Woke up confident.

We'll fucking smash them 3-1.

McNulty will score, and we probably will have been 1-0 down before an emphatic comeback.

Same. For some reason I'm crazy confident today. Was getting nervous all week but now feel like we can't lose.

Hope you are right. Chucking it down in South Yorkshire and against my better judgement, after the last two weeks, am heading south for the game. Must be a glutton for punishment.
PUSB.

I missed chesterfield so maybe my judgement is clouded. Been really sunny in Bristol, meet the weather in the middle.

Yes, the ground is owned by Vale - however the chairman is looking at selling the club but keeping the ground.

I was too until I listened to Robins interview yesterday. No hint in there of him mixing things up in the middle. Sounded more like he thinks we've been hard done by and will keep going the way we are. Hope it was some kind of cruel double bluff.

Vale struggling to score. We're struggling to score, but creating chances. So it'll either be 0-0 or 3-0 win.

Absolutely no logic behind my thinking here!

Team should be

Burge (although I'd still prefer Obrien)
Grimmer
Willis
Davies (unless McDonald is back with us)
Stokes
Doyle
Andreu
Vincenti
Jones
Duck
McNulty

Although I can't see Robins changing his much loved formation to accommodate such an attacking side

This should be the exact side, Vincenti deserves another game, hopefully he will have a good one today

Be good to see him in a midfield 3 I think too, as we're clearly not getting the most out of him out wide

I'll feel very confident/worried in 50 minutes when the team news is out.

Why are these threads so quiet these days. It's as if people prefer to argue about sisu than actually support the club.

Can't make the game today, in deepest darkest Cornwall. Hope that all City fans, particularly those making a long journey, have a great day, perhaps a game where we've just about won the game by half time, and can really enjoy the second half. Having said all of that, if we do win, you're more likely to be chewing your finger nails into added time! Good luck all!!

First game in weeks as I've been out of the country, so despite the poor performances and results, I can't wait.

3-0.

My game got called off today, and I was really tempted to go. Tickets at £24 is ridiculous though. There's no way I'm gonna spend that.

The Skyblues Live from The City Arms will have to do!

Bit gutted, same formation it seems so it just means McNulty and Andreu will be running round like dickheads instead McNulty and Beavon while Doyle and Kelly check the markings for the halfway line.

Yes for the mac and Andreu. Shame Kelly hasn't been dropped though. Still think that team will win. Would like to see Ponti on the bench.

They have Barnett and Pope up front, prepare for a battle in the air all game.

Will be a big test for McDonald and Willis I think. Both strikers are 6'3 and strong. Barnett played against us for Wimbledon last year I think, gave us trouble all game in the air.

Common sense at last with Andreu starting and nice to see McDonald back

You do realise the reason why we've only conceded 3 and barely had any clear cut chances made against us is because of the solid base. Kelly is pretty effective just needs to push a little bit further up the pitch

I reckon it will be going straight over their heads for most of the game when we defend today, hopefully they will be stood waiting to pick up second balls.

Also the reason we haven't scored for 3 games?

No. The reason for that is missing chances.

I just feel like Doyle next to Andreu will give us more penetration in the middle. Doyle and Kelly are both great defensively but not a lot of invention so we end up keeping the ball and playing short passes rather than making runs or through balls.
