[Snowflake]

I have some concerns about this ref, but cannot remember exactly what.
When did we last have him at BL ?

 

[robbiez666]

3 very winnable games left in March. Need to take 7 points really.

First-ish!

3 very winnable games left in March. Need to take 7 points really.

Am also hoping for “Lucky 7”. Cov is the last game I’ll see in this 3 game trip after Forest and Boro so a win would make it a nice 7 point trip. Which would be much better than the last 3 pack of Blackpool (H), Forest (A) and (then the debacle at) Blackburn (A) that I was here for. Hecky needs to play his strongest team though for the next 3 games pre intl break and they can recharge after. Whenever he’s tried to rest players it’s not usually gone well (thinking particularly Billy here)

 

[Harry's Game]

The games keep coming, after the emotion draining game of last Tuesday I would not have been too disappointed if this had been the International break week.

See this being a tough physical slog a bit like the Milwall game but hopefully with a different outcome. Win would be great but take a draw.

I wouldn't worry. They've been dreadful every game this season

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Can see this bring similar to the Millwall game, a few changes and the same result.

with the international break we have to go full tilt with the best team, they can rest after.

 

[Granada Blade]

just found out Bournemouth haven't beaten Derby since 1985. let's hope that run continues today, as well as a blades win

We haven’t had him since 2018/19, he reffed Swansea and WBA at home, we lost both 2-1. Didn’t give any cards v Swansea and just one yellow in the game v WBA.

Last reffed us away at Brentford in 2018, sent off Jamal Blackman and a Brentford player (was it Ryan Woods?) for a bit of handbags. Seem to think neither deserved to walk but from that terrace at Brentford’s old ground looks can be deceiving.

Today is the 12th.

Game was on the 11th, last night, he meant 'Friday' .
We won 4-0 McB hat trick, and LOW scored a penalty in 97th.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

147 years since we last drew at Tranmere.

Cornish pasty was average at best.

 

[sheff_blade90]

Huge week coming up we get 7-9pts & we could be up in 3rd or 4th depending on what happens between Bournemouth & huddersfield

 

[BigBed]

Young Wilder lookalike at the game today...top lad.

 

[Argentinemanager]

Remember if your going dont forget your whistles and tennis balls, only when they attack

Could swear this kid is from a meme somewhere!

 

[Need4speed]

Kasper recalled from Southend Does this signal other problems at CB

 

[jono_t2000]

 

[Need4speed]

We are running out of CBs

 

[robbiez666]

The bench is looking a bit thin. Or our £18 million bench!

No senior cover in midfield or defence. Going to be really important how the defence can hold up again.

 

[bakeblade]

Wonder what's up with Davies, personal or injury problems?

 

[varkanoid]

(optimistic glasses on) We are getting a bit thin on the ground, we need that no.2 spot if we go up or we wont have enough senior players for the playoffs. (optimistic glasses off)

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Wonder what's up with Davies, personal or injury problems?

Don’t know the answer to this but I did see him run straight off down the tunnel (via a handshake and quick word with Hecky) at full time on Tuesday night.

 

[John Cutsbushes]

Take a draw now
Fear the worst with Gordon back in
Millwall repeat?

 

[bakeblade]

Don’t know the answer to this but I did see him run straight off down the tunnel (via a handshake and quick word with Hecky) at full time on Tuesday night.

He just doesn't seem to be able to put a run of games for us together

 

[Middle Aged Blade]

We are running out of CBs

McBurnie? Although might need some men’s shin pads!!

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Makes you wonder whether that daft trip to Gibraltar, the isolating and lack of friendlies after and being unable to play throughout December is going to do for us come the end of the season.
