Otis, stop being so negative

 

[shmmeee]

5-3-2? Or Johnson at LB?

 

[larry_david]

Glad read is playing starting to worry he wouldn't play before the start of the season

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

That's definitely a 5-3-2 by the looks of things. Willis and Pugh as wing backs with Reda, Webster and Clarke in the middle.

 

[sw88]

Oggy hasn't travelled with the team today. One for the conspiracy theorists

 

[sw88]

Barton is here though and in the squad.

Jeffers playing for Newport (bit of a come down??)

 

[sw88]

Reda Johnson is fookin massive!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

 

[ccfcway]

Daniels for Fleck aside, that's our first 11

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Daniels for Fleck aside, that's our first 11

...or Fleck's off next

 

[Nick]

Shit they have Yakubu!!!!

 

[FRY-CCFC]

Daniels for Fleck aside, that's our first 11

Nope.

Our XI will be:

Allsop

Willis Webster Johnson Pugh

O'Brien Thomas Fleck Swanson

Miller Tudgay

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

...or Fleck's off next

Fleck off

 

[sw88]

Clarke currently doing stretches with the woman physio between his legs. Not sure if he's pulled a muscle or trying to pull her (or just like her helping him stretch )

 

[sw88]

Shit they have Yakubu!!!!

Ishmail! Used to play for Burton I believe (sure I remember him from football manager )

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Steven Pressley will start the first half with a 3-2-1-2-2 formation that sees Jordan Willis and Danny Pugh as wing-backs and Conor Thomas sitting in front of three centre-halves.

We're a couple of foreign signings away from being a hipster club

How many City fans have turned up? - or Newport fans for that matter!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Zebrowski curls a shot high and wide as Newport attack from the kick-off but the first City thrust sees Miller fire wide after Willis' surging run down the right. It's a very open game in the early minutes with both sides looking for diagonal switches.

 

[sw88]

End to end stuff so far. Burton putting in some good crosses. Willis getting forward well and Miller very much involved

If I didn't have an iphone I would. Do you know how shit the batteries are?

How many City fans have turned up? - or Newport fans for that matter!

Small number of City fans, but fair attendance overall

 

[shmmeee]

Surprised at Willis over O'Brien or even Phillips at RWB to be honest.

Cheers - just seen a CJ tweet and pic, so he's there too.

 

[sw88]

Reda almost reaches on the end of a corner, doesn't quite connect, falls to Webster instead, shot blocked

 

[sw88]

Surprised at Willis over O'Brien or even Phillips at RWB to be honest.

Trial and error I think, can't see us committing to wing backs in the league. Not when Newport are causing us problems when 3 at the back.

 

[sw88]

Swanson not as involved in the position of playing behind the front two today

 

[skybluenewman]

goal newport

 

[sw88]

1-0 down. Hopeful ball into the box, knocked back a cross the goal and headed in by Yakubu (he said it was for you Nick )
