Not going to happen. We need to dig in and get a bit lucky to come away with the 1-1.

You can never say we won't score.

A fluke, an own goal, a penalty or free kick. It's always possible, even when looking unlikely.

Big 10 mins for KKH

Fair play to MvE and anyone else who has played 80 minutes with the flu.

 

[CovveeBreak]

Brau actually looks competent

Even this is a disservice to how well he is playing. The anti-Brau contingent founded on nothing but the fact he wasn’t getting minutes.

 

[Matt smith]

They look like they are all coughing haha

 

[ptr]

few of them struggling with illness. Fair play to them.

 

[Mr Panda]

both Torp and MVE coughing as they come off

 

[chiefdave]

Way MVE was coughing and covering his mouth, not interacting with the players coming on, has he got the flu as well.

Can't imagine we've got players so ill they're out but nobody else is affected at all.

 

[Hobo]

Wright has pace, Simms doesn't have as much, and we're likely to need pace to counter-attack - and the option to go for it if we concede again - so I'm on board with keeping Wright on tbf.

I say as he's about to come off.

Simms has pace when he has a lot of pitch in front of him. Stronger than Wright and better at defending the set piece.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

MVE violently coughing walking off.

Torp too!

 

[Alkhen]

Both Torp and MvE coughing as they go off

 

[StrettoBoy]

We are playing five at the back and now MVE is off not one of them would normally start.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

If we can hang on for the point it’s result of the season

 

[mrfr]

Come on Ellis.

 

[procdoc]

It’s like a pre-season friendly lineup now

 

[shmmeee]

Only a few days in but a few people I’ve spoken to have said this flu sticks around for a week or two after you’re “better” wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a few below par for a few weeks.

 

[wingy]

Bidwell is so finished he has to be worth a go while the idiot is suspended surely.

Bidders may be needed as a CH yet?

Big Norm getting a recall in time for the run-in?

 

[shmmeee]

Was that a Brau long throw as well?

 

[Nick]

Jamie Allen has won more headers than wright

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Hopefully we have passed the bug onto them

 

[procdoc]

Their fans are dreadful by the way

 

[shmmeee]

Target man Jamie Allen with the flick on

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

omg tell me this is tactical and we're not about to go down to nine

 

[wingy]

Rushworth is very good!

 

[jordan210]

some of our clearances are criminal

 

[Matt smith]

Grimes now out

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Grimes looks fucked

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Grimes' studs stuck in the pitch?? Never seen that before

 

[shmmeee]

Lats has defended his box really well today.

 

[covcity4life]

Plz grimes be ok. I thought he just couldn't get his boot back on at first

 

[Evo1883]

That doesnt look good

 

[chiefdave]

Only a few days in but a few people I’ve spoken to have said this flu sticks around for a week or two after you’re “better” wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a few below par for a few weeks.

This isn't the first time we've had people ill this season is it, or am I misremembering?

Might not be the worst idea for the club to start doing flu and covid tests and isolate people where needed.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Was Grimes stuck in the pitch? What’s going on

 

[mrfr]

Frank might need to register himself at this rate.
