No, we won't. Hellberg doesn't know how to for one and we've only drawn one of his games so far. We'll go for rapid movement and attack, it's his way.

That doesn't mean it won't end up a draw of course, which I'd be satisfied with, with easier games coming up. It could go any way.
This you mate 😂😂 Conway in the same sentence as Asante That‘s a ban surely nick ?

Nah, my username on Fmttm is similar to on here. Obviously without the Boro bit as 99% of users support Boro🤣

Tbf quite a few on our forum have viewed this forum of yours out of interest, though there's only myself and Kris that I've seen posting on here. I can only speak for Fmttm mind as I'm not on OneBoro or Comeonboro. I popped on them to see what they were like once (and occasionally since if they get linked with tramsfer runours or such like) but found Fmttm better Craic.

love how he’s reported back like he’s been on a spy mission 😂 he’s taken the bait, lulled him into a false sense, Asante’s shit really, bidwell will be the one to watch 😉

Tbf anyone viewing this forum would probably come to the conclusion that Onyeka was the one to watch for.

As for spying missions, I imagine they're downgraded when anyone can view posts on here incognito, without actually posting at all. Kind of means that the role of "spy" is downgraded to "bloke who reads things that others can't be arsed to look for."

Haven’t seen Onyeka play, big test for him to come straight in for this one, but you can tell he’s going to be good, could be the difference, TBH I couldn’t even tell you what our team will be,he might not even start, we know exactly how you’ll set up,we just need to be good enough to counter it. pretty sure it won’t be a boring 0-0

I think as far as how we set up, the Hellball style of "Controlled Chaos" will be the obvious system as such, though system is the wrong way to describe it as it does have more variables to it, especially as hardly any player has an actual position to play in for the duration of the game.

As for the personel, you could probably name at least 8 of our starters, with only a few unknown for definite.

If Onyeka does start then it would surprise me that he didn't get some minutes in the Oxford game to help get him up to speed? Though understand that more defensive minded midfielders weren't what you needed the most against a side that practically played a 90 minute low block.

Agreed on the result, whilst it could go any which way, the "Both teams to score" would be where the smart money goes at the bookies...

he was going on until they got a red card, we chucked another forward on, didn’t help 😂he looks just as good going forward,think we’ve got ourselves a proper player, personally I’d be telling him if Hackney goes for a piss go with him, the old fashioned man marking, but we don’t do that, far too boring, we’ll just approach it as all of our games, we’ll just try and score more than you and see what happens, seems to work at home

Our tactics will be leave the midfield wide open and hope they don't score because if if they do we have to spoon the ball up to Haji/Simms and when it rebounds that far off them hopefully 1 of our players will allow your mob to collect the ball and then start another attack, we don't call our defence the red sea for nothing, maybe thats a negative mindset but its how Frank likes to play because we are tired!

We have to start onyeka - I know people say it is a big test for him, but surely not?
He is an international who has just been playing in afcon semi final, has lots of minutes in premier and bundesliga.
If this is a big test for him, we've been sold a dud.
I know it is a change of clubs, top of table clash (who'd have thought that with us?), but still....

He destroyed Cameroon on his own. I’m sure he can in the Champ

It was obvious last week they'd done a lot of work on positions, especially where the full backs were. You'd honestly think we were second bottom listening to you.

It was a poor Oxford side but we did look better at the back, id Keep lati in, then it’s between Thomas, wolfenden and kitching, they need to start showing something and quick,

hard to leave saka out, based on that, but if EMC starts then id put Esse on the right for this one, he’ll love games like this, he’s not been as good off the left,
