Can't believe they're starting Wagner, we need to attack him and show him what the championship is all about

Ipswich game off not sure it’s been mentioned

It’s a bold move, but perhaps he’s already been assessed against their other options and looks better?

Let's do it for Venezuela!

 

[CCFCSteve]

Decent starting line up and as expected really. If we’ve got enough legs left and no lasting illness it should br enough. Expecting them to be up for it though, hopefully early goal for us will settle things down

 

[Somerset Sky Blue]

Perfect squad outside of Torp

And dovin (who we often keep forgetting!).

 

[CovveeBreak]

We need to level up today. Every game we play is a cup final for our opponents. We’re a scalp everyone will want and with our dip in form many will think it’s possible.

With Blues being solid at home, and on a poor run of form, they’re gonna be up for this me thinks. Got to get into them from the off.

 

[eyesee]

En route to St Andrews. Beautiful day for it but my god I wish I'd brought a hat and gloves

i'm wearing 2 pairs of gloves, if that helps....

 

[Ccfcisparks]

dovin over rushworth?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Stansfield, Doyle and Paik kick opponents a lot. Hoping the ref is strong, plus hope Stansfield isn't properly fit. An 'accidental' knee in the same thigh he had a deadleg with would be nice!

 

[Great_Expectations]

Strongest team available. Don’t mind Eccles in the 8 role, personally think he suits it more than 10. As long as he stays on his feet.

As always - massively keen for Simms to play well. Yes he’s clumsy but he is nowhere near his ceiling IMO.

1-3, Simms x2, Eccles.

Only Dasilva and Simmo are going to be fresh really. Let's hope jds can make a start on repaying the 5 points he owes us!

 

[fernandopartridge]

2 you mean...

Yes haha

Agree on eccles. Better as a 8

 

[Great_Expectations]

This has genuinely made me feel a bit sick. For that sort of tribute it has to be bad - thoughts immediately go to kids.

Does he have one of those big Georgian places in Leamington?

Agreed, he's never ever a 10.

Ya that's a big worry. I'm not sure you would see that for parents.

Kids or sibling. Either way it's bad.

he's hardly stretched himself all season he should be raring to go

Every game we have left is a cup final. Except for next Saturday, which I sincerely hope we throw.

 

[CCFCSteve]

£7.50 for a Guinness, payback for the Cat A+ ?!

gosh

Yeah it’s clearly not his nan died peacefully in her sleep. Hope he’s OK and is given whatever time he needs.

It's a real roll of the dice.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Really good atmosphere in the away end today. St Andrews staff all in good energy and humour too. Love to see it 🩵

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Let's go and get the win for Jamie. Obviously it is something really serious as our players are wearing his name on their shirts in the warm up.

It is a good team we have put out, and in my view, the correct one as well.

Come on lads!

 

[Nick]

How are games in the championship being called off?

 

[Speedie's Head]

gosh

Only got 1 in his last 7. He'll want to take his opportunity

Hate those things. Drove me insane during the World Cup in South Africa.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Oh Birmingham, (oh birmingham)
Is full of shit, (is full of shit)
Oh Birmingham is full of shit.

Oh Birmingham is full of shit!

You search through the dustbins for something to eat, you find a dead dog and you think its a treat.
Inn your Birmingham slums.


Also, its ALWAYS irked me, not to mention makes.us lookna bit silly, when we sing Yam Yam, Yam Yam, to a group of fans from.and area that dont say Yam. They say Yow. So could we please try and sing Yow Yow at the Yow Yows, and not Yam Yam? Thanks.

I have previously raised the yam yam/yow yow issue many times - It appears to fall on deaf ears.
This may need a Professor Higgins type intervention.

 

[JSL]

Starting XI looks best available. Bench a bit packed out with youngsters but good optios with Woolf and Wright if needed. Midfield options limited

 

[Great_Expectations]

Yea agreed, just the 8 goals this season in 7 starts.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Frank complaining about the squad already

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Have to assume frozen pitch?
