[Jay Bee]

The chair has cup fever

 

[Banana]

Don't think you can be too strong but can only assume Josh still has a niggle.

No. Just not up to fitness yet and we needed an "just in case" bench this evening.

 

[stomalomalus]

They're obviously Champ mid-table...but Yarmo is just so good. Loving his work. So much space for our attackers, though.

 

[hanworthbee]

Anthonys foot was a yard over the line at that throw in

Aslong as a part of both feet are on the line or behind it's ok

 

[Jay Bee]

Wilson 1-0 anyway

 

[Dazza]

Know he's been caught on the ball a couple times but I like Schuster so far. Think he's just used to a bit more time on the ball in Austria than in England, he'll quickly wise up. Think he's looked good breaking forward with the ball a couple times.

Antony's crossing is lovely, saw a couple at weekend and obviously the one for Collins goal tonight. Offers us something different in the front line.

Vita best player on the pitch. Has he somehow gotten even better this summer?

 

[tinman]

No need to risk anyone on the bench other than Carvalho if the score stays the same.

 

[BURFORD BEE]

Thinking of my trip to St James Park the last time we played them away in the League Cup 16 years ago. How things have changed!

 

[coconino]

Schade on for Dango

 

[RhodeIslandBeeUSA]

Schade might run rampant this half

 

[readingbee]

Schade on for Dango

He was fairly quite first half.

 

[mhead bee]

Not sure why we bring Kev on, save him for the scum on Sunday

Cavhalio needs minutes

 

[Pixelator]

Who was Schade talking to just before he came on?

St Andrews*

I was there too

 

[mhead bee]

Who cares? We don't need to rush. Let them run the clock down!

We should all care, it’s a new rule that is already being used selectively depending on the circumstances and who it is.

 

[aawharris]

Aslong as a part of both feet are on the line or behind it's ok

It wasnt

 

[LongLostBee]

Bringing on Sangaré!? That’s just mean!

 

[RhodeIslandBeeUSA]

Sangare on - game over

 

[coconino]

Yarmo off for Sangaré, possibly forced change?

 

[tinman]

Yarmo injured.

 

[Banana]

Goodbye Birmingham

 

[CattedownBee]

Surprised to see us bring on two starters 3-1 up but what do I know! 2 injuries?

 

[thomasBee]

Yarmo injured....

 

[Boston Bee]

I remember a League Cup match in something like 2003 where Middlesbrough absolutely toyed with us.

 

[aslan]

Yarmo coming off a minute after HT isn't great news

 

[stomalomalus]

Shoot, Yarmo off injured

 

[Gazza Bee]

That looks stonewall pen

 

[londondude]

Would say always the plan for Dango and Kev to have 45 each

Yarmo had a niggle

 

[Banana]

Would say always the plan for Dango and Kev to have 45 each

Yarmo had a niggle

I reckon so

 

[aslan]

Tim Robinson missing another handball? Will he get the defender banned for his own mistake?

 

[Banana]

That looks stonewall pen

It can't be a pen if you kick it into your own hand.

 

[RAF_Patto]

Would say always the plan for Dango and Kev to have 45 each

Yarmo had a niggle

Why bother bringing Yarmo back on for the second half then? He went straight down the tunnel as well, which would suggest it needs looking at, so likely not a known injury.

 

[LongLostBee]

Good at those little dinks is Antony.
Really growing into this game he is.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

That looks stonewall pen

I reckon the ref had looked away momentarily and missed it. Would like to see a shot of Robinson at that instant.

Yeah hope it's nothing too serious

 

[upnorthbee]

That looks stonewall pen

Would hate that to be given against us

 

[stevil]

Jaidon looking very impressive

 

[Boston Bee]

Anthony is having his opposite for lunch.

 

[SCARFER]

I remember a League Cup match in something like 2003 where Middlesbrough absolutely toyed with us.

Memory could be playing up but 4-0 I think? Also had been recently changed to one leg thankfully.

 

[upnorthbee]

Damsgaard looks like he’s lost more weight, anyone know much about his condition? Is it related?

 

[Boston Bee]

Memory could be playing up but 4-0 I think? Also had been recently changed to one leg thankfully.

Looked it up: 4-1 October 2002. Only game I was ever in Brooks Road upper, and the deadly silence as they just blasted us lives long in the memory.

Can’t believe that’s 16 years ago.
What a night !
Plucky just promoted L1 underdogs give prem team a real scare. Incredible support that night. Sam Wood screamer IIRC.
Now it’s a routine dismantling of a mid table champ team.
How’s your luck Zulu boys ?

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Is Sangaré left-footed?

 

[LongLostBee]

Pretty surprised we’re bringing on Thiago too!

 

[Banana]

Would hate that to be given against us

It would be overturned by VAR as not a handball in law

 

[RhodeIslandBeeUSA]

Thiago looking to get on the score sheet now

 

[londondude]

Gsus bringing Igor on too now

 

[RhodeIslandBeeUSA]

It is very dark in goal

 

[David Brentford]

Wrong disciple

 

[Rob-BEE]

Re the subs, I think at this stage it's about getting more minutes in the legs as much as resting people. Fairly sure nobody needs an actual "rest" 1 game into the season!
