2-1 Blackpool to top off a disappointing week.

Raining all night and throughout the morning -> wet surface = increased possibility of goalkeeper errors.

Not ideal with our current keeper situation.

Or........ better for Hamer's zingers. our rampaging midfielders and Gyok's mud wrestling.

Left me work boots outside!

Yea, I initially started a paragraph with ‘Conversely’ and was about to mention our shooting, but Hamers long range shots are rarely across the ground and our other midfielders don’t often shoot!

Gyokeres is Gyokeres, whatever the weather he’ll be a beast. But you’re right, his movement and twisting, turning away from defenders on a wet surface could leave a few on their arses!

Fingers crossed. Hoping a slightly soggier pitch might impede Mr Patino's silky skills too (get a few sliding tackles in on him and hope he doesn't fancy it as much!) I always find myself worrying about the opposition's better players and ironically, I'd completely ignored Barlaser from Rotherham (who I'd not taken any notice of this season, or how they'd accrued so many points)

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Considering how free scoring this opposition is, need to make sure we don’t spurn chances at the other end.

SHOOOOOOOOOT

 

[GIMOC]

Ohare & Kane both starting today

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

3-2 City, Gyo hat trick

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Ohare & Kane both starting today

Could it be Eccles replacing Dabo and Kane in for Bidwell (if he's had a knock)?
or
Eccles rested (may have a knock) ?

Is Palmer being rested for O'Hare? Or even Allen ?

Lots of games, so need to utilise squad.

Called it

 

[lordy_87]

2-1 cov. PUSB

Are you skybluebeliever’s new account or something?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Think it’s too soon to be starting O’Hare personally. Hope this isn’t yet another case of MR rushing an injured player back too soon only for them to break down again and go missing for months (see Rose, Dabo, Godden, Kelly etc. etc.)

 

[theferret]

Surprised Blackpool have only sold 700.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Surprised Blackpool have only sold 700.

Same - although think they can pay on the gate?
Be surprised/disappointed if they couldn't better Rotherham's midweek following of just over1,000.

 

[Evo1883]

Bad feeling about today , can't shake it .

4-0 coventry

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Bad feeling today but that's just the hangover. I predict goals, same score line as Rotherham or 3-2 either way. Gonna be positive and say to us based on nothing but blind optimism.

Hamer, Vik, late one from Palmer to finally get off the mark

 

[wingy]

They definitely know how to string a few together but capable of similar at the back.

Interesting if Robins contradicts what he said on Tuesday in that case

 

[covhead1]

3-1 cov

Yeah, I can't see him dropping Allen though so I am assuming Palmer will be out.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If O'Hare breaks down in the first half it's going to look a little unfortunate.

 

[jordan210]

Looks like Wilson will be starting.

2-1 city last minute goal Panzo screamer

 

[Balli001]

You mean,waghorn out. palmer didn't start last game

 

[procdoc]

I think if O’Hare starts it’ll be in place of Sheaf with Allen dropping deep. Palmer will then come in for Waghorn

 

[Calista]

I see GIMOC and think ‘Get In Me Old Cocker’

 

[PVA]

Really didn't think O'Hare would be ready yet.

Hope it doesn't backfire

 

[You'll Never Beat McPake]

Just arrived at CBS to be told by steward I was at wrong tunstile for my season ticket I've held since 2005!!. Looks like we have a bunch of newbies!!! Be patient.

2 foot them.

Definitely due a Panzo headed goal from a corner.

 

[shmmeee]

Hoping there’s been a day of absolutely blistering training with Hamer, O’Hare, Palmer and Vik and Robins just had to pick them. Can see when they click it’ll be something special.

 

[Great_Expectations]

On paper COH starting is great news. In reality I’m not so sure - him getting injured would be terrible.

Would prefer him coming in at HT against a not so fresh defence and less time so he knows he hadn’t got to reserve energy.

It also isn’t a position we need to risk - we have two fit AM’s!

Happy path we finally see the front 5 we’ve all wanted and it’s a footballing masterclass.

Hopefully not Palmer cant do with him skipping another game due to blisters
