Portugal 🇵🇹 (6 Viewers)

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

How on earth do they manage to play in a stadium with 20,000 watching them each week then?

Think this line of reasoning is pathetic.

Because they're not learning the positioning and tactics during a game. That's what they do in training and pre-season camps so that it's almost second nature by the time they get to games with crowds.

This could be cancelled.

Banking on the Vic money were we?

 

[SkyblueDad]

This could be cancelled.

Good

I assume not enough players to warrant the cost.

 

[GIMOC]

Good

Why good?

 

[David O'Day]

This could be cancelled.

hahahahahahaha

This could be cancelled.

At this rate we won’t have enough players to make it worthwhile.

 

[lordy_87]

Nothing ever goes smoothly with cov does it

 

[GIMOC]

to give some laughing a bit of perspective.
Many of the u21’s currently with the first team. the young lads are preparing for a friendly with leamington this Saturday so are not going Portugal.

that leaves 14-16 players for Portugal. club currently discussing whether the tour is feasible.

 

[Sick Boy]

Hasn’t Robins previously highlighted the importance of these tours? I can’t imagine he’s all that happy with the lack of incoming players.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Pathetic really, Robins must be pissed off. He and the players have talked about the value the previous trips have given them from a training and team bonding perspective.

Just get all those fans anxious to go over there to join in the sessions to bulk it out. Everyone's a winner.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Don’t see this being cancelled. It’s all paid for.
Flights, accommodation, using the sporting facilities etc.

as I’ve said, talks behind the scenes about cancelling. I know you have contacts. Ask about

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

The “many” U/21s training with the first team numbers 2.

Which ones?

 

[SkyblueDad]

I’ll never give names but actually my mistake they were U/18s

 

[djr8369]

What?

 

[alexccfc99]

Hull playing Galatasaray in Istanbul in a friendly tonight and a few hundreds of their lot have flocked over, don’t tell Robins

 

[GIMOC]

players still flying over but no match scheduled now. using it purely for a training camp.

Presumably no incomings whilst they are over there then

 

[Matt smith]

Surely a signing tomorrow or Friday

would guess any already complete or close to completion will still be confirmed. My concern is lack of match practice. with no game now until the 15th. Only gives us 3 weeks before Leicester for the players to gain match fitness. other teams started theirs already

Are they not doing a game against Leam or something this weekend like they usually do? They seem to kick off against a local non league side around this time of year

then again with Leam relegated to the league below the conference north is there much point sending a side there to play them

gone quiet which I’m happy about to be honest.

Leam game is just U21s. 1st team will have already flown to Portugal by then.

Why are you happy about that?

 

[GIMOC]

Why are you happy about that?

because hopefully it means they want things to be done on the hush without anyone knowing

 

[Greggs]

Don't encourage him please, it's getting nauseating now. Surely he must realise it himself?!

 

[Greggs]

Why are you happy about that?

The voices in his head have stopped.

leam this Saturday for the youth players. first team won’t have played a game until the 15th. That’s 3 weeks before the season starts. a lot of teams have started to get minutes on the pitch already
