The idea of Tavares starting when I’m not convinced he’d get a game at Port Vale.

 

[LastGarrison]

Anyone running a book on the biggest meltdown at 2pm?

I’ll have a score on Matt smith

FFS, forgot the team selection drama.

We had a rare child free afternoon (and evening!) and I was heading to - and had agreement (!) - the local micropub with an iPad to watch the game. Even more of a treat as I’m on a health kick so not drinking much at the minute.

However, babysitters dropped out just as we were leaving to drop the kids off. So instead we’re heading to the cinema to watch Migration and pay about £50 for fruits shoots and popcorn they won’t eat, with zero chance of me watching the game.

I thought that before I said it but he's right footed though! However it will be more like Eccles holding the right side with Lati methinks

MR well within his rights to be complaining tbh. Can’t be leaned on from above to have a cup run when the squad is already suffering.

It’s an opportunity to further raise club’s profile…. Madness not to take advantage.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

I agree.


We aimed high. We brought in quality players. Could have done with a few more but its more difficult to bring in quality players than space fillers.

Loans? I remember Robins saying how much better it is having our own players over loans that leave at the end of each season.

I think having loans makes sense to add squad depth to cover for injuries, suspensions etc. Wish we’d used it more this season like in prior seasons. If we managed to get promoted we can hopefully convert those loans to perms.

 

[fatso]

If Kelly and Godden are starting I might not bother watching.

Why, we'd still have more than enough to beat Stoke, and giving them 45 mins will save others for the tougher games like WBA away.
That's what squads are for isn't it?

tbf I'm quite enjoying the slowpoke v saddlebrains warmup event

 

[wingy]

Nearly time to cut the grass. Not allowed to use machinery between 12 and 2 so people can have dinner in peace. Hopefully get it done within a couple of hours so I can have a laugh at the meltdowns when the team is announced before I settle down for the game.

Of course 1hr up on us!

Only one winner there pal.

In practice it’s a couple of extra games for a not small amount of cash.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Just heard the team and it is crazy.

Saddlebrains used ITK FLEX!
It had no effect!
slowpoke used SHADE!
Critical hit!

 

[skybluecam]

Go on then

 

[dadgad]

And?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Tell us the team now then, I doubt Steven Schmacher, I assume you know who he is, reads this little website.

Can you read?

I've stated quite clearly he wont tell me this week, other than it will be a meltdown at 2pm

Shall we run through your past history Mr 'Vik is going nowhere'?

And Steven Schumacher is the Stoke boss obviously Victor Meldrew

Well known brother of racers Michael and Ralf

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Apparently Sakamoto isn’t in the squad

 

[Saddlebrains]

Only one winner there pal.

Yea. Me. Cant wait for 2pm. Want your humble pie with custard or cream Cleggy?

 

[mark82]

Apparently Sakamoto isn’t in the squad

This wouldn't surprise me to be fair. He's looked jaded recently.

Yes and yes. But simultaneously I’m sure there’s at least a little pressure for a top 6 finish too. However,

Struggling squad + cup + league congestion - necessary additions = breakdown.

He hasn't decided yet why he thinks binks is better than kitching. Give him chance to catch up

 

[SkyblueDad]

Educate me what is SHADE in computer talk ?

Who has said that pillock

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Educate me what is SHADE

It’s what is cast on a sunny day

 

[Tommo1993]

Educate me what is SHADE

It’s when an object is blocking light reaching a surface.

Like mega crazy

Our playoff challenge will not rest or fall based on some extra FA Cup ties. The problem really is that we recruited for 5-3-2 and then had to tear that up once it was clearly not going to work for the players we signed.

 

[Tommo1993]

Would welcome a break for Sakamoto - there’s a boring joke to be made there.

We don’t want another burnt out player.

 

[GIMOC]

team havent been told the team. Ohare last night didn’t know if he was playing or not. robins fed up with rumours and leaks to the extent he has set up a Twitter account to monitor rumours. players now keeping low on social media

Is that why you stopped posting then? Not because all of your bullshit got caught out in the end?

tbf you've built it up so much I'm putting off going out until I know and see! I'm going to be very let down if everybody just goes meh

Are you talking to yourself now?

 

[ptr]

Godden Tavares and Marvellous Onabirekhanlen front 3.

In Robbings we trust.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Nah not really crazy. Just not what most would line up with.
