shefcanary 2,435 Posted August 18, 2012 Line-up as follows: Ruddy, R. Martin, Turner, r bennett, tierney, Johnson, howson, Surman, Pilkington, snodgrass, Holtsubs: Rudd, Morison, Vaughan, Hoolahan, E. Bennett, Lappin, BarnettNo major surprise apart from Surman in for Bennett I guess. Definitely one up with Snoddy poaching. Anyone else not getting Radio Snorefolk on Canary Player?

shefcanary 2,435 Posted August 18, 2012 Rather rude of me not to say hello to everyone before the new season. Let''s hope that Hughton''s appointment means that second season syndrome is avoided. Still think another couple of signings are imminent. Today I''ll go for a narrow one goal victory. Holt reported to have captain''s armband too. Will hope to get a live stream to watch so may not be making too many contributions on here, especially if the Pink''Un''s new matchday coverage is more user friendly. Let''s be ''aving you - OTBC.

ca 1 Posted August 18, 2012 Was hoping he wouldnt start with one upfront today but what do I know[:)] CH knows much better than me thanks goodness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted August 18, 2012 Think E Bennett is a bit unlucky to find himself on the bench, he was one of our better players in both home friendlies whereas Pilkington had two quite poor games. Other than that it''s what I expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,435 Posted August 18, 2012 Not one englishman in the Fulham starting line-up. I know they are based in the most cosmopolitan of cities but says a lot about the modern game. Hopefully our team of local boys will have more of a team focus and will use that to good effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ca 1 Posted August 18, 2012 I agree with that GJP re Bennett, was also much as I expected though was hoping we''d play 442. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,435 Posted August 18, 2012 Hmm, Pink''Un''s match coverage doesn''t seem to be doing much - stuck on the first posting. And Canary Player radio commentary not working for me either. If a video link doesn''t work could be relying on this thread and BBc text! Anyone else having similar problems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,435 Posted August 18, 2012 And No OTBC service from the Club site. Has technology come to a grniding halt for NCFC today? Wass gorn on bor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted August 18, 2012 I too am not a fan of one up front, not the best use of Holt in my humble opinion. Also surprised that Bennett (E) isnt starting, but I have trust in CH to bring home at least a point regardless, as that''s a decent eleven and a strong bench, Fulham not so shabby either.

Redders Right Foot 22 Posted August 18, 2012 Great to see vaughan on the bench, hopefully he gets some game time. looks like he didn''t know about his number changing and he didn''t seem too pleased about it on twitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,224 Posted August 18, 2012 Bit underwhelmed by the line-up, Surman ahead of E Bennett? Bit surprised there. Either way, in Hughton we trust, not a fan of 1 up top but maybe they''ve got it ticking in training since the friendlies. 6 minutes to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manbearpig 0 Posted August 18, 2012 3 long balls in about 5 mins and we didnt deal with any of them and got done on the 3rd! Holt is far to isolated we have no relief ball forward and we dont have the numbers forward so the ball is gonna come back everytime! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
