Had a very difficult last couple of weeks - a win today would very welcome.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Id like to caveat that I've not had 100% confirmation on Wilson

But it seems to be

 

[harvey098]

They're dreadful aren't they?

A few are alright tbf, Hawksbee and Jacobs are good and I have to say Charlie Baker because he’s a friend (even though he admittedly doesn’t know much about football or sport )

 

[PVA]

Absolutely huge pressure on Wilson if true. Should have been done a few games ago, putting him straight in to such a crucial game is a lot. Fuck I hope he has an error free game

He doesn’t seem the type to give it a second thought. Never been any hint of him losing confidence when he’s made a mistake or been dropped for a while.

The very worst that can happen is he can be equally as shit as collins has been recently , so he should feel relaxed

Both of them are prone to sudden lapses of concentration. Let’s just hope we get through today.

 

[Evo1883]

He had to take collins out , even if Wilson has a shit game you cant keep allowing a keeper to make massimo taibi like errors and keep starting him

 

[Gint11]

Random one, does anyone know where I can get a pie at the CBS? My 7 year old wanted one at a game recently and the outside stalls only had burgers etc. Is there anywhere inside?

 

[Great_Expectations]

Big, big, big game feel.

The Twitter post someone shared earlier was great from the club; definite goosebumps.

Amazing, if not stressful, day to be a Cov fan.

And I’m 100% wearing shorts!

Wish EMC was back so we could go with him on the left and Wright in the middle. Bored of half arsed performances from Simms now tbh.

More importantly; he has a great song!

It’s not just about him either IMO, it takes that nervousness out of the crowd.

Otherwise anytime a cross/shot/back pass went anywhere near Collins the crowd would be collectively holding their breath.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Really set up for Wilson to be a returning hero today.

That has to be a big motivator for him; back in from the cold and help secure us a play off place, and a second play off experience for him as an individual.

My Sky Blue pants never made it for this match. They appeared Thursday. I thought about wearing them for three days. That's against all the rules. So it's a red pair. However they have a blue trim with the brand written in what I would say is Sky Blue. I'm hopeful it's enough.

 

[mmttww]

does anyone know where I can get a pie?

I always get one inside. Steak pie is decent.

 

[quinn1971]

You're 1 off

No Thomas

 

[quinn1971]

i feel the same weirdly. Was more nervous before last week

Same as before the Sunderland and West Brom games, id be worried coming here with our home form

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sky blue chinos ironed and ready to go for this. Though with Latibeaudiere in defence yet again they’ll be khakis by full time.

Agree should have done it 4 games ago and let him build into it ready for the last couple of games/plays offside (hopefully).

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

No but been up since 5. I am getting to old for this.

Same here thought I’d be able to have a little lie in but been awake since 6

 

[quinn1971]

Wilson doesn’t make those daft decisions, he’ll be fine, pretty sure the back 4 will be happy with the change

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Just been sent a few videos from last nights fireworks celebrations at the hotel but cant add the video for some reason.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

EMC was equally ineffective prior to injury.
Hoping today's the day that Simms and Wright rediscover their big game Wolves mojo.

 

[StrettoBoy]

I am currently suffering from a high degree of nervous excitement ahead of today’s match.

Come on lads, you can do it!

That is way way too much information

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Weirdly , I feel nothing

No nerves , no excitement.. just nothing


And I dont know why

I'm the same. I think it's because winning/getting in the top 6 means the likelihood of Sheff Utd over 2 games (which feels a stretch too far for our team at the moment). If we ended up facing Sunderland, and MVE and co stay fit, then I will probably revert to the usual 'excited' stage. Reaching Wembley again would be fantastic and offers the usual 'anything can happen' opportunity.

 

[lord_garrincha]

If Wilson is in... I hope someone calms him down. Remembering the lockdown season, he got lucky not getting a red when he would go on a mad charge. Don't need anything stupid today.

Ah ok, I was expecting a stall outside to do them but didn’t see any. Inside then. Thanks

Same. Also, if we lost to Sunderland in the final, that’s a hard pill to swallow and if it sheff U, we have Gus and COH rubbing it in

however, if we beat one of them!

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Had a dream last night we were 3-0 up at half time, blew the lead and were desperately hoping Millwall stayed 1-0 down to Burnley, and Blackburn stayed 1-1 at Sheffield

getting greyer and older now.., but dammit this is what we live for.

come on city!

More like his mum from the picture

MILF?

 

[Briles]

Just saw the video of the fireworks outside Boro hotel last night
