Coventry, Luton and West Brom making up the rest of the bottom 6. Tough game in that heat. Some concerns, but some plus points too. Conway worked hard and looked good. (Shame about the header.) Back 3 a little better. Only conceded one. Weimann now 4 in 4. Errrr any more…?

For @BasSavage88??

It does play!! Even better. Genius.

@IAmNick do you have the Vyner yellow card?

Great work as always. Thanks Nick.

Great ball by Vyner. Well played

Massengo definitely starts. This is his opportunity to show Nige / potential suitors what he’s got.

Are you really suggesting that our professional football operation does not operate a n a professional manner????

If the way the team is listed is consistent then it’s Sykes at RWB

Looks like Sykes at wingback and the star boy as AM.

Heartfelt best wishes to Nick and all those close to him. My son was diagnosed with a sarcoma when he was a toddler so I unfortunately have some personal experience of this. Hoping for a full recovery and that he can get back to playing.

Nigel’s pre match press conference.

I don’t for one second think NP would not play Han if he felt it was in the interests of the team/club. I agree that Han would put in a shift, but there are a few players in front of him and I can see the argument for developing someone who sees their future with the club with minutes from the bench. Ultimately I see it as all up to Han. When he gets his opportunity (and he will) it is up to him to take it and nail down his place. That will benefit him in the future whether with us or elsewhere. As for NP saying words to the effect of “ He’s a squad player who will get some minutes “ I would imagine he would say that about many of the players we have. Not meant as disrespect but a pragmatic view of where he sits. He’s not a nailed on starter so I think that’s just Nige being Nige.

I would imagine that Zak is currently filling in as RCB and will be replaced when Kalas is fit and ready to play. Klose has had some difficult moments playing RCB in pre season so it might be Zac v Hull. I would imagine Naismith has been charged with organising him and making sure he stays switched on. If he can keep his concentration he is a capable squad player at this level imho.

First half effort from Scott.

For those with twitter this guy is posting clips.

Was it snowing heavily?

We did have an unusually hot summer in 1976. The image shows why this is not the same, and why those who are across the science are so concerned. I appreciate that it will not be a massive issue for most of us in our lifetimes. However it will likely be the most important issue for our children/grandchildren. Remedies are complex and probably too little too late. But those who write it off saying it was hot in ‘76, calm down and have an ice cream, are seriously missing the point.

Enjoyed that. Many thanks to @Red Army 75 If that’s the first indication of how proper competition for places will spur players on I’m quite excited about our prospects. Wilson and Tanner, DaSilva and Pring and also Williams, James, King, Massengo all looking pretty sharp. Academy boys all looking good. Seems to be a cohesiveness about the squad which I haven’t seen for a while. Very encouraging, especially given what we’ve seen over the last few seasons.

Would be appreciated. Stuck at home with Covid

Grateful for any updates. Particularly interested in team shape and how new lads are performing. Thanks

Some reaction from his mates. Hoping he will stay this season to help Ben Acey bed in.

0-2. An opportunity to show some resilience. Will they crumble or will they regroup?

Absolutely. Like Fulham.

I can only think of one. Just a rumour though, and I won’t believe it until it’s on the OS. ?
