Sorry to be a bit dense... What are VPN'ers? Is it available through Virgin on Red Button?

People who pretend to be abroad so they can watch games that aren’t available in the U.K.

Not attending this one as on a pointless conference with work!! I can’t see anything other than a win here!! PUSB

Why would we sell first season back in the Prem?

In all seriousness you’ve got to back the manager to be able to move the squad on regardless. If we lost Sheaf, Hamer, O’Hare and Györkeres he’d have £20m min to play with. That’s an entire first XI of any of those.

I’m more worried we don’t get any offers and can’t progress the squad TBH.

I think if we retain the squad and are able to add another 2 or 3 of similar quality we’ll be challenging next year. Especially given the current players will have developed further.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Moore
Hyam - Fadz - JCS
Kane - Sheaf - Hamer - Bidwell
O’hare - Maatsen
Gyökeres​

4-0 win, Gyo x2, Maatsen x1 and JCS x1

Agree with that line up, but Blackpool are playing really well at the moment. So expect a tough game 2-1 PUSB's

So are we TBF, we just keep playing top teams.

Can’t see a fit Eccles not starting

Based on Saturday I would.

Agreed, but if Boddy's comments in the recent window were anything to go by I'd wager it's pretty likely that we'll sell someone in the summer.

Well it's not just that either is it .
Keeps Kane on his toes to get back in ,much like him coming in over Dabo.

 

[procdoc]

I’d bring Kane in for the fresh legs as much as anything. I’d be tempted to bring Allen is as well

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Tough game think we will win 1-0 Fadz with a header

 

[larry_david]

Could be a very interesting line up. Win is crucial. Win is what we'll get

 

[ccfcchris]

Tough tight game. Hopefully 1-0 to us.

 

[shmmeee]

I hope we fucking smash them. The recent performances have deserved giving someone a tonking.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I'd love it we could just score a couple of those good chances every game so we're in with a fighting chance of winning them.

 

[Ann Proctor-Brown]

1-1

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

1-1

Who scored ?
Was hoping we'd have beaten them, as I still haven't forgiven their muppet fans for acting the big 'un at The Trillion back in L1.
Never mind - always next time.

Save that for Luton, we owe them one. Fuck it lets smash Blackpool as well.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Back in the UK, hoping to head down tomorrow.

Have tickets for this match, I take it Covid checks have been dropped?

Yep

We need to start taking advantage of games in hand. Looking around where we are, we are either 1, 2 or 3 games in hand with those around us. We are only 5 points off the play-off slot. Not saying we are going to win every match in hand but we need to make things count!
Anyway, what do I know? G'night!

We’re doing pretty well so far with games in hand

If Rose is dropped for this I’m not sure what he has to do to get in the team

Develop his game as an AM.

Ma de me smile - from the Blackpool forum

'Coventry are one of only two British teams to have an elephant on their crest. Who is the other?'

Somebody replied: Dumboartan..........

...ahead of Kane?

Doubtful Eccles is a centre midfield player and gives Robins a bit of a nice delema Maatsan for example gave a super performance in midfield everyone fit we have a bloody strong group with all sorts of options would start same back three as Saturday but looked JCS. might have took a bit of a knock at the end fingers crossed on that. I think we are due to wallop someone let’s hope it’s tonight.

Back to back 4-1s would be something special

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Blackpool are a good team - just won 3 on the bounce; after Saturday's excursion, any type of win will be welcome. Come on City, pre-match rituals already started (2 slices of toast at about 9ish, followed by 8 cans of White Lightning and a couple of snorts of Persil non-bio)

 

[SSB]

I for one won’t be looking forward to the summer window if we finish in the play offs. Worried our top players will go

One player will more than likely go anyway regardless of where we finish this season.

Seppala missed out on a medal in the skiing/shooting malarkey in Beijing. Not sure how that will affect the budget for next season? Maybe the handbags affected her shooting skills?

Pity she wasn’t a target
