Dots slowly disappearing… going to be busy today so expect huge queues at every turnstile. Flat pre poured beer, Pies selling out and a need to factor in a 10 minute wait for us old bastards to be able to release the contents of our bladders.

And bowels. I’m shitting myself today already

Can Godden (obv) finally step up and make something of Vik taking 2 defenders out the game?
Just offer something, anything resembling a threat to make defenders think twice.
Did you not see his world class finish in the last home game? Do you remember? The one that got us back in the game against Watford???? Do you even go????

Please for the love of God, dont tell me Walker would of done better.

I wasn't playing a game. Just reminding that sickboy always points out others but never looks at himself. I try not to target anyplayer these days. Prefer to get behind them and that's why I'm standing up for them most of time in debates. You can like Allen and Palmer. You can like JWE and bidwell. It really isn't that hard guys.

As for the post you linked well Hilsner was more skillful than Shipley and the last line is clearly a joke to make fun of fact Shipley never closed down with any intensity.

This isn't the first time sarcastic post that's been used to try pretend I truly meant a football opinion. Think there was one where I said Presley is as good as pep guaridola or sum shit and your second poster account tried to use that one as a real prediction

It would be like saying hill83 champions legaue in 4 years was something to highlight and use against him one day 🤣

Also, read back all your posts on hilssner. It wasn’t sarcasm. You were as obsessed with him as @shmmeee was with DaCosta

Even if I was its irrelevant. I have no issue with people backing someone and getting it wrong. The issue is with slating players and getting it wrong. You can not rate someone without letting it cloud your judgement of every single game they play. It's obvious people are looking for bad touches and mistakes where they wouldn't be for another player.

If only Robins played exciting football like Thorn #covcity4lifeisalwaysright

Anyway… team selection will be interesting. Think it will be Kelly rather than Allen

I don’t slate anyone but I also actually attend games so
I never mentioned you did I? I mentioned sickboy.

I will be in block 25 today not that it matters. Can judge from sky sports or ifollow etc too. Different world now every game is accessible.

It is so obvious you are looking for a bite with every post you make.

If anything I bit to you so that makes no sense. You can’t judge properly from sky or ifollow at all.

Have to say that some posters on here are saying Godden runs about and chases on here yes he does but he looks like a poor mans Allen what we should do is drop Godden to the bench and put another midfielder on to overpower their midfield and leave Vik to do his stuff well if we decide to string a few passes together to our own players that is because on Wednesday our passing was disgraceful, we can then bring Godden on if and when we are a couple of goals up and they are trying to chase the game...
Also Kelly came on Wednesday night and put himself about looking like the real Kelly ...point to prove maybe?

Wish certain people on this forum fucked off for match days. Amount of shit and bickering I have to wade through to read interesting/articulate posts. Same suspects each week.

As big of a game as this is, I'm not as nervous as I was Wednesday. If the midfield holds out we should be fine, to be honest if we can't get motivated enough to win today we would never have got anywhere in the play offs. 3-1 City PUSB

Problem is we have too many injuries in midfield.

I do think Robins prefers the box formation but at the moment we don't have much choice other than playing two strikers (unless you want Howley or Maguire in midfield).

Godden pretty much is playing as a 10. Particularly out of possession. I assume that’s why he’s preferred to Walker. Although, last home game Godden almost single handedly salvaged us a point from 2 down. People have short memories

Just wondered as you want to drop Godden and play 4 midfielders. That would mean both Howley and Kelly playing?
I just don't think Godden is offering anywhere near enough considering we are pushing for a promotion place and Walker isn't one of Robins golden boys and I was assuming Allen would be fit enough to play but its a home game and golden Godden will no doubt be playing again

He was good enough in the last home game. What have Howley and Kelly done to suggest they would be better?

Exactly.
The clamour for Walker to start, just baffles belief, but apparently he does celebrate well!

Should we really drop a guy who scores 1 in every 2.5 games, and replace him with a guy who scores 1 in every 7 and got bombed out of league 1 Portsmouth ????
Where's the fucking logic???

When will people realise, if we play 2 up front Godden starts. If we play 1 upfront, then another midfielder starts.

Either way, Walker NEVER starts!!!!!!

Hope that helps.

Walker fair play to him is fighting for his future. And I've been impressed with that I've seen in his cameos.

Would you go for 2 strikers or 4 in midfield today.
