Not quite up there with Mark Simmons' Dave-winning gag but promising nevertheless.

I'd go top heavy here. Lot of these attackers need to get match sharpness and their flow back.

I hope I'm wrong but an early exit coming up. Shades of St. Gallen if people remember that. And we had a better team then

Surley not.... i mean, this lot lost 0-6 to bael. 

 

.... i mean anything is possible I guess... imagine that though, we have this huge squad and 60% of them because irellevent over night

I'm not against it. Don't think Maresca would dare risk the loss though or draw though. 

There wont be many changes

Anyone have any idea how to watch this game? At one website it said we should look at clubs own streaming services but I can't see Chelsea offering the stream on their site...

Any idea or info on this? 👆

Paramount +

One change in the European competitions this year with the new format. Teams will no longer drop down from the Europa league to Conference league after the group stage. The only teams that can drop down a competition would do so as a result of losing in the playoff games currently in progress. So once the group stage is set, that will be the complete list of teams remaining in the competition.

Going to need a new defence Sconnie as none of those three are in the list of players submitted to UEFA as our squad for this game apparently !

Only two centre backs in the list (Disasi and Badiashile) so I guess that's the pairing unless Veiga is in as LCB

 

GK: Sanchez, Jorgensen, Bettinelli

DEF: James, Gusto, Disasi, Badiashile, Veiga, Cucurella

MID: Fernandez, Caicedo, Lavia, Chukwuemeka, Dewsbury-Hall

FWD: Nkunku, Jackson, Guiu, Palmer, Neto, Madueke, Mudryk

 

<EDIT> Apparently this was only the "A" list and there is a "B" list announced tomorrow which will probably have Colwill and Acheampong on it.  So possibly just Tosin to backfill !

Any fellow Norwegians who have figured out how to watch this game? Doesn’t seem to be broadcast anywhere here 😢

James? That was a quick recovery from his injury. 

Hopefully we win and put in a decent performance.

I know, I know…

Same here in Finland. I read somewhere that as this is a qualification game it is not part of a deal a possible broadcaster have purchased. The conference league (after qualifications) itself in Finland is under Viaplay Group or whatever it is called these days. Not sure you have it in Norway. 

It said somewhere to check the clubs own streaming service for the game. Not on Chelsea website. No news on it, nothing. Maybe Servette streams it...maybe.

I copied a report from the Standard that suggests it’s on TNT yet they, TNT, haven’t updated their schedule if it is.

I can’t get to the game so was relying on TV.

 

Mixed reports whether it's on Paramount + too - apparently the early stages aren't?

Thanks. Yeah, Viaplay will broadcast the group games here too but not the qualifiers. I’ll asked Chelsea FC directly, I’ll post it here if I get a useful response

Yes, well. Caveat emptor. They owe me £4.99 for the stream of one of the pre-seasons that refused to load.

I’m not too fond of their streams either, quality is normally awful. In this instance however, I’m just glad it seems I get to watch it - if the streams load, that is!

I should have been suspicious when the payment window took two or three attempts to load.

Nice 👍...easier and cheaper to just pay 4,99 than subscribe to another service and or find the game in another way. I know the prices for these are a laughing stock but for me it is just so simple to buy. Buy one less pint in a bar and you have both games to watch at home.
