Crewe are you - Match Thread

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Well in case we have all forgotten, there is a match this evening. The only good news about it being moved is it enabled me to do a lot of gardening yesterday. my lawn looks decent compared to our pitch 

the key tonight is the right attitude, no slacking off or thinking we can just turn up to win. They can play with no pressure on them, but we just need to be at them and make em play the 2nd half with their flip flops on thinking about some slappers in Magaluf 

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Bit of patience required tonight - probably more from the crowd than the players.

Whats the news on the fitness of Dean, Luongo and Hutch ? 

Would possibly bring NML in for Hunt tonight. 

[Mark]

It would be the most Wednesday thing ever to lose tonight..... 

But we won't 🤞

[owl4ever1867]

Feel like Wednesday have missed a trick here, it's half term, personally I would've made it £10 adults, £5 kids tonight, get Hillsborough full & make it an extra man tonight against Crewe.

It won't go all our own way, they will set up with 11 men behind the ball so patience is needed, still think we'll go on & win 2-0.

Gregory 

Berahino 

UTO!

Gotta feeling they won’t as they’re already relegated so they’ve nowt to lose. But we’ll see 

 

agree about cheap tickets

They have already said they will be less gung ho than v Wimbledon but will stay compact and try and catch us on turnover of the ball

[lobster]

I would start with the same team dependeding on injuries Dean being the main concern , though Storey seemed to get a knock towards the  end . Hopefully get a decent lead and rest a few

Don't think our crowd changes a massive amount with the offer of cheap tickets, especially for a Tuesday night game.  

Crowd will be about 5K down on what it would have been yesterday. 

Only half term in Mini Pig and Dingle land. 

[owl4ever1867]

Fell asleep earlier - dreamt we won 4-0.

I'll take that!

[HoylandOwl]

A win. Ideally by more than two please

[owl4ever1867]

442? I'm trying to work out that formation unless it's : 

BPF 

Hunt

Storey 

Palmer

NML

Byers

Bannan 

Paterson 

Gregory 

Berahino 

Very harsh on Dele Bashiru to be dropped after that performance at MK imo.

[KrolMong]

That’s a bit too much tinkering. He’s got one centre half, with Palmer and Johnson/Paterson as the other centre half. 

All the more puzzling with two central midfield players, a winger and two centre halves on the bench. It’s almost as if he’s not wanting to defend at all tonight 

[Tylluan]

Johnson will drop into a 3 man defence and NML will play wing back. 

The dropping of FDB is shocking. 

If that team doesn't gel tonight then it can only fall on Moore

You've missed Johnson out there pal. I reckon 352 wih mj in back 3, Pato in midfield. Harsh on FDB but he's fasting I believe. 2 games in 3 days might be too much for him. 

[M42Owl]

FDB rested after his first 90 mins for ages.

Dunkley is the one I don’t understand. Dropping him disrupts the entire back line and the left side.

[Andyben]

Moore out 

[Laceups]

Well one thing is for sure. The oppo’s managers can never guess who we’re gonna play and what formation 🙄

This. If it was Mass 4 FDJ fair enough but not this. Two full backs at central defence, and two central defender's on bench! No, Darren, no

FDB😉

Mane and Salah are both observing but have only missed one match each since the start of Ramadan.

Thing is, if it affects your job then you can get dispensation to eat at certain times. Just ask the taxi drivers

Just a word of caution. None of us know who's been ill or is carrying a knock. 

Then Moore needs to release a presser when the team is announced to stop the speculation. I'm not there but I can imagine the murmurings within the crowd. It already gets us off thinking WTF

[JBO]

Crewe's goalie 😲

[Mark]

I'd forgotten about Ramadan re FDB, it's a fair point. Although I believe he can eat after sunset, which, if he hasn't eaten during day light hours, would give him an immediate boost of energy

You defend Moore every fucking time.

Is Carlos back already 

[cheat]

Well, that is an odd line up.

All the talk on tinkering, was, I thought, just that. Talk. He’s been quoted as saying he’ll rotate but then pretty much kept the same line up. I was confident that there would not be any major changes for tonight. Obviously I was wrong.

Got to make sure the side delivers now.

It certainly is an odd line up. I still think we’ll have too much up top (or “up the front” as someone on radio Sheffield insists on saying) for them. Hopefully we won’t need to worry too much about the back 3

CBA watching it now.

 

Play a full strength team put 7 or 8 past them

 

BPF

Storey Dunk Gibson

Hunt Bannan Byers FDB Johnson 

Berahino Gregory 

 

 

 

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

No real clue from the defender warm up

That selection appears to make a mockery of this.

"We have everything to play for and our sights are on maintaining our rhythm and focus" 

where's the maintaining of rhythm in that selection?

I hope to God this comes off or him and us are fucked

Burton 1 - 0 Rotherham

[LiamOwl]

It’s on

[Kiwi Owl]

That should be 1-0 there from Berahino

Ball not bouncing up like it did, I'm certain it would be

[Kiwi Owl]

Could say the Laing save rebound as well should have had better contact from Saido

[Kiwi Owl]

And another ball doesn't fall nicely for us there with Gregory

Possibly should be 2 or 3 up already.

 

[Chelters]

If Gregory had gone down then we’d have had a penalty and probably Crewe down to ten men. Too honest. 

[HoylandOwl]

Wasn't a foul.

[Chelters]

Bannan seems to have reverted to trying to play his quarterback role. 

[Kiwi Owl]

Going back to the football I despise

Mistakes coming n as well

[Chelters]

Very similar to the Accrington game this. Missed 3 easy chances early on and now it’s all too pedestrian and forced. 

[HoylandOwl]

This is just so cumbersome and meh...

[MAL]

Ipswich 0 - 1 Wigan
