    Just seen Charlie M in front of the West Stand - dressed like the man from DelMonte and pretending he owned the place. Resisted the temptation to ask him to pass on my regards to Ronnie Moore.

    Really hope Potts and Begovic sign this week, still look woefully short, just don’t see where the goals are going to come from
  • I'm hoping the team finishing today starts against Wigan...

    Seems like these are the squad numbers we will be running with, fairly disappointed to see Dangerous Dan still around, we're gonna offer him a one year aren't we?

    No Godden?
    Didn't he get a bash on the head at Wimbledon?

    Maybe a concussion protocol. 

    Must be he’s not even on the bench 

    fully expect the wing backs to be rotated a lot this season

    Not convinced by Campbell up front, surely Kanu or Godden will start a lot more games than him?

    Likely but I think there’s a real chance Small will be sold .

    So a GK and a center half is going to solve a lack of goals?
  • I would like to be first to say good  to see Taylor on the bench.
    Will be like a new signing when he comes on.

    Not at all, not mutually exclusive problems

    Surely you start with your best 11 & then make changes when they tire or injured.

    Are you Southgate in disguise ?

    Definitely not. No way will he leave Berry and Small  out next week. 
    I’ve been saying all summer that Edwards might surprise us all. I’m sticking to my guns on that one.

    No one’s place should be automatic and that includes Small.

    I suggested similar earlier on in the summer too. I don’t think he’s come he just to be cover for Small. We’ve given him a 4 year deal and NJ spoke about helping improve him to the point he gets in the Scotland squad.

    Small’s very promising but he’s not quite done enough to be an automatic first choice. As someone said above the WBs will likely rotate a lot this season.

    'From all over the pitch' as we have been told since Alfie left. I doubt that the starting line-up has 30 career goals between them all
  • I don't know if this has been posted anywhere but obviously we're at home to Portsmouth and millsmall are at home to Southampton today.
    I'm surprised the police let both the games go ahead at the same time.

    COYR. I would like to see the first 11. Looking for a decisive win.

    The police will keep the Soton fans in for an hour afterwards  ;)

    Small has been a good attacking outlet since he joined us though. With a "workmanlike" midfield, we do need a lot of attacking threat from the flanks.

    That seems more than likely.

    should be a proper test today and I hope that Jones treats it just like a league game .. not too many changes and try to get a settled, proper starting Xl together .. last chance before the real stuff starts

    Not sure about that team, but guessing he will rotate a bit.

    Bit weird, this game isn't listed on any betting website, but you can bet on Solihull Moors vs Wallsal
