I would be happy with a draw today this is far from an easy game.

Just looking at the fixtures today and the table. Norwich have Ipswich, Coventry face Leeds and Hull have a tricky tie at Cardiff. If we consider last weekend’s results we got away with one really and with those chasing us having tougher fixtures again today we really need to be recording a win and consolidating 5th. If we draw and those below close the gap as well as Middlesborough seemingly racing up the table it could get a bit squeaky.

Need to get back to winning ways today.

All much easier said than done with Stoke fighting to stay up.

I hope to see Diangana back in today and Johnston and Fellows on the wings. BTA likes a goal against Stoke so keep him in.

Hopefully Kipre will be back in at the back as Ajayi concerns me every time he’s on the pitch.

Unbeaten in 8 and one defeat in 12 - what do you mean by ‘the way we are going’ . Definitely not guaranteed but I believe the team has the character and skill and never say die to get us into the playoffs

Yes we have some good results as you say but from what I can glean from the in game and after match comments, it’s not because of how well we are playing. Always seems to be negative comments so I have to assume we are capable of losing a few games.

I really wouldn’t take too much notice of the in game thread. We are doing okay, despite not always playing champagne football.

Never liked this fixture, after being beaten up after drawing 0-0, with us missing a penalty in the last minute, about 50 years ago now. Not confident at all of us getting anything at this dumpster of a ground. ( please prove me wrong)

Kipre is back in, as is Diangana for Swift and Wallace for Fellows

That would be my team. Either Wallace or Fellows to start out wide swapping in the second half.

Norwich close the gap to one point after their win today v Ipswich. We need 3 points to keep that gap. Remember, we have Leicester away to come.

lewisant · « **Reply #58 on:** April 06, 2024, 02:58:05 PM »

That Stoke team is completely alien to me! Decent side, hope Wallace is out wide.

Empty seats galore in the home end

Palmer saves with his feet.

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #62 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:08:53 PM »

Must keep the ball down. It is too windy.

Fritzl Palace · « **Reply #63 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:09:26 PM »

BTA’s inability to control a football almost costs us a goal straight away

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #64 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:10:42 PM »

Need someone to collect the ball and take it forwards by them selves.

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #65 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:11:13 PM »

Passing is poor again.

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #66 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:12:57 PM »

It's all them at the moment.

Fritzl Palace · « **Reply #67 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:14:50 PM »

Cov winning. This game becomesd very important, suddenly. We've started poorly again

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #68 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:14:54 PM »

They get a corner.

Fritzl Palace · « **Reply #69 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:15:55 PM »

Why is Palmer not claiming that? Kipre heads it out for a corner for no reason

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #70 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:16:03 PM »

Need half time NOW. Get the earfull off KC to gee them up.

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #71 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:18:03 PM »

we get a corner

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #72 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:18:54 PM »

2nd corner from that.

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #73 on:** April 06, 2024, 03:19:57 PM »

They break. Need to get back.

Why are people surprised by this start? His game plan whether we are home or away is keep it tight for the first hour, snatch a goal, make loads of subs and try to defend that lead. He does it every single game regardless.
