This must surely be the first competitive fixture that we've ever had in the month of July ?

 
I'm looking forward to the game, a later kick-off time hopefully means cooler weather and a better performance from us.

It won't be easy with our best player out, but we have enough quality to see us through. I'd like to see us go back to two proper wingers and have Palmer in the middle, so Reece as the inverting fullback and Noni on the right please, Enzo! Having Jackson back is also a positive, so we don't have to see the false 9 BS from Palmer once Delap gets tired.

I hope Cucu pockets Estevao, he needs a solid introduction to level he has to reach to play for us regularly.

 
Won't be watcing this game.

Can't watch it the following day on DAZN without paying extra. Already paying way over the top for Sky And BT.

This type of bullsh*t just forces fans into buying firestixs.

 
It's only 9:00pm here I'll watch it for everyone and report back. 😂

Am I correct both Caicedo and Palmer are out.

"having Jackson back is a positive" 🙂 click bait, you cannot be serious?

Or he completely ties him up in knots and shows his level is already there. That’d be better, if not a little unlikely from what I’ve seen of him in this comp so far.

 
But if I put a Chelsea match on I’ll be asleep within minutes anyway might as well cut out the middle man.

We should leverage this for our next shirt sponsor...............

Palmeiras will missing both of their starting CBs -- one being the skipper. Ah their LB is also suspended.

Jackson has one advantage right now, which is that he knows the system well and his presence may help Cole to play a bit better.
