Correct. I went spur of the moment because it was a really nice morning! Hangover kicked in and then watched us comfortably beaten... wasn’t worth it!

 

[clint van damme]

They have been pretty good recently, have we won most of them though?

yeah, its been decent.

 

[Nick]

yeah, its been decent.

Might not be as good if its windy, cold, rainy and we get beaten

How can anyone concentrate on football when all this exciting stuff is going off around us?

 

[GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee]

Deciding whether to take the two match deal for this and Tuesday... Decisions decisions

Go for it! I'm not trying to be doom and gloom, but *IF* the worst was to happen, you could regret not making that decision in the future

Yes

 

[RoboCCFC90]

I'm looking forward to this match, putting all the issues in the background aside for 90 mins.

If we play with the same intensity and knock it about in the same manner than I can see us winning, 1-0 City, Hiwula to score.

Will be interesting to see what the pitch is like, at least it will be better than Accringtons!

Tuesday v Fleetwood please Rob? Im stealing my own car tomorrow!! Thanks mate (I take it you got my deliberate misspelling!)

 

[Johhny Blue]

At an x minute of the game etc

Agree, worst used to be if I’d been out on a Friday night and had about £20 in £ coins in my wallet end up going with the intention of putting £2 worth of bets end up doing a lot more and covering near enough every player on the pitch!

What odds were you getting on “anyone to score first”?

who's playing left back days before a game v a national article on our club. doesn't surprise me that its had more views

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

I think we'll thrash them 1-0

 

[chiefdave]

As I can't go thanks to it being moved to a Friday night it will no doubt be the performance of the season and we'll win 5-0.

It tells you people are bored with reading predictions from the same old farts.

2-0 Hiwula and Thomas

We can fuck it up for the egg chasers for a change!

 

[glasgowfan]

2-0 Hiwula and Thomas

Why Hiwula and Thomas? Why not Willis and Hyam? Or Bright and Baka? Or Burge and Sterling?

How would you fuck up a pitch for rugby, they don't really use it do they?

Quite easily when a win puts us 2 points off the play offs.

 

[no_loyalty]

An early goal for us please, can't remember the last time we scored in the first 10 minutes.

 

[capel & collindridge]

Should be a decent game both teams trying to play on the deck. The pitch should be as good as its been for a while with the wet weather nice and slick.

Saying all that will probably be a no score bore draw.

if we score early we could have a goal fest 2 nil win. Which is a goal fest for us.

A decent crowd and atmosphere 11000, 500 Burton.

I watched Barnsley play Burton at Oakwell last month and a no score bore draw was exactly what it was then. Barnsley were by far the better team but Nigel Clough had said before the game that he had a plan to stop Barnsley scoring. From where I sat (behind the goal) for almost all the game all the players (bar one goalie) were packed together into just one quarter of the pitch (imagine the pitch being divided into four using the half-way line one way and an imaginary line running the length of the pitch from the centre of one goal to the other). It was like watching six years old play, with everyone chasing after the ball and belting it anywhere! That seemed to be Clough's plan. I wondered why Barnsley didn't just move one of two men out wide on the other side, but it seemed to be that Burton had been drilled into playing a tightly mob-handed game, using a lot of spoiling, elbowing, shirt-tugging and diving that denied Barnsley the freedom to play with a well-distributed shape. They also seemed to have bribed the ref. After three or four dives or tackles that should have resulted in yellow cards for Burton players, but resulted instead in Burton free kicks, Barnsley were wrongly awarded a free kick themselves, just to event things up. The result was a dire, hard-contested game with little scope for playing football. Barnsley are far a tougher side than Coventry but still had difficulty in standing up to Burton's spoiling tactics. If we played the same game that Barnsley did, I think we shall lose 0-2. If we spread our players across the pitch and play good football we might win 2-1 or 3-2.

We'd better win! I slapped down £328 on a City win earlier this evening, in the SBT Bookies thing! :emoji_money_mouth:

Correct - Club confirmed we can't get Burton on iFollow UK, but Fleetwood next week should be alright.

Sorry if this is a thick question, but does that mean it IS on iFollow if you're overseas?

Think so. I’ve purchased it a couple hours ago. The Luton game a couple weeks ago didn’t give me the option to buy, so I’m assuming it’ll work today.

 

[Nick]

Yeah it will be if oversees
