Struggling for time this weekend, so this thread will be short
This will only be the 31st meeting between us with our record being W13 D12 L5, so while a small sample of games we have a distinct advantage over them down the years. Our away record against them is average at W5 D4 L5 and we are currently unbeaten in two games down there after winning last season 1-0.
Obviously this record is a consequence of them spending most of their years in the lower two divisions, in fact we have never played them in the top flight and they have only spent 5 seasons up there anyway. Of course for me anyway, the most important game we played against them came at Highbury in April 1983 when they beat Big Jack's team 2-1 in the FA Cup semi final, a defeat that hurt a lot as it was my first FA Cup semi, but it was also a sign we were on our way back!!!
THE ROAD AHEAD
Suspended for one game, will return against Forest!!
THE LAST MATCH
We don't do easy do we?? A poor result after a slow start but still a game we should have won. Under par performances from too many, missed chances and close refereeing decisions all led to a bad defeat.
OUR TEAM
Still no FF, and maybe still no Hutch. Nuhiu should be dropped, lets try Joao up top with Hooper and Matias behind him. Midfield looked tired but we have to stick with the best we have - Lee, Bannan and Wallace. The rest will probably be the same.
Westwood
Hunt Turner Lees Pudil
Wallace Lee Bannan
Hooper Matias
Joao
