[David O'Day]

If Lampard is in charge you are looking at 4-3-3 and not 4-2-3-1. He likes 1 6 an 2 8's not the two 6's and a 10 you get in a 4-2-3-1

2-0 loss - Lampard out chants in full swing

On a serious prediction 1-1 - Sakamoto

Back atcha.

On a serious prediction 1-1 - Sakamoto

TBH, I thought November would be the month of doom - aside from sacking one of our best ever managers - bought apart from the Derby blip we've held Sunderland and beat Middlesborough away. I've no doubt we can do Sheff United on Saturday and makes my lad's first trip to Burnley next week worth the journey.

 

[itsabuzzard]

It's all about the mood of the camp and the prospect of a new 'coach' coming in and players looking to show what they are about. No one hides in this game. So a good performance is what matters most but I think if we do perform well we beat them. We know Gus and Callum's game intimately so curb them and attack with pace. Pity Wrights out but we have more than enough.

Optimistic, but I hope you're right!

If O’Hare or Gus score and celebrate in front of our fans, I think I may need therapy.

Personally, if either of them score I think they will show respect.

Forget Robins, get behind the new player managers ffs. PUSB.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Not sure, I should. Might upset feverish King loyalists like yourself. There were a few naughty words in there.

King Loyalists versus the Robin Rebels. Third English Civil War

 

[Potbellypig]

On paper and on form we lose, but these are generally the games we seem to thrive in. I'm getting Fulham 4-1 at home vibes running through my body.

They won't.

 

[ccfc1234]

I don't want hear one rendition of any song relating the Hamer, O'Hare or Mark Robins during the 90 minutes.

I totally agree regarding COH and Gus but if MR has his name sung out of respect at the first home game since he left that would be more understandable. I was away at Sunderland and some of the King chants got out of hand and whatever happens I hope it stays respectful on all sides.

Stick to 3-5-2. We are creating loads of chances with it.

Tim Flowers in goal surely

Cannot see past an absolute hiding here.

Everyone said that about the Sunderland game, including me

Tbf I actually think that suits our current midfield options better anyway.

True, but one ex player curse would be bad enough, never mind two!

Tim Flowers in goal surely

Was in contention but dropped out as he has just taken the job at Alvechurch FC.


Twat.

 

[Oggysstarjumps]

Ignore ex-players on the opposition team. Don't sing "There's only one Mark Robins". Back Carr or the new manager whoever it is. And don't sing King's cringy song either.

Sit down. Chant and clap in time for anything in blue. Sit in silence for anything associated with red. Pretend you don’t recognise anyone. Take the medicine you should have been taking for the last seven years. 1-0 Blades. Go home. Eat boiled cabbage. Drink vodka.

 

[alexccfc99]

Ollie Arblaster (One of their young prospects) took a whack in the Derby just before the break and had to pull out of England U21 duty so looks unlikely he will be playing Saturday

 

[San Francisco]

7-0 city, Simms hattrick, queuing up to score, Hamer and CoH both tear their ACLs, Van Nistrelrooy gets a knighthood.

In all seriousness though, a 1-1 bore draw.

We broke the curse in the last game

Most players pulled out of international duty and i bet they all reappear this weekend

 

[blunted]

I worry where the goals will come from without Haji.

He’s a very good player

That could be cystitis

Sicknote Ben may not be appearing for this one again.....


Missed a trick not selling him in the summer tbh. And I'm a huge fan of his

Ffs, can you give us some good news

Depends on your perspective. If you’re our friend from Earlsdon…

Should have forced him to go, not like he's contributed much anyway. We'll never get anywhere near an offer like that for him again.

He hasn’t exactly looked like captain material either. Though only Lati and Eccles look close to that in this group.

Really starting to look like a missed opportunity. Whatever you think of Robins going at this point, I don't think his decision to convince Sheaf to hang around another year helped him one bit. Would have been better with the cash with all use he's been this season.
