Cheltenham Town (A) | Pre-Match Thread

Think we could maybe start with a couple of academy lads in this one. Maybe THB and Doyle and then bring on more attacking lads if we get well in front. I have an inkling that Pep may prefer to use this to give minutes to established first teamers though.

If Jesus and Sterling play maybe then can get some goals which would help their confiednce - would love to see Delap given a run out.

As Delap got himself sent off, is he banned for this one ?

Are we arriving by Transit Van as well? Arriving a bit late as we had to locate one guy with a love bite and another with a shiner?

Half a box of cheese and onion crisps for the post match recovery snacks, washed down with a couple of pints of Stella. Sounds like the lads are going to have a good Saturday night.

Zinchenko may be used in midfield IF Walker's injury is not bad and he can play next league game. Mendy will start at LB anyway.

If Zinch doesn't start in midfield, then Mahrez may play there with Dinho and Doyle, with Torres, Jesus and Palmer in attack.

If needed Raz, Bernardo, Cancelo and Foden may be subbed in. With Kevin, Walker and Aguero injured out, no need to risk further injuries.

If possible I'd rest ederson, stones, dias, walker, cancelo, gundogan, Bernardo, foden and jesus.

Given the opposition, the schedule and the players we currently have missing there's no need to go any stronger than that although I'm not convinced Pep will think that way. Mix the bench with a few first team and kids so we have both sides covered. We have 5 subs available can bring on the first teamers if required or can rest the first reamers starting if it's comfortable.

Ok but for Ffs !

Kick-off Times Worldwide

A few people have suggested they find the kick-off time listed on top useful to calculate what time the game would be in their region, so I'm adding this little worldwide kick-off times section in Pre-Match threads from now. Do let me know if you find this useful and something to keep or if it's too much and not needed?

EDIT 2: OK, I have ditched the City's flawed map and have built my own from scratch ... I can now add or remove whatever city or timezone we want in here ... so just let me know where you're based (if not already mentioned in the new map above) and I'd happily add your timezone in there. For starters I have just added 20 zones spread out.

I have edited the original post with a new map with correct time zones ... and am now accepting requests for YOUR city if you want it listed in there from now on :)
