WestSussexBlue added 19:24 - Aug 28 Nice touch I think to get Al Hamadi playing this evening. Hopefully gets a warm welcome from home fans.

muhrensleftfoot added 19:27 - Aug 28 I guess that means Edmundson is on his way. Shame really, a good solid player but maybe not quite Premier League. I met his dad at an away game at MK Dons not that long after he joined. Good bloke travelling all over the country to support his son.

SickParrot added 19:32 - Aug 28 It's a strong team but with so many debutants we may lack cohesion. Only two things matter though, that we avoid another Maidstone and that we don't pick up any more injuries.

Fabianski added 19:39 - Aug 28 Cajuste and Philips in midfield vs Morsy and Luongo - will be interesting to see how these 4 change up over the season! Hoping for two big debuts tonight…

UhlenbeekDownTheWing added 20:46 - Aug 28 Cajuste looks very tidy indeed. Annoyed about how many empty seats there appear to be in the away end, couldn’t get a ticket to go as ‘sold out’.
