I thought they were mostly Tuesday now and given neither team played on Sunday before surprised it is Wed not Tuesday Think it's completely random, usually from the 12 games there are 6 on Tuesday, 6 on Wednesday (although Sky moved one of the Wednesday ones to the Tuesday for TV)

Bree at RB for me. Hes got a bit more pace than Stephens and it'll be needed against Liam Millar who is very direct and tricky.

Supposedly the accent was West Country and if you listen to it again you can hear the difference. Surprising the suggestiveness of the imagery. https://steepholm.livejournal.com/542986.html? Obviously wasn’t Mike Yarwood doing the accent. Sounded like one of those really boring northern cunts.

Yes, Adams and AA worked well together - plenty of evidence that neither on their own up front is effective. Like to see the THB/Bednarek combination restored and if KWP can’t play, Bree at RB and JS at LB. 5

AlexLaw76 Posted 5 March, 2024 Posted 5 March, 2024 After watching the analysis of the city v united game, I dread what russ-ball will try with Jack Stephen’s. maybe we could make him and inverted CB come winger…. we will need to score at least twice to get anything from this….

They'll be going round in fucking circles once we've shoved it right up 'em. 4-0. Wiltshire is full of Druids so surely they'd be Druid Cunts As for the game it's hard to predict the outcome i think, we probably should've lost to Preston at theirs and their form has been really good the last few games, we have also dropped off a bit and are at the stage where people can figure us out (play wingers and press the backline) which has meant we've reverted to the same style that meant we were losing a lot at the start of the season. Saying that though we've got Downes back who's probably the most important player for the team, Brooks looks good, and hopefully KWP will be fit. If i had to stick my neck out i'd say I think we'll probably get a draw in this but honestly wouldn't be surprised if we lost it too (now watch us go out and smash Preston completely out of a nowhere) 2
igsey Posted 5 March, 2024 Posted 5 March, 2024 If we play our best centre back at centre back, I fancy our chances! 2

Of course not, I’m sure Bednarek doesn’t feel any extra pressure to deliver a performance because of a light show, or Downes eyesight was affected by the lights. Just seems to me we generally play shite after one. Also, it’s Preston at home FFS. Save it for a game if importance if you have to do it, or for our title celebrations..🙃

Harry_SFC Posted 5 March, 2024 Author Posted 5 March, 2024 Sounds like KWP is back in training but won't make the game tomorrow. Bree in for Manning at LB then (hopefully). Guess we will stick with THB at RB.

AlexLaw76 Posted 5 March, 2024 Posted 5 March, 2024 Pre PNE presser The Leicester game being delayed will mean Ryan will 1 game less Hope he will be back for the boro game Kyle back on the grass, PNE probably too early, hopeful for the weekend Been a nice feel in training for a while The players are really focused but have a lot of fun The subs had an impact again and will be really important going forward Rather we win 2-0 but it was fun Watching the performance back, the players did amazing things We must cut out the goals, letting in 3 is just not good enough The amount of chances we had away from home is great, I have real pride in that But we must cut out the other stuff It is about getting players on the pitch who deserve to be there Jack deserves to be on the pitch, and we try to keep him on THB was really comfortable where he is playing, and it is not the reason why we conceded 3 goals Jack was doing things with the ball that was amazing, and if in the premier league would be highlighted There may be games where they may not play, but do not get fixated on formation They are only starting positions and not fixed positions, just depends on the game and the flow It may look different against PNE, and other roles may change, depending on what we feel is the solution What Jack had done just shows the level of football intelligence he has It is up to us to find the solution to get the best team on the pitch I was mad to take Jack out after WBA, I simply over thought it, and he has been brilliant since He was such a leader, he really led the lads at HT on Sat. He is an incredible captain Those who played against Liverpool should have had a goal each at Anfield They look at the starters at the weekend and see them all score, that is what they have to do We are averaging 2 points per game, but it not enough We have 11 games left and we need everyone to play a part We are playing PNE at a really difficult time as they are in a great place at the moment They are really physical, athletic and strong We must continue to start the game well, take risks, run hard, and we have to bring it again Obviously, we have to defend so much better than we have been Have to make sure the game is our terms 7 1

Saint Gifford Posted 5 March, 2024 Posted 5 March, 2024 I know it’s not PNE, but I’ve just noticed our away game at Leicester has been postponed on the 16th March with no new date. When did that happen?. I guess for TV or the magical mystery of the EFL / FA.

I personally think it’s mad to break up the THB/Bednarek pairing that was playing so well before 25 unbeaten when stephens was injured. Not saying he’s the reason we are losing, but we looked very solid and now Martin has messed with it all. if stephens has to play, I’d put him at LB again so we don’t have to watch manning stink the place out. Especially against a physical Preston side. 3
tdmickey3 Posted 5 March, 2024 Posted 5 March, 2024 Its probably over for automatic now. A must win now or its definitely over RM dont fuck about with things, play our best available players in their best position, that doesn't include Manning 2

Oldandtired Posted 5 March, 2024 Posted 5 March, 2024 I think maybe top two has gone now , so maybe that is a bit of pressure off. What would be good now is to relax, play with freedom and expression, and consolidate the play-off place but hone our game so we smash it in those play-offs. 1
AlexLaw76 Posted 6 March, 2024 Posted 6 March, 2024 Drop points here and it is even more over for top 2 1
musesaint Posted 6 March, 2024 Posted 6 March, 2024 We must win this just to stay in touch with those above us. Not an easy game. PNE in good form and just the type of team we find hard to play Russ Ball against.

Cabrone Posted 6 March, 2024 Posted 6 March, 2024 (edited) Well at least they know that they have to win pretty much every game now. No messing around with formations etc - just play the best 11 and let's see how far we get. PNE are decent but I think we will win. Edited 6 March, 2024 by Cabrone 1

Absolutely no rationale for breaking up a decent partnership No it didn't. He had been back 'in contention' and in the team for 7 matches where we conceded a total of 3 goals and was on the bench (unused sub) for Rotherham, Huddersfield and Brizzle, which is when it went wrong, so there is a better argument that it went wrong when he was benched (I don'subscribe to that view but it is more logical than what you wrote). 13 hours ago, madge said: Our run of inconsistent defending started when Stephen’s started being in contention.

Osvaldorama Posted 6 March, 2024 Posted 6 March, 2024 Shoving THB to full back is absolutely criminal. It’s just Martin trying to be too clever tbh. Anyone with eyes can see that our best centre back by a country mile is TBH. Anyone with a brain knows you should put your best players in their best positions Same with not playing Charles as a DM when Downes was out. Cost us points because he’s trying to reinvent the wheel. 1
