Given the first friendly is only four weeks away, and despite the Euros, we can’t be far away from returning to pre-season training, can we? Anyone know a return date? 

It's normally about six weeks before the first league game isn't it? So 5th July.

Yes, normally at the start of July. We will likely be missing Kasper, Youri, Dennis, Castagne (but due to injury), Justin (injury), Soyuncu (probably only for 1 week to allow him some extra rest), Ward. Have I missed anyone else?

 

Not as bad as some of the PL teams, will be important to start the season on the front foot again and make the lack of rest/pre-season from other clubs count.

 

Other than our GK position, we will be able to field a good set of players right from the start.

I'd give Tielemans a proper rest, six weeks or so, before coming back. I know he'll miss a couple of games but he needs a real break. Hopefully Soumare comes in and hits the ground running.

What did you do?

 

Was it much ado about nothing? 

A Comedy of Errors more likely.

 

(this could go on for a while)

 

Break a leg.

No chance of that happening. He'll get 3 weeks off and be back a week or two before the Community Shield match. On top of that, he seems a player who stays fit by playing, not resting.

Wonder who our big(ish) European opponents will be for the final pre season game

Well we were due to be playing Nantes and... Udinese (yes shock horror) but both have been cancelled now so guess a lot of clubs might find the same happening to their games v overseas opposition?:

 

We've got Barnsley and Palace instead.

Palace? Seems unusual to be playing a league rival (outside of a money spinning mini cup)

Playing for the Bass Vase when we play Burton Albion

 

Basically Burton play a friendly every year against usually another midlands team to raise funds for local charities and hopsitals

 

Last time we played was 1982, we won 3-2

Yes - it's on the 7th when the EFL kick-off so probably had no-one else to play!

 

Won't be rushing to Selhurst Park for that one.

I guess that makes sense. But they’ve got to be one of your biggest rivals so I’m surprised either side wanted to do it but I guess it’s what’s available. 
 

we played villa before the lockdown opened up but they were at the opposite end of the table at the time

Well yes it can be quite a competitive game tbh!

 

Zaha gets a lot of stick and we try to kick him....

 

We have quite a few mid-tablish/bottom of the table sides quite early on though like Villa, Brighton, Norwich, Wolves, Newcastle and  Spurs (ha ha) so probably the only ones left.

 

And I doubt one of the top teams would want to play us and we wouldn't want to play them either I suspect!
