    That line up just feels all over the place

    Worth remembering this is Cambridge’s final friendly, they will be fit and for their sakes hopefully very organised

    Guess that Trialist A is Dexter the Jamaican, and Trialist B is Bennett

    Assuming there's not leaving, it's not ideal that several players (Mannion, Ramsay, Godden Berry) have had little or no pre season football.

    We keep being linked with right backs and have signed rankin c so slightly worrying on ramsay 
    But Ramsay has been playing Right Centre-Back for the last six months.

    So technically we need further Right-Backs to cover an area of the pitch he doesnt play anymore... it would be Burke / Z. Mitchell that would be competing for that area of the pitch if Ramsay is on the way out, making me think that we'd surely be linked with better if he was to leave.

    Mannion being completely absent, even at this stage feels more telling?

    Cant be losing Ramsey. I get it it's football. But that would be a kick in the bollocks 
    If that was the case, surely one of the "ITK"s would have let us know...🤦‍♂️

    I would assume the same.

    Minutes on the pitch mate, as I am sure you know...

    Based on the teamsheet I would assume a 3-4-3 to 4-3-3 when in possession with JRC inverting into midfield (that’s what Blackburn fans said he’s very good at).

    It wouldn’t be the biggest surprise if someone has bid big for Ramsay- if anyone had asked our  fans which of last season’s squad might be good enough for the championship, 100 percent would have said him.

    Completely get that, only two friendlies after this so was maybe hoping we would start to get an idea of where we are at.

    Has there actually been one concrete rumour to say that we are looking to sell Ramsey? 

    All I’ve seen is wild speculation

    If you’re putting JRC at WB out of possession who plays in the middle next to Doc?

    I think it’s Apter at RWB and a very fluid front 3 with Mbick as a focal point

    It’s all just guesswork. We’re all so used to having our best players leave by now that we’re scarred

    I’m going for Apter at RWB, JRC in CM and TC either behind Leaburn and Mbick or as a front 3, which is how I thought it looked once they all came off the bench on Wednesday.

    Would expect the Ipswich match next Saturday to be there or there about's, after all these trialists are done hopefully

    Terry and Tony the so called “Rialist” twins in the side

    I would be amazed if Ramsay hasn’t been subject to a bid. Too much of a coincidence after Jones said he would be playing today. Unless he is ill.

    Anyone know why the pitch has been shrunken?

    Not enough grass to cover a bigger pitch? 🤔

    Not tuned in yet but are you talking about the big gap behind one of the goals? It’s always been like that

    Just a reasonable deduction at this stage I think. We were told there will be an out or two we won't like (or words to that effect). Noone else has left yet. He hasnt featured in any friendlies so far. He's a good investment for any higher level side. And it's what we do.
