Looks like Molyneux is out for Saturday, Tomlin touch and go plus Griffiths out for 2 months, likely lineup:
Mitchell
Knoyle Williams Olowu Maxwell
Clayton Biggins
Rowe
Miller Andrews Hurst

Words fail me.

Humour is subjective, I mean people actually enjoy Mrs Brown's Boys for some reason, but that right there is just fucking awful, who made that and thought yeah this is good, this'll get a chuckle

Beyond cringewothy. Feel for Casey the Crawley fan on here for his club being involved in this merde.

 

[Optimistic Poolie]

Think its safe to say this belongs in the tinpot thread. May be one of the worst attempts at humour in football ive seen.

What the holy fuck is this

 

[ForzaCounty]

Let me try to scrub my brain clean by discussing something, literally anything, else

It's interesting to see comments from other County users on this board as to whom they would start.

For me, it's got to be:

GK Ben Hinchliffe
RWB Macauley Southam-Hales
RCB Joe Lewis
CB Fraser Horsfall
LCB Ryan Johnson
LWB Ryan Rydel
CM Callum Camps
CM Will Collar
ACM Antoni Sarcevic
STK Paddy Madden
STK Kyle Wootton

Suggestions of Croasdale over Camps and Quigley over Wootton can get in the bin. Camps and Wootton are just better players (in MY opinion)

Don't get me wrong though, I love Croasdale and Quigley, but they don't get in over Camps and Wootton.

For a start, I'm certain Jaros will be in goal, because Liverpool won't have sent him here to sit on the bench. If things go well he'll be keeping Ben out of the team on merit, if not we'll have the Twice-Should-Have-Been-NL-Keeper-Of-The-Season-But-The-People-Deciding-It-Are-Consistent-Fuckwits to shore things up between the sticks.

Second, I've seen that midfield trio trouted a few times and we really need the likes of Croasdale in there to hold things. Perhaps drop Collar instead - not anything against him, but when you sign four hundred midfielders then someone has to make way.

Other than that, I think that'd be the starting XI.

I'm not going to click on that Wagmi thing.

 

[BarraMatt]

I clicked on it. It's like having the Wish version of Wrexham's owners.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Sold out for Saturday now, even the wheelchairs

On an unrelated note what day are Amazon delivering your wheelchair?

 

[EricSabin]

Any Col U fans on here? There’s one ain’t there?

 

[chipmunx]

having clicked on it when i saw you retweet it I have to say you're being kind when you they are the wish version - but in some ways I hope they do one for each opponent..... just to see fans of some of the teams get butt hurt over it.....

Depends on wether my knee replacement works or they take half my leg but cheers for asking

 

[hellogregory]

Crawley at home.

They troubled us last season and we were lucky to take a point. I’m expecting an even stronger Crawley with one of if not the the best striker in the league. With our threadbare squad, lack of bodies topped off with the injuries, I just can’t see beyond a really emphatic Crawley win. It’s going to be a tough season and Simpson will soon realise what he’s got himself in for. We’ll have half a chance with him as he’s a good manager, but he’ll have his work cut out. Weak in too many key areas.

Carlisle United 0-3 Crawley Town

The season starting on Saturday hasn't really sunk in yet but it has now, cheers.

I wish I hadn't!

Oh dear lord give me strength!

As to Saturday and the game. Simpson will know how to set traps as we  fart play around at the back. Can see us losing 1-3

Miller on the wing? My confidence for Saturday has gone up a few notches now.

Took you long enough.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Took you long enough.

Another 100 have been made available for pay on the gate

I’m guessing given that Molyneux isn’t available I’ve actually zero idea how we will line up

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Smallwood v Clayton, could be a half time brawl to christen the new season.

 

[Jonny12]

Those 3 Centre backs wouldn't inspire confidence.

I beg to differ, Donervon Daniels was immense for us last season and transformed our defence, Peter Clarke was in the Team of the Season last year and Manny Monthe has been good for us.

Indeed, I read a lot more than I contribute though.

We usually draw on the opening day, and I would take that this year.

Pay on the gate, Whats that.

Our smart chaps at the club, ditched that idea.

 

[ForzaCounty]

What happens if 200 turn up expecting to be able to pay on the gate?

 

[DearneValleyRover]

100 will be disappointed

Not fancying your chances? I think we’ll take a while to click again

 

[F!RTHY]

It took them 5 days to sell 120 tickets.

Fair to say all those who wanted to be in the away end, have their tickets already.

On course for 18,500 - can’t wait for it.

I'm not sure I've ever really known such apathy and a lack of any expectation from anybody as there is at the moment, everything feels very disillusioned. Which is a little strange, as we were absolutely fine for the second half of last season and have largely retained the same squad.

I would imagine that Northampton away will be one of the tougher games of the season though, so perhaps it's better to get it out of the way early on before the season settles down.

Tomlin is way too good for this level problem is he is rarely fit.

Lee Tomlin should be fine then.
