Thank god for the five subs

 

[robbiez666]

Egan




Probably Clark...

Slow and wrong footed. Going to be fun. If Stevens plays the other side as well. Maybe he'll play RND at LCB for his pace but that's a lot of the proverbial square pegs.

 

[jono_t2000]

Looking at both lineups... We're fooked

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Paul “ Square pegs in a round hole “ Heckingbottom

Where’s dycheyyyy

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

We must be the only team who signs players every summer then don't play them.

What a crap line up. I can't believe Stevens and Fleck are in the starting line up and Brewster is on the bench.

FFS

 

[SUFCinks]

Was looking forward to this game until i saw the lineup.

 

[Bladey_blade]

That defence is terrifying. Who is playing RCB, RND or Stevens? Or Clark?

I quite like the look going forward but I can't imagine there's a clean sheet to be had here.

Look at the front 3 they'll be facing, a clean sheet would be a miracle

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Where is Robinson.

 

[adamawdhali]

we’re either getting relegated tonight or going up with our generational talent jebbison

I can potentially being a scrappy unmemorable borefest where we constantly give away possession cheaply.

Who else have we signed who could have played tonight?

 

[originaltrueblade]

Unsure about the selection mmmmmmmm

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Dreadful lineup, we’re not scoring tonight.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Score tonite will be Watford 4 and us nil.

Egg on face at 10pm if wrong.

Is Ahmedhocvic injured as I thought he was on the bench? If not, my mistake as I'd expect him to start.

I'd happily eat the egg off your face if your wrong

RND played LCB a few times in pre-season I think, so would guess that's the plan

 

[Camden Blade]

My guess is Egan RCB where he plays for Ireland, Clark in Egan's usually spot, Stevens LCB. Be interesting to see how Jebbo has progressed since last season when frankly he looked a bit lost although usually just came on as a late sub. Khadra and Brewster off the bench if it's not working up front. Norwood and Fleck though. Yes one or the other but together they're very pedestrian and we always get overrun.

That lineup is uninspiring

Doesn't Egan play on the left for Ireland?

 

[Speedracer]

Whoooosh moment …

Cool, a wink emoji or something would have helped though.

 

[SUFCScorecard]

OK, the defence is bit of a mess, but it sounds like there isn't much we can do about that.

Most interesting thing for the season here is Jebbison over Brewster. Jebbo has looked great in pre-season, and seem like he's 100% determined to make it into the team this year. If Jebbo can put in a performance/get a goal he could keep the shirt for a game or two.

Hecky has said that Brewster isn't quite 100% in shape yet, so maybe that was the determination here but its got to be a worry for him because Sharp (and possibly McBurnie) will be fully fit in a few weeks time so the competition will be fierce if he (Brewster) wants to be our starting striker.

 

[Camden Blade]

Doesn't Egan play on the left for Ireland?

I thought someone posted on here before that he played RCB for Ireland. That's where I got it from so you may be right.

 

[Harry's Game]

Cool, a wink emoji or something would have helped though.

or a look at the Wednesday thread to see who posted the Pitsmoor pig guff

 

[South Sea Blade]

Doesn't Egan play on the left for Ireland?

Yep.

 

[northsomersetblade]

He said "It was like Rorkes Drift out there today"

I think it was more like 'it was like being in zulu'

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

Anyone know what a pre-season opener is?

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Great promo on Insta for tonight's game featuring two players not starting and one who should never start for us again.

 

[Yarrayering]

At least we can make some positive changes at some point

Hope it's not when we 2 down..

 

[originaltrueblade]

Sarr and Dennis in the lineup probably their last game for Watford …..bloody marvellous
