I can't see six in a row but then again I couldn't see five. We need to make up for the shocking display last year in front of a near full house.

Best team i saw us play last season and it looks like they have improved since then. Think we will lose. Same team that started the doncaster game. 2-1 accrington

Who's the geezer they're missing and is he any good

 

[skybluesam66]

Who are they?

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Interestingly we are only likely to have 2 players (Willis and Bayliss) starting on Saturday that started the 2-0 defeat to them in Feb. I think it will be a very different game this time around, 2-1 win.

McConville, he's very good but he was also suspended last time we played them.

 

[Mr Panda]

I think the run might come to an end on Saturday but the team we have now is miles better than the team that started the 2-0 defeat. I've just looked at it now and you have Kelly-Evans at RB, Maguire-Drew at RM and no Doyle.

It should be more of a competition this time.

Doyle?

Edit- i see he was injured!

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

cant see us winning this i was wrong the last game so hoping im wrong again lol, either a 2-1 loss or 1-1 draw

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Really tough fixture, against a good side who are playing well. They're coming off the back of a hard run of fixtures, so they'll be on form, but potentially tiring.
I'd hope bringing someone like Jones off the bench against tired legs can make the difference.

 

[skybluegod]

2-1 loss...

Fancy us to do them this year.

We were unlucky at their place not to get a draw. Completely dominated the second half. And at home return fixture we were just not at the races players actually looked ill!

Expecting a hard fought tight 1 nil win.

11000, with 85 accrington fans.

I think if we put Davies on Kee we will do better.

The home game their tactic was just put it on his head and have runners, somehow he seemed to win most headers.

Yes wasn't it the home game where our squad was struck down with the dreaded Lurgi?!!

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

I was was right last week so going for same score 2-1

 

[Cranfield Sky Blue]

I’m going to continue my one man rampage to bankrupt Sky Bet. City to win and both teams to score!

 

[Gibbo]

Davies to get the better of Kee, even so 1-0 to Stanley. We have reached the point where the players will be starting to tense up about the winning run

 

[CovInEssex]

They're good but I think there's 6 other teams who are better than them, us included.

 

[Paxman II]

It should not be a problem if we are all fit and play with the same intensity as the first half last week. The problem we exposed was we turned off that intensity the second half and Donny came at us. We were lucky to get away with it. So others will try and emulate that against us. We must be on our game and remain in attacking mode. Do that and the chances will come and we will score.

2-0

 

[Mcbean]

We generally turn up now against the good clubs bar a refereeing error ( insert copious) , senior management in the dugout ( wild card pick of the day) or players having too much red bull the night before ( Bristol)

Nailed on win !

 

[SkyBlueCRJ]

Our attack and defence are near on identical in terms of goals scored/conceded. Uneventful 0-0 draw for me.

 

[larry_david]

The away game we dominated without creating chances. Kelly was injured and Stevenson started and did fuck all. We had a pen turned down and their keeper looked at us like 'how was that not given'

Home game everyone was ill. Bayliss was so fucked he passed it straight out of play about 4 times and went off soon after.

Let's do them

 

[Disgruntled Sky Blue]

Surely we can't be as bad as we were last season? My recollection was Stanley scoring two goals and keeping the ball for the other 88mins - a real men against boys encounter in front of a near full house. I'm expecting another close encounter similar to Donny and hopefully the same result!
2:1

 

[Liquid Gold]

We've got to lose one day, they bossed us last season, too 'streetwise' 1-0 smash and grab by them.

 

[Marty]

I think we'll lose this, they played us off the park twice last season. 3-0. Back to winning ways the following weekend.

 

[Johhny Blue]

There's no reason not to expect a win. Robin's has found a system that works.
1. Get a lead
2. Hold on to it until the last minute of extra time.
3. Gift the opposition a gilt edged chance to tie it.
4. Take the points

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Another easy win for the City.

 

[Magwitch]

Play like we did first half Saturday we’ll win, play like we did second half we won’t

 

[higgs]

Our games this season are all very close they could easily go either way. Let's enjoy the last few days of our winning streak expect the worst hope for the best

McNulty was sexually assaulted in the area just before they scored. Should have been a pen. We stood there complaining, they went down the other end, the cross went through Willis legs and bang 1 nil. They were the better side that day and got away with loads of cynical stuff on top of it. Need to match them physically, move the ball quicker and have a stronger ref. Otherwise I fear a repeat.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Play like we did first half Saturday we’ll win, play like we did second half we won’t

What about if we play exactly like the first half and exactly like the second half on Saturday?

 

[no_loyalty]

If we can avoid the sick bug that was floating around when we played them at home last season, I think we will smash them like Luton did.

Exactly the same result?
