If JDS is playing who have Stoke got right wing? A paraplegic I hope?

Manhoef who is their best player imo. Probably their best bet to get at us.

Il post exactly what in a a bit so I dont get the 'Stoke read this forum and it's my fault if we lose' brigade on my case

I’m thinking the one that doesn’t make sense is something like BTA starting

Haji in for someone Emc or Sakamoto?

 

[TomRad85]

If we're being honest, Bidwell was not good against Oxford.
Nice ball for the winner but overall it was a poor game from him.

Just DM us you tease

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

So JDS for Bidwell. Only really makes sense depending imo if they have pace down that side of the field as Bidwell got caught out alot against this at Oxford.

Could also be one of the CBs changing or maybe Paterson starting in place of EMC or Tats.

But those last ones are just weird imo.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Torp and Dasilva in

 

[Hobo]

Wilson playing as a false 9

 

[fatso]

Torp and Dasilva in

Dasilva????? Really????
Why ffs ???

 

[coop]

So the weakness Robins mentions in his interview is playing Da Silva we are fucked if he's playing weak link.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Sheaf isn't starting

 

[Saddlebrains]

Torp and Dasilva in

Yep

DaSilva mainly for pace against Manhoef and Tchamadeu

Sheaf not ready for 90 yet, Torp has 60 in him

Dasilva in for bidders or
Lati in for Thomas
Enforced Allen for Rudoni

 

[fernandopartridge]

I'm not a huge fan of JDS but do we need the extreme histrionics every time he starts. He's a decent footballer, probably not as bad a defender as it might appear given that many of the issues down his side were as much down to Binks and his poor positioning.

 

[Gint11]

Yep

Can see why he’s going this way. And stoke are utter shite.

 

[TomRad85]

Yep

Manhoef will not trouble Dasilva for height at least. I don't rate Dasilva particularly but I kind of get it, Bidwell far from updroppable after last week and will probably come back in for Derby.

 

[mmttww]

Grimey finding out his Swansea friend got dropped.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Yep

Im glad it’s Torp in for his creativity.

Bidwell is in his 30s and we have another game in the next few days, makes sense to rotate. We’d rotate MVE more if we had another right back that was championship standard

 

[Sick Boy]

I'd be relatively happy with 4 points from the next two.

Makes sense to me. Especially if Stoke defenders likely to be rattled by his running.

If MVE gets through the season unscathed, we will have been very, very lucky... but we're almost there!

A poor Bidwell is 100% better that JDS all day everyday and twice on Sunday!

Of course fans can feel that way.
If Collins starts each game when we know we have Wilson & Dovin I’m sure you’d throw a fit

Every game he is targeted for a reason he won't get any help from EMC, so I'm not as confident of a comfortable win now but very happy to apologise if he has a good game.

No tickets available after 10am

Yep me too. Relatively with 4, delighted with 6.

I've never been bothered about Collins

Our left is always targeted but it hasn't stopped us winning 8 out of 9.

Don’t back down, let’s get 6

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Thinking on it, doesn’t grimes slot into a back three when in possession. If so might mean Kitching can protect JDS in the same way he did in a back three?

 

[Sick Boy]

Don’t back down, let’s get 6

Today really is....MUST WIN!!

 

[Tommo1993]

Today really is....MUST WIN!!

We’ll have none of that anymore. Whether I believe it or not, I keep getting told off.

Absolutely must win

What if we lose and so do the teams chasing .. is it then
