We beat them in the cup, when Bellend played for us. Edit: also 2-1 win when Duckens Nazon scored ( had to Google his name. Thought he was the new saviour at the time!)

Did you do Stevenage, Doncaster, the 4-0 pumping at Rotherham, how about the shambles in the rain at Swindon, and Gillingham 'master class'? Did you get chips in Crewe from across the road, ( best chips ever ), visit Crawley or the neanderthals of Port Vale?

Only then can you be considered for Super Fan status!!

I also witnessed a strike force consisting of Andre Wright and Dan Agyei, that’s immediate super fan territory.

Crewe just brings back memories of that horrendous McSheffrey free kick in the last few minutes of the JPT (I think) second leg where we were desperate for a goal.

Surely Sakamoto would be perfect to exploit Hyam out of position on the left of the 3?

The Americans are just getting home from finishing work which probably counts for 95% of their online support. You can't fault their dedication, after losing to the Cardiff Cheetahs, they are still being positive.

I think Da Silva will be targeted tonight as there ring wing back is a decent player and if Clarke plays he never seems to give him any back up.Hopefully we come out the blocks flying and get another few early goals

We keep saying what we think they will be doing, and that we will need to go 5 at the back (which is what it is, not a 3).

Realistically they need to be thinking about what we will be doing. We are far better than them and there needs to be a bit more belief from some on here.

4-3-3, no shoe horning Wolfenden in for the sake of it. Fucking go at them. If their back line is anything like it was in the week, we should beat them 8-0.

From the sounds of it Sheaf could be back too, at least for 20 mins until he gets injured again, so we can expect him to cuck for Grimes and Torp.

By “they’ll target Dasilva” do you mean sometimes they’ll attack down their right? Also who is Clarke?

I guess making up weird exaggerations is a hobby. Not one I’d go for but I paint Warhammer so I can’t complain.

That for some reason was a typing error i also put ring instead of wing fricking predictive text.I meant the lad down the right they have on loan Kabore.I think we have plenty to beat these.

He did look good against Boro. I’m not feeling confident today. Just feel they’ll want to put a performance in and we’re starting to wobble a bit performance wise. But I think that every game and then we win, so…

I dont think we have wobbled performance wise. We are going to give up chances, that's the championship and that's football. Problem is now that if a team has a few shots on target we are "having a wobble". Teams will score against us and we will lose a game this season. (Not tonight though)

Starting to. Letting in goals, scoring less, xG not what it was. Just tiny things.

We’ve been managing without Rudoni for what will now be 7 games, more recently we had to start with a Grimes-Allen midfield. Still finding ways to win games and we’re still extremely clinical in front of goal.

We do also have to lose eventually. Preferably not against these twats though.

Exactly this. Missing 2 of our midfield 3, 2 huge players let's be honest. Go up against Watford who have one of the leagues outstanding players in midfield and plenty of pacey runners was never going to be easy, but frankly despite the stats, the game was killed pretty early. Finding different ways to win is actually really satisfying.

Yeah it just becomes more likely the longer the run goes on. I’d rather tonight than either of the next two tbh. And then we’re into games against those around us. This winning lark is stressful

I can rely on FP to find something wrong with almost anything I post. He's like a stalker.

Better check your maps and the league tables. Chester miles down and Chester and Shrewsbury are both in England. Not sure Tranmere are competition, but the Wirral is sort of No Man's Land.

We need our midfielders back sooner rather than later, but let’s be honest: we controlled Portsmouth very effectively and should have won by more. Watford are just a good side and we had a weak midfield.

I think we have a good chance of making it to the next break unbeaten, and then the run from that to January is the hardest of the season.

I kind of always class pretty much every away game as tough. Always been a happy with any away point kinda guy but I really think we'll win this one. I'd need to see the team sheet but we should just be too good for these.
Now I'm starting to get confident is probably when I'll be slapped down though.

If it were me (and I know nothing) I would be play 4-3-3 as usual, but with Woolfie rather than Thomas and Allen in midfield doing the snappy dirty stuff. Then bring Torp on after an hour or so to get him up to speed

Oh and I'd say to EMC that if he wants to play a full 90 minutes he's got to deliver more penetration down the left. Lots of crosses to their dodgy back 3

Im thinking 3-5-2 tonight.
The Wolf comes into the line up to cope with the threat from Moore upfront. And Dasilva and KKH given licence to bomb forward.
2-0 City
