Popular Post MikeO Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 My first match since December 2018 amazingly, where in the world does the time go? At arguably one of the most important moments in our history, going to be tense and intense....but still looking forward to it. How I feel after is up for question; just a single win is making things look so different at the moment (Brentford on Saturday).

AlbanyNYToffee Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Enjoy @MikeO If you look at the results it seems like 4231 causes Wolves the most trouble. Pickford Kenny Godfrey Branthwaite Mykolenko Allan Doucoure Gray DVB Gordon Richarlison Wolves do play Thursday so we'll have the fresher legs, not that any of us think it's a matter of fresh legs that can save us.

Btay Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 We need to keep the ball and let our defence do as little work as possible. Pickford Patterson Godfrey Branthwaite Myko DVB Allan Gordon Dele Gray Richarlison Dele for Doucs is harsh but we need extra quality on the ball. It’s also imperative we score first so it settles the team. Hopefully, by some divine miracle we can get ourselves 2-0 up and then bring on the energy of Doucoure and maybe DCL as an outlet to see it out.

Not digging you out just I played left back and it’s killing me that we don’t have a left footed player on our left hand side of the pitch so we can’t cross the ball or do anything.

Anything less than 6 points from Wolves and Newcastle and I struggle to see where the required points will come from. I'll be watching the games on TV as I recover from testing C-19+ve. Hope you are feeling alright mate and get a speedy recovery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like: "In the middle of the night Yossarian Mike knocked on wood, crossed his fingers, and tiptoed out of his tent to move the bomb line up over Bologna.” Is dvine intervention an option? Enjoy the game - if we win, you may have to stay there till the Newcastle game. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunc1089 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 I'm very worried about this game. I think if we lose this we're in serious trouble for ending up in the championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampard must be having sleepless nights trying to pick a team here. The “senior” players have let him down so badly. To think we are in a relegation scrap and potentially having to look to two 20 year olds to come into defence to get better results is incredible. What makes Lampard look worse? Play Keane and Coleman again and potentially get ripped apart again Or Play Branthwaite & Patterson and not get a result.

We are incredibly lucky that the bottom of the table stinks so much. Lifeline after lifeline comes our way as Norwich, Watford, Burnley and Leeds keep losing. But can we take advantage? I've seen nothing to suggest it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't play Keane (ever again) and Coleman, surely? Get the young ones in. Keep it simple. Hopefully, Gray's return gives us some cutting edge.

It seems a very long way off now - and Leeds are dire, too. There were moments at the start of the season, but that was even longer ago and in a galaxy far, far away....

Hafnia Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 scheduled for 1.30..... watch that absolute melt Alistair Macgowan from the BBC try and get lampard involved in political things so he trips himself up with his Chelsea links and USM stuff on our side- he's an idiot.

And as true as night follows day macgowan having tickled him with a gentle opener tries to get a rise from him over having benefited from Roman in his time at Chelsea ffs Gwlad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought Leeds would get at least a point at home to Villa but apparently it was another collapse. I therefore think it is Norwich, Watford and, probably, Leeds to go down and a record low points total (very low 30's) will see us finish 4th bottom. Not good enough though. I am therefore going for a 1-1 draw v Wolves and I think it may be the same v Newcastle. I watched a bit of the first half of that Leeds game and they were terrible. They were just as bad at the back but also completely impotent in attack. Usually you can rely on Leeds to create chances even if they don't convert them.

MikeO Posted March 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Won't be able to post MOTM on Sunday as I'll be in the Winslow most likely, my normal pre-match hostelry (Players Bar) has shut down sadly; so if someone could do it I'd be grateful.

DownUnderToff Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Friend of mine is a mad wolves fan. He says they've had no answer to teams pressing them aggressively, so I have some hope here. We need to be on and at them early, hopefully (this time) with shots on target and get 1 in. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 I fully expect Goodison to be a bear pit tomorrow, the fans know the importance of the match and will cheer the team on. If the team get the confidence from the fans then we can go on and get a performance and result that will lift us. I'm so excited about tomorrow because so much is at stake, but I trust Frank and his team, and the players to deliver. COYB MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
