[Legia Sky Blue]

Barnsley have failed to win away all season so far, and i really don't see that changing on Saturday. 2-1.

Not been supporting us for long then?

Seasons over for me. Time to try some new things. I’d like to see us give a back four a go just for a game. The wingbacks aren’t doing their job offensively so we need more bodies at the top end of the pitch.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

If it was me H I'd really mix this up just to throw them off guard.
4-4-2
Sheaf and Ohare linking and feeding Matteson and Jones on the wings.
30 crosses into the box, Vic and Wags SURELY must get on a couple of them.
Tora Tora Tora
All over by half time, revert to 1 up front and protect the 3-0 lead, if not chuck Fabio on for Wags give him a go.

Love it Reg - although Matteson now plays for Leicester !

That true? Changing my mind then, we're fucked

1-0 Barnsley. Their first and only double of the season.

Too late for that

 

[Tommo1993]

Too late for that

It’s not even 2pm!

 

[skybluegod]

Love the negativity. We should have tonked these at the start of the season, one of those fluke results. Even if we play 10x worse I'm confident we will win.

Would like to see Jones given a go, I think Shipley gets more stick than is necessary but he's not to the level.

I'd be happy with Dabo in for Kane if fit.

 

[Johhny Blue]

It’s not even 2pm!

It’s not even 7:00 a. m. here

I’ve had enough of these mind games

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Can see us playing defensively for a 1-1 draw.

 

[Sick Boy]

1-0 defeat.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I'd drop Shipley for Jones and put Maatsen LWB. MR more likely to bring in Waghorn.

Biggest concern for me is how well the players have recovered. Could do with a good start and taking some early chances as if Barnsley are in with a chance with 10-15mins to go we could see a lot of players struggling

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

I'd make 2 change's, Tavares for Shipley and Maatson for Bidwell

Just go for it City.

If Godden is still out Robins might as well take the gamble now and try Taveres along side Vik, especially with Waghorn not being 100% fit/struggling to make an impact.

 

[ExmouthNeil]

If we play the box (we should play 2 upfront for a home game) I really like the Idea if O'Hare and Maatson. Two tricky players and Maatson might be able to give O'Hare a few pointers on shots on goal that actually go in!

 

[shepardo01]

Where's @Barnsley? Be interested to hear his take on how they have been playing - particularly how they beat QPR last week!!??

 

[Paxman II]

The usual pessimist on here. We are due a run of good results so we can start with this one.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Can people please note: it's Maatsen

I've seen Matteson. Maatson, next it'll be Mackeson and eventually Maxime - and I don't want G getting twitchy about his inevitable return

They've definitely improved of late & were well deserving of that win.
That said, it's more their home performances that have stepped up, away from home they're still struggling although we all know what usually happens in this scenario!

we’ve not been playing too badly of late but up until last week we couldn’t buy a win.

 

[shepardo01]

Sounds a bit like us!... apart from "buying a win" with our worst performance in months against Reading last week.
For us, No Hamer = no creativity- and he's still suspended against you lot on Saturday.
Confidence is currently low (I'd say) so could be interesting (for you lot!) on Saturday.... take it you are travelling down??

 

[robbiethemole]

Hamer is back for Brizzle and Godden should be too, gives Robins a selection headache hahaha( just joking for the hard of thinking)

 

[It’sabatch87]

We always beat Barnsley at home 2 or 3 nil win.

People still cannot pronounce Gyökeres properly either.

Nick from Birmingham being one of the culprits.

Give him a break. People from Birmingham can’t pronounce anything properly.

 

[sylus]

now going with 3-1. Gyökeres two and fuk it O'Hare, his due one

 

[TomRad85]

I'll wait to see the team until I make a prediction I think. We miss Hamer badly though, despite a few thinking he's overrated.

2-0 Cov.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I'm predicting it'll all be down to how the man in the middle referees - particularly in their penalty area.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Coming up to 100 years since we last lost to these at home. Hopefully their version of the Deepdale curse continues
