Draw please

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Play the Berlin defence and offer a draw around move 20. Carrick strikes me as an e4 player.

 

[Frostie]

Kickoff 15mins late & pass the ball around the centre circle for 90mins.

I might just be able to cope with that!

[NortonSkyBlue]

the game is on the Monday

 

[Pezza]

Dijksteel just sent off for Boro, that's him out of our game.

 

[Ross1247]

Agent Stroud doing his work few more red cards Keith...

 

[fatso]

Dijksteel just sent off for Boro, that's him out of our game.

No great loss to them, he's only a squad player.

 

[Ashdown]

Stroud, what a prick, we wouldn’t be worried about this game if he weren’t such a bottler

 

[skybluetony176]

Kickoff 15mins late & pass the ball around the centre circle for 90mins.

Got to be a better plan than kicking off 3 days early. Which is apparently the current plan

 

[Covcraig@bury]

3-1 the city .15 minutes delay because we can’t get JH’s coffin in the ground

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

We’re capable of beating them on current form and with the injuries they have, but they’re also more than capable of sticking a few past us if they click. Hopefully they’re not that arsed as we have two proper contests with them in the play-offs.

 

[robbiethemole]

there's quite a lot of unhappy smoggies on there today, they're concerned about losing form just now and lots who think it'll be them and Luton in the final.
Their form is shite, and we shouldn't be worried by them, Robins is better at mid games than Carrick and our lads will be fired up for this

 

[Astute]

No great loss to them, he's only a squad player.

Not a squad player. Been out injured for the majority of the season.

 

[robbiethemole]

isn't it on Monday the 8th??

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Dijksteel just sent off for Boro, that's him out of our game.

Does his 3 game ban carry over to play offs.

 

[Evo1883]

Will he play the box or 2 up .. can't see us playing 2 up

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Will he play the box or 2 up .. can't see us playing 2 up

Allen might or might not be fit enough to start, and even if he is I don’t know who else you put alongside him.

 

[Evo1883]

Play allen infront of the 3 behind the front man , drop into a 4 when defending

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Play allen infront of the 3 behind the front man , drop into a 4 when defending

That requires Sheaf to be fit

 

[Evo1883]

That requires Sheaf to be fit

How? We play hamer Kelly Eccles

 

[PVA]

That requires Sheaf to be fit

Kelly, Hamer, Eccles

Edit: beaten to it

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

How? We play hamer Kelly Eccles

Kelly, Hamer, Eccles

Edit: beaten to it

I keep forgetting Kelly ignore me

 

[Astute]

Does his 3 game ban carry over to play offs.

Yes. All the same season.

 

[Astute]

I keep forgetting Kelly ignore me

Who said that?

 

[Evo1883]

I have to stick with recent predictions ( superstition )

I've said all along to my dad ,I just can't see coventry city in the playoffs , it's totally alien to think of us fighting to get to the Premier league In a playoff .

Boro 2-0 Coventry

We finish 8th on the same points as sunderland and albion

Sorry !!!

 

[shmmeee]

Wilson
McNally Fadz Doyle
Kelly
Dabo Hamer Eccles Bidwell

[SKYBLUES90]

If I write this down in some form hopefully it will come to fruition.

2-0 Cov. Everything just seems to click with the team and we look like the team no one wants to face in the playoffs.

Gyokeres and hamer goals.

To top the afternoon off, Sunderland play out a 0-0 draw at Preston and miss out on the playoffs.

 

[Evo1883]

We are definitely hard to beat .. unless you're Stoke
