I don't think he will start Drysdale and so we will only have 2 first team CB's

Might start watson in the back 3

Might start watson in the back 3

Not a bad shout.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Not a bad shout.

Since we've ditched the 4-3-3 we haven't lost!

 

[shmmeee]

Is Pask ready yet?

 

[Nick]

My worry with the defence is when they bring somebody like Calvin Andrew on. I am not too sure Drysdale would be able to deal with him.

He would be the ideal player for McFadzean as well.

Good article on player of the month Ian Henderson here. Nearly 80% of his teams goals is crazy

This is the striker we should have gone for

2 foot him early doors and we win.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

He’s 34 and I reckon Rochdale would be looking for even more than what we paid for Gooden because he’s irreplaceable for them

Good article, but it says 80% of his goals have come in the last 6 years, not that he has scored 80% of his team's goals #pedantsruleok

Hardly pedantic, scoring 80% of his teams goals would be ridiculous

Unless you're called Messi !

Unless you're called Messi !

Maybe if Messi played for Rochdale.

That’s nothing. 80% of Biamou’s goals have been in his last two games

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Really hope Baka hits the ground running in this game and gets a couple, got a feeling he'll get a few any time now

 

[covcity4life]

will it be 352? what formation was it in fa cup?

 

[Dimi_Konstantflapalot]

will it be 352? what formation was it in fa cup?

It was more a 3-4-2-1 with Kelly/Walsh in the 4 and Shipley/Westbrooke buzzing around Baka.

Wishful thinking here I’m afraid Dom

I rekon all of the forwards apart from Max and Godden will be shipped out in Jan

Robins will probably try to sell Hiwula also

I think the same mate

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

I think the same mate

Hopefully we'll get a pacey striker in on loan and then 1 on a perm, possibly Rose from Mansfield

Godden is alright at holding the ball up plus max can do it too so we won't need a target man

Don't think MR is likely to find a taker TBH and as they're out of contract end of year it'd have to be on a free.

If he can get them off the wage bill for a minimal pay-off he'd look for others but I can only see it happening very late in the window and not give him much time to bring someone in. It'd only be a short term loan of a youngster if anything.

Although MR does seem to have players he just doesn't fancy I think we're far more likely to be in a situation where we'd be looking at how we might get Ponti involved once his loan ends, even if just off the bench or in case Godden suffers a setback.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

So without the 3 sides directly above us not playing tomorrow we can go third with a win

Rochdale have some good form away from home, picking up the same amount of points as Oxford and Wycombe and carry a big goal threat in Ian Henderson who has 8 goals in 17 games this season

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

We play well and we win (provided we don't have another completely inept officials - apologies in advance to Adge, but if that costs us again, I'm not going to be impressed).

 

[Skybluefaz]

I've got no confidence today for some reason. Hopefully that means we win comfortably. It's a big one really with the games ahead. Need the 3 points.

 

[mrtrench]

This is CCFC, lose this one...

Then beat Sunderland and Ipswich

and i would snap your hand off at that right now!

You might well snap my hand off, however as much as I'd love to help, I cannot guarantee the results of these games. However I'll give it a go for £10 a game if you want - so £30 up front.

Just a comment - if I were buying results I'd want the three wins. Paying £10 so that we lose the next game seems mean-spirited.

 

[cc84cov]

3 points today if we are serious about promotion hopefully 3-0...

probably 0-0 not looking forward to watching Baka up front either

 

[no_loyalty]

I'm predicting a tight game today, think we will sneak a 1-0 win. Drysdale to come in for McFadz, and Hiwula for Biamou.

 

[cc84cov]

would like to see Hiwula up front today

marosi
Dabo Hyam Drysdale Rose McCallum
Westbrooke kelly O’Hare
Hiwula Baka

 

[hill83]

7-0 to us today

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Right god loves a trier

I’m having a few quid on Hyam first goal city to win 2-1 .

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Live commentary on Talksport 2 this afternoon for those outside the area or those who want our players names pronounced correctly and an accurate account

 

[Nick]

2-2, they will score a pen.

 

[Gibbo]

Unusually confident today, I can feel it in my waters (but that might be the medication). Don't know why. 3-1. He sticks with the Colchester formation, preferring players who in form even if they are slightly out of position.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Excited for this one, first time I’ve made it down since Southend. 6 of us going, enjoying a few establishments in Brum beforehand.

Feeling 1-0 us, we should be too strong for them.
