Bump

I assume this one is likely to go ahead given the issues that caused the Bristol Rovers game to be called off?

 

[Swadler8]

wondering if Ben Lloyd can get a run out this preseason. maybe early but he looks advanced.

I wonder if there’ll be any management material come to watch the Swans tomorrow?

Main starting lineup talking points:

Hamer starts in goal - probably to give him a chance to stake a claim after Benda did well against Plymouth.

Liam Walsh, Korey Smith and Yan Dhanda in midfield - Yan was pretty poor against Plymouth, really needs to up his game and stake a place today. Liam and Korey will be interesting to see what kind of partnership they will have in midfield.

Oli Cooper, Joel Piroe and Jamal Lowe up front - I thought Oli's cameos last season were promising, looking forward to seeing what he can offer tonight and it will be the first proper chance to see Joel.

Matt Grimes missing - allegedly a "minor knock" that is being assessed

Matt Grimes misses out tonight with "a minor knock" according to the official site

still looks a mid table side to me

I couldn't give two f*cks about tonight's match, a new manager is not going to have his stamp on the team in 10 days, hopefully when we do appoint a manager, we'll get a few more bodies in, calling up 16 year olds to fill a gap is not ideal in the rough and tumble of the Championship, Dhanda and Cullen need to get out on loan, because they're not good enough, Latibeaudiere was dodgy against Plymouth, but let's hope it's a Guehi moment.. we're too sentimental ATM, giving Ben Margetson a contract due to his father speaks volumes, we're being run like a charity

Paid for the stream, thought I'd listen and half watch while working.

There's NO SOUND!! :roll: :lol:



ah sound started 30 seconds in

 

[airedale]

I really like Cooper, to me he looks very promising.

For the first time since relegation, looking at that lineup, I feel like our transition back to ‘Championship squad’ is complete.
