They separated into two groups , 1 of 10 and one of 15.The 10 practiced with the yellow premier league ball and the others with the Europa ball which suggests the 10 won't be involved tomorrow.In that 10 were Tevez and Mario but also Abdul Razzak/MJ and I think maybe Assulin.I heard on SSN that the expected front two v Juve were Ade and Jo but neither has trained this week and I think Ade is still injured ( foot injury). It wouldn't surprise me if Nimley got a game v Juve. He was certainly out early and practicing his ball skills for some 10 minutes before others arrived.

The 15 played a pass and move game with both Kidd and Platt watching closely [highlight]whilst the 10 had a 6 a side game[/highlight]at the far end from me.As I said all quite low key.

Are you a big fan mate? Or is just because he's academy/future of the club/local lad/worldbeater etc etc? Last time I saw him he was a bit lightweight, but maybe it is the right time to give him another run out.

Then again maybe he'll be at Chesterfield in 12 months?

I think Jo will be upfront on his own to be homest and it will be one of the most boring draws ever seen by City fans, leaving us top of the group!!

I think the last time I saw Nimely play was on the preseason tour. He didn't look half bad. I wouldn't mind seeing him get a run out.

I'm a big fan of playing people who are up to the job. If Bobby thinks he's up to it, fine by me. But how many times have we 'given kids a run-out' in the past and fallen on our arse?
