Away vs Plymouth Nov 23rd

Really tough game this. Plymouth are another side who are good on the ball and have lots of possession so I hope we dont play into their hands and sit off them.

Their defence is there to be got at though so it would be nice to see us go there and try to win the game.

I'd stick with 433 otherwise we've no chance of seeing the ball against their 352. Ismail for Oteh and Reeves (hopefully) for akpan would be the only changes. Think McCartan and Palmer were supposed to be back in full training today so hopefully one or both are on the bench.

 

Hoping to see a change in our fortunes, and the boys will want to put Tuesday well behind them. I'm expecting to see a more purposeful midfield, and for Bowyer to get it right, and keep Vaughan where he belongs, UP FRONT ! Not as a number 10 with no one ahead of him
I'm going for a Brave City 1 - 2 Win.
This is the type of match and venue where City need to show their Supporters and the rest of the League that promotion is our main objective. Let's build some head, as we will soon be entering a full festive program.

 

Bowyer needs to find some balls and go for it, no long high punts up to the lone Vaughan.
For me there are no more excuses for this season. It's promotion or Bowyer has failed.

 

Spot on B I G.

Nice as it would have been to have an F A Cup run, it wasn't to be. NO more Cups to worry about, thus reducing the chances of a fixture pileup ....... JUST the League, now ............ NO excuses, for not achieving promotion !

 

It "wasn't to be" because Bowyer didn't select any strikers for the bench. He took off attacking players (one allegedly injured) and replaced them with Mellor and Devine when one goal down - what the hells he doing, defending a one goal deficit???
Why not put Paudie up front at least, plus where was Reeves who he'd said great things about??
No, the man was scared of us equalising, he should be up in front of the FA for throwing a game.

Yes Ronnie, I'm still fuming!!

 

I pretty much managed to keep quiet in the aftermath of Tuesday (God only knows how ? I think total confusion had truly consumed me). Yet 'we go again' as they say - And I'm now relaxed just enough to look forward to a cracking game, on Saturday

 

Water polo it is then.

 

Will it be playable after 3 days of heavy rain? God I hope for those travellers. Come on City!

 

We have no say, it will be a local referee who makes the decision, and with us being 6 hours away (329.0 mi) it needs to be done on Friday before fans travel.

 

good luck with that one...their game with Grimsby the other week was called off at 12:30 the day of the match!

 

We are near Plymouth at the moment SB, and as you say, it's very heavy rain at times, the forecast is the same up to and including the weekend. Not looking good.

 

I'm not going mate but that is so inconsiderate, having said that the Macclesfield game has added extra expense to fans who've booked the train etc,I took our tickets back on Monday for a refund I can't be arsed either going down to the ticket office or booking online, I'll sit this one out in front of the fire and watch it on Ifollow.

 

Agreed, heavy rain until Sunday then the rest of next week in degrees. Bouncing all day here in Spain and heading for the South West. Back home tomorrow but plans for the 07.23 from Wakefield Saurday under review . Don't know who the late postponement was but unless the rules have changed, once the away team set off the home team become liable for some or all of the expenses. Keep an eye out guys.

 

if we get three points, it would be a real statement. Connolly, Pritchard & Cooke are so vital to us and I think they will all play a big part this weekend.

Prediction: 1-2

#IBWT right?

 

Absolutely bouncing it down at the moment. Roads close to flooding in places, if it goes on like this the match simply cannot be played.
