πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚you think our premier league players will get bullied by Doncaster players?. This will be a training game and it will be keep ball for us. It will be a rubbish watch with no intensity where we run out at least 3-0 winners.

Would I be right in thinking that some of those games that are listed as being on TNT are also on Amazon Prime?
No, Amazon got priced out of PL matches, they show some Champions League but not the same matches as TNT


 
100% Spence starts on the right. Looking forward to that.

My guess:

Kinsky
Spence Danso Davies Udogie (Maybe Spence Romero Danso Davies)
Sarr Bentacur Gray Johnson
Muani Tel (Maybe Xavi Tel)
 
Yes if we pick a really strong team. I hope Frank is sensible enough to avoid the mistakes of the past when we were arrogant enough to think the likes of Colchester would be blown over by 2nd teamers. Play your best team until the job is done and the game is won. Then bring on the subs.

Vs Colchester

.........Gazzaniga
..Dier Sanchez Tanganga
KWP Skipp Wanyama Davies
....Dele ...........Moura
...........Parrott


Son, Lamela, Eriksen on as subs.

There was enough in that starting 11 to beat Colchester in theory.
But as always, it's the amount of changes that causes the problems. IMO, good/experienced coaches don't make 7, 8, 9 changes as there's no cohesion at all.

I think we could make a couple of rotations but yeah, not the entire team. Should be strong enough to win with a few rotations and then use the subs wisely if up comfortably.
 
Simons and Odobert needs game time, imo, so I would definitely start them. Sarr is also starting as he was a sub against Brighton. Think we'll see Kinsky, Spence, Romero, Danso, Udogie; Grey, Sarr, Xavi; Johnson, Tel, Odobert.
 
--------------------Kinsky-----------------
Spence---Romero---Danso---Udogie
--------------Gray-------Sarr-------------
Johnson--------Simons--------------Tel
-----------------Kolo-Muani---------------

Comfortable 3-0 win.

EDIT - Heard Muani is unfit. Put Scarlett in.

The pre-season and transfer window showed we have, at least in theory, strength in depth. Shouldn't this be an opportunity (a) to give most, if not all, players we need on Saturday night a midweek rest, and (b) to give a couple of young'uns an experience against appropriate opposition and with the home crowd cheer in their sails?

The youngsters I'd like to see are Jun'ai Byfield, who impressed in preseason sufficiently to be taken on the Asian tour, and the prodigiously talented LWB. If not now, then when?

Would love to see a coupla kids on the bench... Williams-Barnett, Casanova or Byfield would be nice.... If ONLY to give the #900 Legacy number to an Academy player for the future!

Got a FEELING Bissouma might be involved at some point.... Based on nothing whatsoever other than needing numbers on the bench, and NOT wanting or hopefully needing to be Bentancur, Paulinha or Bergwall!
