    The line about it being a long season is a good one - he's calm about the current run, we aren't losing games and whilst we are making mistakes he is identifying them. I have no issue at all with the result on Sat. Coventry was the only annoying one for me...

    The last 2 (ciov and millwall) we would’ve won if we could finish. Both games we had chances to put the game to bed! Both annoying for me, but that’s cos I’m in a bad mood generally today for some reason!!!!

    Interesting regis says 3 or 4 players back in December so might no be needing much in Jan, for what it’s worth, samed seelt abdullahi and Poveda all make match day squads you’d imagine

    There is a decent argument for Mayenda, Connelly and Ballard starting tomorrow night, although Ballard seemed to be limping late on Saturday?

    Maybe we go right after them with Mayenda and Connelly starting then bring Roberts and Rigg on to calm things and keep more possession?

    all just musings and no doubt RLB has a far better game plan and idea to put WBA to the sword.

    The players have much better facilities, dieticians, physios and whatever else on hand straight away now though. Providing players will miss a few matches and we don’t bother with the cups, 40 games a season isn’t many at all. Should be able to play twice a week no problem at this level it’s not up to pace with the PL imo.

    They analysed the goal and he said we made about 5/6 mistakes quickly that let them score. I noticed two so they’re doing better than me at fixing it :D

    Team should be.....Patto, Hume,Mepham,O9,Aji,Riggy,Neil,Jobe,Elizer,Wilson,Tommy...Pat,Connolly and maybe even Jewi to come on from the bench if it goes tits up and we need a goal. If we get tired,Aleksic,Adil,to come on.....Dan and Joe at the back. No worries,looking good.

    Not that I heard but someone from the echo spoke to him after the game and said he was OK - just felt a bit dizzy

    Get Ballard on Maja and don’t give him food until Maja has left the field

    Just to mention that we have played 9 away to 7 at home which should be taken into consideration when looking at our league position.

    with the squads they’ve got we’ve matched them. Impressed

    Belter RTB !!
    Looking forward to this one, important players back and for me all 3 should be starting, Jobe, Hume & Roberts would walk into any team in the league. I fancy a high scoring entertaining game, I am going for a 4-2 win with Jobe on the scoresheet.

    Great as always RTB was a little bit flat after Saturday but right back up for this one can’t wait, my m8s got a house guest over from Trinidad and he’s coming along hope he’s got some thermals and brings us a little bit of luck, gona be another tough one but I’m hoping we can get the win so I’ll go 3-1 the lads COME ON

    I think it’ll be another score draw.

    Sorry if this has been mentioned, just skipped to the end.

    But if Jobe/Mepham get booked tomorrow will they be suspended for Friday? In the past I think they've skipped a match before suspension.

    Thanks

    For me Hume, Roberts and Jobe come straight back in for Ballard, Mayenda and Connelly or Rigg - would like to see Connelly given another go behind Wilson but wouldn't be adverse for Rigg too keep his place higher up the pitch. Going for a 2-1 to us, Wilson and Jobe with Maja scoring on his return

    It’s our time for a late winner.

    1-2 Roberts brace.

    HAWAY

    On data thread we are showing as one of best teams for finishing in the league. Not doing too bad and sometimes it just doesn’t fall for you. Now time to duck in case your mood hasn’t lifted :emoticon-0102-bigsm
