[FRY-CCFC]

Exactly, Armstrong's and Jones or manset?

Pressley's signings at the same time in 2014/15:

Danny Swanson
Jim O'Brien
Reda Johnson
Shaun Miller
Danny Pugh
Ryan Allsop
Mohammed Coulibaly

Andy Thorn's signings at the same time in 2012/13:

Stephen Elliott
John Fleck
Kevin Malaga
William Edjenguele
Kevin Kilbane
Callum Ball
Reece Brown

I'd rather our manager took his time getting the right players in rather than rushing people in through the door.

[Nick]

2 out of how many played loads?

 

[Nick]

TEAM: McGovern; Whittaker, Bennett, Bassong, Olsson; Howson (c), Dorrans; Canos, Hoolahan, Odjidja; Lafferty.


Real test for our defence...

 

[FRY-CCFC]

Very strong side that. Be a good test.

 

[Nick]

Murphy's brother is decent too isn't he? I slated Murphy but put him against Haynes he will have a good day.

Just out of interest, how many players did we have in the squad already at the same time of year?

I agree we should sign the right players, but we need more of them, and fairly quickly.

CT

City’s team news is now due.

We’ve been seeing a lot of kids involved in pre-season so far but surely Mowbray will try to play his strongest possible team.

Will know imminently.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Yes if he was playing for us, now you have done that you have ensured he is has a stormer!

We need a bruiser to smash him and tell him he is shit.

Erm, sorry to tell you this Nick, but Fleck and Vincelot aren't with us anymore. Martin's gone, and Reda's piss is the wrong colour.

Also, Gray's gone. So we don't really have anyone that can exercise that dominance on Maddison.

Martin was hardly a bruiser in fairness, Johnson never really had intent more clumsy.

Fleck didn't do much on that way.

Vincelot first half of last season was a beast, second half wasn't the same.

We need a Doyle type for players like that, just kick them and wind them up.

Should have let hunt play after their beef.

Lameries had the most grit getting stuck in sometimes, but he's his best mate so won't boot him

 

[idm1975]

Been stuck getting into a sodding car park for 40mins now, soomeone please tell me i can get a beer in the ground!

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Martin was hardly a bruiser in fairness.

In comparison to Harries he's like Iron Man.

 

[Nick]

In comparison to Harries he's like Iron Man.

In fairness, he did absolutely smash harewood.

 

[FRY-CCFC]

I agree we should sign the right players, but we need more of them, and fairly quickly.

Under Pressley we lost Joe Murphy, Moussa, Wilson, Adams, Christie and Mark Marshall.

Under Thorn we lost Platt, McPake, Clingan, Cranie, Eastwood, Bigi, Keogh, Deegan

Sordell just needs to replicate his tackle from Saturday, that would slow him down...

 

[wingy]

Under Pressley we lost Joe Murphy, Moussa, Wilson, Adams, Christie and Mark Marshall.

Under Thorn we lost Platt, McPake, Clingan, Cranie, Eastwood, Bigi, Keogh, Deegan

Those aren't entirely exhaustive lists are they

We've lost around 10-12 players a season for the last 4-5 seasons

 

[honestken]

CCFC Team: Charles-Cook (GK), Willis, Harries, Leahy, Gadzhev, Rose, Haynes, Di.Kelly-Evans, Sordell, Spence, Thomas

Subs: Scuza (GK), Dev. Kelly-Evans, Stevenson, Maycock, Shipley, Whitmore, Hickman, Thompson

 

[Nick]

No Jones or lameries?

Can see that defence getting torn up

No tudgay or ricketts?

 

[Seamus1]

No trialists either

 

[sw88]

Anyway, I think later on I'll set sw 88s profile as commentator on the left

I'm here! Just queuing for a ticket. Sell out they reckon

No idea why cant just pay on the gate. Especially since I'm dying for a pee!!

 

[coop]

A tanking is what TM said and he isn't going to be wrong.

 

[honestken]

must all be injured! No Burge either for last 3 friendlies now......Stokes still not played neither has Kwame Thomas.......so that's 7 potential first team players down 2 of which have played 0 minutes so far in pre season.

 

[stupot07]

Stop panicking probably saving some of them (ie ricketts and Tudguy) for Friday where i imagine all fit hell play his strongest 11 against Doncaster

Norwich turned down a £300k bid from Reading earlier for Jacob Murphy.

 

[tisza]

it'll be good to see what the kids are made of against good experienced opposition. even a tanking would help Mowbray learn more about what is needed and where.

 

[Nick]

No triakist either

Why can't mccan play friendlies?

 

[steve82]

Still no Lee burge involved? Wonder why he's still not involved from the bench? Is he injured?

 

[sw88]

Still no Burge. I'm getting worried we've sold him

 

[skyblueelephant76]

No triakist either

Fabien Robert is on the bench again.

 

[steve82]

No triakist either

Trialist is named on the bench.

 

[Jayno]

I would be playing Stevenson instead of Vlad. More flair and more bite

 

[steve82]

Still no Burge. I'm getting worried we've sold him

Hoping the same. He's vanished...
Lost..... Last seen leaving butlin road (rugby town) driving a merc.

 

[Nick]

Trialist is named on the bench.

Ah I was going off the list honestken posted, it's either my eyes or he's not on there

 

[robbiekeane]

Cause he's dog shit

 

[ccfcway]

No triakist either

threat of injury probabily
