Strong L1 vibes from that line up.

Only one change from the BC line up though and that's a game where we competed and could have won, so who knows, but fearing a long afternoon tbh.

That midfield

 

[SheafIsGod]

Allen and Eccles. Give me strength please God

 

[Great_Expectations]

Midfield is definitely lacking. Wouldn’t be as bad if it was just one of Allen or Eccles, but both could essentially mean a one man midfield. Equally maybe Eccles shows he’s a footballer today and him and Sheaf can use the ball well.

Regardless Allen at 10 negates any creativity, coupled with an anonymous Godden isn’t inspiring confidence.

Draw would be a good result.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Would take a point today.

Win would be huge though. Going to be a good match.

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

I would happily take a draw, but part of me hopes that Cardiff don’t turn up, and we sneak a 1-0 off someone’s left bumcheek.

PUSB!! ⚽️

No idea why Palmer keeps getting omitted after playing well.

No idea why Palmer keeps getting omitted after playing well.

First 15 of the 2nd half v Burnley is probably why.

Big game for Eccles. Hope he can step up.

I keep thinking I'll be happy with a draw in these away games but we're going down unless we start winning them.

He doesn't trust him when we havent got the ball. He played ok last week, did well when he got on the ball, but was often stood far too high leaving Sheaf and Allen to cover the whole of the midfield which is partly why they had so much possession and dominated first half.

Personally I would have played him, and gone with the box.

Need a performance from Godden today really.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

At first glance that midfield looks devoid of creativity and weak as piss. But, prior to this season, Eccles looked a real prospect whenever he played so

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Absolutely. He’s clearly due a goal. Have backed him and a City win.

As good a chance as anyone best of luck

Today is the first game of the season I haven’t backed this. So it’s nailed on

That's a pretty good call at that price. Think I'll have some too.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Allen is due his one goal a season so I’m hoping that’s today. Really want Eccles to show us what he’s about today

 

[chiefdave]

The team doesn't look that strong, particularly in midfield, but at the same time there's no really much you could argue should be changed with the players available, Palmer in for Eccles being the only obvious one. Just highlights the lack of depth in the squad.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Whatever happens surely we can't play worse than we did here last season.

 

[Sick Boy]

Fucking hell.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Strange unless not fully fit. Would’ve been tempted to play Palmer and Vik up on his own

 

[MalcSB]

What a miss

 

[chiefdave]

Pretty much handed us a goal start and we've messed it up

 

[ccfc922]

What the fuck was that?

 

[mark82]

Miss of the season. That's what's costing us.

 

[shmmeee]

Wtf Vik!

[Evo1883]

Unreal miss , one of the worst I've seen for ages

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Not sure what the hell he was trying to do there. Surely laces through it.

 

[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

One of the easiest chances he will get this season, absolute shocker of a miss that may come back to bite us!

 

[stupot07]

One of the worst misses ever. How has he missed the target??? All he needs to do, is aim and pass it to the gap.

Place it in ? Was that easy

 

[CovLis86]

I love him, but who would pay 10million for that. Easy open goal. We can't afford to not take gifts.

 

[Tommo1993]

Missing chances like that. Bottom by merit.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Well, you know how this game's going to go after that.
