It's essential that we impose our preferred style of play on the game from the very first whistle. Prolonged battles of head tennis in the opening minutes will not be a good omen!

Ideally need an early Joao goal (in the right end!) to boost his confidence and settle us down. Then go for the kill.

A couple of Pauno's usual bench warmers are turning out for the U23s - Onen and Camara. Guess we have enough first teamers fit to fill their places.

No problem, bring it on!

[Royals and Racers]

2 changes- Morrison and Yiadom return, and replace Holmes and Richards

[CountryRoyal]

Is this on sky?

[Jinx]

[CountryRoyal]

yep

Thanks x

Don’t get dropping Richards but there you go..

And how long has Moore been copyrighted?

[Hound]

Feels like Richards is starting to lose favour a bit. Wonder if he’s attitude hasn’t been right since the Bayern thing was sealed

Still solid side. No unexpected absences

He was a bit off before the contract, had a great game immediately after, then has dipped a bit again iirc.

Not too surprised Pauno is quicker on the trigger with him now he won't be here next season. Gibson is decent and if we have any sort of opportunity to buy him, we're going to want to see him kicking the ball in anger as much as possible.

[Snowflake Royal]

Coverage is very negative.

They say no wins in three.

I say one defeat in six.

[CountryRoyal]

This one has as big of a game feel as we’ve had since lockdown. Come on the ding!

[CountryRoyal]

Coverage is very negative.

Yep very much a Barnsley vvank-a-thon as expected.

[Ascotexgunner]

Coverage is very negative.

They say no wins in three.

I say one defeat in six.

Or 3 wins in 12.
Everyone focusing on Barnsley though. Can only be good.

[bcubed]

We are going to get oxf*rd all from Mr E

[Ascotexgunner]

Their moving the balll around us rather too nicely at the minute.

[tidus_mi2]

Bit of a sloppy start from us I feel.
