You honestly think Doug and Mark aren't aware of this ?

All signs pointing towards a ST signing at some point before this window closes - as per the update from the Bulgarian journalist regarding Ntelo.

We’re actively looking to bring players in, that’s obvious. Expecting untested youngsters to fill the squad depth is just not acceptable and unfair on their own development.

Totally agree but I feel the rest of this summer's signings will be signed with a view to improving them to replace the better players when they move on/get sold . Players like Ntelo, Camara

If we are serious about promotion trusting the goals to a young untested striker is absolutely unfair

And unrealistic

Is Simms injured?

He drove past me on Earlsdon high street an hour ago. Used his indicators and everything!

 

[skybluecam]

Have we heard anything at all about the condition of Wright, Sheaf, Torp, Rapha and potentially Simms?

Jamie Allen on for Eccles 58mins

[Old Warwickshire lad]

It really is weird . Kitching went from being a top defender to league 1 standard after a few mistakes
Collins was another , played really well during our great run but tailed off badly and confidence dropped
Both totally written off on here by some

Collins never played really well, we got away with murder at the back during our good run.
Collins was always scared of his own shadow.

 

[fatso]

I just screenshotted Fatsos post and whatsapped Doug

Good lad

 

[stupot07]

Best chance so far - Obikwu and Mason-Clark link well through the middle, Ephron is released but the keeper saves smartly from close range.

0-0 [62’]

Fuckin hell, how fat are you if he had to indicate to get round you?

 

[ccfcchris]

Stats on Bet365 suggesting we're the slightly better side.

Of course

Nurnberger breaks on left, puts in a dangerous cross but Dovin gets down well to cut it out.

0-0 [65’]

 

[stupot07]

Joel catches his man on half way and he becomes the second City man booked today.

0-0 [68’]

Yes we are light up front and we desperately need more cover, but this is a great chance for Ubikwu to show MR how far he's come, and for MR to decide to keep him here or loan him out.

Nurnberger breaks on left, puts in a dangerous cross but Dovin gets down well to cut it out.

0-0 [65’]

That's it then, he's deffo our first choice now.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Lati booked for winning too many headers and generally showing off.

Right thread

 

[chiefdave]

Why is there an assumption that every play not playing has a serious, months long, injury? Isn't it more likely that at this point its just been decided they aren't weren't the risk and to let them fully recover from whatever niggles they have?

Yeah, but that doesn't get clicks and likes.

 

[long way home]

1 down..

 

[steve101]

Wilson on ahead of Collins

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Loadsa subs. Only Obikwu left of starting 11 for last 20 mins.

 

[steve101]

2 minutes after Lati comes off and they scored!

 

[Nick]

Wilson on and they scored?

 

[Marty]

Hows Dovin looking, had much to do?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

1 down..

Immediately after all the changes!

Months long injuries? Oh, that's OK then, I was checking for funeral notices in the papers

 

[skybluecam]

Wilson on - we concede.

To be fair the team we have out now is pretty ropey.

 

[The watchmaker]

We are trusting Simms, Wright and EMC to get us the goals - that is why we paid the big bucks. If you want a tested striker Tavares is likely as close as we are getting. Ntelo - if the team decide to bring him in, great, but he is the same age and has a total of 20 career goals mostly in the 2nd/3rd tier of Dutch/Belgian football. Scored 5 goals in the Bulgarian league last season. Could be good - but untested.

Who cares? It's only a friendly ffs
