The next 8 games should be a good pointer to how we will fare this season.........

only 1 of the games is against a team currently outside the top 10</p>

if we can be in the middle eight after these games we should be OK</p>

You need to stop going to away games

Put the club first.

 

I went an' all

Should have known better. This seasons away record:

P3 W0 D0 L3 F1 A7 Pts0

 

Objective view ?

Missed chances ? Or 2nd half tactics cost us ?</p>

Cannot wait for Saturday. Fcking hell fire.
</p>

 

My predictions:

BFC 0 - 173 Burnley
Forest 292 - 0 BFC
BFC 0 - 811 Reading
Swansea 454 - 0 BFC
Wolves 919 - 0 BFC
BFC 0 - 106 Plymouth
Burnley 472 - 0 BFC
BFC 0 - 388 Preston

Basically - I expect the Reds to concede over 3,500 goals without reply.

I blame Iain Hume for elbowing himself in the head, with a horseshoe.

 

RE: Objective view ?

I didn't like the second half tactics - but on the other hand, you can't blame Simon as apart from one shot that Fozzy cleared off the line there didn't look any way that they would score - if i'd have been betting I'd have said we were slightly more likely to get the winner on the break if anything, so in that regard he was absolutely justified doing what he did, i reckon. If Disco had been playing instead of Mostto i think we might have won.

Good performance though, certainly didn't deserve to lose - i haven't seen the replays but the first goal looked a foul from where we were sitting. Can't play Leon and Mostto together in a four man midfield though like we did in the first half - too lightweight.

 

RE: Objective view ?

nailed on foul and the ball was out, apart from that the goal was all down to Souza. ffs etc.</p>

Last game afore DeSilva's return thankfully. Unless he drops JCR back centrally alongside Colace I can't see him changing anything there. With Whalley back and Devaney fit, it's a possibility though.
</p>

 

RE: Objective view ?

I think he might drop Mostto for Disco or Whaley as he missed two good chances.

 

RE: Objective view ?

owt afore play him as a centre forward.</p>

Be tempted to rest Ode, big lad might not be up to 2 games in 3 days, play Mostto alongside Macken, and try not to play the long ball.
</p>

 

I may be slightly prejudiced since...........

I don't rate KO at this level, but he looked unfit to me on Saturday-on numerous occasions he was just ambling along -occasionally he had a turbocharged run to try and get in touch with the play but overall I thought he was poor-should be dropped tonight IMHO-play Macken and Mossto up front and play the ball to their feet-and keep Leon on the bench as well until he learns to tackle!
