5-0

Probably won't then bother watching the second half to be honest .

 

[Para1140]

they are a good run themselves but all against bottom half teams. They were close to losing to wba last night and we have nothing to fear. Would take a draw but play to our strengths and I can see a 2-1 win. southampton will try to play football and attack us which should play into our hands

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Really, really gutted that long-standing plans mean I can't make this one. There's no reason to be anything but supremely confident, I have no doubt that it'll be another massive win in this unforgettable season and another atmosphere to remember!

 

[jordan210]

Must win. Can't lose, Take a draw.

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Suspect Haji will come back in and maybe Eccles into the 10.

Kitch and Woolf won’t be dropped and Lati will be on the bench.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

They’ll be some needle in this game , think they will set up with a low block and play for a draw .

Maybe start with the same 11 as last night Simms did well in my opinion

They are going to have a bit of a fixture pile up with them still being in the cup. Probably our biggest test since the Boro match

 

[alexccfc99]

Our toughest remaining game imo, think Saints motor into the play-offs and win them

Scienza was took off with a groin injury last night, doubtful for the weekend

 

[TomRad85]

Sounds like Scienza started having a wank on the pitch in their last game...

On Scienza, Eckert said: "Let's see. We need to assess over the next few days. It was his groin that he was touching at the very moment.

 

[Jamesimus]

14-0, Latibeaudiere to be straight back in the starting line-up with 10 goals from distance, Haji Wright with 3 and Rushworth with a header from a corner in the last few minutes.

At a glance looks like a draw. They haven’t lost in six we’ve won the last six so unlikely to get to seven.

But the last away game they lost was 0-4 to Boro a they have been doing it against lower half teams. I’m going to stick with regression to the mean and say we don’t win seven in a row so draw.

Everyone is well rested and we have a week then a break coming up so:

Rushworth
MvE Lats Kitching Dasilva
Onyeka Grimes
Saka Eccles EMC
Wright

S: Wilson, KKH, Woolfenden, Bidwell, Torp, Esse, Markelo, BTA, Simms

I thought that but Scienza going off is a big blow for them. If they aren't winning at West Brom, they aren't winning here. Only danger is some of their players want to put on a performance to impress a legend of the game like Lampard.

 

[TomRad85]

Only changes will be Wright for Simms and Eccles for BTA imo. Was worried when we lost Thomas and Rudi but we're just motoring right now, we'll be fine.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

I doubt they will play better to impress Lampard ,.they will do it for their own manager and fans .WBA were always going to be better once they got rid of their recent manager

[SonofErnie]

The strength in depth is now paying dividends and we are going into games with a fresh and hungry team.

Unless they grab an early goal I can see this being a 2-0 win.

Nope. Lampard.
WBA are garbage.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Most of them are p

Nope. Lampard.
WBA are garbage.

I've never heard of players wanting to play well to impress the manager of an opposition side.

[David O'Day]

Rushworth
MVE
Woolfie
Lats/Kitching (either will do)
JDS
Grimes
FTT
Eccles
Saka
EMC
Wright

 

[Bad Boy]

Remember last match of the season 2012 when they went up and we went down!

The media were all over them and we barely got mentioned.

A thumping win on Saturday with Frank giving it large to their fans would be nice.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Call it off!

 

[SleepyGinger]

Rushworth
MVE Woolfenden Kitching Dasilva
Onyeka Grimes
Sakamoto Eccles EMC
Wright

Wilson, Lati, Bidwell, KKH, Torp, BTA, Esse, Markelo, Simms

2-0 win

 

[KarmicChris]

2/3-1. They’re ok. Form table can be misleading, free hit vs Wednesday. Last minute goals vs Leicester + West Brom. Could easily have lost those away games.

Haji back, with 2 goals. It’ll be more nervy than Preston ‘cause they’ve got more going for them. But Scienza not playing would be good.

Please have a word with yourself if you’re saying you’d take a draw at home, to a team that is TWENTY-THREE (23) points behind us.
