As long as we play on the front foot and chase them and put them under pressure and have more intent than, certainly the game against Plymouth then I'll be happy and with a loud crowd I could see us winning.

100% agree we MUST be on the front foot from the off . Dropping back will encourage them .Anyway we play much better on the front foot .Being on the back foot got us no where against Leeds and Boro ,we just can not play like that .

 

[Boxer Blade]

Also, after the last game I would suggest we win the toss

 

[Grizzly blade]

We will have to be right at our best today from minute 1. Burnley will get chances.

Strikers will be the decider today, if we repeat recent games and struggle to keep the ball up there it’s going to be a very long game.
Their wide players are pretty strong and will cause us some big problems, especially down our right.

A loss won’t be the end of the world for us, but will be huge for them and in turn may send them on a run of wins. We win…well it’s huge in setting a marker for Leeds and will put the pressure back on them as they enter “falling apart” time of year for them.

 

[Bell4]

Think we might have drawn at Rotherham

Lost 3-1

1st v 3rd, wouldve preferred someone 'easier' on boxing day. but what a huge game & will be nice welcome Egan back. hopefully he remembers to go into the correct dressing room

Id be lying if I wasnt hoping for a bit of revenge for the 5-0 last December

[Jimmy Fleck]

1-0 Burnley.

 

[John Cutsbushes]

No Rak-Sakyi??

 

[thehet]

1-0 Burnley.

Robbo blunder

 

[bakeblade]

No Rak-Sakyi??

Interesting that Brooks doesn't come straight in for him

 

[Corkblade]

No Rak-Sakyi??

He's been poor in the last few game's, giving him a break could be what's needed

 

[bakeblade]

Giving him a break shouldn't mean leaving him out of the squad

 

[toledo]

This is a great opportunity for Brewster …

 

[GlosBlade]

No Rak-Sakyi??

Injured? Being rested ? Or going back? He hasn’t been playing well for a little while, hopefully it’s just giving him a break while he gets his mojo back.

 

[Uganda Blade]

Brewster on the right or left of the three?

 

[bonobo]

I don't think it is such a shock Rak-Sakyi is out and doubt it would mean he is going back. He has been struggling for form and for this game there is heightened need for some solidity. Plus players will need to be rotated through the next month and Rak-Sakyi has been playing week in and week out and Brewster is showing signs of confidence and form. If we are chasing a goal or defending on, Rak-Sakyi can be a great asset off the bench. I would like to see OHare on the right of of 3, but suspect it will be Brewster.

Some talk in the shoutbox Campbell did his hamstring and could be done for the season. Thinking that's bollocks personally, didn't Wilder say he had a back problem?

Wouldnt believe a word wilder says re injuries tbf

 

[Fatlad666]

3-0 win

 

[toledo]

JRS is sick apparently

 

[Cappy]

Warming up with Brewster in 10. O’Hare on RW

 

[BarcaBlade]

This first shit is the most tedious boring aspect of this forum
Merry Xmas

Maybe the automatic offence-ometer can be tweaked by Foxy/Linz so that the word 'first' gets a rating. Like 'Scunthorpe' back in the old mirc days.

Lower back, top of hammy
Lets hope the rumours are false
Had a few injuries the lad

 

[JayGreen17]

Strong bench, Davies will be influential

 

[Thrice]

Honestly completely forgot that Egan plays for them now. A return for him today.

Dodgy team but imbecilic tactics are the main problem today. Although wrote the following before I noticed Jesus was missing.
ATTACK WIDE (defend narrow) !???? is the the old wisdom.
Ohare should NOT be starting. No quality
Do you want them to go and win a game like hecky last time in Chumpionship or 'pass and control' as Ignorance is Strength All hail Big Belly says - or as I call it piss about at the back encouraging the opponents and taking huge risks?
Do you want to lose the game because a defender falls over (as Robinson last week) and they take advantage and score?
Do you want Gilchrist outnumbered as Jesus cannot defend on his wrong side?
Do toy want to waste top players like Hamer and Jesus by severly restricting them playing in their worst positions of left right or central?
Do you want moronic Wilder signing Brewster to get shooting opportunities from good wide play or be useless with no service?
DESPERATELY want us to win next two home games and not lose at Sunderland to limit the damage this imbecile will do bringing in journeymen and destroy our season when we have a squad to win this P poor division.​

[SB_90]

[SUFCinks]

Might be one of the mist boring halves of football i’ve ever watched. 45mins of averageness.

 

[drblade]

Ffs

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Gilchrist way out of position for that
