This has a 1-1 draw written all over it. Here he is, trying to appear relevant. Not sure how a Bradford fan can appear relevant when commenting on a match between a team that has just missed out on promotion to the Premier League playing one that just dropped out of the Premier League. Now, if we were playing a lower league club in the cup, he might have some useful inside info... |

Not a fan of Ruffels starting, I'd have Yuta left back and REG CB. I'd honestly be tempted to switch Koroma for Rudoni too. Rudoni will probably hit it less than 20 foot over the bar 😅😅 I don't think REG will start. I think Yuta will be centre back with Lees, plus Turton and Ruffels. REG didn't look great at Tranmere but he may be better with Lees alongside. I think we will play righties on the right and lefties on the left. So where does Pearson fit in? Him and Lees are brilliant together. Koroma is right footed but plays the left. Championship quality, shouldn't matter what side a CB plays. Full backs yes, centre halves not so |

Championship quality, shouldn't matter what side a CB plays. Full backs yes, centre halves not so We will have to disagree about that one. Koroma cuts in onto his right but rarely crosses with his left, which makes him predictable. Not sure which of the new midfielders are lefties but you only need to see the impact Toffolo had down that side and Sorba on the right to see where the advantages are. My comment really was more about REG with Pearson being out for this game. |

I imagine the starting line up will be a team that we would have considered a weak XI last year with our big players missing (LOB, Toff, Colwill & Sinani). Think DS will gently introduce Rudoni, Tino & Kasumu as the season goes and it'll be too soon for them tomorrow based on the team that started against Bolton last week. One enforced change of Nakayama for Pearson. Hope they can prove me wrong tomorrow but the prospect of this starting line up really doesn't excite me.
Nicholls
Turton Lees Naka Ruffels
Hogg Russell
Thomas Holmes Koroma
Ward

Full backs yes, centre halves not so Tell me you've never played football without telling me you've never played football. Funny that, played Conference North level at peak. Koroma plays on the left to cut in. I'm merely arguing he's gonna play left siders on the left. So I imagine then when fit, Pearson or Lees don't play? We don't play Yuta at left back, Turton at right and Lees, Pearson centrally. That is a damn sight stronger than Ruffels starting. That's my opinion. But me I know fuck all about football I suppose |

Nicholls Turton Lees Naka Ruffels Hogg Russell Thomas Holmes Koroma Ward It’s hard to look past this as a starting XI but for me, I’d still play REG ahead of Nakayama, who is a complete unknown. I actually think it would be a little unfair on him to play the opening game of the season from the start without any competitive minutes for us. Pearson / Lees / Boyle / Nakayama / REG should be fine for a season for centre half and we should trust all of them. Rudoni, Tino, Rowe, Grant and Ben Jackson are all interesting prospects / attacking options. Personally, have high hopes for Rowe. |

If we don't start well, I think it will be the owners, not Kompany that will be getting the criticism. Sounds familiar to us Town fans Transpennine  Edit: wrong other club fan mentioned |

Have we had confirmation yet that FIFA have given Nakayama permission to play?

Football season starting in July is the maddest thing ever. Because of the world cup in November presumably.

Pearson and Lees together will get beat for pace everytime which is why we used a back 3 a lot of the time last season with Colwill there for pace. Dont get the negativity with Ruffels. He will be a cracking player when given a run in the side. Played some very good games last season, yet is remember for his 1 abysmal one at Forest. |

Not facing Dwight McNeil tomorrow anyway - signed for Everton. Highly unlikely Cornet in their starting lineup either...

Kompany's said in the press conference that he's not ready. It leaves us (Burnley) really weak in the creative/wide options. |

I personally don't think he's great from what I've seen. Hope he proves me wrong but I can see him getting beaten by a fair few of this leagues wingers with ease if he's a starter. That's just my opinion of course |

Nicholls Turton Lees Naka Ruffels Hogg Russell Thomas Holmes Koroma Ward I'd imagine an 8PM Fri night start gives folk the chance to get a bit revved up though? End of the working week (for most), another 15mins of drinking time (if that's your thing), first game with expectant supporters for both sides... So a tepid 0-0 it is then... |

It seems strange to go from being a rock solid side in the Premiership, unspectacular but hard to beat, to where you are now. We have a lot of posters on here wanting a change of ownership, perhaps your situation gives them some food for thought. It will make tomorrow a little strange as we have no idea of the quality of the opposition we will line up against. I hope you get sorted (after tomorrow). |

It will make tomorrow a little strange as we have no idea of the quality of the opposition we will line up against. I hope you get sorted (after tomorrow). I don't think we were either! We knew Tarkowski, Weghorst and probably Pope were going, but the sales of Collins/Cornet/McNeil are a shambles. In addition its been poor that we couldn't convince our longstanding Captain Ben Mee to stay either! Ownership is tough, we were similar to you with Hoyle, we had local lad as a chairman, but for the last 2 years in charge he was actively trying to sell the club and basically put a stop on recruitment 2 summers ago (we only signed Dale Stevens that year Ffs) New owners have been pretty honest. They never said they had any money to spend, but that the 'model' would generate cash. But I reckon that's all based on being in the prem, not on playing Charlton in front of 11k on a November Tuesday night. At least it will keep us all guessing tomorrow.... |
