Jim Blyth V Ipswich, Dec ‘76

Looking forward to this. Only decision as I see it, is Simms up top and Haji left, or EMC in and Haji as front man? Personally, I’d start the Simms/Wright combo Lampard tactical masterclass incoming, hopefully…

Can’t believe there’s been a debate on the red/pen - red all day long. Officials got the disallowed goal correct too. Refs awful but got those two big decisions spot on. Frankly don’t care who we get in the final, but in strange way would prefer us to play Sheffield U.

Yep, spot on.

Some massive calls for FL to make and will be interesting to see which way he goes. Luton will be equally as uncompromising and direct, if not more so. We simply have to match them up. Collins or Wilson. Collins shot to pieces but Wilson hasn’t played in some time and is also prone to...

Based on what I saw. Collins - 2. Shambolic MVE - 3. Very poor today but has been o/s all season Bidwell - 3. Very poor Lati/Kitching - both 5’s. Battled Grimes - 5. Far too deep whole game Allen - 4. Ineffective, offered little Rudoni - 5. Nothing came off Saka - 2. Wore his cloak of...

Today again sums up the Championship and why there are no easy games….. From where we were in early December, I recall folk talking about targeting mid table and building for next season - doubt anyone was talking PO’s let alone being 3pts ahead of the pack with 2 games to go - unbelievable...

Haven’t commented on last nights match thread but thought we played well, and created more than enough to win. I’m saying, same team as started last night unless Thomas is fit, in which case he comes in JL. Hopefully a better all round contribution from Wright. Re this game: Full house, nervy...

Got a good feel for that team. About as strong as we can put out and staying with his preferred 433. Not an awful lot on the bench to change it up.

Favourable set of results for the 2nd week running presuming we get something from this game. Personally, prefer to see Simms in for this one, and Wright on the left. Collins MVE Thomas Kitching JDS Allen Grimes Rudoni Saka Simms Wright Head is saying we draw - win though would...

It’s all if’s, buts, and maybe’s but my quick, back of fag packet calculations: Brizzle finishing the season on 68, WBA on 67 With us on 68 and Boro on 69 going into our final game showdown, which we win to qualify in 5th, and Boro get 6th. All 3 of us have fairly similar run-ins in terms of...

Got a feeling we could we see a return to a back 3 for this one? Collins/Wilson Lati Thomas Kitching MVE Sheaf Grimes Rudoni Saka Simms Wright Or if we stick with a back 4 Collins/Wilson MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell Sheaf Grimes Saka Rudoni Wright Simms Don’t really fancy either GK but would...

Can’t be arsed to read through the past 20 pages or so, but this is fu****g embarrassing, every one of them. Defensively shambolic. Over ran in midfield Saka, EMC and Haji not broken sweat. O’Hare now on, goal incoming no doubt just to complete the misery…

Embarrassing/comical/dreadful defending by Norwich. Their 33 looks a proper liability. They do carry a goal threat though so this could end up any kind of score, very open.

100% agree and same experience re logged in but adverts. Rendering it pretty unusable, sadly.

I like these last few posts and it will be interesting to see if FL sets us up to win or not to lose… A back 3 certainly means Grimes has to play further forward but does he naturally drop too deep as we haven’t gotten a natural ball playing centre back…. For me it also demonstrates what a...

As many have said, too many below par performances; Kitching, Bidwell, Wright, Eccles… Amateur/Sunday league defending at the free kick for their goal. Pitch is awful for this day and age, but obviously the same for both sides. Step up in quality needed 2nd half.

Super yesterday - much more like it, helped by the last minute winner of course. But please to a higher authority, can they sort out the prematch music…. Nothing sums up an intimidating/ferocious home support like the Heartbeat theme tune.

Reading some of the ratings-comments it makes me wonder if I was at the same game… Stodgy performance but battled well without much movement/fluidity ~ 6’s and 7’s all round. And everyone loves a last minute winner Thought Midfield was pretty non existent in general play. 2 very well taken...

Not fussed on the numbers - the ground will be full(ish). Hoping for: Crowd up for it and 90mins wall of sound Players up for it and on the front foot from first kick Comfortable 3-0 win Expecting: Raucous crowd for first 10, sporadic for the rest Stoke using every s***housery trick in the...
