So we once again engage the Village, this time at Hillsborough, in a "rivalry" that stretches back to the pub league in terms of the football and one that goes back to the old BBC 606 forum in terms of the banter. Since then we gained promotion together, have both managed to consolidate in the Championship and both moved to first New606 and then onto here from a fans perspective!! In the 10 meetings since we got to know each other we definitely have the upper hand with a record of W4 D4 L2 and this fixture has been a pivotal one in terms of shaping somewhat our seasons.
But this season its maybe different. Their new manager seems to have changed the way they play and as a consequence they will present a completely different proposition than they have in previous years. I haven't seen them play at all this season but I think they play a more pressing game and try to play on the ground. Still even though this is a tough game, it has been a decent fixture for us so there is no reason why we cannot keep that going.
Last seasons home fixture saw us come from 1-0 down to score three goals in the last 12 minutes, that will do nicely again please!!!
THE LAST MATCH
Who really cares, it was the FA Cup and we lost, nuff said!!
Here is the video!!.......................................only kidding, don't need to watch that again!!
WHO'S IN AND WHO'S OUT
Do we have any new injuries, I haven't heard of any so apart from the perennial injured players we should be at full strength. Hooper may be back but I think it will be on the bench. So once again it comes down to CC's team and formation selection. I assume he will likely go 442 but he may also go 451 and have Forestieri as the floating midfielder. Here is my team:
Westwood
Palmer Loovens Lees Pudil
Abdi Hutchinson Bannan
Forestieri
Fletcher Joao
What team would you like to see??
WHO'S THE BASTARD IN THE BLACK
Ref - GRAHAM SCOTT
David Bryan and Derek Eaton
Fourth Official James Adcock
Bizarrely this is the same guy that reffed our game at their place earlier this season!!!
