If Richardson is indeed ready to play (?), I think you've nailed it with the above lineup!

Looking forward to tonight's game. Nice way to finish one of those pesky Mondays off - have saved some beer from the weekend for the occasion. Won't be going to the ground tho :(

 

As for the result, it could go either way. Personally, I think we've turned a corner and will get all three points.

Falque is being treated like the Second Coming on here.

 

Has he proven anything anywhere yet ?

 

I'm guessing he has massive potential, but is far from the finished article. Which could mean a hat-trick, or it could mean loads of taking it too far and falling over the ball like Dyer/Fernandes/SWP/Ronaldo when he first joined Manyoo.

To be fair, that makes a nice change from becoming the butt of criticism before kicking a ball.

 

I think the optimism surrounding him is based on the fact that Spurs have signed hi permanently and that he has played Spain U21s. All points in the right direction of him being a great addition.

Alpine is treated like a Harbinger on here.

 

Has his scepticism proven anything in the past 18 months?

 

Get behind the Second Coming FFS. :rolleyes:

 

Scepticism ? I thought I was making a balanced comment. Until we see his first game and how well he slots in, its difficult to predict anything.

Any win tonight is a bonus..............simple!

 

Totally agree, next Tuesday against Cardiff is the crucial game to keep that gap between automatic promotion and play-offs to about 4 or 5 points.

Disagree, got to take Brum into consideration now I think. Need to get at least a point this evening,takes a bit of pressure off for the Cardiff game.

Where my team are concerned ? Nope, and I dont try too hard to be, either.

 

Glad you aren't the manager then.

You've just revealed why your opinions are worthless.

He has signed and could figure tonight.

 

How come you need to sign by 12 noon on a friday to play on a saturday but you can sign in the morning on monday and play later that night?

Think he's not great anyway, and doubt he's registered in time to play tonight?

 

40.3 Subject to Regulations 40.4 and 40.5, a Player will only be eligible to play in a match organised by The League if the appropriate forms for his Standard Loan, Emergency Loan, Youth Loan or Emergency Loan of a goalkeeper transfer are received (including by facsimile) and found to be in order by the Executive:

 

40.3.1 in respect of any fixture played on a weekday when the Office is normally open, at least three hours before the match; or

 

40.3.2 in respect of any other fixture:

 

(a) 12 noon on the day of the match; or

 

(b) at least three hours before the match, whichever is the earlier.

A little nervous for tonight, but more excited than trepidation. If we can get through the next 3 games with 2 wins & a draw it will set us up nicely for the big one at West Ham. must admit I'm a bit concerned that Beckford has hit form at the wrong time for us, but we've dealt with him before & I'm sure we can again. It will be a bit of a blow if AL is as feared injured but not insurmountable. 2-1 win for me in a hard fought battle. lets just hope Schmeichel doesn't play as well as he did at Leicester. Lets have a look at Falque he could just surprise the hell out of Leicester & something they were not ready for. If he doesn't come off how we all hope, then we have SDR on the bench.

The start of a massive run of games tonight! Leicester, Cardiff and West Ham in the next three weeks! Hopefully we will prove our promotion credentials.

 

Not to mention Brum away!

 

Wet Spam's next 3 are Ipswich, Millwall and Peterboro. Think we've got the tougher ask...to put it mildly!

 

 

Don't know how many Leicester are bringing but to encourage them, all their fans are being given a free scarf and a voucher for a free drink and pie at the turnstiles tonight. Must have made some arrangements with Saints to do so.

I believe that if the Monday night match has been moved from Saturday to be shown on TV, so there is no advantage, the players for all the weekends matches including the moved match have to be signed by noon on Friday.

I still think we're going to see a drop down the table with these games. 4 unbelievably tough games and quite possible we could fail to win all 4. I just never saw us spending the whole season in the top 2, it never works that simply. I do think we'll go up, but I think it'll be after a serious blip. Our stuttering form didn't see us slip down the table, but this time it will. This place will go mental obviously, it'll be the end of the world rather than temporary decline in form for a sports team. But the quality is there and this team will come through whatever set backs to seal promotion. So long as we're within a win or two of 2nd I'm confident.

 

Without sounding flippant, if all your pre-match predictions had materialised, we's be scrapping against relegation. Its a bed of roses after the game when we've won but I don't think I've read one build up thread where you haven't feared the worse. You make alpine look like he's on a serotonin rush ;)

A lot of folk can be like that (disproportionately those at around about the age of puberty, as another poster suggested).

 

There's nothing wrong with that per se - but people behaving in such a fashion can't reasonably expect to be listened to very much or taken at all seriously.

Hoping i can find a pub in Leigh that will be showing the match and have the commentary on.

 

Just hope the match doesn't coincide with whippet, ferret and pigeon fanciers weekly!!

 

If The Leigh Arms has it on, good omens. Seen 2 matches in there, 4-3 V Spurs and 1-0 v Man Yoo, plus the England 5-1 v Germany. The Snooker Club however has yielded about 4 defeats!! Might try The Old Moonraker the scene of my watching the Valentines 4-2 massacre of Liverpool, but I think it has ben shut down.

 

Decisions decisions decisions - we have Sky but with the in laws living in with us I don't want to hog the TV and lounge all night, and my language might get a bit colourful if we get any dodgy decisions against us!!

 

COYS do yourselves proud on the tellybox for a change.

Packed it in in Dubai then ?? I mean I could understand if it was you living with the in-laws for a while but the other way round

is puzzling.

Behave like a pomppus stuffy old w*nker the entire time if you wish, but I am quite happy at having one vice in life that makes me jump up and down in joy one minute, in anger the next. With a wife and 3.5 kids, a mortgage, and a very stressful job, I think I am entitled to that.

 

Couldnt care less that you dont hang off my every word, Mr. Statto...

Where has the Guly injury come from?

 

Imaginations ?

wouldn't be at all surprised if duff info was being fed out

 

He went off injured in the 70 minute against Nottingham Forest when he pulled something and kept sitting down until taken off.

Didn't look like cramp from where I was, looked like it was linked to the injury he picked up at Brighton.

 

He was trying to stretch it out at first. Most likely just taken off as a precaution.

Just back in UK for 2 weeks - the lure of Leigh in January was just too much for me!!

 

Seeing Mrs EoA who can't travel back to Dubai due to a broken leg is just a bonus!! The in laws live in our house at the moment.

 

Back to normal on Saturday with Dave M and The Matchday fred crew and some Old Specky for company!!

Right, hadn't cottoned on that the broken leg was still ongoing.
