFC]

I hope the iFollow camera isn’t in the full stand. I don’t want to see 100% empty seats all season.

 

[Richkeogh3]

Yes the usual under staffing to cut costs I suppose (quite apt)

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Joking aside I’m actually pretty excited, feeling the new season buzz. Not ideal surroundings but football is back and that’s what’s important!

Not very atm but still 25 mins still KO

Thoughts with you. Hope all is well. As you say... perspective

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Something of an away buzz around the ground and in the bars. Queues aside I do hope we are crammed in and an atmosphere might get going. Asked the bouncer in the pub and he said that 50% of staff are Cov employees. So not all out of a job at least! PUSB.

Were all still in the pub!!!
