Think we might get a point from this one. Would be happy with that, even accept a narrow loss if we beat Preston. Have a mate who is a Preston fan who has been claiming bragging rights for ages, would be good to give some of it back

1: 1 today

Even with the last couple of years which should really have changed my mindset.. it’s still a case of “high confidence, good form, big support”… oh shit it’s gonna go tits up isn’t it

Still- I’m going 2-0, an early goal, then a late breakaway to close the deal.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Well I'm confident. This game will start to define if we were right not to get dedicated cover for Maatsen, mind you.

Anyone heading for Fernhurst, forget it. It was one in one out at midday. Getting a beer today is a proper mission.

An away draw would be a good result here.

Pull off a win here and prepare to go ballistic.

Possible blood clot in leg scenario! Travelling in a pressurised cabin 12 hours and concerted pressure on the calf muscles. I hope they don’t take a silly decision?

Looks like they don't have too many other options so I'm expecting him to play. Its just a question of whether he starts, or whether they bring him on as sub if the game turns against them. It hardly looks like he was travelling cattle class so I doubt your concerns for his health have that much substance.

I'm going for a 2-2 in this one.

Thought you needed a first for accountancy?

LOL fortunately at my place its a 2-1 otherwise I'd be looking for other work haha

 

[Philosoraptor]

Got a feeling we might just win here.

[Greggs]

Hurry up @jordan210

 

[shmmeee]

Wonder what’s happened to JCS? ‘Rona?

 

[Greggs]

@shmmeee just made @jordan210 look a right c**t

 

[kg82]

Very surprised we’ve stuck with 2 up top.

 

[no_loyalty]

JCS obviously injured.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Tavares to make an appearance off the bench???

 

[Frostie]

Told ya Brereton Diaz would be on bench

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

O’hare’s 100th appearance… surely a goal, changing my guess to 4-0 Gyo hat trick and O’hare with one!!!!

 

[Frostie]

JCS obviously injured.

Or ill.
Surprised Dacosta or another defender isn't on the bench.

 

[stevefloyd]

Tavares to make an appearance off the bench???

Doubt it Waggys before him I would guess

 

[PVA]

Looking forward to seeing Rose and Walker get a game.

No defensive cover on the bench is a bit concerning!

 

[Bugsy]

O'Hare's 100th appearance for the sky blues, it's written in the stars.... PUSB

 

[Cov kid 55]

Blimey - O’Hare 100 appearances. Where did that come from? Shows his fitness/consistency.

 

[mmttww]

I didn't know the reason behind that . Really interesting stuff. Thanks for posting it

HITC Sevens (YouTube channel) did a mini-doc about it. All sorts of shit happened to that Team and led to that player lashing out. Horrible.

 

[shmmeee]

Tavares to come on and score the winner

Suppose you can put Sheaf back in the centre or have Hamer/Jones come on at WB if need be. Not ideal, but it is what it is.

 

[no_loyalty]

He certainly deserves his chance.

We'd probably go 4 at the back if one of the CBs got injured. Guess we could have covered the full backs with Dacosta but well, you know...

Sheaf would drop back I guess

Sheaf can drop in at CB, Jones can cover LWB, Dabo or Kane can switch flank. Not ideal but hopefully won't be needed!

 

[Frostie]

Says a lot about the respect we've earned that Blackburn have completely changed system to counter us.

 

[oscillatewildly]

I'm going for a 2-2 in this one.

I thought fancy dress was reserved for the last game of the season?
