What is funny @Sky Blue Pete

Too right we should be winning this

 

[shmmeee]

BTA may be tired

Never

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Never

And saka

 

[David O'Day]

I'd go

Rushworth
MVE-Thomas-Kitching-JDS
Torp-Grimes
Saka-BTA-EMC if ok to play
Simms

 

[Paxman II]

Should be a win all day long. I sense FL has to re-still the target and get the players hunger going again. The last few games have not be all that good and focus must be a priority so any complacency does not creep in. Nothing for free in this league.

2-0

 

[shmmeee]

No reason Rudi wont be on the bench, he was back on the grass 10 days ago, and will be resuming full training on Monday

BTA Jetlag could be an issue but cant see him getting many minutes so again he will be available

Dasilva same wont get many minutes so will be available

Haji is the question mark. Im a defender of his but he always comes back from international duty shite. Id start Simms for this

Bring Rudi and Haji on for BTA and Simms on the hour for me assuming both can play the minutes.

 

[Balli001]

Only just clocked that Haji is on 4 yellow cards? Would be stupid if he got a ban

Likewise Dasilva and Kitching i beleive

I genuinely thought we were very good vs Stoke.

I genuinely thought we were very good vs Stoke.

I'm not sure how going away to 2nd place and winning fairly comfortably doesn't constitute a good performance. It wasn't great to watch, but we did a very professional job on them.

Think they only really had one decent chance.

I think some fans have set the bar a bit too high performance wise. Understandable. But its nice to see us win in different ways. Thats what champions are made of

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Thomas Asante started for Ghana losing to Japan

Thomas Asante started for Ghana losing to Japan

yeah, as said before he can run back to the uk and still be ready to go

I’d argue - if you’re talking about the one from the sorba Thomas cross - that if that had gone in it would’ve been really lucky. The ball was beyond the bloke sliding in and bounced off his head! He knew nothing about it.

Anyway, totally agree. I think it might show that we can have some variation in our system. We went to get the job done and we did. Like the best teams can.
Worrying isn’t it?

 

[MikeyMoo]

Anyone got a full list of players called up for international duty? Surely impacts on team selection

Just Dasilva Wright and BTA for us I think

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

Just Dasilva Wright and BTA for us I think

And Lati?

 

[MikeyMoo]

So potential starts for Bidders and Simms depending on how things go

They’re a very tough side to break down, not many will go there and win this season.

 

[shmmeee]

And Lati?

Is he? Couldn’t find the squad but he wasn’t in the team or on the bench for their game.

If Dasilva isn’t available then I’d rather go KKH I think at LB. But they’re at home midweek.

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

According to this, he is.

Winning comfortably? It was a pretty even game decided by worldie finish from a half chance.

We never looked in any jeopardy and they may as well have blown the whistle once we scored.
That was as professional performance as you'll see.

And anyone who thinks we were going to maintain the levels of the first 12 games has lost their mind.

We scored in the 86th min lol

First 10 games we were performing like a title winning side. Last 5 have been more like playoff contenders.

League is more competitive this year than it has been for the last 4/5 so the points totals required are likely to be a bit lower, but the level of those first 10 games is what we should be aiming for.

BTA hat trick, shush their fans, turns out he's wearing a knuckleduster under the bandage and causes a riot.

Last 5 we have won 4 lost 1 and also had to play some of those games with a Grallen midfield pairing. If this is the 'worst' we play this season then we're laughing.

 

[shmmeee]

Let’s worry when Rudi comes back and looks like he’s forgotten how to play not after a string of games where BTA played midfield and Allen and Bidwell got starts.

 

[Levship20]

£3.60 pints??? Will they return??? Love it if they do or it is back to the norm boring social club meet up

We started the season in a manner that only a few teams have achieved. We've lost one game all season and are top of the away form chart and 2nd in the home.

That is not, by any definition, the form of play off contenders, thats very much a team going for the autos.

you had to fucking go and say it, didn't you????
