Yep, a hat trick on his debut would put too much pressure on. Wasn't there a French lad some decades ago who did that and never scored again?

Was really hoping that he'd move on this season and the we'd get a much-needed chunk off cash from the sell-on clause.

Casey plays on the left and Bevis on the right. Hopefully you are now unbaffled.

Yep, scored a goal for Wimbledon once a few years ago. Pedigree.

To be fair, I think MJC also wants to see him do well.

Hat-trick of assists for him!

You're right, it's going to be tight and we'll be in the middle of it so it's a toss-up between sixth and seventh. Cup run is unlikely.

Seems to me that Bair may well be with the development team this season and will benefit from training with the likes of Obika and Wilkinson until he is ready. He possibly at the lower end of the pay scale so it is on him to learn, develop and prove his worth.

We're just going have have to grin and Bair it.

Can't imagine the talk on Sevco's social media when they signed a player named Sands.

I think that with those forwards we'll see a lot more goals from our midfield as well. We know that Obika works hard and links up well so it up to Wilkinson and Bair to show what their strengths are too.

I think that this is the right approach in that SK looks to be building a team that works well together. Not like last season when we were all about KvV so if an opponent figured out how to stop him or if he was injured / suspended / in a huff we rarely looked like scoring. If we can get four forwards in rotation scoring several goals each then it will have been a success. I've no idea if the new signings and Ferrie are capable of that but I look forward to seeing how they all develop.

Jonathan Page facing his old club today.

Connor Shields confirmed now. Contract terminated so that he can move on a one year deal to Chennaiyin where Owen Coyle is their manager.

If he managed to injure himself then it probably was. Was an ambulance called?

Don't feed the troll.

They'll have to do. Can't just sack them a month into their contracts.

And Agyeman.

Solid looking lineup. Understandable that Kelly is in for the toughest team in the group but would like to see Oxborough back in next game.

I hope that he does, wish him nothing but the best.

Great news! Now I don't have to find a pub that will change the channel for just one punter to watch The 'Well.

Hope Marshall was in goal again.

I'm going with BBC as the only player to miss was named and it wasn't one of ours.

Fit enough to sit on their bench this evening. Or so it seems. EDIT: Replaced T.Watt at half time.
