Match Thread Away v Stevenage Tues Feb 8th @7.45pm

I care, but agree, home win

 

I'd rather he didn't get them so he's closer to getting f*cked off. A sad state of affairs but he must go.

 

Stevenage beat Harrogate 3-0 at home recently.
2-0 win Stevenage

 

Nothing but a home win to Stevenage I’m afraid. The confidence of our players is absolutely shot.

 

Same squad as travelled to Harrogate, Adams has also said that Sutton will play tomorrow so at least 1 change to the starting 11. Most likely Cooke out for Sutton.

 

And yet Adams was talking about bringing Staunton through after having got rid of Canavan. He doesn’t even get into the 17!!

 

Adams lies like a cheap Japanese watch though!!

 

This will be the first away game I’ve missed since Covid, either in person or iFollow.
It’s not even worth a tenner!!

 

Tisdale has got them playing pretty well tbh.

About 6 or 7 matches ago he had a right paddy and threatened to drop them all. He then dropped a few and since then they've been on a decent run of form.

All in all, we know Fordy will say they're $hite whatever but it will be a hard game.

 

Both teams have a lot of draws, Stevenage have a pretty poor goal difference, wouldn't be surprised if we win, but I just don't have much faith or optimism going into the game after against Exeter, cannot see us winning that one. I would love to be wrong though.

I actually predicted 0-0 in the prediction thread before looking at Stevenage's poor goal difference, I wouldn't be surprised if we win this only to then lose or draw against Exeter.

Such is our run of form this season, total inconsistency.

 

Stevenage's last four home results:

W 3-1 Walsall
D 3-3 Sutton
W 2-1 Crawley
W 3-0 Harrogate

We lost to 2 of those teams recently, and drew with another.

Scoring 3 goals is a guaranteed win against us. Scoring 11 goals in 4 home games suggest we're in for a rough time against another side that have hit a patch of form just when we're playing them.

We've been having a tough enough time defending against teams that aren't scoring at all, let alone a side that is banging them in at home.

Stevenage 3-1 Bradford.

 

We played well to a point on Saturday and a similar performance over 90 minutes gives us a chance. Playing with 2 upfront and no balls sent in from out wide will limit our scoring opportunities. Could go either way but probably another draw.

 

Yes, as I posted, about 6 games or so ago Tisdale ripped into them and dropped a few. He's had a very positive reaction and they've been on a good run since.

As a stand alone match, a draw wouldn't be a bad result but given our hopeless recent form we need to win.

 

Jake Reeves will be missing this one, he broke his arm last week. Sounds like he's been having a really good season for them too. Probably their best player last time we played them, Elliott List may return from injury tonight. He did his hamstring on new years day, not played a minute since but returned to training 10 days ago.

Looking at the form table, it's only going one way tonight....... 1-0 poo house performance win for Adams!

 

We need a win from anywhere but I've a feeling of another defeat coming, iff this happens the knives will be well and truly out.

 

2-1 City because we’ll have a secret weapon in the stands, tonight.

 

I hope it’s a surface to air missile to bring the ball back down when it gets hoofed out of defence
