Who will be on the plane for Thursdays far away game?
I think Jorgenson, Tosin, Chuka, KDH, Guiu and Veiga. After that I assume it will be academy players.
Anyway, it will be interesting and unusual to be playing a game at the reported -20c. JT would have still worn a short sleeve shirt.

Yes and JT might well have taken said short sleeved shirt off and waved it at the very small number of CFC fans at the game.

I understand why that game is being played at 3:30 pm but why is the Brentford match scheduled for 7:00 pm on a Sunday?

Jimbo the KO time for the Brentford game is a Joke. I will be at the match and I’m not happy.
I do appreciate the journey times involved are difficult for the players and I also understand that the authorities had know way of knowing that we are likely to play a majority of academy players.

But also its not as if they've postponed the game by a day or more which could have helped recovery time but by only a couple of hours. Are there tv/ commercial considerations outside of the UK at stake? can't see that it helps even any CFC players who had made the trip to Astana - and then might be on subs bench on Sunday - recover. Mad decision.

Tom, you will be happy if we win ? I would like a few academy players to start not just get a few minutes at the end.

JBS, I could understand it if it was moved to Monday.
I should have added Disasi to my list of players who I think will start on Thursday. So about Seven senior ish play and the remainder academy players. I would even ask the majority to travel to the game on Thursday.
Jimbo, I will be happy if we win on Thursday but stratum not optimistic about Sunday. In recent times Brentford have caused us a lot of problems. I think it will be a lot harder than the spuds game. I suppose the league positions dictates that anyway.
