I love it when the players read SBT at half time!

Lucky deflection but who gives a fuck. We'll take it.

[Jamesimus]

Another assist for all fart and no poo palmer

That nickname will not catch on.

 

[wingy]

Lucky fucker haha

Got to be in it to win the lottery!!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Robins being really unfair and not giving EMC a chance on the left

 

[mark82]

He should've done better there.

 

[Hobo]

Good ball from Palmer, shot on target from Asante...ok some luck with deflection but you do make your own luck.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Hopefully see more space now we've gone in front

 

[Johhny Blue]

Unable to watch the match due to lack of coverage. Hope we are doing ok.

it's on ifollow (audio)

He played there a lot for Petebrough

 

[Evo1883]

Bassette pulls players across and the space for asante was huge , good counter

 

[ptr]

Serious question, does Lati change his hairstyle depending on what position he plays?

 

[wingy]

Just hesitated or took a bobble!

Didn’t he have his hair like this at centre back in the last game? Both him and Wright did.

 

[covcity4life]

Emc on left now. Good

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

I think Asanta Thomas should play for Real Madrid, there you go Sir Ernie corrected it for you.
Look at the likes I’ll get from them.

Can’t keep up with it tbf.

 

[shmmeee]

Hope Bassette is off so he can start on Saturday

 

[Jamesimus]

I like BTA, he’s a bit scruffy but seems a hell of an athlete and makes stuff happen through sheer effort.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Boring… Robins taking Bassette off

 

[Mr Panda]

Good outing for Bassette. Happy to see EMC in his natural left position. Looks okay on the right but stunted

 

[Evo1883]

Hope Bassette is off so he can start on Saturday

Very good tonight

I’m liking the Richard Shaw homage.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Did Simon Mann really just call MVE "Van Ewag"?

 

[mark82]

Surprised he's taken Bassette off. Maybe building fitness.

That’s all it will be. Let’s not kill him just yet.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Basette’s movement is good, he also loves a moan be it to the officials or teammates. Confident chap.

Atmosphere is dead, but if you aren’t here you can’t exactly moan about it.

This was early one and it’s even more noticeable; he loves a moan.

Good to see in some senses, but equally can grate as a teammate, especially from a new player who isn’t necessarily a starter.

Sure it won’t be seen that way. And good to see the commitment and confidence early one.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Surprised he's taken Bassette off. Maybe building fitness.

Don't think he had much of a preseason after going on strike at his old club.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Surprised he's taken Bassette off. Maybe building fitness.

It'll be another pre-cooked substitution unfortunately. Would like to see him Saturday based on what we've seen today though.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It'll be another pre-cooked substitution unfortunately. Would like to see him Saturday based on what we've seen today though.

Norwich in the league will be a step up from Oxford in a glorified friendly, but it’s a very positive debut anyway.

 

[Nick]

That's a pen

 

[Evo1883]

11,808 more than I thought tbh

 

[Cov98]

Ref is an absolute ape

 

[Evo1883]

Btw that's a penalty

 

[Jamesimus]

Yep, that was a pen.

 

[covcity4life]

Contact but emc fell into him. No pen is right imo
