Thomas got us promoted, who’s winning the league for us ? I’ll go for a Patterson moment from Eccles

If you’re going for acrobatics, I’m more inclined to think EMC could do it.

We have a much better team than them and they have lost 2 important players to hamstrngs.

We should win

I do think we win, but it'll be gritty.

Rushworth
MVE Thomas Lati Dasilva
Onyeka Grimes
Markelo Rudoni EMC

Swap Torp for Onyeka and possibly Da Silva for Bidwell

Don’t think pompey will set up a deep block , and hopefully frank releases the shackles of the wing backs , if so I think 3-0

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Eccles to score a worldie , City to seal the deal with a 3-1 win

I'd like to see Markelo get some decent minutes tomorrow. Esse won't be here next year.

It's about winning the league so strongest side possibly if that's esse then so be it

 

[Pendragon]

We seem to have been a little shackled of late, hopefully after the last round of results the shackles can be released and we win the championship with a solid 3 points tonight.

City’s going up and the Leicester’s going down belting around the stadium after the final whistle for 20 minutes.

In two minds on this one.

Either hangover (literal) from last night means a very scrappy draw, or the pressure of promotion lifted means we play with a sense of freedom that means it’s a simple win.

These scenarios contingent on FL not pulling that formation change bullshit again mind you

Revising my prediction a few days on.

Now more drawn towards this being a decent win.

Pompey have been slogging for 3 games straight and churning out results - feel like tonight could be a bit of either a) run out of steam or b) sit back as to improve chances of a draw. They've got 2 much more winnable games to see out the season, with 7 points ahead of the relegation places and the prospect of WBA's impending deduction too.

Plus Cov from Pompey on a Tuesday night is a sccchhlep.

You don’t think Eccles could pull off a bicycle kick ?

We sang that too him at Incester when we went 1 nil up. Unfortunately Dewesbury - Hall scored 2 second half, we lost and looked like twats.

He who laughs last, laughs best.

Has Bidwell ever scored for us?

 

[jto123]

On the train up now. So excited for the match. Should be a great atmosphere!

 

[PVA]

Eccles scoring the winner would be fairytale stuff!

Has Bidwell ever scored for us?

Yes 3 times apparently! I can't picture any of them

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Eccles scoring the winner would be fairytale stuff!



Yes 3 times apparently! I can't picture any of them

Genuienly no memory of any of them

Fairly sure Bidwell scored with his face against Rotherham once

 

[edgy]

Markelo on the right please Frank.
