A big game for #NCFC for a variety of reasons. Some surprising omissions from that line-up, but looks like one that Liam Manning is trying to control the game with. Let’s see if he succeeds.

A real test of where #NCFC are coming up at the CBS. Probably their toughest test to date, but if they can get a win then it’ll be a big statement.

#NCFC have completed the signing of Pelle Mattsson from Silkeborg for an initial £2.7m, rising to £3m. Someone they’ve tracked for a long while and moved quickly back to with Marcelino Núñez joining Ipswich. Mattsson signs a three-year deal with a club option.

There it is. Confirmation of perhaps the most controversial #NCFC transfer story in recent memory. Hard to argue with the £10m fee, but there will still be many City fans who will feel that Ben Knapper shouldn’t have picked up the phone. Will be an interesting reunion.

All set at Colney for Liam Manning’s pre-Blackburn press conference. All the usual topics to be covered in video and written form on the Pink Un app. #NCFC

Should be an interesting one tonight. Plenty of exciting players, particularly in that forward line, and a chance for #NCFC to get a first home win without much pressure. A good test for many of the players on the fringes of Liam Manning’s squad.

Back at Carrow Road ahead of what should be a good test of where #NCFC are. A couple of decent performances on the road, but whether they can back it up today will tell us a lot about their promotion credentials.

Very positive feeling around #NCFC as we leave Fratton Park. There was a real spring in the step of the club’s staff, players and head coach on the way out. Still some issues to sort out, but they’ve proven in the last week that they can now mix it up away from home.

Arrived at Fratton Park ahead of #NCFC’s first Championship away game of the season. Not an easy place to start, but you’d like to think the squad/head coach they’ve got now gives them a better chance on the road. Vibes good after Tuesday.

🟢 Wouldn’t rule anything out transfer-wise but happy with squad as is
🟡 Praise for Emiliano Marcondes and Oscar Schwartau as well as Papa Diallo

The good thing about doing the verdict is that I don’t have to summarise things into 280 characters.
So here are thousands of words of my thoughts on last night’s #NCFC game. Most of them are positive 👉 www.youtube.com/live/_1NsJKP...

Slightly surprised to see #NCFC beaten so easily twice after what we saw in pre-season, but today just goes to show how different a beast the Championship is. Chance creation also needs working on, but in the first 20 minutes City showed how good they can be.
