Mansfield Tuesday/Norwich Wednesday this week,

Given Cov-id and with Norwich and Mansfield likely to field a first (ish) team, what type of sides do we intend to put out for both games?

Will it be a case of 2 mixed teams to try and give a game to the opponents. I know some of our fans are going to Mansfield with the Norwich game being BCD, so it will be a bit rich if we play a load of U23s (although I wouldn't blame us) As for the team against Norwich, will it be our strongest side? I'd be tempted to play the kids against them and a stronger side against Mansfield, although that will probably p*ss Norwich off. Thoughts.

I’m slightly surprised we’re still going ahead with both games

Think rocky will feature v Norwich his parent club.

Fingers crossed we manage to score a goal

The more games the better. They need minutes and we need to find some cohesion and rhythm

I imagine it will be 2 Xi's getting the full 90 with 2/3 subs at each (kids) to cover for injuries and those that aren't fit enough. We will probably just about have that as I imagine we will have a some of the covid lot back this week, plus bright & godden are potentially going to be involved.

Be great to have some of the isolation gang back.

Which do we think is more likely,
Keeping a clean sheet, or scoring a goal ?

If we put on in our own net does that count?

Well if it does, then we've kept plenty of clean sheets at the other end

Was going tonight but not 100% sure now, not sure I want to drive 2hrs to potentially watch (no disrespect to them) an U18s/21s side if we were to rest everyone ready for tomorrow.

Deity · Jul 27, 2021

Is the match being streamed any where ?

That's why I'd sooner put out a stronger side tonight - will have more of the ball and will be able to gain that cohesion. Tomorrow we will be potentially chasing shadows if they go full strength. Billy Gilmour, Cantwell, Pukki, Aarons etc. Good fitness workout, but potentially morale destroying.

Edit: do we know if Bright has agreed to turn out for any of these games, or is he picking and choosing which he fancies?

What makes you think that? is it confirmed anywhere as I'd rather give it a swerve too - currently not the ticket cost but fuel, food and need to leave work early. I'd rather save that if it isn't first team.

It might be the covid squad tonight as they try and get some fitness.
They will play in masks, carry hand sanitizer, and cough up every 10 seconds.
And practice socially distancing at set pieces.

Skyblue_CP · Jul 27, 2021

I don't, it's just the fact we have another match tomorrow vs Norwich, so something has to give.

larry_david · Jul 27, 2021

Cet just put out an article on how to stream the Mansfield match. Which is loads of shite guff we all know with a sentence saying, this match is not available to stream.

Christ

Think Mansfield game will be similar to last Saturday will be just how Robins shuffles the pack, personally would like to see Bright get at least half a game and Bushiri playing alongside our regular defenders.

They've been doing that last one for ages anyway.

It's being played at Chesterfield?

SleepyGinger · Jul 27, 2021

Heard we are fielding a weaker team tonight and stronger tomorrow.
