    From a shape and system perspective that's the best half of our pre-season.

    The worry though, is that we're being forced to play long to Nicky Ajose against Christoph Berra.

    We have absolute zilch attacking threat. Been in there box 0 times . Not even a corner

    #cafc doing alright here. Without actually creating chances. If that makes sense.
    Even if we draw every league game 0-0, we will still be relegated
    No we wouldnt... Doncaster (-16) / Blackpool (-23) would still have gone down ahead of us on Goal Difference last season as ours would have been 0
    Don't forget we would only get 44 points though. People are forgetting we lose to Millwall twice.

    I will get one right tonight
    I'll give you that one then @Ross on that basis that we'll lose twice to Millwall and so be relegated ;)

    Is Pinocchio there tonight ?

    Yes turned up about 25 mins in. Suitcase on her so I'm guessing she's just got back from her 4 month stay in Dubai

    Foley and Crofts are younger versions of Jackson.
    Konsa plays like Gomez and looks a real talent. Johnson and Slade swearing at each other.
    Slade is cutting an angry and frustrated figure and seems to have developed a Tourette's like twitch. Has liked nothing we have done so far.

    Harriott looking ok as does Holmes when he has the ball and is running at them.

    Ajose hardly a sniff against top quality Championship centre backs.

    All our subs are academy plus Ba.


    We certainly need those 5 or 6 new players at least.

    But other than that it's ok?

    Defence looks ok , nothing to shout about...
    Midfield looks almost pedestrian and had zilch creativity to excite or prose any threat!
    Attack ... What attack? Hardly anything going forward , we struggled to score goals last season and I think this season could be worse!

    Tactics don't seem too clear, nothing to suggest we're going for counter attacking etc!
    Have a few finesse players who have a tricks but they're going to get kicked about for fun!

    I've thought that too, given his ability on the ball, but haven't seen enough of him to know how good he is at defending.

    That said, let's all agree to talk him down until at least 1 September lest Burnley come sniffing.

    Absolutely heaving.

    It is big nights like tonight, packed into the valley all the hustle bustle of the crowd, trying to get to the bar for a shandy or three, moaning at the youngsters who can't find a seat, so have decided to stand on the stairs, elbowing me in all the excitement of the drama unfolding under the floodlights. Never knowing at what moment the ball will go in the back of the net so we can all go mental!

    Yes life doesn't get better than being a football fan under the duchatelet regime!

    Thanks Roland you truly are a god of this fine sport!

    It would help to keep playing like this, perhaps RD and KM may, just may, realise how inadequate this squad is

    Or they will say "you held a championship side 0 - 0 so you don't need more players"
