This isn't just a game that we should win, it's a must win and we could be making a statement to the league too. Sheff Wed are not just a poor team, they're in open conflict with their owners, they're an absolute wreck. A team that goes up automatically, absolutely thumps a team like Sheff Wed. 0-3 Clarke, Roberts, Rusyn.
We seem to play well away from home, coupled with a bunch of fans who will be mightily pissed off, i can only see a 0-5 scoreline.
Anyone else can't wait for the team announcement? Not that long ago it was with fear, now it's with genuine excitement
It's become automatic to keep checking for the team news. I always look at the bench and laugh ... ... the nine of them could beat some of the teams we've fielded in the past.
And that's without everyone being fit! Going to be some very good players left in the stands if we had everyone available

Makes it a tougher game that we are favourites. Mentality and tempo need to be spot on, as well as our shooting boots.
I don't want to appear sanctimonious but I personally have to keep reminding myself that we've come on immensely since we were recently and deservedly in L1 going nowhere. We're going away from home in the Championship and, let's be honest, expecting a win ... some a big win. And, let's not forget, we're doing all this with a manager no-one wanted and the youngest bunch of kids in world football The horrendous plight of Sheff Wed shows us just how lucky we are ... ... Ha'way the Lads, let's enjoy it all before football destroys itself.
Cracking thread as usual @RTB . Can't see past a comfortable away win. I'm going 1 - 3 to the lads. Clarke with 2, and Pritchard. Ha'Way me bonny lads.
Bennette and Watson both with the U21s which suggests we don’t have any new injuries, as I think they’d have been next in line.
I’m predicting an unchanged team. Personally I’d make changes. At the very least I’d have Roberts in.
