Very interesting that Hamer and Godden are there.... surely they must have had to get permission from the gaffer!??

 

[Johhny Blue]

Nobody has said yet that they’d be happy with a point tomorrow

Gotta be a win surely

Why? Have they been told not to hang around with O’Hare?

I think we’ll get a point but I won’t be happy about it.

You can have some of my positive energy. I have lots.

Doesnt sit right at all with me that

As long as he's not drinking, not too much of an issue.

It certainly won't look good if we fail to pick up 3 points.

Bit different these days. I've played at levels (well) below the Championship where there has been a curfew and the management staff like you to be relaxing and not doing activities the night before a game.
Hopefully:
i) the manager gave permission
ii) they were in a box type thing sat on comfy seats
iii) they were home at a very reasonable time....

If Hamer pulls up with a hamstring injury today, there'll be hell to pay!!

Who did you play for in League 1?

 

[clint van damme]

Who did you play for in League 1?

Melchester Rovers

I did have a mate who tore his ACL at a Deftones gig, but I doubt there’s much risk of injury from a Tom Grennan show.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We pay towards their wages, and if they cannot prepare properly the night before a game where a win could get us onto the fringes of the play offs with 10 to go i find that a joke

Interesred to see if both put in a stinker

They should all be in the Grange. Breakfast with Fletch, Curtis and Marcel before heading down to the Lair

 

[SBT]

I do find it a joke that anyone would willingly go to a Tom Grennan gig, but I suppose it’s more acceptable if you’re a footballer and can get in for free.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Grennans been to enough Cov games when they've been shit. They probably think they owe him

i still somehow blame the perm haired twat for O'Hare's hamstring injury pre-season. Not sure why, but just a feeling I get in my bollocks.

Is your mate called Sean by any chance?

No, it’s Jodi.

I get that, but sort of disagree. It’s not just the beer, I imagine it’s not the usual chilled and easy going pre game night. Plus they’ll likely be back late - especially if they do the niceties after etc - so won’t get an ideal sleep.

Sounds silly, but small things really matter these days.

Wouldn’t care as much if wasn’t Hamer, but with our current injury crisis, he’s the only creative player we have!

Let’s see
He’s earned the right to be trusted this season
His performances have been outstanding
His control has been exceptional since the two red cards
His support and mentoring of Eccles has been outstanding
His fitness is remarkable. His and yok playing so much week in week out as the players moving the team on that’s amazing

So let’s be slow to jump on his back for what we see as unprofessional he’s proven to be a consummate professional

I seem to have a recollection of something very similar last year where he was out the night before a game and he then went on to have a great game.

I thought most footballers these days spent the night before games playing FIFA into the small hours?

If they’re not out all night getting wrecked on Jagerbombs and crowd surfing then I’m just happy for Gus and COH to be feeling relaxed and happy to be living in the Cov area.

Is this the Coventry area according to Tim Fisher rules?

 

[SBT]

I did once think I saw Lee Hughes crowdsurfing at an Idlewild gig at the Wulfrun in 2003…..he scored zero goals for WBA that season, so just goes to show.

I don't think anyone is jumping on his back. It is a little surprising though in this day and age when it's all about marginal gains. I suspect Hull players would have all been in their hotel rooms on a 9pm curfew.

That said, trust the guy, he has earned that like you say.

I get all that Pete, and I also know as a poster you are always quick to the defence of players and the team, which is great.

In this case however, it isn’t needed - it wasn’t jumping on his back, but as ferret said it’s a surprise he’s out.

Clearly I hope he has an absolute stormer today (and every game) whatever his pre match routine.

 

[rexo87]

He probably does it every week. This time he's just been seen

I agree, but still not happy about this. Hes a proffesional.

 

[theferret]

Crowd looking decent, especially if block 27 also pretty full today with the community tickets. Decent walk up and should be biggest home turn out of the season.

 

[rexo87]

Looks like 23k I reckon

Hamer's not an athlete - pre-season vid, other players talked about him hating the gym - so if he performs and turns up for sh*t on time, cool.

Maybe Godden knows he's not starting so being in total peak condition isn't so critical. I'd rather Robins show players trust and not be a Capello.

Weather being a bit better than expected might help the walk up. At one point this week the forecast for this afternoon was snow and sub zero temperatures.
