Likely 23 or 24 Aug - that week anyway

Agree. To be fair, before his injury last season I did notice his defensive awareness. He clearly isn’t going to start every game, but in particular he might be a useful option as a sub when our other midfielders are tiring or we are looking to see a game out.

Well played lads. Hopefully a confidence booster for Saturday.

Listening to robins tv (audio) they thought it might be cramp so hopefully that’s all.

Robins tv - audio option

If the radio commentary is correct, it sounds like King is doing a decent job as the defensive midfielder tonight.

Agree. My favourite is the one who thinks Coventry are a one man team (Kasey Palmer) and expects us to be working night and day solely on our plans to stop him!

I agree about the positives. I’ve certainly seen some decent quick incisive passing moves already this season and I haven’t always been able to say that.

Agree - it’s the Q not the player. He explains that he selects the starting 11 and bench based on what he thinks is best for the team on the day. Pretty logical and straightforward. Doesn’t have to be a conspiracy theory every time someone doesn’t make the squad. Some of the Qs were even about not making the squad last season!

Yes there was a tribute for Stoney plus Tinners and another fan named Martin before the match including pictures on the big screen and words over the tannoy which was well done I thought (and in fact the tribute on 76 mins took me by surprise)

Gone for a Burton

Bet Kasey Palmer can’t wait to play on that!

Just give us a bye to round 2!

Brilliant. Germany have never lost in a final before and they were coming on strong in extra time. We’ve seen England’s men crumble in situations like this in the past so it was great to see the Lionesses stay resilient and come back to win. Outstanding achievement.

I’m going to be charitable. Maybe he burst when the guy stood on his foot.

First time I’ve seen Weimann lack energy. He looked too knackered to close down. The guy had too much time on the edge of the box.

Is that a euphemism?

Come on lads. Let’s get the winner in the 90th minute so the ref can’t retrieve the situation.

That’s a shocking decision

Weimann will drop back into Scott’s position I presume

I was just thinking the same. Be surprised if Scott stays on for the full match given he missed the start of pre-season. Bring Wilson on at some point in the second half and move Sykes forward.

Was Vyner driving or did he give it its last service?

Was just going to say the same re BBC ?

Agree - and they did line up like that recently.

I think Pearson feels that those 3 at the back work best together as a unit. They did play together a lot in pre-season of course. Need Kalas back fit of course.
