Irresistable 4-0 win.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Anyone know how many they're likely to bring?

A few, but none with more than half of their teeth

 

[Otis]

Nailed on win and we'll all be wondering what the fuss was about and be reflecting on the presumptive worst team in the history of the club previous comments.

 

[Tommo72]

Anyone know how many they're likely to bring?

I'd hazard a guess at 7/800?

12-0 win

12-0 win

...for Port Vale.

 

[Sbarcher]

Need a win to get back on track. It's ok for those to say it's a new team and it needs time, but they are professional footballers who I am sure know how to play the game.

 

[vow]

Another clean-sheet, 0-0 I reckon...........unless MR tweaks his tactics/formation to allow Andreu to play CM and drop either Kelly or Doyle (probably won't drop Doyle!) If this happens I'm going 2-1 city.

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

2-1 win we really need get our shit together get back on track winning and not lose distance with top 2

 

[steve82]

Another frustrating day I feel, Port Vale also have not scored in there last 3 league games.

Given it's league two will most likely be a goal fest with stats like that

 

[ccfcway]

Vale haven't scored in 3 games, Cov haven't scored in over 5 hours.

Don't think Match of the Day has earmarked this one for their main game

I'm hoping for a decent game and a couple of goals, put the last few behind us and also my last game until 30th so I want to be entertained.

Andreu Nazon and Stevenson in. 2-1 city

I'm confident in that team and the shape but not that Robins will pick it.

[stevefloyd]

12-0 win

you do remember its Burge in goal...or is that to them?

 

[stevefloyd]

would like to see the Duck played thro' the middle with McNulty

 

[no_loyalty]

3-1 win, McNulty to score all three with 2 of them pens

 

[skybluetony176]

Feel another 0-0 coming on

I've been out of the country for the last month and it appears everyone has lost the plot; SBT's top discussion topics are Nazi's and violence against Tim Fisher at a train station, and the team seem to have forgotten how to win a game.

I'm hopeful that Saturday marks a return to winning ways with a 2-0 win. I'm also looking forward to seeing Andreu, as he looks a great singing on paper.

 

[Gazolba]

Our all time record vs Port Vale:
Played 33, won 11, lost 12, drew 10.

 

[Johnnythespider]

I think we'll make a bright start, but the crowd will turn after we don't score in the first 5 minutes. McNulty will get frustrated with the lack of service and give Doyle the finger but the ref will think it's aimed at him and send him off, out of necessity Robins will change the formation to an even more defensive line up, dropping Vincenti into the centre of defence so we are 5 across the back and we will scrape a 0-0 draw.

You'll take 3 points from this match guaranteed, the last few games I have been to this season have been nothing short of terrible, though we appear to do better in the second half. Please take Norman Smurftosser (and Michael Brown) with you as well, if we can come up with some sort of swap, we'd rather have SISU as it stands! Can anyone recommend anywhere to park close to the ground? Cheers.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Once again expectations are that City should win it! But this CCFC the kick in the bollox club I shall not be holding my breath for a win

Christ the king car park. You can book and pay online for 4 quid. It's a ten minute walk. Is the smurf still working the bars to save a few quid? This may not have happened, it sounds like something I could have dreamt.

Thanks for posting. Genuine question and forgive my ignorance, but what is it that Smurthwaite is doing so badly?
