Sure does make you wonder what if we signed him instead of Palmer in ‘22I'd go with the same starting 11, that midfield of Grimes/Sheaf/ Rudi is immense and yes it will be tough at Plymouth but we will have enough to beat them. I wonder if Bobby and/or EMC will be back in the match day squad for Monday?
Going back to that midfield what a player Rudi is, you could see how good he was back in preseason against Everton but he's just unplayable now!, rated him last year even tho playing in a poor team at Huddersfield, and looking back at their fans comments on him is amusing.
Palmer always has that moment of magic, he is a skillful player but he just doesn't do it consistently mate that is his problem, alot of the time he frustrated me with either losing the ball in a dangerous areas or falling over then complaining for half an hour to the ref.Sure does make you wonder what if we signed him instead of Palmer in ‘22

If we can't be confident of beating 2 of the worst teams in the league then we really have no business being in the play offs
One or two will need resting, but it's a horrible situation for a manger, if you rest Rudoni and MvE and don't win, it could ruin the whole season.I'd go with the same starting 11, that midfield of Grimes/Sheaf/ Rudi is immense and yes it will be tough at Plymouth but we will have enough to beat them.

Yes, you can lose with 90% possession, with the opposition keeper having a blinder, absolutely no luck if front of goal, with the ref giving absolutely nothing, but everything to the opposition.Sheffield United just got beat by Plymouth so do they have no business being in the play offs? Equally Derby did the double over us despite being pants, yet we are still in a play off position! If we lose to Plymouth or Luton but still end up in the play offs then we will have every right being part of them.
Football is not an exact science, with there being unpredictable results week in week out. Confidence can also easily turn into complacency, and needs to be managed correctly. FL and the players are sending out the correct messages in adopting the cliche of 'concentrating on one game at a time', and hopefully we batter Plymouth as a result, but in every match there are too many variables to mean that victory is a certainty.
We need all our big players playing mate, they could get injured any point of the season, we were lucky with Rudi at Oxford let's pray we stay in good health till the season is doneOne or two will need resting, but it's a horrible situation for a manger, if you rest Rudoni and MvE and don't win, it could ruin the whole season.
But if they pick up an injury and miss the playoffs it's game over!
Ultimately we have to take the risk and play them as we still need the win.
Not necessarily given what was spent on Palmer.As much chance of us signing Cole Palmer with Sisu in charge at the time.

Thought it was under £1M he went there for?And what was that? He went for about £2m to Huddersfield.

Not sure they were present in that SU game which was ages ago.He's suspended.
Don't know about those crazy European centre backs they signed in January though.
They’ve got no available RBs according to a Plymouth fan I saw online.
I think he caught his foot as well as pushed him. If it was our player through on goal and it happened we would all say it was 100% a pen.The highlights from Friday had them playing well with fast counter attacks. The penalty against them looked like their player joke tapped the Middlesbrough player on yhe opposite shoulder to cinfuse / distract him and he then went down like a sack of spuds looking for it and got it
Remember Stoke A, Portsmouth A and Derby A all had their first choice defence decimated and we were beaten by the more determined team.They’ve got no available RBs according to a Plymouth fan I saw online.
It is very unusual to field the same team over the two Easter matches, as someone usually picks up a slight injury, that may become serious if they have to play again. Unfortunately, due to injuries we have virtually no other options. We did ease off against WBA so hopefully everyone is OK.One or two will need resting, but it's a horrible situation for a manger, if you rest Rudoni and MvE and don't win, it could ruin the whole season.

our team wasn’t that great against derby, one of those games, won’t happen again,all big games now, we’ll be up for all of themRemember Stoke A, Portsmouth A and Derby A all had their first choice defence decimated and we were beaten by the more determined team.
The centre back is likely to be in the squad.He's suspended.

One of them maxi? Is out injured for season blonde pony tail.He's suspended.

One is supposed to be back from a hamstring injury and could be involved tomorrow.One of them maxi? Is out injured for season blonde pony tail.
Bali Mumba is a RB traditionally, they sometimes prefer him at LB but had 2 LBs on the bench last time out.They’ve got no available RBs according to a Plymouth fan I saw online.
This one is my least confident of a win out of our last 3 games. I'm with my son in law who supports Plymouth. Looking forward to the game but their strength is our weakness. He says they sit back and hit quickly on the break. Says they play best against sides that play a high line.I’m confident we’ll roll these over comfortably. As disappointing as the draw v Hull was, we were pretty dominant, albeit the chance creation being quite low.
Plymouth need to win more than we do so that should give us the opportunity to put them to the sword.
2-0 win.
I know people keep saying they are bottom and bottom for a reason etc, but I am expecting them to play nothing like a bottom of the table side tomorrow.This one is my least confident of a win out of our last 3 games. I'm with my son in law who supports Plymouth. Looking forward to the game but their strength is our weakness. He says they sit back and hit quickly on the break.

Don't think we will lose but it won't be easy to come away with the win.
Just need to slip the linesmen some of Todd Kane’s old stash thenThis one is my least confident of a win out of our last 3 games. I'm with my son in law who supports Plymouth.
