THE MATCH - TUESDAY 31ST JANUARY 2017 at 7.45PM BST

   V     

After thee disappointment at Brighton and the a long period without a game, we return to league action with a game against a team who simply cannot buy a win currently. I thought at the start of the season that Brizzle would potentially challenge the playoff spots and they started that way at the beginning of the season. But since then they have plummeted down the table and have now lost 13 of their last 20 games and their last 8 in a row!!!! If we were to hand pick an opponent, then they are it!!!!

Not played them many times but our record at their place is quite good and we have only lost 2 of our last 10 visits there. This is a game we can and should win, and provides the perfect platform to bounce back form last weeks game.

Last seasons away league fixture saw us come away with bugger all and our worst defeat of the season I think.  The team that day included Wildsmith, Nuhiu, McGeady, Turner and Lopez so maybe the result wasn't such a surprise!! Don't need a repeat of that but just in case we need reminding of what can happen if we switch off here is the video:




THE LAST MATCH

Sickening end to a game that actually saw us play well enough to win!!! Two red cards, a missed penalty to put us 2-1 up and a general attitude of getting rattled too easily caused the defeat. This was a classic game that turned on one event - the penalty for us. Had Forestieri scored that I am sure we would have gone on to take all three points as they were also down to 10 men, but the way we capitulated in the last quarter of the game was galling to see!!!

Here is the video - not for the feint of heart!!




WHO'S IN AND WHO'S OUT

No Hutchinson and no Fletcher after their red cards, so who will play instead?? I assume we will see Winnall up front and Jones in midfield, but we do have other options. Here is my team:

Westwood

Palmer  Loovens  Lees   Pudil

Abdi Jones Bannan  

Forestieri
Winnall Joao

AAAAA

Wont be here for this one as ive arranged to change my license plates tuesday which means all day stood in a xxxx que from dusk till dawn could be worst though i suppose yep i could have to suffer this

Anyway we are due a win here like at most grounds as weve not won since pieowl was a kid i think we might sneak it scrap that will we xxxx Jones will to come in for Hutch thats nailed on and i think Reach and pudil will stay as they where with winnall being dropped for Hooper not that he deserves it as hes had no service and we would be better of playing all 3 attacking options and dropping Wallace who walks around in a daze but thats what cc will do its so bloody obvious niether will he drop loomins for sasso neither will he take the two planks from the bench

Hold on to your hats its going to be a screamer

---

Games of interest today are Norwich v Birmingham and Reading v Cardiff cant see any going in our way ? and Reading like leeds will push out of sight unless we take 6 pts from the next two games ?

[Imre varadi]

Looks like Norwich have won which puts them 2pts behind us and back in the race with derby !!

[Statesideowl]

Nice one, SCO. Been a bit busy and have a lot going on so I'm late on the ball!
