I was thinking starting Pask but that back three look so comfortable together at the moment I wouldn't want to change it, and they didn't seem too overworked on saturday.

Yes i listen to it on ifollow, tried to watch live on one occasion and it didnt work. So im not trying that again. That was over year ago though.

You don't need a VPN or anything like that for this one because it's a Tuesday night, it's legitimately available to everyone for £10. Just buy video pass instead of audio pass.

Would take a point at Fleetwood, but think we will grind out a narrow win.

Because the likelihood of promotion would not be good it we only drew against our promotion rivals

It’s essential to not lose. We could go second with a win and outside play offs with a defeat. Fleetwood are 11th but would could go above us if we lose and reversal again on Saturday.

So a draw is a good enough outcome.

Not buying it - it would be two points lost rather then 1 gained

Rotherham play Ipswich - could well be a draw. Portsmouth away at Lincoln - so that could put them out of contention for a while. Wycombe at home to Blackpool so they should win that one.

If we can win this game, although we're unlikely to climb any places, it puts us very much in command: potentially 2 points off top with 2 games in hand. Could really do with a few more 1-4 results as our goal difference is so poor it's almost giving an extra point to our rivals.

Always good to be infused with the fighting spirit. I guess if you strip any game/sport down to the bare bones, this is at its core.

Fleetwood home form
Played 13
Won 7
Drew 5
Lost 1
Scored 22
Conceded 11

Not an easy trip by any means

Attack best form of defence against these. Don't want to play deep against these, or concede too many set pieces - aerial threat from Evans and Souttar (that v tall centre half)

Really want Allen to get some minutes on the pitch - he can make things happen.

Il be there, as will my 10 year old daughter who started crying when I told her she couldn't go as its a school night and she'd have to have half day.... So eventually caved, she wants to tick it off her 92 list (she's at 30).

So imaginary dentist appointment it is for her and a half day for me lol (bad parent I know)

A win would be huge, any way which or how please city
All the dentists were double booked in the 70's when we played Man City on a weekday afternoon due to a floodlight ban.

MR doesn't seem to be a big fan of rotation but a lot of our players have been very regular starters and put in a big shift in on Saturday. There must be some weary legs in there, Walsh was definitely stretching his legs out towards the end.

Dabo
Rose
Hyam
McFadz
McCallum
Kelly
Walsh
Shipley
Westbrooke

have all started near enough every game (when available) and at least a couple of them must be due a rest with so many games coming up.

I know we're very much a different outfit to back then and this was when the formation changed, but surprised with how confident some are RE a win, when we were unbelievably lucky to scrape a 2-1 in the home fixture. Fleetwood should have been about 4 or possibly 5 up at half time. One of their chipped efforts was almost like they were taking the piss it was that easy for them in the first half. A result here, be it a win or a draw, is a good result.

A draw is fine as long as we beat Bristol Rovers (shows how much progress we have made where we would still be disappointed with a draw away at a promotion rival).

We have to be clinical.
