Can see why we want a dm destroyer who can play a bit, as only thing that worries me is those middle 3 could be a bit weak defensively and get ran through. I suppose we will probably see how it holds up later.

Against teams that are likely to sit in deep with less of the ball against us, it should be fine but currently in my opinion its the best we can currently put out.

12 July OGC Nice 2 v Cercle Brugge 1
16 July OGC Nice 3 v Aubagne 0
19 July OGC Nice 3 v AS Nancy Lorraine 3

All those games played at the Centre de Formation OGC Nice Training Centre. Despite what United have said, today's game will NOT be Behind Closed Doors. It will be played under the same conditions as those three. 500 fans.

26 July, as part of their Training Camp in Austria, OGC Nice played TWO games on the same day.

26 July OGC Nice 0 v St Pauli 2, played at Sportzentrum Anif
26 July OGC Nice 2 v Feyernoord 1, played at MGG Arena, Grödig

The disparate members of the Carrier Bag Firm are being understandably cagey about their plans for the game, lest they damage their chances of getting in.
Only ONE of them, ("Monte Carlo yesterday..."), has absolutely confirmed they're on the way to the game.
My peoples...

I am really interested to see how todays game goes as you in my mind this is the first time (apart from the first half against Burton) where the opponent is likely to really try and take the game to us. In days gone by, I would expect this type of game, us to be compact, hard to break down and then try and scrape a goal. From all the dialogue, it feels like we will try and still play our game and it will be a good test to see how this goes.

Strong current first team out to start with, changes around 60-70 minutes.

 

[Tony Currie]

Strongest pre season match so far so need strongest side playing.

OGC Nice finished the 2024‑25 French Ligue 1 season in 4th place, securing a spot in the Champions League third qualifying round. They ended the campaign with 60 points from 34 matches, boasting a +25 goal difference (66 scored, 41 conceded)

There's been no social media so far about this one. A shame to have not been able to attend the game, but good that it's on YouTube. Looking at flight stats (nerd alert), I reckon they flew out with Eastern Airways from East Midlands last night on T39651 and are flying back this evening on EZE1B.

[Thrice]

Will be an interesting test. Should give us an idea where we stand with Sellesball against stronger opposition.

 

[dexter101]

That's 6 there time we are a hour behind

but they are an hour in front, meaning it can't be 3hour 50 to kick off? unless kick of is at 6pm uk time (7pm their time..)
