Cant see them being more than bench tbh with the 2 week break coming up

That's a shame. 2 players we miss a lot imo (expecting responses from people forgetting Rudi is one of if not our actual best player because he was injured.) I guess getting them back after the break is more important. We should really be able to put our foot on the neck of the league with everyone back.

Leif Davis has another two games out suspended, don't know about others.

Kipre suspended for Millwall too I believe.

 

[TomRad85]

He left for the money and the assumption they'd go right back up, he got the money alright but will now be stuck in this division for the foreseeable.

Hard to see him ever playing in the Prem now really.

 

[JSL]

He was hated when he left here

Only because he went to Villa

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Kipre suspended for Millwall too I believe.

Millwall's defender having his red card rescinded is a boost for them too.

Not even the leaving that bothered me, it was the interview he did bemoaning Robins for dropping him at the back end of the 23/24 season, conveniently glossing over the fact he made it abundantly clear he had zero interest in signing a new deal - MR was very good to Callum and deserved a lot better than that in my opinion

He should have been front and centre of all we have got going on at the minute but he made his move and he has to own that, of course he will be better off money wise and that is the most important thing for a footballer but I bet deep down he would have been desperate to be wearing a Sky Blue shirt at full time at Bramall Ln the other week

 

[shmmeee]

No it was told to me like it was said in a way he absolutely did not want us to do well.

Salty little chav

(COH not you)

 

[Grendel]

Only because he went to Villa

So did Regis and George Curtice

 

[clint van damme]

I don't think its true that Philogene is still injured though, i'm pretty sure he's back.

He is but it's early days. Can't see him being back to match fitness for a while.

 

[clint van damme]

Fairly sure the cwr new bulletin just said Wright to miss a few games,it was on in te background so I may have misheard

 

[edgy]

I think Boro draw and Ipswich win tomorrow.

 

[alexccfc99]

I think Boro draw and Ipswich win tomorrow.

Inclined to agree - I can't see Boro having it all their own way tomorrow but think Ipswich will do their job

Yet the ultimate soldier of fortune Kasey Palmer gets applauded in the first game of the season

 

[alexccfc99]

Worth noting that with Wright out Grimes will probs be on pens tomorrow should we get one

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

And the last two taken were brilliant pens

He was dropped because his form fell off a cliff, no other reason imo.

 

[Pezza]

I can see Ipswich picking up points in most games, they won’t lose many if any. For me it will come down to how many they draw and who to (Millwall/Boro).

We just need to keep going, I’d love to see us turn the screw and go on an unbeaten run now until the end of the season. We will stay out of reach while the others fight it out. That 6 game winning streak was massive but we HAVE to now finish the job.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

I don't think its true that Philogene is still injured though, i'm pretty sure he's back.

Philogene was on the bench v sheff wed I'm sure

The love Palmer gets is so weird, he’s a mercenary

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Will from CWR just tweeted that Thomas AND Rudoni are 50/50 for tomorrow which is a bit more promising .Lampard also hoping to have Wright ready for Derby too.

Not sure if this has come from the pre match press conference but Lampard was giving nothing away as usual.

Said Haji doing well, won't be involved tomorrow and won't be going on international duty. Not really entertaining questions on Rudi and Thomas and just said we'll see.

 

[coop]

Please not Eccles in the 10 again.

 

[clint van damme]

Please not Eccles in the 10 again.

I might have bad news for you.....

 

[skybluecam]

You have to wonder if Rudoni and Thomas are both 50/50, why risk them? I back Simms to come in and do well.

I imagine we’d only see Rudoni come off the bench if we need a goal. Doubt Thomas plays at all.

 

[skybluecam]

Please not Eccles in the 10 again.

Who else would you play there then?

 

[coop]

Who else would you play there then?

Asante

 

[skybluecam]

Asante

May as well just play two up top, he can’t play as a 10.

 

[Chris1987]

Asante

And you think that's better ? Eccles gets some ridiculous stick on here from some.

 

[clint van damme]

And you think that's better ? Eccles gets some ridiculous stick on here from some.

Fairly sure he said in an interview he said Lampard has told him he sees him as a 10.

 

[torchomatic]

And you think that's better ? Eccles gets some ridiculous stick on here from some.

He does, but there's no denying he was poor on Saturday.

 

[mark82]

May as well just play two up top, he can’t play as a 10.

In fairness, he did alright there earlier in the season. I'm happy with either, depends on the game. Tomorrow I'd be in the camp of starting Eccles though, bringing Asante on if we need a goal.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Been out for a long time though, and McKenna might want to keep Jack Clarke in for his penalty scumming ability.

Clarke is a better player imo, better output

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Mind games

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Eccles is a better all-round player than Asante. Asante runs around a lot and looks like a footballer ,which seems to make the opposition more aware of him. For me Eccles is ahead of him. However , they're both being shoehorned in as a 10.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Rushworth

van Ewijk - Lati - Kitching - Dasilva

Onyeka - Grimes

Sakamoto - Rudoni - Mason-Clarke

Simms
​

This is assuming Rudoni is back, Wright out injured, and Bobby not quite back yet. BTA, Esse, YMH away on Intl duty means less likely to get a start (those that had a chance anyways)
