[St Charles Owl]

THE MATCH - SATURDAY 16TH SEPTEMBER 2016 at 5.30PM BST

   V     

Potentially tough away game against a team I thought may just be a surprise challenger for a playoff spot this season.  And so far they have done well, sitting in 5th spot, but only a single point ahead of us.  Their results have been up and down from an impressive 3-0 home win against Norwich to a 3-1 home defeat against neighbors Wolves, so their home form has been inconsistant to say the least.  Maghoma is still playing for them, but Donaldson is the one getting the goals, with 3 so far.  

This will only be our 112th match against them having an even record of W33, D24, L34, so this is the game to win to completely even up 124 years worth of games!!  Our away record is atrocious though at W7, D15, L24, although we have won the last two games there so it is getting better!!  Last year we won 2-1 with two late Gary Hooper goals, so a repeat of that would be lovely!! Here is the video of that win:





THE LAST MATCH

I suppose come the end of the season when we get promotion to the Moneybags League we will look back on the Brizzle game and really not know how so much can happen in one game!!  Shite first half from us , great first half from a loanee from Chelsea for them,   down 2-0!!   Bit better at the start of the second   and Fletcher gets one back   , we seemed to have some life in us finally , then Hutch stumbles and brings down their striker   and our hopes are dashed when they get a penalty .  But wait, they hit the pen against the post , the ball literally rebounds to midfield, where a quick through ball sends Hooper clear but he is brought down by O'Neill , who gets a yellow card and therefore a red card and its 10 v 10 and our tails are right up !!!  After that is was virtually one way traffic, with us pretty much all over them .  Bannan gets us level when O'Donnell lets a 35 yarder through his hands   and then in the 96th minute a neat move by Lee in the box gives him space and he rifles home the winner from the edge of the 6 yard box!!!            Seriously, some on here were pissed off, but you cannot fault the entertainment value of that one and boy I will never turn down the 3 points no matter how they arrive!!

A video we might all watch a few times!!




WHO'S IN AND WHO'S OUT

Hutchinson is out (does he get a one match ban or three match??) but unless Pudil picked up an injury then everyone else I think is available.  CC likes to tinker with the team doesn't he??  Lets hope he tinkers again with that first half team but I give up trying to predict who he will play!!  Here is my team:

Westwood

Palmer  Lees  Loovens  Emanuelson

Lee  Abdi  Bannan  Reach

Forestieri

Fletcher
