Bloody hell your keen . Getting the tram from Bury about 8ish, train @ 9.13

Never underestimate the eagerness of a 'Spoons devotee!

If Eccles and Torp are out, I'd go,

Rushworth
MVE Thomas Kitching Dasilva
Allen Grimes
KKH Sakamoto BTA
Wright

I think this will be the 11, not sure how it will look on the pitch. Not much time to work on a system change which is a worry but I think with grimes orchestrating and the players individual quality we’ll have too much for them.

covcity4life · 2025-10-03T08:09:29+0100

If excess is our it will be Allen in and that's it

JSL · 2025-10-03T09:09:08+0100

Did Frank put KKH on as AM on Wednesday as a tester just in case?

Flying Fokker · 2025-10-03T09:18:25+0100

Hmm, different game tactics for tomorrow. Standing in a shitty stadium, watching a Shitty pitch invasion and the possibility the game will be postponed anyway. Sheffield fans should do a protest like they did outside the ground the other week. Maybe until at least half-time.

jordan210 · 2025-10-03T09:33:10+0100

This has banana skin written all over it

Chris1987 · 2025-10-03T09:36:01+0100

Could be a tough gig if the weather kicks up and injuries mean a bit of a changed starting 11. Hopefully we have enough to put the game to bed. 2-0 win and top of table when Pompey take points off Boro.

But..... Middlesbrough have a very long journey to Portsmouth of about 6 hours. If they fail to win and we do win we would go top....

They'll break it up though. They might even train on the way down - quite a few clubs do that on their longer journeys.

He was playing more right midfield. Looked like a 5-4-1 to me.

Sky_Blue_Daz · 2025-10-03T10:30:51+0100

Would be typical of use to lose this under previous regimes , I think they will defend deep and we will score from a set piece 1-0

procdoc · 2025-10-03T10:35:53+0100

Think we will win comfortably

shmmeee · 2025-10-03T10:37:16+0100

What’s the longest we’ve ever been top of the Championship?

Have we ever been top of the championship?

I guess we would've been top of it for a while in 66-67!

Not sure on how long but we went top in the 21/22 after posh at home

First season after relegation I believe we were briefly top around November time under Roland Nillson.

Mucca Mad Boys · 2025-10-03T10:47:43+0100

Anyone want to do a ticket swap for this? I’m in the upper tier and the people I’m going with are in the lower tier.

Happy to swap outside the ground or something.

I think we may struggle to get going with the lack of rest between games, but saying that, I can't look past anything other than a convincing victory.

3-0

The sleep coach is certainly going to be earning his keep on this one.
This schedule is beyond ridiculous.

ptr · 2025-10-03T10:49:12+0100

Should be a good game. Tired legs. They’re fighting down the bottom. We are bang on form.

Score prediction?

Best since we came back up from L1 after a completed round of games was 3rd a couple of times in Autumn 2021- I'm sure Goblin is right that we were briefly top until someone else played, but can't see for sure.

So being currently 2nd on same games as everyone else (except Ipswich & Blackburn who can't catch us) is definitely best since 2020/1.

That wasn’t the Championship

shmmeee · 2025-10-03T11:09:22+0100

Anyway win tomorrow and Boro don’t and we’ll be top for two weeks.

Para1140 · 2025-10-03T11:28:30+0100

Man mark Bannon out the game and they will have nothing.
3 nil up at half time and Wednesday fans do their sit down protest on the pitch.
game abandoned and FA schedule replay behind closed doors

Ccfcisparks · 2025-10-03T11:28:30+0100

I'm often pessimistic, but I'll be extremely disappointed if we dont get a win here.

Speedie's Head · 2025-10-03T11:28:44+0100

I wonder if Bidwell might get a start tomorrow...

Sky_Blue_Daz · 2025-10-03T11:44:47+0100

Were we top for a while when Mowbray was manager ?

I think we were top for about 15 minutes during that Friday night Peterborough home game a few years ago before someone (possibly WBA) took the lead in their game and went back above us.

10 mins apparently.

robbiethemole · 2025-10-03T11:53:34+0100

Maybe put young Kai Andrews on old Bannon and stay with him everywhere he goes? Cuts out all their creativeness at source.

procdoc · 2025-10-03T11:56:55+0100

Whilst Bannan is a veteran decent championship player, he’s not exactly Pirlo

fernandopartridge · 2025-10-03T12:02:20+0100

Interesting looking at him in comparison with Grimes, some similar numbers

At least a win ?

Bonus point if we score more than 10
