Would love a win again today but would take a point a decent performance to keep the run going.

Must win today. With the fact that so few games are on it gives us a good chance to apply some pressure on those above us.

2-1 win, Hiwula and Shipley.

 

[Gibbo]

Started off thinking a draw, but now reconciled to a 2-1 defeat. They are better than their position. A lot will depend on Bayliss conjuring up something, as he has in the last three games. If Kelly plays will he last 90 minutes?
Same team as Wycombe I suspect, altho I would pair JCH and Hiwula up front

 

[Otis]

But Chaplin and Hiwula is working and they seem to have developed a good understanding.

Added to that of course is that JCH has been doing really well from the bench.

If everyone is fit you have to leave it the same I think.

 

[higgs]

They were in the playoff spots last season definitely better than their current position anything better than a draw would be an unreal result

Oops, hopefully win with 22 players!

Scunthorpe are a bit of a bogey team for us. We haven't beat them since 2013 and we haven't kept a clean sheet against them since 2010.

Would take a draw, something that hasn't happened since 2015.

 

[Nick]

Maybe Kelly didnt get fit in time

 

[fernandopartridge]

I see Kelly is out so a defeat is on its way, we can't play the pressing game we have been doing with the less mobile Doyle in the side.

2-0 Scunny

 

[Liquid Gold]

Going to be a struggle without Kelly. I'd take a draw now.

Yes i fear we will lose today based on Doyle playing instead of Kelly and no Agogogogogo on the bench again either

Looks like Ogogone

I think Agogogogogo is A gonegonegonegone

Looking thin on central midfielders, bring in Bigi...

 

[Liquid Gold]

Yes, I Otis joked before Otis. Do I get an award?

Boooooo!!!

Not having Kelly available really knocks us back. This was always going to be a tough one, but that makes it even tougher.

 

[vow]

Believe we'll win 1-0, however I'd take 0-0 and no more injuries.

 

[Gibbo]

You know what comes next, Ogogo will now sign for another League 1 team, and when we next meet them, play a blinder....

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Last time I went to an away game after winning 3 on the bounce was Bradford.... so I'm fairly confident of a 4-2 victory.

It’d be nice to see him have a good game.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Have they said why he’s out

 

[Esoterica]

It might not be as bad as we fear, we have a lot more positive intent as a team since Doyle last started. Just concerned over how much ball we will win in midfield away from home.

 

[shmmeee]

Good feelings gone. 1-1

 

[higgs]

How long is Kelly out for?

Im not as confident, will take a draw but delighted with a win.

Can see us playing a different game as we have been doing

 

[Johnnythespider]

Would have liked to see Westbrook in for Kelly myself. I'm sure Doyle will do a job I'm just not sure it's the job we need.

 

[higgs]

Bring him back all is forgiven

Westbrook and Bayliss would have been a worry. Very lightweight

 

[higgs]

Brown and ogogo must be on good wages and not even in the squad we could offload them

He looked a bit lightweight to me last week.

"Jory" Hiwula.
Are we dropping him one letter at a time?

Both marquee signings when they signed, now neither can make the matchday squad?

 

[skyblueinBaku]

With Kelly out, I think we will set up defensively and try to score on the break. This usually results in inviting pressure on us and often this leads to a loss.
