We can’t all be wrong, can we?

Now that we have all predicted it I expect us to lose 6-0

Knowing our luck, RCC will end up getting subbed on when the goalie breaks his wrist, and will then score direct from a goal kick,

They've been rubbish at home this season so I expect them to finally find their foem this evening! I presume we'll only play well in the second half.

 

[skybluegod]

Yeah, all both of you can't be wrong.

There is 3... awkward...:banghead::grumpy:

Are you thinking it's 4-4-2? I think MR (unfortunately) is gonna play his usual 4-2-3-1 with Nazon just behind Biamou.
Would like to see it 4-4-2 though with Kelly in a slightly advanced position in the middle.

On a side note, Hussey is out for them, so that's one less goal to worry about, although seem to remember that Matty Taylor always scores against us?

Well that's part of the problem for me, I don't see it as a 4-2-3-1 as neither Beavon or Nazon play deep enough to be the middle of a 3 and end up higher in a more classic 2nd striker position just behind the 9. Which turns it into a 4-4-2 with very deep CMs and a huge hole in the middle, hence no creativity centrally.

 

[skybluegod]

We have a bad record against them. 4th game in three years for me tonight. I think I will recognise 3 players Willis,budge and Jones. A bit like Watford away 82/83.

Yep don’t think we have beaten them since 1964 or something have we in the league?
But hopefully that will end tonight

 

[Esoterica]

That's the XI I'd go with


15 mins at a brisk walk!

We've scored 2 goals in 9 games in the first half, he can take his time!

Yep, but unfortunately I am not Nostradamus.

Will probably suit us tonight. Swindon like to fly out of the traps apparently, so having the 2 DM’s tonight will be important at the start of each half to make sure we just stay nice and compact.

Feed Biamou and he will score.

2-1 City win to finally end the winless run against them

 

[lifeskyblue]

I will happily take a point tonight but like many others I'm thinking we will nick this.

I’ve got money on 2-0 City Biamou any time.

 

[Otis]

Anyone else a bit worried about the line-up tonight? Seems a bit overly attacking perhaps and therefore slightly unbalanced.

We will either win or lose 3-0.

Agree, was saying I like DKE and Jones on the wingfor this game so we have the option to counter from both sides of the pitch, rather than building through Vincenti.

 

[Nick]

Come on then, from the off

 

[Pete in Portugal]

Funnily enough I asked my missus to just get me a drink and she came back with some fizzy, orangey stuff.

I said 'What is this?' And she replied 'This is Pop.'

Sounds like grounds for a divorce Otis.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

1-1 with the Duck to score ours.

A win is fine though.

Wrong band, Pete.

I'm confident Rod will build another wall :happy:

Rod will need to be immense again, not much heading ability in this team, so a bit concerned about them getting to the bi-line or set pieces.

 

[Nick]

Doesn't look like many of their fans there.

Maybe Robins is trying to debunk the suggestion we are only a second half team.
Go gung ho for a 4-0 half time lead and then strangle it second half with a 5-5-0 formation??

I was born in 64, oops !

With the current injuries, I don't think there's many others to pick from in midfield or attack unless he dips into the kids squad.

Well if it all goes down the shitter it'll be Dyno-Rod.

 

[Esoterica]

SBA sounding almost as loud as the sound system on iFollow.

 

[fatso]

Massive night for Biamou tonight, he needs to show he has what it takes to be the first choice striker.

 

[sw88]

Looks like a 442 set up

 

[Otis]

Hope so.

When Vincenti plays he also offers a bit of defensive support. Beavon and McNulty both work really hard.

Nazon and Biamou I don't think will help out at the back at all and so with DKE, Nazon, Jones and Biamou there is not a lot of defensive help capability.

Let's hope we keep attacking and keep scoring.

 

[sw88]

Jodi wins possession, runs from our half before getting his legs taken out

 

[Nick]

Dont mind that, I reckon Duck and Biamou could work. They could talk in french to bamboozle their defence

 

[Nick]

Early foul on Jones, let him know your thre.

 

[sw88]

McDonald heads wide after we eventually cross after the free kick

 

[sw88]

Possession won on the half way line, Biamou played in with a long ball, keeper forced into a save

Could have hit it earlier

 

[Nick]

Doyle puts Biamou through nicely, keeper saves.

 

[oucho]

That's something we're all just going to have to get used to this season unfortunately. The other teams will know he is our main threat and take him out accordingly.
