We should have enough about us to beat Wednesday, however they have improved under their new manager so we need to be weary.

City 1 Wednesday 0.

The fans to play their part , to possibly lift the team when needed, to another 3 points .
We were very noisy yesterday, for just over the 1k mark , so let’s lift the roof & make this a Christmas to remember.
Merry Christmas to all skyblue

Would start Eccles instead of Allen , otherwise same lineup but Palmer and Lati must be pushing for a start

We’ll either spank these or get turned over 1-0 - It’s the Coventry City way

I totally agree but we all know how much Robins rates Godden. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear “Simms needed a breather, we have to manage player workload “ type line.

Yep, '100 at a time is the way.

Can be a bit of a psychological barrier from what I can remember.

Think this game will be a lot closer than some people think.
I'm expecting Wednesday to get bodies behind the ball and hit us on the break.
So I'm going for 1-0 City. Maybe a late penalty.

Why do people go on about the Sheff Weds crowds ? Since they got relegated from the Prem, their attendances have been average, like ours. They have a core away support but most (not all) Champ clubs could say the same. For a ground that holds 39K, these aren't exceptionally high figures.

1995 last time they beat us at home, let's keep that run going longer!

I think we will spend a lot of time in their penalty area, corners crossings etc sort of game that suits Godden. Think MR will prefer him to Simms, reckon he might start with Palmer & Eccles 50/50 Sheaf starts.

That makes sense but I think Robins will need to manage the minutes of a number of players over the next few matches, so we might see quite a lot of changes.

Sheffield will be tired too, get our passing time right & make the ball do the work we’ll be fine.

Pissed up crowd, atmosphere should be good apart from the dilution by part-timers who go to 1 match a year. Remember Sheff Wed fans singing you're not fit to wear the shirt at Highfield Rd when they got relegated from the top tier. Could be another Plymouth type game or anything really. A clean sheet and a win would be brilliant. Think he will rest Sheaf after the assault at Sunderland.

He's definitely spelled weary correctly - he's just tired of using the alternative.

That fact actually shocks me - I swear I’ve seen them beat us at the CBS…. Apparently not

that being said - that was my first game

Welcome to any new fans or non regular attendees. Despite what people may infer most fans didn’t start off season ticket holders ….

….. clubs only grow when irregular fans become regular fans and regular fans become season ticket holders …

I've had a season ticket for 30 years plus but I started off as a small child attending the odd match with my dad, as did my kids. All 3 generations now have season tickets.

Looking forward to a Boxing Day game, even more so as I’m surprised I’ve not had more stick or guilt trips considering it’s Christmas Day #2 at the in laws!

Especially looking forward to seeing the ever improving Sakamoto, Wright, MVE and COH. Also really hoping this is the game Simms get a goal to give him a needed confidence boost.

It’ll be a tricky game, but in form we’re a really strong side and I’m confident it’ll show.

3-0.

2-1 win, hopefully. Possibly a tighter game than some think. Games against teams near the bottom … well, let’s just remember Rotherham. Hope it’s more comfortable than that but would take anything as long as the 3 points are ours.

Palmer deserves a start.

Palmer Wright and Sakamoto front three.

O’hare in behind.
