No they're not. Both U18 and U21 are 9th out of 11.

Fairs, assumed 21s were bottom as I can’t remember the last time they even got a point. Anyway, none of them are anywhere near ready to be playing championship football. Worth giving Andrew’s a go though as he’s had no football at all with constantly being in the 1st team squad

Leeds and Norwich living in hope. Funny, I couldn’t see us beating an egg at the moment.

It’s a bit worrying how far we are away from bringing new youngsters through

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I know its pinned in a thread above but sometimes gets lost, its the end of the month and if anyone has a spare £5 or more to donate then it would really help the season ticket fund, its just over £2k right now which is great but doesn't allow us to help a huge number of families.
ST prices will be out soon and want to help those nominated where we can and take advantage of any early pricing possible.

If you do, it would be great and thank you from all of those that we have helped and want to help next season.

Certain people waiting for prices to be announced
I’ll chase them when it is

Understandable the speed the club has risen
Won’t be from next year we need to have players making the step up and should have

 

[Blind-Faith]

Not hopeful tonight, they will be bang up for it and we’ve got injuries piling up, would take a score draw now

 

[ccfc1234]

Looking ahead to next season, I would like Ipswich in the Championship far more than Leeds so on that basis I hope we do the Yorkshire team a favour and win it!

 

[Otis]

Reckon we’ll win for some reason. 2-0

Yeah, probably the same reason I think I will be bagging the £140m Euro millions jackpot tonight.

 

[Evo1883]

26500 for tonight would be great considering it's a dead rubber

I hope we don’t

Imagine that's if all STs turn up. Can see the FZ being half empty again and a fair few others not bothering around the ground.

Apathy is well truly set in.

6500 of them are Leeds

 

[Saddlebrains]

We will get tonked tonight. Not just injuries but the fatigue in general in the squad is horrendous

The numbers being shown at both games and training from the player data is showing that and of the few who arent injured they could easily join that list

We could do with the season already being over tbh

Any early indication into team for tonight. Think we will lose but looking forward to Saturday as at least its a Saturday home game.

Yeah, f'm feeling a bit cba with going up tonight, but this week will be the last time we get to see some of these players and the team as a whole deserve a good backing in these last two games after the season we've had

Just play kids and those who aren’t here next year TBH. No one gives a fuck at this point.

 

[edgy]

It's a shame this game exists.

QPR would probably have sold out and been a good send off for the squad. Likely now to be half arsed now.

 

[Evo1883]

I'm arsed , we should play our strongest team

 

[Evo1883]

Really don't think Pete understands how to use the laughing emoji

When anything makes me smile I used a laughing emoji
It’s not a sarcastic laugh it’s when I’m happy or smiley

 

[shmmeee]

I'm arsed , we should play our strongest team

Why?

If we get Simms or Wright injured in these two games what have we gained?

We will play our strongest fit team obviously. The question is whether we should push players past medical advice for these games.

 

[Offhegoes]

Sneaky feeling we might win this tonight. Pressure on Ipswich, and we'll always carry a threat with Wright, Simms, Palmer & O'Hare. Won't be pretty but I'll go for a 1-0. We'll then lose to QPR by a couple of goals at the weekend in true Cov fashion.

 

[Evo1883]

Because I want our team to win , because it protects the integrity of the game , because people are paying their money to watch ?

Strongest available team

Makeshift defence, makeshift midfield. Can’t see past a thrashing to be honest, we should have lost handsomely on Saturday.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

How many people who are actually going to the game tonight want us to play a shit team and not try?

I’m certainly not heading up there hoping to watch us surrender before a ball is kicked.

We should never play players against medical advice. Totally counter productive.

We should play as strong team as we can subject to fitness and having an eye to next season. This is why I would like to see some minutes for Andrews (not necessarily a start) and potentially other young players we think might make it.

Of course I want us to win and I would be annoyed if we don't try. But that doesn't mean we should be risking injuring more players by requiring them to play when not fit in a match which has no importance for us in the big picture.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

This has got defeat written all over it. Poor form, injuries, suspensions, fatigue, opposition chasing auto promotion etc etc.

2-1 City.

 

[Cranfield Sky Blue]

Just realised it’s 8.00 kick off! Another beer break!

Why is everybody on here suddenly a sports scientist ? Come on now these guys have 2 games left and they are then off for over a month

 

[Deleted member 9744]

I am literally saying we should leave it to them. I haven’t a clue who is fit or not.

Fuck that, there's beer to be drank, shots to necked, chisel to be sniffed and shite to be spouted!

 

[Saddlebrains]

Very surprised at the 26500 predicted from the club

I know a lot of ST holders and a good 3/4 of them arent going

They still count in the attendance though.

To counter that I don't know Any that aren't going
