[Sky Blue Pete]

Don’t think this will be a cricket score. Maybe even just a 1-0 but think we’ll win it.

Play whoever is fit. I’d expect that to be everyone so:

Rushworth
MvE Thomas Latubeaudiere Dasilva
Onyeka Grimes
Saka Rudi EMC
Wright

That’s the current first choice

[Gman1987]

Think we'll see some changes.
Onyeka looked tired as did EMC, so maybe Markelo (if Esse is in for Saka) and Eccles in.
Wright had one of his disinterested looking games so Simms might start.
Torp was poor so Rudi to start if he's fit enough.
Saka was constantly holding his side after falling awkwardly when being fouled so maybe Esse?
Bobby potentially back so could replace Kitch?

Not saying all those changes will happen but I think some will

would probably go with all of these. They will come for damage limitation, give Frank a rest (he looked knackered second half and made numerous mistakes) Give Marcelo a go as Tats ran himself into the ground

 

[SkyBluePower]

Is BTA out for a while then? Be a handy sub in these sort of games.

100% agree with the above. Small caveat that wouldnt be disappointed with Simms instead of Wright, who stole his wage last night frustratingly.

I dont predict a scoring frenzy as some are but do expect us to win; 2-0.

Lampard said he is hopeful he will be involved at the weekend to Rob Gurney last night

 

[Sick Boy]

3-0 win with 2 late goals.

 

[David O'Day]

3 or 4 nil, 2nd gear

 

[Lamps]

Lately they haven't scored many but not letting many in either. Let's see how they cope with the best attacking side.in the Championship. It won't be as easy as many think, but I'm still thinking 2-0 to us

 

[alexccfc99]

Fuck that. We did something the following season, since then some of their support have been absolute bell ends so lets just get on with our own business.

I am in two minds as to how I feel about them in all honesty

You can forgive the Kasey Palmer incident and put it down to an absolute scumbag move from one of their fans, but the booing of KP the following week in the Cup game at Hillsborough showed a massive lack of maturity and class in all honesty, not to mention their idiots on Social Media saying he was doing all he could to incite a reaction from the crowd during the game

It is also easy to forget that when Chansiri first took over he could be seen as doing no wrong as he was ploughing a lot of money into the club and they only started to call it out when it was becoming abundantly clear Chansiri was losing interest and it started to go wrong, Derby did exactly the same with Mel Morris then started to play the sympathy vote when the money dried up after years of dodgy dealing which they embraced

All that being said, I can accept that SWFC is a big football club that has been underachieving for a while (They were last in the Premier League less recently than us!) and no one should have taken any joy from seeing the behind the scenes staff not getting paid etc. - They are too big of a club to disappear from the map completely and someone will thrash out a deal to take it on and give it a go of sorting them out, they may have to take a bit more short term pain for that to happen though

 

[Paxman II]

It would be very awkward if for some reason we lost this game....

Should be straight forward but Frank must impress on them that this is not over yet.

 

[Speedie's Head]

Haji's clearly still feeling the groin injury, he wasn't running freely or stretching too much last night. On Friday he was limping when he came on. Even then he's still first choice and rightly so!

 

[SleepyGinger]

They lose basically every game but they don’t often get battered. We are the only team to put 5 past them this season and they have only conceded 4 once. It will be tighter than some seem to think.

Some people thinking there’s a chance we lose lil

 

[JSL]

They are now without Bannan but don't seem any worse

 

[Offhegoes]

Simms for Wright, and Rudoni for Torp otherwise unchanged. If EMC or Sakamoto aren't fully fit then start Markelo over Esse

 

[SleepyGinger]

Rushworth
MVE Thomas/Wolfenden Lati Dasilva
Torp Grimes
Esse Eccles EMC
Wright

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Rushworth
MVE Thomas/Wolfenden Lati Dasilva

Kitching was excellent last night

 

[Sbarcher]

Kitching was excellent last night

Yes but he's no Mo racing forward.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Kitching was excellent last night

Was he? I thought he got bullied by McBurnie

 

[AOM]

0-1 Sheffield Wednesday written all over it

 

[AOM]

2-0 win though in all seriousness, but don't think it will be as easy as some think. They've really pushed teams to the end recently

They may have but they've won league game all season .

 

[AOM]

They may have but they've won league game all season .

True, I'm confident of a win but just not expecting a cricket score and think it will be by a couple of goals, without being under much pressure

 

[alexccfc99]

They may have but they've won league game all season .

And we are also a significantly better side than the teams they have given a game too

But I do agree, I do not think we will thrash them as many will be expecting us too

 

[koelarc]

Must win if we're serious about promotion

 

[wingy]

3-1
Regulation!

 

[skybluelee]

3-1
Regulation!

Rushworth isn't conceding against these with the golden glove on the line.

 

[covcity4life]

3 or 4-0 win

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Rushworth
MVE
LATI
KITCHING
JDS
SAKA

RUDONI
EMC
WRIGHT

 

[Hutch11]

Just go out and smash the wacist Wendy wankers

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

Purely a point of academic interest to a dullard such as myself, but I wonder if there's ever been a game between two sides in English football with an 89 point differential...

1-0....

And a 99 goal difference differential

 

[procdoc]

3-0 win and when the other results go our way promotion will be confirmed later that day!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Early goal 4-0 would be nice

 

[Calista]

If Haji's taking to the field with a groin injury whilst Simms sits on the bench that's mad.
