I’d rather fill in the gap in our score lines by getting 6.

Save the 8 for the Blades on Tuesday

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.

But he is right about Chester being their main rival.
I'm related to some Wrexham supporters and know a Chester ST holder who lives in Cov.

That's definitely both clubs Derby game

Shrewsbury is according to google a 31 mile drive and Birkenhead a 32.5 mile drive. So that bit is pretty spot on.

As for prediction it will be like the Portsmouth game I think and we’ll win 3-1 when they get a lot of the ball in the last 10 mins

Gonna predict a draw. Seven wins in a row would be an all time club record. 1-1

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.

The formation deployed at Portsmouth wasn't any more defensive than usual, we still created a lot. It's horses for courses and makes sense to play three centre backs against a team that tends to put a lot of crosses in.

Will be interesting to see how we go against their box formation. More about nullifying Moore and I’m not sure you need three CBs to do that. If Torp if fit I might be tempted to stick to 4231 and move BTA out wide for a bit more control.

If we lose tonight we will still be top of the table after the weekend games whatever the other results are.

Middlesbrough are away to Watford. Watford are better than the league position suggests. Stoke v Bristol City is 5th v 4th.

Charlton are in 6th and we have 50% more points than them.


It's time to relax Pete. Save yourself for any time 3rd could go past us. That's Millwall who we beat 0-4 at their place

Of course it is more defensive.

They have one player who is a threat, so you'll have to forgive me for thinking shitting the bed is a bit unnecessary. We have about six players they should be afraid of, so sacrificing one of them to babysit Moore seems over the top when Kitching and Thomas are more than capable of handling it.

I don't think we have played outstandingly post international break but we have been solid defensively & clinical in attack when we have chances, which in the end wins what win's league titles. If we do the basic well tonight, limit the mistakes & take our chances we win comfortably.

I don't think it does given that Moore is usually isolated on his own and it's likely we would have 3 players around 1 player.

If we win though it could look even more incredible. I'm convinced Watford will beat Middlesbrough. Potentially 6 points (plus the GD) clear of 2nd after 13 games....

I'll help you out Pete.

I'm super positive for this one and think we'll win it easily. Defo a touch of over-confidence, I get that but we're top, even with some 'lesser' performances, we're still winning and scoring goals.

I get that defeat is going to happen sometime, but I genuinely can't see it happening for a while.

I can't wait for tonight. Get the kids in bed after trick or treating, large vodka and coke and then watch us put Hollywood FC to the sword.

The same could be said about Colby Bishop but that's what Lampard went with.

Think we just need to match the 3 in midfield and the rest will sort itself out if ours forwards carry on the way they have started I can see another 3/4-1 win.I also think they have more than just Moore who can cause us problems.If Hyam plays on the left Saka will have him run ragged.Hadji needs to stand up to there tactics of pulling and trying too out muscle forwards.Early goal kills the crowd.But I'm still nervous hate watching it on TV.

The big positive going into this game, is we are playing against the team who give the most clear cut chances away outside of Wednesday.

If our strikers play how they have been we should get several chances especially when they are having to play CBs out of position and we will double up on the flanks

Really looking forward to this. New ground for my son. Last time I went there was early 90s, but I might be making that up. Was it in the cup? Can't remember.

Leaving at 12, Travelodge booked.

I'm nervous about tonight, but only in the context of keeping our great run going. I do think we will be too strong for them, but Moore is a threat and Bobby and Kitch need to keep him quiet. I can easily see us getting a 3-0 win, equally being defeated 1-0. Fingers crossed Torp is back and Haji is firing. I'll go for a comfortable 2-0.

Agreed they will score, but if our strikers perform how they have been we should decimate them
