THE LAST MATCH

Oh dear   If that early chance for May had gone in this thread would be a lot more upbeat   After that miss the rest of the match followed an entirely predictable script   TBF, when I saw the makeshift defence I thought we were on a hiding to nothing. But, as I said, I think we would have won comfortably if May had buried that chance

Nuff said   lets move on  


And if it wasn't for these inspirations

GET YER COAT DEAR  



THE MATCH

Ipswich at home   brings our favourite dingle to town   who will probably have SG tied up in knots and blown out of his shitter before HT in the tactical awareness battle  
 
TUESDAY 30th SEPT - KO 19:45 BST

This lot are red hot at the moment and, with Irish Mick in charge, I'd take a point right now    I get the feeling that SG will play our rigid 4-4-2 and McCarthy will have them running rings round us in midfield   once he's stopped laughing at our tactics  

REF WATCH

We've been dealt another upcoming ref in the form of Darren Bond   although I have no complaints about the last ref   who was hardly mentioned on Satdi   Let's hope Mr Bond is just as anonymous

CURRENT FORM


Us -         
Them -            

Last four head to heads at our gaff don't make pretty reading  

1 - 1
1 - 1
0 - 1
0 - 0

STATTO CORNER

According to the Beeb reports, we have now had 128 attempts in League games of which 32 have been on target   ie made the goalie work   a ratio of 1 in 4 hitting the target which doesn't seem that bad   The problem is that over the last four games we have had 65 attempts and only been on target 10 times   which is about 1 in 8.5   Taking it further, there have only been 3 games in which I think our ratio of attempts to attempts on target are acceptable   The ones highlighted  

BHA 5-1
Derby 21-7
Millwall 10-2
Boro 12-5
Trees 15-7
Noblot 24-4  
Brum 15-3
Reading 16-2  
Taffys 10-1

And saying "well we won some of the games"" where our shooting was crap doesn't wash with me   because our continued inability to hit the target will bite us on the arse more often than it won't  

OTHER FIXTURES OF MILD INTEREST

Derby v Bournemouth
Middlesbrough v Blackpool
Millwall v Birmingham
Norwich v Charlton
Rotherham v Blackburn


ON TO THE TEAM

Please can Hutch, Lee and Lees be available   or we are fucked   Although SG did go 3-5-2 at one stage on Satdi   just had the wrong personnel on the pitch to do it  

Why didn't he play Dielna at CB   is he shit   Just got to pray that Lees is fit, which shows how threadbare we are  

I suspect it will be as you were   with the NEW JJ coming on for the last half hour to knock some balls into the Kop

I see me going to the pub did not have it's desired effect on the result on Saturday! Young un enjoyed his day out in Cardiff, even if we did not get the result he craved.

The team HAS to be

Westwood
Palmer Lees Loovens Mattock
Drenthe Hutchinson Semedo Helan
May Nuhiu

Maguire HAS to sit out now, it seems he has offered very little thus far this season and I think MS is right, he is very average but seems to have the big "I AM" attitude as if he thinks he's our version of Ronaldo or Messi or summat, he needs a reality check, he was in good scoring form last season but this season he has gotten too comfortable for my liking and has produced very, very little. I know some have moaned about Drenthe but he is a quality player once SG will give him the confidence to start games and then he'll show his quality, he ISN'T a sub, he needs to start games, he was an ever present for Real Madrid FFS for 2 seasons till immaturity in his attitude took over his talent. At 27 surely he will now want to show how good he is and if SG uses him right, puts his arm round him and shows belief in him...then he'll produce the goods, he's the kind of player who wants to feel wanted & he isn't a one man team either, a positive player yes but he has the ability to put in crosses too (judging by his early days). RD will be desperate to make a good impression. If he starts tomorrow night then it will be his big chance, he has made a few sub appearances and should be match fit by now.

Think we'll get back to winning ways tomorrow Don't know why just have a good feeling about it

Some good news for everyone ...






Kieran Lee is fit enough to be included in tomorrows squad!!!!

[Maddix]

No Thurny. It's when you deliberately go one above my prediction followed by the inevitable of Consilio going one below. That's what pisses me off.

[Statesideowl]

Nice one Maddix!

Definitely need 3pts from this so we can kick on and forget this past week. the players need it and so do we. I agree with Chez I think Maguire has shown in the last couple of games he's either fatigued or just not cutting it.
Hutchinson being back is a godsend, hopefully he can rally up a performance from the rest.

I'll go with 19,450

HAHDA B'pool up for surprise first win.

As the strikers have been struggling to find the back of the net we'll have some striker 'meggo's' up ( Even if used recently )

Big D!

That pic looks like Consilio after a dosage of the DJ porn
