Shame about Palmer and having to have 4 forwards on the bench. Assume Saka won’t last 90 mins. Shows we really do need a few players in to add depth still.

Why won’t Saka last 90 mins?

Cheap batteries.

 

[PVA]

Looking forward to seeing Sakamoto and Wright from the start.

I fancy us to win this.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Bench very very lacking...

Five players who could easily have started this game. You can only bring five on so I don't see the problem.

 

[mark82]

Palmer’s already been a poor signing for us and is in danger of becoming a terrible one.

Poor is harsh. Certainly needs to improve his fitness though.

Their team looks decent though to be fair

It's three no?

Best way to watch the game from home today? Can only see audio options on iFollow.

Firestick/IPTV with a provider that has iFollow on it, then you're sorted for all games.

 

[fatso]

Strong upfront, but Wright should cause their defence plenty of problems.

 

[CV3SkyBlue]

Encouraging that Tats and Wright start, we need that creative energy, was honestly dreading Kelly potentially starting.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Yeah that's my guess, Sheaf, Eccles and Kelly in midfield. Mark Robins will go with what he knows.

Okay what do I know, but it's nice to see Mark Robins being positive.

Hasn’t played a huge amount yet. Hopefully he does though.

 

[SBT]

Poor is fair considering he was one of our highest earners last season, and contributed very little.

 

[procdoc]

Hasn’t played a huge amount yet. Hopefully he does though.

But he’s played in every pre-season game and featured in every game this season . He should easily be up to speed

 

[SkyBlueGuy]

Hope this ain't true. I've got season ticket ifollow so can't just jump to new account.

It's working just fine for me

Will Van Ewick last 90?...seems we are short at RWB too. Especially as Saka playing behind front 2 it seems.

 

[procdoc]

He wasn’t poor at all. He contributed to us finishing 5th especially when O’Hare got injured. Could he contribute more? Absolutely but calling him poor is a terrible take

 

[Greggs]

First goal, clean sheet, punch a sheep afterwards. Come on City.

 

[Grendel]

He wasn’t poor at all. He contributed to us finishing 5th especially when O’Hare got injured. Could he contribute more? Absolutely but calling him poor is a terrible take

Its in relation to the fact he’s a big earner

 

[Johhny Blue]

Bench very very lacking...

At least Kai is there

 

[fatso]

Palmer being unavailable could do us a favour today, Sakamoto has the ability to run at pace and carry the ball, which Palmer lacks, and that could be a bonus away from home where we may be pushed back for long periods, his quick trickery could also win us free kicks around the box.

 

[Calista]

Sakamoto behind Wright and Godden with sakamoto drifting right and Wright coming in off the left I could see

You mean Wright right on the left, with Sakamoto left on the right?

 

[procdoc]

Its in relation to the fact he’s a big earner

So were Kane, Walker and Waghorn, he contributed much more than them. He’s a scapegoat when there’s no need. He will never win over some people

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Apparently, both MVE and DaSilva are wearing 27. Could cause officiating issues, perhaps.

I fancy us today, a 0-1 perhaps, to break the Swansea hoodoo and give us a bit of steam. ⚽️

 

[SBT]

He wasn’t poor at all. He contributed to us finishing 5th especially when O’Hare got injured. Could he contribute more? Absolutely but calling him poor is a terrible take

He started fewer than half our league games and scored three times, two of those being consolation goals in defeats.

 

[Boicey]

Happy with that team sheet. MR maybe taking a bit more risk, really hope it pays off. Big chance for Saka in particular.
We do seem to have a lot of injuries and our players aren't the fittest, that needs looking at.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

We all know,it will be a flat 3. Safety first.

So what do I know.

 

[procdoc]

He started fewer than half our league games and scored three times, two of those being consolation goals in defeats.

He wasn’t poor though. He still performed well in some games but you’ll never change your mind as you had it in for him from the second he signed. Clueless

 

[shmmeee]

What’s his wage?

 

[Johhny Blue]

First goal, clean sheet, punch a sheep afterwards. Come on City.

If you’re in Swansea I’d worry about a clean sheep

 

[Grendel]

So were Kane, Walker and Waghorn, he contributed much more than them. He’s a scapegoat when there’s no need. He will never win over some people

And conversely others see no faults and use terms like world class

I

Yeah that was another concern of mine. If MVE goes off maybe Kelly comes on and Eccles drops to RWB again.

 

[djr8369]

But he’s played in every pre-season game and featured in every game this season . He should easily be up to speed

Preseason isn’t the same as competitive matches though is it. Hopefully you’re right though, a player has to do 90 mins for the first time at some point.

 

[procdoc]

And conversely others see no faults and use terms like world class

That’s a fair comment. I just think he’s a good player that has that ability to make things happen but he needs to do it more often. Some right over the top reactions at both ends of the spectrum, I agree

 

[procdoc]

Preseason isn’t the same as competitive matches though is it. Hopefully you’re right though, a player has to do 90 mins for the first time at some point.

Didn’t he play the full 90 at Wimbledon?
