Don’t understand how you can bench Holding after his midweek performance. He would have been one of the first names on the team sheet for me. Feel like playing Robinson in this game will cost us.

Robinson is a liability.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Feel like the kid on Willy Wonka finding the gold ticket in a chocolate bar getting here for this one - hopefully with the sweet aftertaste.

 

[JayGreen17]

Of course Souza isn’t fit…. Massive loss incoming

 

[espoo blade]

Good to hear Billy on co-comms today!

 

[Sheffsteel]

Souza out is a huge hole in midfield that someone needs to step up and fill….

Agree… and the problem is the Choudhury- Peck partnership looked really poor in the last match.

Wilder again playing games regards fitness updates. For all we know Souza could be out for the season.

Sereki is usually a brilliant impact sub but hasn’t been convincing when starting.

Also the Holding looked impressive in the last match and he’s dropped.

Doesn’t exactly fill you with optimism. Also makes you wonder if there’s something wrong as the club as half the squad have had injury spells meaning very few are 100% fit.

 

[FriethBlade]

Our odds are out to 3.2.on betfair after the team news

[The Crab]

Brewster hat trick

To paraphrase Les Dennis, if that happens I’ll give you the money myself…

 

[Cappy]

Warming up LW: Hamer, RW: BBD, 10: Brewster

 

[The Crab]

Robinson is a liability.

I’ve got reservations about him, ref is gonna be on him like a seagull on a tray of chips, and they’ll be in his ear

Cheers Robbie.

[Blackheath Blade]

Still the same old dump

 

[espoo blade]

Warming up LW: Hamer, RW: BBD, 10: Brewster

Just showed Hamer practising free-kicks!

 

[Nick Jansky]

Apart from Charles, Bannan & Gassama theirs looks like a League One team. Our players are far superior. There’s fuck all to fear as long as we play the game rather than the occasion.

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

No O Hare in team is a right head scratcher

 

[Pintor75]

Take it to them from the start, no messing about UTB

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Need a Boro performance and will be an easy 3 points. A brizzle city performance and you won't want to go to work on Monday.

 

[Shadota]

If that ends up being the case, I don't understand why he's dicking about with tactics again.

Play to our strengths, try and actually keep the ball, and let them worry about us.

I can see us giving up the ball a lot, chasing shadows, exhausting our players, injuries, as per usual. Just keep the ball!

I'm inclined to think the tactic hasn't changed, but if it is a 433, that is not a drastic switch away from the 4231 we have been adopting. Just one player being slightly repositioned to have better ability at retaining possession in midfield.

That's something we've been poor at a lot this season. If we can keep the ball better, we can push them back more, perhaps creating more chances for ourselves, and denying them for the opposition in the process.

Just showed our stand, have they not sold restricted view tickets as some big gaps diagonal to the stantions

 

[Pintor75]

Nearly ko time , the Wolves song is on

 

[FriethBlade]

Their pitch is a disgrace, looks like a ploughed field

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

All over shop

 

[gooseh]

This isn't how I imagined the first 10 mins to be

 

[DaddyDozy]

What a save!

 

[jaybee]

Seriki can’t defend for shit… we don’t seem to have a competent right back at the club - Gilchrist is only one that can defend a bit in that role

 

[gooseh]

Take it to them from the start, no messing about UTB

I think Rohl intercepted your advice

 

[drblade]

Signing of the season, Cooper.

UTB. Come ONNN

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Good to see the Peck and Choudhury combo is working......holy bollocks
