Despite the Hamer news I’m really excited for tomorrow.
It has to be Sheaf and Eccles in the middle with MVE RWB, but it won’t be. I know MVE looks a fair way off as it stands, but tomorrow against a weaker Boro team might be the game to give him a go. We need as many creative outlets as we can .
I think he’ll start Godden too, but I’d like to see him go for it and start Wright and Simms.
A win tomorrow is vital for momentum and to release some of the inevitable negativity re the last two games and the sale of Hamer.
2-0 to reignite the feel good factor.

Not there. I found this out the other week and it was on my todo list to query but I don’t go away so didn’t prioritise it.

Will be interesting to see what the atmosphere is like tomorrow. Has potential to get a bit toxic if things don’t go well.

Especially with the ticketing fiasco and the new bag/entry restrictions.....

Eccles is developing well but does not have the tools to step up and replace Gus!
Spot on, we did well last season but gave the ball away too much, I think we get to see the best of wright tomorrow/ today, he’s gonna be quality for us

Anyone turning on the team at this early stage is a fucking wanker, simple as that.

Well we couldn't win with him at the start of last season and he didn't feature in our first 3 wins so I think we'll manage.

Sad thing is, unless we score early it’s guaranteed to happen.
Unfortunately I expect Simms to get some stick the first mistake he makes and absolutely bizarrely there’s some absolute tosser near me who like to moan about Sheaf constantly - I imagine he’s the sort who enjoys 4-4-2 and is wowed by players hitting a Hollywood ball regardless of how many previous failed attempts or step overs that go nowhere.

Re the box, it certainly suits us and I’m a fan, but it means leaving one of our two big money signings, and hope game changers, on the bench.
The Wright / Simms combination will be dangerous.

If MVE is going to be the player we want him to be then we need to play him, even if he isn't 100% ready right now. It'll take a lot longer for him to grow into his role by leaving him out of the team rather than playing him.

Fuck off, we're just off the back of our best season for years.
Drop one in thecanal pre match and you'll be right on it come kick off time.

Never easy being a city fan but if the money from vik was a chance for us to secure the next few years then the money from Hamer similarly so
I wouldn’t want to limit the work that mark and adi are able to do but I do think top 10 would be a massive achievement this year

Robins has adapted our style of play every season when faced with adversity. He will do the same now, we have a substantial strike force and some very creative attacking midfielders, so we will just go about things a different way. It may take time to gel, but we are well placed to perform just as well this season. Remember at one point last spring we were without Sheaf, O’Hare, Palmer, Godden was coming back to fitness and we literally only had Hamer and Vik to drag us through. But we have more depth this time round.
