[Brighton Sky Blue]

No. Robins said we weren’t ready and our squad was too small.

That doesn’t really inspire confidence!

 

[shmmeee]

That doesn’t really inspire confidence!

Maybe a little nudge at the owners. Maybe Robins being his usual grumpy self. Got the impression that a couple were behind where he’d hoped fitness wise and he didn’t want to risk any further injuries with our small squad. Which is fair.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Vancouver? Dreamy

I’ll be in the Hamptons for this one - hot tub and beers all day cov then England game, can’t wait

Vancouver Island. Usually get back most years but haven’t travelled since Covid. Maybe it’s time to dust the cobwebs off the suitcase.

 

[Johhny Blue]

McFadz is both suspended and injured, isnt he?

Are we expecting Dabo back in the squad yet?

Kane? Didnt see him in Spain.

The Kane in Spain stayed mainly on the plane

 

[shmmeee]

Right never mind the bollocks real football is back.

Slight nerves about us after a break but going to go positive and say we’ll smash them 1-0. Vik to score.

Depending on fitness I’d go:

Wilson
Rose Doyle Panzo
Dabo Hamer Sheaf Bidwell
O’Hare Allen
Vik

S: Moore, Kane, Eccles, Burroughs, Kelly, Waghorn, Tavares/Walker

Got a bad feeling this break isn't going to have benefitted us.

 

[shmmeee]

No bad feelings allowed. We’re going to win and Doug King will come out after with a 250 year lease for the CBS and a 250 contract for Vik and a 250 year agreement with Hummel and everyone’s shop back orders in a big sack already wrapped. And then Kevin Maton will slip on some dog poo and land in the dog poo.

The win 'll do.

Bed wetter

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Hopefully the break hasn’t ruined our momentum.

We've lost our match fitness.

 

[pusbccfc]

Where is everyone drinking?

 

[SkyblueDad]

All games tough in this division obviously would love to carry on our winning ways but not losing would do me.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Need to play a high line against these. No Fadz. and them having Andy Carroll is a recipe for problems if we sit deep. We have the players with the energy to play a high press. Get in their faces and give it a go.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

True City fan. I see danger around every corner whoever we're playing. Wrexham will have Brazil like status by the time I've finished reading up on them.

 

[robbiekeane]

Bloody hell you're getting around
Weren't you in holidaying some exotic location a week back?
Globetrotter!;

Indeed, going the (very) long way back home from Melbourne thought I’d break it up a bit! Making the most of it

Freezing in New York

 

[Matt smith]

Where is everyone drinking?

The train

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

The train

Mine's a mojito.

Saturday big day in our football world, 2 games two wins utopia, one win one draw iffy, one win one defeat I won’t ask which is the most important, 2 defeats a brandy and an early night.

 

[larry_david]

Are we the only club in the world that gets 4 weeks off and goes on a fitness week and 3 of our players get injured from it? Honestly it's laughable.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Who's got injured? Been far too focussed on the World Cup.

Just a CCFC win will do nicely for me!

Sack the physio.

 

[shmmeee]

Fadz out for a few weeks with calf strain

Palmer still carrying knee injury that apparently he’s been carrying for a while.

Walker I think new knee injury.

 

[SBT]

McFadzean being forced onto crutches by a game of head tennis pretty much sums up our fortunes at the moment.

 

[Matt smith]

Palmer should be on the bench hopefully

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Been watching a few minutes of Gillingham v Dagenham. Reminded me, if I needed it, that an extra layer or two needs to be worn on Saturday ! BBrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yer, Watched Coleshill last week and I nearly lost a foot.

Reading in a worse / as bad a state as us re: injuries?

Latest from frustrated Reading boss as injuries continue to mount after break

Injuries continue to frustrate Reading boss Paul Ince as up to six players will remain unavailable for the visit of Coventry City.

Confident for this one 3-2 away win in a sky blue wonderland.
England 3-2 win 840/1 £10 double
We’re on our way

Apart from fads I don’t think we’re too bad

 

[PVA]

Fadz will be a big miss, but think we've got enough to beat them.

Feels so weird having a game in the middle of a World Cup

 

[Nuskyblue]

Properly weird. Doesn't even feels like were in the season if you know what I mean

 

[no_loyalty]

Robins will win November manager of the month, so I expect a draw or loss.

It is. TBF I expected England to be out by now.
