HoylandOwl Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 First up… the shrews have been spoiling the pitch ahead of our visit. Quote
MAL Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 Big mistake by them then. Most of the time our players try and control the ball and fail miserably, this time it will not be there as it will have had an awkward bounce and bobble... So they will now be controlling it with ease, when it bounce up onto their foot in the correct place. 😄 Quote
HoylandOwl Posted April 28, 2023 Author Posted April 28, 2023 Our officials this weekend… Ref: DEAN WHITESTONE Assistants: Lee Venamore and Andrew Aylott Fourth Official : Darren Handley Our ref this weekend has officiated 34 games, showing 100 yellow cards and only 3 players were dismissed by him. Last time he reffed us…. Our 0-0 draw with Derby back in December. He cautioned two players, both on the home side. The last game he reffed….Was over in S2 a few nights ago. Head to Head record v Shrewsbury Wednesday wins. 4 Draws. 13 Shrews wins. 7 Last time out at whatever sponsor the new meadow has these days. Quote
HoylandOwl Posted April 28, 2023 Author Posted April 28, 2023 DM has confirmed. Wilks and Famewo, done for the season through injury. Quote

Andyben Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 If we do finish with 96 points and don't go up there's no justice. JFT96 1 1 1 Quote

Famewo has missed 20 games this season, plus another 5. And when he has been available and got involved. He's probably played a positive part in no more than 10 at MOST of those games. He's got the ability, but.... Far from effective enough. Quote

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 Be interesting to see those available stats for a few others eg Byers, Windass. Quote
Andyben Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 Just look at results from Bolton onwards. Shows all you need to know Quote

Byers, by the end of the season will have been unavailable for 22 games. Windass has so far missed 10 league games. Ihiekwe has missed 23 games. Heneghan has missed 33 games, but will be 35/38. James has missed 13 games, and potentially 2 more. In other words, we have a load of crocks and cripples who can’t do 40 games a season. Quote

HappyOwl Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 The best case scenario for us today is a win and top two lose its 250/1 on bet 365 got to be worth a quid on that surely 😩😩 Quote
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 We actually have the toughest fixture. Really can't see Ipswich or Plymouth messing up unless they get a proper case of the jitters. The fact they have 2 shots at this will help in that respect. Shrewsbury are a real bogey side Quote
KrolMong Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 It might sound silly this. But we need to play today with our eye on the results. If we get to 55 minutes, and we see that Ipswich and Plymouth are home and dry, I am subbing all the key players. So that means, Bannan and Vaulks, Smith, Johnson and probably Flint. They won’t kick another ball until the playoffs. 3 Quote
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 The question then becomes do you want to finish 3rd or 4th. Not sure it makes a jot of difference to our chances, other than we ain't done so well playing the 2nd leg at home and that will be the case anyway Dingles are down here in MK Quote

HoylandOwl Posted April 29, 2023 Author Posted April 29, 2023 We’re playing in pink today….. last season’s away kit.. due to kit clash. Quote

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 It seems to me our season went to shit the day Chansiri stood up in the directors box and waved the flag. Clearly not cause and effect, but my superstitious belief if we ever get ahead of ourselves it invariably goes tits up. The only celebration we should have is when we mathematically avoid relegation each season 1 Quote
HarrySpeakup Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 Isn't there rules about playing weekened sides - especially as Derby are involved in stuff If there isn't they will invent one and deduct us enough points to finish 7th or even into the bottom four Quote
HoylandOwl Posted April 29, 2023 Author Posted April 29, 2023 Shipston and Durrant have been in the matchday squad frequently, recently…. So…. Quote

In fact, my last season living in Sheffield was 96/97 when we finished 7th in the PL... But I'm not moving back Edited April 29, 2023 by Andyben Quote
Tylluan Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Unless Paterson is playing centre mid, or wing back, then I'm only seeing 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 Edited April 29, 2023 by Tylluan Quote
HoylandOwl Posted April 29, 2023 Author Posted April 29, 2023 KINNELLLLLL Losing faith or not, I couldn't do that. Quote
KrolMong Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 When I lived in England, and was going home and away every week, I would bet on Wednesday the lose and United to win as a double in either a bookie on Hillsborough corner, or, a bookie on the way to an away ground. A tenner at a time, sadly I made more than I lost. Quote
owl71 Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 Good news Josh Windass being on the bench. He’s a match winner, and without being defeatist, there is a chance we won’t make automatic… Quote
