Presume we will see our first team today over the whole 90.

 

---

[shmmeee]

Yep, expect it to be:

------------Burge
--Willis Webster Johnson
Clarke-----------------Pugh
---O'Brien Thomas Fleck
-------Tudgay--Miller

 

[Nick]

Hopefully another win and they get a good run out, will some of the good players from yesterday be warming the bench?

Wish I could have gone to this, but work prevails

------------Burge
--Willis Webster Johnson
Clarke-----------------Pugh
---O'Brien Thomas Fleck
-------Tudgay--Miller

Looks a decent team. Miller still needs to convince me though.

 

[skybluetony176]

You would hope so sw88.

 

[KersleyDigs]

I reckon 4-4-2 today

 

[Skybluenutterman]

Traffic was a nightmare going south on M1. Saw City team coach stuck in the middle of it all on way back from Luton airport. Hope match is not delayed!!

I still hold out hope that Maddison will break through Owen style. But it's more hope than expectation.

Something I noticed with that side is the flexibiity, it could be what I put, but that same team could easily line up as:

Burge
Clarke Willis Webster Johnson
O'Brien Fleck Thomas Pugh
Miller Tudgay

There's lots of flexibility in that lineup, O'Brien, Johnson, Pugh, Clarke can all play multiple positions.

With his skills I see a Messi style flip over and mazy 40y run, with a curler in top right corner, in front of the sky blue army, on his debut!

Followed the club coach in about 20 mins ago. Around 20 or so Cov in the club bar at the mo, I've no idea how many are expected.

I did nearly call him Messison but thought that was overegging it a bit

 

[skybluebeduff]

Who was the trialist in yesterdays game?

 

[shmmeee]

McLean?

[skybluebeduff]

You're probably right

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Burge
Kelly Evans (RWB)
Pugh (LWB)
Clarke
Willis
Johnson
O'Brien
Fleck
Thomas
Miller
Tudgay

 

[RoboCCFC90]

No Webster, Seaborne or Baker on the bench..

 

[shmmeee]

That's a bit of a curve ball, Kelly-Evans over Phillips. Wonder if there was a late injury to Webster.

 

[sw88]

No Webster, Seaborne or Baker on the bench..

Presume they're are injured, otherwise they'd have been starters today. Well Seabourbe on the bench atleast, with Pressley saying Reda will only do 60 again

 

[sw88]

That's a bit of a curve ball, Kelly-Evans over Phillips. Wonder if there was a late injury to Webster.

Phillips played last nights 90 though

Strange there's no Urquart again though, as you'd think he'd be next in line in the absence of the other two

 

[sw88]

Kelly Evans will look right odd alongside Johnson

 

[RoboCCFC90]

That's a bit of a curve ball, Kelly-Evans over Phillips. Wonder if there was a late injury to Webster.

It was yesterday that Pressley said that other than Coulibaly everyone was fine, Phillips played last night so I can understand that, no Seaborne or Webster is surprising though.

Devon Kelly-Evans has looked decent though so good luck to the lad.

 

[Porkchophill]

Dion Kelly-Evans has looked decent though so good luck to the lad.

Is there live radio coverage today or reports only

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Is there live radio coverage today or reports only

Bit confused about all this to be honest, BBC CWR have updates but no commentary, but I think SBP does have commentary, I don't know about the Football League App.

 

[skybluebeduff]

I'm Guessing I've Got The wrong Kelly Evans?

Ok thanks don't understand why the whole game not on CWR especially when you have to tune in and listen to lady in red just to find out the score

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Oh it gets worse when they start playing Backstreet Boys and Tina Turner..

 

[AndyM]

It's Devon today, not Dion. They're twins.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

It's Devon today, not Dion. They're twins.

Thanks Andy!

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

So have we kicked off?

 

[RoboCCFC90]

So have we kicked off?

Yes! Apparently there is a poor internet signal at the Broadfield Stadium so don't expect regular updates.

 

[sw88]

Yep. Few chances created so far. A chance for Stevenage a short while ago where their player best Kelly Evans for pace, runs at goal, Burge goes to ground and it looked as though their player was going to pass for a team mate to pass it into the net, but Burge kept his concentration and managed to smother the ball well.

Other than that, only a long range effort from Stevenage has come close

 

[sw88]

Fleck tries a long ranger after bringing the ball under control but hits a defender. Ball falls to Thomas who goes for a long ranger himself and goes narrowly wide

 

[sw88]

Scuffed chance from Tudgay goes wide

Slot of our play is going through OBrien, who's settled in well.

Kelly evens getting stuck in

Fleck taken out by one of theirs (on the ball challenge) but didn't even flinch, straight back on his feet! That's the Scottish in him I imagine! Although Reda did do something similar by beating one of their men to the ball earlier on too

 

[fernandopartridge]

Fleck tries a long ranger after bringing the ball under control but hits a defender. Ball falls to Thomas who goes for a long ranger himself and goes narrowly wide

That's a positive already. Thomas trying a shot. He's usually reluctant!

 

[RoboCCFC90]

I finally have my SBP Commentary working!!

Sounds like a typical game against Stevenage in fairness...
