Match Thread Away V Walsall Saturday 27th Feb @ 3.00pm.

Think you have answered your own question.

We need to change our mindset into believers.

W5-D5-L5 is there form at home you say then why wouldn't be we have enough to WIN down there?

 

Definite win for City, onwards and upwards for us. It’s all open above us this year. 1-3 that is if they can unlock our defence?

 

It’s to our advantage that we get an extra 24 hours, I wouldn’t be happy if it were the other way round. Is there a reason for them playing tonight?

Hopefully a win 2-0

 

Well 22.5 hours . Walsall play Newport, whom in turn played FGR on Sunday.

 

I think Cookie Monster will get a few nibbles against his former club and be bang up for it.
2-0 to us.

 

Think we'll see Crankshaw and Cook start this one (particularly Cook if he is unavailable to play against Mansfield next Tues).
I wouldn't change anything else, however we will probably need to rotate Sutton / Watt at some point although not sure who for.

Anyone know latest on when Clarke / Novak / Staunton / Hossannah are back? is Pritchard injured again?

 

They will hate our pace, it's a typically statuesque Lg 2 defence. My God, I don't believe I'm now writing this. Our pace! What a January window that was and how well T and S have transformed Cooke by playing him so much further up.

 

We shouldn't underestimate the opposition. We were once a team that opposition fans thought were an easy 3 points.

One game at a time eh? Slowly slowly catchy monkey




4-0 City

 

Clarke and Staunton are both fit I think and I don’t think Hosannah is far away either I don’t think Novak will be back for a bit

 

On the latter two.

Wasn't sure about your post...until I got to 4-0 City!

 

The less talk of play offs the better once we are in proper reach the pressure will be on. Keep it as low key as possible will give us a better chance of making up the ground

 

Absolutely. One game at a time, that's all we should be focusing on.

 

I think we are in proper reach now, so I hope that doesn't see a nerviness to our performance.

 

Remember this

didn’t realise it was Cook sent off for elbowing NKP. Didn’t he bully him against Morecambe the other night too.
Looking at that team, we should never have gone down

 

That's just bringing back nightmares, a poignant and grim reminder of who we were, I was feeling happy until seeing that, please do not do it again.

 

Walsall lose 1-0 to Newport. Rigid 4-3-3. Zonal marking from set pieces. Done down the left from a corner, where no Walsall player came out, to defend the ball. Newport mixed the corners up with little reaction from 'static' Wall defenders.
Absolutely nothing in the last third with Lavery constantly isolated.

Listening to the local commentators and not impressed with formation, set up under Dutton and were questioning more than praising.

Forest Green losing 3-0 to Southend at home as I type.

 

Thought I'd check to see how Walsall are getting on against Newport and the game's already finished!
They lost by the way.
