Expect a good share of minutes between the two of them. Big chances for Bell and Mehmeti, if indeed this is an audition.

real_bristol Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Good morning. I have a Robins TV subscription but not seeing anything on the app? Also I’m not in U.K. not sure if that makes a difference.

JP Hampton Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 1 hour ago, Midred said: Paid rhe £5 for streaming but nothing else showing up apart from Robins tv showing the match starting at 3.00! Anyone else noticed this? Will the club release the team line up early or will it remain a mystery until kick off? Keeps taking us in and out of the page and we keep needing to sign in again. Very frustrating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best chance fell to Armstrong, who did well to create some space for himself but then put it comfortably over the bar - should have hit the target. Defence looking solid. Knight and Bird impressing in the centre. Mehmeti with a few nice touches to go past players on the left hand side. Lacking a little bit of quality with our final (or penultimate) ball.

BetterRedthanBlue Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 5 minutes ago, Ivorguy said: Does our team look a decided improvement on last season’s? Imo no. There's been a couple of times there's been space in the midfield and everything is just a bit slow and I thought "if Matty is here he's seeing this space and running the midfield like he did last season" but Bird and Knight have looked good. Our front line again is a concern. Mehmeti has been decent, Armstrong has got into good positions but he is Semenyo at the beginning his decision making is a bit suspect. Not heard Wells' name much. Defence has looked good and Max hasn't really been tested. It's just a bit too slow for my liking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Hirakama, from the bits I've seen, he looks a level above most, if not all, our wide forwards. His challenge, I think, will be settling in off the pitch, not on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
