Lees is out for the rest of the season it sounds like. So is Nakayama and presumably Balker. Our only option for the last 7 games is a back 2 of Pearson and Helik unless he puts Spencer in as part of a back 3 and uses Kasumu at wing back Why balker?I know he went off “injured” Friday but unless it’s been said otherwise I’d hazard a guess that he just didn’t fancy it. He knew straight away that he had done something bad and as I posted in the other thread can only assume it was the same feeling as when he did his ACL the first time. He didn't move for ages and just laid with his hands over his face, that isn't the actions of someone who will be available again anytime soon. The way the physio was testing his leg was all the usual tests they do for an ACL type injury |

The club have floated around the championship relegation zone more often than not,eventually time runs out and there are no more get outs. The whole club is on a downer and maybe a complete re-boot is what's needed,it's not what we want as fans but it's a reality that we just can't go forward like this for much longer. It doesn't matter wether the chairman has 10 quid or 20 billion quid if its wrong on the training ground and the field on match day no amount of money will fix it,there has been so many fuck ups and mis-management not just financially but on the playing side that it's just not realistic to carry on hoping we can stay in the Division for much longer. Shame on the money men for making some shocking decisions over the last few years that has landed the club in this position,hang your fucking heads in shame. Unfortunately money men don’t and will never hang their heads in Shame as money is their only concern. Since promotion in 2017 we’ve had a pandemic of parasites bleeding the club dry. That’s players as well as board employees. However, that’s not to say some people have had the clubs best interests at heart. But ultimately it’s about money. |

The match changed in towns favour when the three subs came on v Coventry and so nearly salvaged a point .
Our manager said he was optomistic with there performances so give all three subs a start v Stoke
Problem with this present town squad is we have to many players who are not as good as they or many think they are
Loose this Stoke game and then think we will be playing catch up to the final match under far more pressure

It’s a proper season definer isn’t it, like properly this time, if we lose this I don’t think there’s any coming back psychologically.
My line up (4-2-3-1):
………………..Nicholls
Spencer Pearson Helik Headley
……………Matos Kasumu
…….Thomas Rudoni Jones
………………….Healey
Predicted line up (3-4-1-2):
………………Nicholls
…..Spencer Pearson Helik
Kasumu Hogg Matos Headley
………………Rudoni
………..Healey Thomas

If he goes with a back 3 when we only have 2 fit CBs available then I give up.
Nicholls
Headley
Helik
Pearson
Spencer
Matos
Kasumu
Burgzorg
Rudoni
Thomas
Healey

Think Healey was only considered fit enough for 30/20 mins on Fri so surely no way he will start only 3 days later having completed those 30 mins?
That said I give up if he starts Burgzorg up top again.

Yes, I can see a win.
I think a loss is more likely though.

Pat Jones: the brightest young attacking prospect we have had for quite a while and I can't see how we can get him in the starting eleven. Sorba back for Koroma and Healey to start. I wouldn't start Pat Jones. Absolutely not. The kid is brilliant, briefly. We could stick him on for the last 20 minutes if the result is in question but if you try getting more than that the likelihood is he snaps his hamstrings & is out for 6 months. |

Perhaps for the full second half. He's best against tired legs but he can do much more than 20 minutrs |

Probably agree but maybe say 30 minutes. Whatever we need to get the ball to him. He easily had his defender and beat him but we decided to go down the opposite side and ignore him🤷🏻♂️. Decision making is poor. |

I’d start him and tell him not to bother with tracking back or defending. Leave him up as high as possible and use his pace on the counter. Run the defenders ragged for the first half, then see how he is at half time. If his hamstrings don’t feel tight, leave him on. If they do, take him off and put Del on |

0-1 town, Rudoni to score from a penalty
the most unlikely eventuality in the history of the modern game.

Who's been arsey? shots that hit the bar are off target,we only looked like getting back in to it because they took the foot off the gas,they stepped up for a minute and killed the game making it 1-3,,they were Miles better than us overall. |

I am away on holiday and in two minds whether to persuade the local boozer to put it on for me.
The effort to get it sorted just doesn’t seem worth it and the other poor buggers in the pub don’t need to watch the crap we put up with.

Another game with Pearson playing ffs He's a good defender and the alternative is someone from the B team. Also his shite passing is less used when he's in a back 4 because he isn't out wide and will have easy passes to the full backs on and we'll have to play a back 4 |

I think most fans could pick a very similar team from the players available.
They would disagree who the 2 deeper midfielders would be or who should play left wing but the rest seems obvious.
Back 4 of Spencer, Helik, Pearson, Headley. Rudoni the most attacking of 3 midfielders. Thomas right wing. Healey up front.
Injuries to centre halves could actually turn out to be a good thing, forcing the 433 is suspect most of us have been hoping to see.

One thing Town always have is fight, even when we’re in bad form or have poor management, we always have some fight and a chance of pulling off a surprise result.
The thing that concerns me is we’ve barely had any for the last few games, especially the cov game where there seemed to be quite a few players that couldn’t care less.
I’m not blaming AB, but something has definitely changed for the worse over the last few weeks and I don’t think it’s a confidence issue.
We HAVE to get a result tomorrow, no ifs or buts. Fail to get anything and that’s us down in my book.
This is probably our biggest game since the playoff final.

Reckon we’ll lose tomorrow and then it’s all on the Millwall game which will be “must win”. A defeat tomorrow followed by a win next Saturday and we’re still very much in the mix. I really am not expecting much tomorrow though. |
