Biggest surprise for me is Noni left out. 

Could we be hoping to sell him and not wanting to cup tie/see him injured.

Notably no Carney even on the bench. I think he was named in the squad but suggests he may be off on loan at least.

Good opportunity for the 6 new guys to show us what they can do this evening.

Interested to see Caicedo as captain too ...

And no sign of Carney 

I still think a club showed genuine interest a few weeks ago and since then they've kept it under wraps. 

Reckon its Palace. 

Something that's been eating away at me is if Servette dish out a beating they'll be dining out on it for years.

If we can’t put a few past the paper towels then I worry a bit moving forward.

It is probably worth scanning the Servette lineup to see which player(s) we will be targeting for a transfer in the next window

Interesting to see Jorgensen and Guiu. Other than that, that team should be decent enough to beat Servette, but I doubt it would beat many championship teams. And I’m not sure that we’ll manage a clean sheet with that defensive line.

odds are probably against a clean sheet. We only managed 1 in a preseason.

Never heard of a single one of their players therefore I expect a 4 nil drubbing. 

Probably the tallest back line we've ever had ?

Tosin 196, Badiashile 194 Disasi 190 Veiga 190

Poch will be sat at home, spitting feathers at his TV at that LOL. "Look at that Karina ... and they gave me f**king Maatsen !!!" (breaks TV)

Surprised we have 2 keepers on the bench given the size of our squad.

Oooo....I know that one, asked the same question a while back. Lol

Rules are each squad has to have 3 keepers. 

Any heroes out there with links to the game?

Thanks. Well at least we aren't just including an extra keeper for the sake of it.

Mp bud, but I have no reason why they've decided on 3. Gone are the days of seeing a def/mid or even a striker getting in a goal and everyone having a laugh. 😄

Wanted to watch Madueke play from the start. Wonder what's happened to him, tough?! Looked to have locked that right wing spot in pre season, now he can't even get a start ahead of Mudryk... 

Madueke and Carney look to be next out the door.

stream please

Veiga

Yeah, but already covering left back. We’ll probably be fine though, assuming our injuries are nowhere as bad as last year

Mudryk over Noni, really ?!!?

A bit harsh, I think we'll score at least 1 goal tonight 😉

This is one of those silly games that will tell us absolutely nothing. We will win, be it 1-0 or 10-0 and the team is so changed, (but changed from what?) that it also offers nothing. Largely a complete waste of everyone’s time.
