I, like most others, have ranted raved and shouted almost every expletive since the game finished... I am not defending OC, I think he is tactically naive and not enough experience to take us where we want to be, but we have characters in that dressing room who can and will stand up and be counted next week against Stoke.

 

Funny old game, but we are a better side away fr home at the moment and a stoke mate of mine points out they are the lowest scorers in the whole football league... They are negative, even at home, already seem on holiday and feeling the effects of a Europa league season...

 

The Brit is a tough place to go for any side but to go knowing your contract, premier league career, reputation all depends on it is something that will work in our favour !

 

Maybe I am just being too optimistic and if we do drop then I will accept we weren't good enough but until then it is still possible...

 

Today has gone, lets move on to next week and save our energy from moaning until then..

 

Come on !!!!!!!!!!!

Our chances are not good but that would be the survival day that would be like winning the lottery. We win QPR lose (as they will do) but wigan go down as Wolves beat them after Rovers had also won their last game and also gone down on goal difference

Bogdan

 

Steinson wheater ream ricketts

 

Chung yong Coker Davies Pratley Petrov

 

NGog then replace with Davies

 

Could that team get the win???

 

Are you counting Pratley as a defensive midfielder, Mounts, so Mavies can get forward ?

If so, I think you might be deluding yourself. If not, then Pratley would be ineffective going forward and Mavies ineffective (yet again) further back in midfield.

If this is the last win-or-bust show this season, then gamble. Vela to support NRC in midfield (if Alonso couldn't do that), freeing up Mavies. Maybe Sordell up front as a surprise package.

We've blown just about every practise 'win-or-bust' game this season with our tried & tested players. Taking a gamble can't be any worse than 'playing safe'.

I would play Davies more advanced than Pratley but not sure Coyle sees Pratley in that role, with 5 in midfield I would not mind risking Vela, can't comment in Sordell as never seen him play.

Neither have I seen Sordell play. But I've seen N'gog, SKD and Klasnic more than enough this season; and so have Stoke, I bet.

 

Win-or-bust game. Has the club collectively got the bottle for it like the fans have.

No place for Chris Seagulls? Mom Yesterday for me (if i had to choose one) - and he also looks the man most likely to open up a defence.

He'd be one of the first names on the team sheet for me at Stoke.

Agree with that; this is not a game for bringing in a player who hasn't been fit all season ------- but neither was yesterday

 

I would go with Burnden Bogs line up with Eagles for Chungy but....... but there are many injury doubts. Maybe play SKD from the start rather than Ngog

I feel more confident of us going there for a win than going there to try and get a draw!

no we wont

Cyl is miles away from fitness

 

Should never have come on yesterday

 

 

Boggo

 

Steinsson Wheater Ream Ricketts

 

Cheung Lee Eagles NRC Mavies Petrov

 

SKD

 

We'll rip 'em a new ringpiece with this side.

Steinsson, Wheater & CYL fit enough?

it's the last game so just pump 'em full of drugs..........oh hang on a minute though.

From the number of injuries and set-backs they've had at the Reebok, they'd probably pick up the wrong syringes and give tham all a sedative.

Fuckin' hell, looks like most of 'em have been smacked off their tits since August

I thought he was shite

 

His airy fairy effort at a none tackle led to their 2nd goal before it was played down the line

 

His shoot from nowhere act wore thin very quickly yesterday too and his decision making in general was poor.

 

That said i'd start him next week

 

And fuck the fanny off the day after, whatever division we're in; the soft shit

Yh hes a puff, but hes probably our main threat going forward!

He wasn't great, but he was still better than the rest imo.

I thought Petrov was by far our most dangerous player

Eagles is generally a championship player but believes in his own ability, gives 100% and rarely goes missing

 

He is also our most likely threat of a goal currently, which isn't saying much tbf

 

So one of the 1st names down for me next week

 

And in the championship, I'd be happy to keep him

 

Stay up and he can scrub the bogs

I thought Petrov was by far our most dangerous player

 

Agreed. Been the same for about the last 10 matches at least imo.

I thought Petrov was by far our most dangerous player

 

Yep

 

West Brom shit theirselves whenever he went at them.

 

If there is hope for next week, it's him.

 

That said, it now looks likely that zat knight will play so I'll be dusting out my promotion songbook as planned.

Yep

 

If there is hope for next week, it's him.

 

 

I've heard he's an injury doubt too. Sorry.

I'm not even surprised anymore.

 

I think if me and you turn up without tickets next week, we should still get in if we take our boots.

At the very least, a position on the bench as part of the backroom staff. You bring your iPad, I'll bring a sponge, we can be the fitness and analysis coaches.
