Dronowl66 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Genuinely confident we pick up 3 points here , yes it will be tough but the side picks itself with Famewo back in a back 3 Palmer to RWB , only question is Gregory or Smith up front . With our midfield 3 I think we have too much for them . Apparently Evans has been big for them this season and he is tipped to miss out , there form has ( apparently ) dipped since he had an injury and came back not quite the same player .

KrolMong Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I agree that this is the bigger game. I think we will need to stand up to a proper onslaught for 20 or 30 mins, these are very good at keeping the ball. But, if we weather it, then I think that we might win. What would be better still is if our midfield three dominate the ball and we get some link up between Bannan, Byers and Windass. A point/three points would be a great outcome with the two home games and the game in hand. We have 54 points to play for, if we can get 13 more wins from a possible 18, that will see us up - potentially as Champions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve have us and Plymouth just over 2 points a game, and Derby and Ipswich just under. It’s not inconceivable that we end up with four teams around the 90 point mark. I do think that us beating Ipswich gives us a high probability of Automatic. What would guarantee the title would be wins against Barnsley and Bolton, and not losing at Portsmouth and Charlton.

Hirst Jnr was lured by the upfront payments of the car and the bling and also badly advised by people who wanted to make money, both out of him and through him. If he'd have stayed I doubt he would have been playing regularly the following season or even the season after that. He was about fifth or sixth in line but he did turn down at least one loan move that could have shown how good he was and possibly moved him up.

Nah confidence will still be bubbling, we are made of stronger stuff collectively. Ipswich have been out of sorts since they twice blew 2 goal leads at Charlton, fans questioning the man who they believed walked on water barely 3 months prior, can't string back to back wins together, dropping points late in games and a bloated squad with perhaps too many options. They, for me, remind me of us last year. The battle is won or lost in midfield for me in this one, Morsy is a snidey dirty get so we should use that and wind him up, Chaplin will cause problems if allowed.

That Ips v Cha game was fantastic for us, especially the circumstances. The day we went past Ipswich at last I read a Twitter conversation that was between fans of us, them n Plymouth. One Ips lad in particular said that now we'd gone past them they would drop away because they couldn't buy goals. That they were dominating games, having all of the possession but not scoring. Their fans really were on a downer. It would be nice if he was right this Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said further up, remind me of us last year with missing chances to put teams away and then getting stung late on. They've outscored us by 6 goals but let in 11 more, our ability to win 1 nil is a contrast to much of my time watching us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Some pre match comments from DM. Disappointingly, Callum Paterson's injury will mean a lengthy lay off for him. "It's a blow, if we see him back it will be towards the end of the season." "All we can do is prepare as best we can for tomorrow. "The players know they will have to be at their best to get a positive result tomorrow. "We go into it with a positive mindset, and we have to look to build." "Reece James is 50/50 for tomorrow. "He's trained and is ahead of schedule, we're pleased to have him back. "To have him back available will give us more options." "When we have played games, it's very important that as a team we show that togetherness to get clean sheets. "We know the defence will get the plaudits but it is a team effort." "The best way to be, for me, is to enjoy the occasion and enjoy the magnitude of the games. "We've got two good teams going head to head tomorrow and both sides have an attacking prowess." "We have to shuffle the pack again with Pato being out, but now it's a chance for someone else to come in. "Pato has accepted it and been positive and we wish him a very speedy recovery."

owl71 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Think we’ll just grind out another 1-0. We’ll probably let them have the ball for spells. Tbh, a side that lack a bit of cutting edge, in front of an anxious home crowd, in a game we can afford to draw, or even lose, sounds perfect. Fuck em.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Sounds like no Gregory in the squad, unwell with man flu. Not that I was expecting him to start, that will be Windass and Smith.

TommyCraig Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Hmnnn. Nervous about this one, our run could come to an end today. I think a lot of Wednesday are feeling the same. We're not scoring the number of goals away from home that our XG suggests apparently, whatever the fuck that is. So it seems someone is due a complete shafting. Hope its these bumpkin that cop for it. Just the 4-0 to us then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
