That's a concern, we've rode our luck in multiple games depending on the opposition being ****e but if they aren't we could be in trouble. On the other hand our keeper is very good and we've got the likes of Baldwin and Oviedo in defence so I think we'll be harder to score against than most. I can't see us conceding more than one or two goals in any game but I can see us scoring three or four.
Ha'way me bonny lads.. I finish my stint of nights in the morning, so will be out on the piss early tomorrow afternoon..
That left side is concerning. McGeady ain't one for getting back and helping out, and Oviedo is a wing back rather than a full back. Also Flanagan didn't look too clever against Cov
That's why McGeouch & Power are important! They are probably going to have to be the mobile ones in this game. McGeady is a lazy twat with some superb ability and vision! Won't chase anything less than a 60/40 though and won't help out the defence! Need the 2 CMs to get involved helping out the defence. That said, when one of the full backs goes forward, recently our back 4 has become a back 3. I'm trying to steer clear of predictions for this one - toughest game so far
If it is going to be that team I would play McGeady as a No 10 in a 4-4-1-1, and put Maguire on the wing. Maguire is more willing to support the full back
Yeah good call. Gooch is a constant runner and doesn't stop - think we'll miss him massively. Just seen in the Chronicle that he'll be out for around 10 days. But got no timescale on Loovens or Hume. Obviously Catts is missing so almost half of the outfield players are missing tonight. Time for McGeouch to step up one thinks!
The timing of this game looks bad, re: injuries. Tonight we will see just how well our current squad is set up to compete to win this league. Unfortunately I think we’ll get turned over.
I'm nervous about tonight! Can't remember being nervous about a home game in the last 3 or 4 years! Just turned up, got beat, went home - expected!! Looking forward to it though - love the night matches
Tough game and a big game. To be champions we need to beat these at home but we don't have to look good doing it Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk
Swap Mcgeady with Maguire dropping Mcgeady just off Maja I say Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk
a little off topic, but ive got a pass for the live streaming tonight, anyone know how i use it? presuming there will be a link closer to kick off on the SAFC website?
Usually a link on the matchday page, but if not open the menu, go to Video. There you will see "Buy" and "live" items. Lie takes you to the stream, and if you are logged in with a pass, it should work!
Our bench doesnt look too strong, seems some are out due to illness? starting 11 looks alright, cant work the formation out though.
These Kids wont let us down believe me, hope to see one or two involved tbh, but it looks a decent starting eleven considering.
Barnsley will win the league, Portsmouth 2nd just watch my predication we will make the play offs, the injuries are starting again and now Honeyman ! but get back to 4-4-2 as 1 up front was like Defoe a couple of seasons ago.
