Gus isn't a 10, that midfield could work in a 6 and 2 8's system though

This is what I mean, unless he’s actually tried and failed in that role (which I don’t actually know if he has) then it could be worth trying it for a half. He’s got the same kind of tireless energy that COH has, and a greater attacking attributes.

Just postulating, really.

We should be winning this as even though they are more organised under McCatrthy they are still pretty shit.

2 or 3 - 1 to us and some c**t will fall in teh sea

Probably Greggs. Attempting flight.

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

I think more likely you'd have Sheaf sitting and Eccles and Hamer given license to get forward more either side of him.

Interesting, I didn’t think about that. I don’t have the most tactical brain though, in truth.

Think Eccles is the cdm

 

[PVA]

Think Eccles is the cdm

I think it'd be Sheaf, like the other night.

Robins has said Eccles is capable of playing further forward too.

I don't think it's necessarily any named individual sitting (Sheaf didn't really the other night) they might just rotate between them

1-0 godden

 

[CV22SBA]

1-0 godden

Doubt he'll play now Sheaf is back.

I think their 6-1 win on Tuesday might just help us as they'll come out and play instead of sitting back and nullifying our passing game.

Hopeful for 3 points..

It's typical City though. They give us hope of the playoffs, then play crap for a few games to piss on our chips.

Yeah, I think that result might actually be to our advantage. They'll come at us instead of looking for a scrappy 1-0 win, and that will leave space for our counter attacks. Have a feeling we might maul them. 0-3 City.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

1-0 godden

Get in

 

[Kieranp96]

If robins don’t learns from that Wigan and hull games we get turned over here, a team fighting for their life is a lot more dangerous

This club has made me way too angry over the years for sure lol, even more than the American pro teams I follow haha.Call me crazy but I have a different feeling about this group of players though. 2-0 City Vik with a brace.

I other robins learns from that Wigan and hill games or we get turned over here, a team fighting for their life is a lot more dangerous

Somebody several pints in at Blackpool already?

No my spell check is retarded, and I am to for not proof reading. Unfortunately won’t be 2 pints in at Blackpool at all bought tickets of Facebook after booking plane to fly back and got scammed and haven’t been able to find anymore spare ones.

Madine has done his ACL.

He terrorised us last game.

We didn't have a fit striker for that game. Palmer a libero false 9 !!

Blackpool seemd to create all their chances from set pieces or moves out wide. Keep corners/free kicks to a minimum.

Much maligned player including in his two spells here (especially the first one) but I always rated him

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Just watched the Blackpool v QPR highlights and feel a bit better. They didn't really have to work for any of their goals, the first 3 especially were absolute gifts.

I was thinking it was probably a bit like the game we beat Millwall 6-1

Yeah QPR are spiralling now

 

[blunted]

Think they will throw the kitchen sink at us in the opening 20 mins. Need to win the midfield, so would play Hamer, Sheaf and Eccles and quieten their crowd. Need to try and not give away too many corners or free kicks around our area. We never seem to do well up there but we are better than QPR

 

[Saddlebrains]

Yeah QPR are spiralling now

Wouldnt be surprise to see them go, awful side bereft of confidence at the mo

You seen this!?.... how to lose the dressing room in one fell swoop !!

 

[Bad Boy]

Are you serious?

 

[Sbarcher]

Gareth - Haka?, I asked them to sign Saka!

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

I reckon we'll beat these and then Stoke too, just so everyone starts to think "maybe....just maybe". This will be followed by the inevitable.

That's amazing.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Wilson
McNally
Fadz
Doyle
Bidwell
Dabo
Sheaf
Eccles
Hamer
Maguire
Gyokeres

Moore, Panzo, Burroughs, JWE, BNC, Godden, Walker

Gone for Maguire because I think he's the most likely to be able to either play next to Vic or drop a bit deeper. If it didn't work out I'd give Walker a chance ahead of Godden.

I think as long as we don't let them get a lead in the first 20mins we should hopefully win.

That really is like something out of The Office - looks almost staged tbh

We picked that side today at work. All of us agreed robins will go with a four man midfield with hamer and maguire behind gyokeres.

I personally think hamer would be fantastic playing slightly behind gyokeres. I think hamers a better forward style midfielder than a deep holding type although he does the role well.

 

[Seymour_East]

Hamer due a goal, big Vik to run them wild and McFadz to keep order at the back. We deserve a win after the attacking displays of the last two games. Blackpool back down to earth.

That's amazing. Even funnier if that was day before the 6-1 mauling at relegation threatened team. QPR fans must be going mental.

Wearing a 'kiss me quick' hat, chased by a donkey.

 

[napolimp]

Would be happy with another draw away from home, 1-1.
