Have we got some momentum now we've beaten a shit Barnsley team twice? Did have until the rancid, ugly, torturous, torment of a bitch of an international break (probably, but hopefully not) broke it ! 😬 |

March 2011 since we played them last so it’s been a wee bit...
We’ve been a lot higher than them since then - Premier League / Championship v League 2 / Vauxhall Conference...
Checked the Head to Head stats and was shocked - It’s bloody well 13 wins v 13 wins and 12 draws -
It would be mental if it went 13-13-13 so it would in all clashes since the first one in The Fifty’s...
Please don’t make that happen Town (We need the points in games like this)...
It would be nice to edge ahead by 14 wins v 12 wins...
Please DO make that happen Town ! 👍

Presume be very similar team if no injuries.
Think Brodie is suspended?if so might go back to lees central and Pearson right side,will lose a bit of something we saw against Barnsley but should be able to manage.
Think if Kane can play 60 minutes he should be the one to come in for hodge to keep a similar type balance.
Marshall and Bojan up top.

The spirit in the squad is the best it's been in ages. Let's hope it soon translates into performances

im intrigued to see his team, Spencer,helik,koroma,hodge,nicholls,baulker all out.
chapman
turton Pearson lonwijk
Sorenson kane kasumu wiles miller
here is the tricky conundrum...
Marshall - didnt get great reviews from his international match
Ward - is he fit ? does he want to be fit ?
Healey - wouldn't last 90..
bojan - mmmm slow...doesnt like running..
Draw 1-1

Their fans had been on something when they tried getting in to the Riverside lower Town end and were fighting in lumps on the steps and concourse. That must be the 2004/05 season when i saw their fans outside the Peacock and strangely i just thought to myself "that lot are out for trouble" and they found it. |

This is a game we really need to win to get back in the thick of it with a midweek game at Wrexham to follow, which I've no doubt we can win.

Couple of experienced heads in that Rovers team that have caused problems in the past Jack Hunt , Scott Sinclair and Chris Martin . Hopefully we set up similar to Barnsley knowing that a win here is key going into a 3 game week .
Chapman
Spencer Pearson Lonwijk
Sorenson Kasumu wiles Kane (if fit) Miller
Marshall Radulovic
My hesitancy is after international break we’ll rest Marshall and Spencer and bring in lees and Ladapo/Ward
3-1 town - Pearson Wiles and Radulovic

Would be a shame as even in the Birmingham he looked much better than he has and followed that up against Barnsley.That 3 that played that game looked much more assured and contributed on the ball also so I’d have like to have seen it continue. That said with the added midfield tweak and 2 players starting from deeper instead of one it’s meant anyone playing in that back 3 feeke more comfortable |

Yeh would have to be lees yes.I’m not sure what I’d do about keeping Pearson central.I think I probably would from the standpoint of continuity,Just because when Spencer is back I’d have him straight back in for lees. If lees and Pearson are both playing I do probably prefer Pearson as the wider one of the two simply because he’s played at full back a few times too but like I say with a view on keeping Pearson in the side longer term and him being central if Spencer and nige are available I’d stick with him there for this game. |

Just play Turton as the right of the 3, and leave Nigel and Pearson as they were. |

I wouldn’t be against it though. |

Not sure how I previously managed to reply to my own post but yeh he’s always been steady away and for a time better than that. Also in reply to the other post he is quicker than lees and I’d say better on the ball to be honest. |

PC @2pm with Duffman & Bojan. Unless he falls ill!.....Maybe a journo should ask if Phillips will be part of the squad after Sac Rep finish the season?

Thought I'd ask here as it pertains to our game on Saturday, sort of Is this the first time we have a home game on the same weekend as Leeds (and Bradford)? I know there's has been moved to tomorrow night for Sky but I was always under the impression that when us and Bradford were at home, Leeds were away etc |

There was always a request to the powers that be to have Huddersfield and Leeds on different days due to police manpower requirements. However, an educated guess, ....Bristol will be a Cat A with a minimal police presence, Sadford are usually Cat A, but it all depends on how severe they categorise the match, which will determine what manpower can be made available ...

Can't imagine there would be much trouble with a handful from Bristol....saying that, City had some tasty action outside the ground, not sure about Rovers? |

Very quiet on this thread …… Who plays upfront ? Bojan, Ward ? Sub Ladapo ? Not much to chose from there ….. Midfield ? Kasumu, wiles, Kane would be my pick. Turtle in for Spencer.  |

Very quiet on this thread …… Who plays upfront ? Bojan, Ward ? Sub Ladapo ? Not much to chose from there ….. Midfield ? Kasumu, wiles, Kane would be my pick. Turtle in for Spencer. It’ll be Bojan and Marshall up top barring any late injuries. Midfield I agree on although there is an arguement to play Hogg as they are a quick side on the counter,you would lose ball progression though with Hogg for Kane(or in theory you would) and I’d expect we have most of the ball.I’d go Kane,we should be focussing on what we can do with the ball at home not without.Wiles gets the nod over evans after a decent performance and a goal and duff has said if you play well you keep the shirt. Think the main conundrum is whether to bring lees in and play him centrally and move Pearson right or keep Pearson where he is likely to play when Spencer is back and the make a decision between lees and turton.I think duff will go with lees as he’s played keeping Pearson central but I’d be tempted to bring turton in,he’s slightly quicker,used to having more of the ball as a full back and he’s quicker on the turn. Look to win the game and bring players off rather than the other way around. |
