3-1 Jacky x 2 and Rusyn.

This is a game we need to win, we’ve seen Ipswich finally drop 4 points which should have been a livener but then to fail v 10 last week was a real let down.

My eyes now are on keeping up with Leeds cos they are starting to find their feet, and they were one I hoped would have a transitional season and not get a head of steam.

Not sure what’s going on with Brum ownership, but they showed early in season they are a decent side and it won’t be a walk over. I have always been a massive Rooney fan as a player and person but I don’t see him as one that’s gonna be a top manager.

Important we do our bit and back the lads loud and proud let’s get this one boxed off, looks like they’ve done a fantastic job with the pre match display again as well, so that will be great for those watching on TV.

Couple of games involving head to head with teams around us means a win should shift us upwards.

Ha’waaaaaaaaaaaay the top 6.

Unfortunately I think teams just sitting back against us is going to be the norm, we can’t hurt anyone when we’re passing the ball around on the half way line. Really need some quality in that final third and as you said it’s up to us to break them down but it’s TM as well as the players. Can’t keep forcing the same ideas if they don’t work. Reckon Rusyn will be quality once he finds his feet so hopefully sooner rather than later. The frustrating thing is if teams came out to play against us these strikers would be getting chance after chance.

Not much of that last nights"North West Derby" both sides attacking at speed for the 90 minutes, horses for courses , I'm not sure we can adapt to suit the situation as well as other teams are able too. I'm expecting the same again to day for TM with the only change being Seelt and Cirkin in for O/9 and Ballard . I would go along with this but he needs to speed up the game and changes if required. Its his one weakness imo.

Another great thread RTB. I'm in 2 minds about this one mainly because of the defensive situation. I think he'll only put Seelt in for Ballard and switch Hume to centre half with Cirkin at left back and Huggins at right. We need to start feeding Rusyn quicker and more often. Hopefully we start quick and get a goal to get them to play out more to leave spaces for us to hurt then. I'm gonna go for a nervy 2-1
