Relegation Rivals' Weekend Fixtures (4 Viewers)

[Frostie]

Rotherham v QPR postponed, 28hrs before the event.



I'd have thought a modern stadium like theirs would have had undersoil heating but obviously not.

A win for us would be a big blow to both of these.

Pussies.

Another excuse to give players rests.

 

[Bugsy]

they should get fined or better still docked points...PUSB

Personally don't think it's a bad thing - fixture congestion for those clubs, plus less likelihood of them breaking away from us during our difficult run.

Points in the bag is always better than games in hand. The pressure is then on those clubs that have games in hand. But, first we must get points from our game for that to have the desired impact.

As for Wed v Swansea - The Swans are likely to get stronger later as they are looking for promotion. Rotherham ona good run , so that has been dampened now. So if we get points Saturday it will be a positive result al alround tbf.

Thought they were tough up north?

They are and their pitches

Didn’t city use something like this at Highfield road one year to stop the ground from freezing

 

[Johnnythespider]

I can't believe they haven't got undersoil heating at both grounds, should be a pre requisite for new stadiums.

I’d imagine Wednesday can’t afford to put it on.

Points are only better than games in hand when it’s everyone else.

At least that’s what I’ve learned from our posters

We tried it once but it was affecting defenders ability to head the ball clear

 

[Magwitch]

Didn’t we put under soil heating in at HR years ago only for it to be not deep enough and when they forked the pitch after heavy rain it punctured the pipes.

Quite handy for players playing in the hole though

 

[Magwitch]

What’s the forecast for South Wales wouldn’t bother me too much if it is off. Gives more time for our walking wounded to recover having our best players fit and available for these crunch fixtures could be key for us.

The ballon yeh we did

Slightly unrelated, but Blackburn fans wanting Mowbray out is trending on twitter.

We can beat them. Bloke doesn't have a clue.

Derby winning against Middlesborough...

 

[no_loyalty]

Barnsley winning 2-0 away at Brentford.

Chaplin got their first.

Now he is the type of striker that would suit us and style of play, was okay selling him good profit made but he wasn’t replaced.

A striker with a similar appearances to goals/assists ratio as Biamou?

A striker with less goals than one our our central midfielders and less goals than Godden (who has played far less games)?!

They are average, unless they get Armstrong away down the middle, then they are dangerous. Stop him (or the service to him) and you are halfway there (especially as Bradley Dack is carrying an extra stone or so around his gut)

???
We replaced him with Godden a few weeks later.

Chaplin is a good player but didn't fit our system so we sold him (for a profit) & brought in Godden (+ cash to put towards other signings) who was a perfect fit & integral in firing us to promotion.
It was a good move for all concerned.
