All pre-season fixtures
Just what I was thinking, even County weren't losing 5-0 every week when they had to field what seemed to be a bunch of parks players. I can't think of any side in the Football League that have got hammered (out on the pitch that is :hehe:) every week.

If the assembled squad starts getting hammered 5-0 every game, as is quite a possibility to be frank and realistic, then it won’t take Sri Vincent Tan long to start losing most of his considerable investment.
He’s not daft, so what’s happening here ?
Is he perhaps balancing the books as much as possible and minimising further investment because he’s already agreed a deal with someone. I know that a big deal on this fell over a little while back, so maybe this explains recent developments?
5 nil hammering every game?
Stop being a drama queen

Well you know it’s not an unreasonable fear.
Of course I hope this squad can work , and it’s possible. Thing we risk ignoring though is that there are a LOT of unproven and very young players and IF they can’t manage then there’s no Plan B. We can’t buy anyone till January and it’s not as if we’ve taken the precaution of hanging on to players like Sol and Junior Hoilett etc who could have stepped in to halt any meltdown.
This is like a long road trip without a spare tyre.

Judging from responses so far, no-one else has such a fear.

Who are the “very young” players you expect to be in the starting line up next week? It looks like Bagan will be, but who else? Giles is only twenty, but played a season in the Championship last year. After years of giving young players no chance at all, City have become like nearly every other club in that they have a core of four or five young pros who might see some first team action if we’re nit by injuries, illness and/or suspensions.
A fit Tomlin playing like he did the tail end of the season before last had far more impact than Harry Wilson, I like the club bringing through youth rather than wasting huge sums on madines or glatzels….he can’t keep bank rolling us to the tune he has.
he didn't have far more impact, he's about the same for goal involvements, and Wilson will probably do it again this season whereas Tomlin is good once in a blue moon.
Tomlin is a big downgrade from Wilson
Don’t KNOW it at all in fairness. I read it in the Malaysian press whilst trying to trawl for details and background about the new financial guy they’d appointed.
According to that the deal included ALL the football clubs he owned. Now it SEEMED like a credible financial newspaper, but of course you’re right it might have been the Malay version of the Sun.
