Not really about player's you'll recognise as "any good".

They finished 9th in the Bundesliga, whereas Darmstadt who beat us 2-0 finished rock bottom.

Mark Robins said in a interview after the Everton game, "After getting to the Airport for the Darmstadt Game at 4.30am, then a 2 hour Flight, then a quick training session and then Playing the Game at 1.30pm
The Players were Fatigued and went on to say, He Will Never Do That Again"

Wilson. I expect Collins to leave on loan tbf

Maybe, although Collins is on a longer contract and Wilson has less than a year left if I remember correctly. Might be easier/cheaper to off load Wilson (purely from a financial point)

I have a really weird feeling Wilson will get a 1-year extension based off absolutely nothing

Sheff Wed are they Better than us.

Who said they were?

No one, just asking.

Frits anyone ?

What happened to retirement?!

Since retiring he’s never been so busy!

Be interesting to see who MR chooses as the second half keeper. I'm presuming Dovin starts obviously, but who's getting the back up keeper spot?

Dovin 90 mins again hopefully. No point giving other two a runout.

Dovin will play the full 90

Looking forward to it, not seen us play any foreign teams in Cov since 2007. Can’t remember when we played Dundee Utd ?
There might be a few Germans rock up on the day as well. Be interesting to see how we cope with a Bundesliga outfit.

Which begs the question, why did we even do it?

Seems pretty obvious when written out like that it's a terrible idea, plus the extra expense of it. Very odd.

Called it when announced. It was a fucking stupid decision playing wise

But we were offered cash for it so Doug took it

 

[Saddlebrains]

Ticket sales for this look wank

They should allow pay on the gate tomorrow would imagine a nice warm sunny day people might think fuck it lets go up

Yeah, someone F**KED up, let's Blame Doug King.

If we'd have done it right with an overnight stay or two and a mini training camp it would be fine. Not a long flight. Trying to do it all in the day is a bit silly.

We played alright though in fairness.

The other odd one is Roma. Why on earth are we playing them midweek before the season starts!? We better pray no one is injured.

 

[Nuskyblue]

Who plays for them that's any good?

Fuck knows, they have Naby Keita, was at Liverpool (they paid 70mil?) but they fucked him of cause he was shite. They also have Olly Burke.

The rest are Germans I've never heard of and a Norwegian

Pretty sure you can buy on the gate. I'm gonna head down fuck it, hopefully the atmosphere is half decent

It actually was him though

Sales for Everton looked poor. Then 17k rocked up.

Well 14k Sky Blues Fans actually.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

I too long for the return of playing the likes of VS Rugby in pre-season, rather than the current unpalatable trend of playing mid-table Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A teams.

I think it has worked out well playing Roma next tuesday.

Sheaf, Wright and Rodrigues can all get 45-60 minutes under their belts if fit, all need minutes now due to their injuries.

The 11 that start tomorrow leave them at home on tuesday.

Torp as well. And possibly a new signing

I think there's no cash turnstiles tomorrow just selling tickets on the day as far as I know.

Think it's to get use to the Saturday/ Tuesday theme, dont think we will play the team we start with tomorrow though tbh, just more fitness and minutes under the belt

Times have changed. With the E mail tickets straight to your phone ,unless there is a shortage of seats people will buy last minute . I’m expecting a load to sell when folk get home from work and more when they wonder what to do for the day in the morning.

Plea in advance - Darmstadt (the club) and their fans welcomed City fans - great to see. Hoping we don't do any '10 German bombers in the air' crap, and if any hint of it, it gets booed down, or gets no traction. Nice to show a bit of class as a set of fans.

Who from? Surely by the time all of the club's travel / accommodation etc was paid for it would cost a fair whack to get out there?

Totally agree

Agree with the 10 german bombers type stuff, maybe not try and give them a reacharound but fair play to them travelling over for it.

On the pitch, let's not show them respect

Will be sat in Brum airport during this. Any chance of a stream?

Doubt it. Maybe a water fountain somewhere

It's a pity Nuneaton Borough went under, ill miss their pub players and their knee high two footed challenges on our u23 squad.

If you can get it done that is,had two attempts earlier,did all the pay and everything,no luck, transaction incomplete!

Was it waiting on some sort of bank confirmation? Mine does it sometimes where I have to go into banking app and approve.
