Stevenage (A)

[Ani]

Are we assuming will be postponed due to International call ups ?

ACD must be close to U21s if he made long squad last time. Not sure what Stevenage have and if any earlier postponements they had were due to other teams ?
 

Bradford at home is the week after and away tickets for that were sold out last week. No mention that I have seen about these.

Bradford on the website now

If ACD is called up Stevenage will be called off; I had that as a possible which is a shame so might do Bradford

I reckon we would have been happy to play it if we had 3 call ups that didnt include ACD, but can't imagine us wanting to play any games without him.

If he gets a call up it looks like a Tuesday night down there and a chance to see if @Leyther_Matt's claims that Stevenage isnt as bad a drink as you'd assume are true!

Stevenage have had both games called off this season during international breaks, but both times they have been due to the other team having 3+ players called up (Barnsley and P'Boro). Stevenage only have 2 players that get called up as far as I can see, so if ACD doesnt make the squad i can see this game being on.

We’ve gambled on the game being on the original date, purely on the basis our Caribbean players don’t have a game and Stevenage were only off because of other call ups.

It’s my birthday on the Friday so going down that morning then in to London to watch the Back to the Future musical.

Then leaves all day Saturday to enjoy the aforementioned hostelries of Stevenage High Street.

We did also book everything last time around when it got called off so hoping for better luck this time 🙈

Play your cards right & you'll know the result.

You can then bet the house AND choose whether or not to bother going. Result.

I want to tick this one off, so hoping ACD doesn't get that call up

he's never had one before, so fingers crossed

[mattbwfc19]

when do we find out who has / hasn't been called up?

[Johnnyrotten]

The general consensus is that Toal and Sheehan were a big part of us beating Cardiff.  And clearly neither of the last 2 wins happen without ACD.

So the worst case scenario might be for 2 of the 3 to be called up, leaving us depleted for playing away v a top 2 team (the last time that happened, Burton, didn't go well).

Although Sheehan was supposedly the reason we were poor at Northampton, so I've lost track of whether or not we need him in away games.

And no absolute guarantee he'll be in the squad, Wales have some decent midfielders.

That Jamie Reid their top goalscorer will be in the NI squad so that should even things up

Not sure SS would want to play any more games without Toal and Sheehan in the team at present with Erhahon injured and Firinho not having a great fitness record.

No if we have a chance of postponing games i think we would take it.

Presume the longer we leave games the thinking would be that the likes of Forrester, Dempsey, EE, McAtee and Gale would be fit/fitter.  

From the point of view of Forrester/Dempsey, their only realistic chance of getting in the squad never mind the team is if a few are missing whether its for injuries or call ups.

Yes we have cup games coming up against Huddersfield and Oldham which we may be able to ease a couple back.....Postponing the games during the International break will help us in the long run as the squad stands now

That was just the usual bollocks from the Sheehan bashers.

Brazil have already qualified so they won't be needing him

I can think of two that are completely different from each other but both right up your street!

As long as @DirtySanchez doesn’t insist on another “two pints in 10 minutes” visit to The Old Post Office 🤢

To be fair you sold it well when you told me about it, sounds better than Northampton for a start.

I've had my mind changed on Reading, so maybe the same can happen for Stevenage

I had to draw the line at the Colls game last night where one of the lads went to Wembley on Saturday but was enthusiastically talking about having a few beers in Wycombe after the game. Not having it that he was talking about the same place.
