Interesting guest match summariser. I wonder what he'll have to say about City?

Almost impossible to be optimistic as we're away from home, so I'll go for another embarassing away day loss 3-1 to Bristol city.

Bah!

 

Ensure you cast your vote at the top of the OP then General

 

Nice one Rich, good to see Cameron McGeehan, hope his broken leg is progressing well, they love him at Luton!

 

Smashing effort KIO. Thank you...

 

Bloody hell if we thought we had it bad the Robins fans are suicidal !

You'll be fine mate, we are utter ****, have been for 6 months under Mr Clueless

 

Great thread as usual KIO and yes, it will be interesting to hear Cameron's view on our game.
I predict that Newcastle will go behind early on and snatch a victory at the end!!!!
Won't really affect the table whatever the outcome.

I thought AN said he was going to make significant changes, yet STILL has Martin and Naismith starting.
He says one thing and does another - typical.

 

I'd rather have Klose than Martin

 

Well Ruddy & Klose were responsible for less goals against Sheffield Wednesday than Martin and both get dropped, meanwhile Martin keeps his place because ?????

Significant changes my arse.

 

Some surprises there! Ruddy on the bench; Klose not even in the team. Good to see Godfrey and Maddison on the bench. I hope they get some playing time. That said, looking at the lineup I'm not really filled with confidence.

 

I totally agree canario, but he CAN'T/WON'T drop his captain, who I (and many others) believe is THE WEAKEST LINK!!!!

 

I've added the team graphic to the OP but poor Maddison hasn't been allocated his squad no. on the site I use, so in case you were wondering his is the 'blood' shirt on the subs bench LOL

 

I'd LOVE to see blood on AN's tracksuit top when a disgruntled fan punches him on the nose!!!!

 

I've just noticed that the General has gone for a City win in the Poll

Great match thread again KIO.

Have to think that Klose picked up a knock on Saturday. Glad to see Maddison and Godfrey on the bench. I've gone for a win as well, KIO!

 

great thread and even in these depressing times KIO you manage to put in 100% effort.

A note on the team selection i really do not see the point in playing Tettey, Naismith and CJ, the prior are far to defensive\not switched on for me and CJ although puts in the effort he misses far to many. Nothing like giving it a good go for the fans....
