    Rule came in 2012 that it’s the higher league position in the home strip. So we will be wearing the third I imagine as that doesn’t clash with any Sheff United home colours and we wore it at their place

    I personally think we might see Mundle and we will play on the front foot. Not sure we will do the same tactic with the same set up. Got to change it up and keep Lampard guessing

    I think it will be the exact same team but Mundle will be on bench probably in place of Harrison Jones

    I might be wrong but it looks to me like Huggins might not yet be in contact training? Looks like he’s outside the main group? Whereas Mundle seems full gas?

    Im getting all that from two still photos so pretty useless :D

    You are probably right, still it’s great to see him out on the grass

    He's sorted tickets over a fair old period of time for a few lads that I know personally and from what I've heard from those lads he's absolutely top drawer mate.

    I don't really know the lad myself but I think I've been in an extended group in away boozers a few times and he was also good crack.

    Been on a self imposed sabbatical from on here, still been at all the home games and really looking forward to Tuesday night.

    Some performance Friday night.

    Onward and upward.

    Plenty of time for him to join in before pre season, think that's the plan. Should be firing fit for when we come back for the premier season

    will be great to see him back out. Could probably do with a loan if we go up as unreasonable to expect him to become a premier league player at overnight

    Was in a pub in Coventry on Friday before the game and they had some posters up advertising the play off games.
    For the Championship final it had 5.30 ko but with an asterisk against it to say TBC. I have also heard it could be a 12.30 ko.
    We have 2 rooms booked for 4 nights since January and are waiting for confirmation before cancelling any. If it is 12.30 then we go the night before and come back Saturday, if it is 5.30 then travel down Saturday and stay over. If it is 3.00 then travel down night before and stay over :emoticon-0102-bigsm
    All this and it is our 45th wedding anniversary on the 24th but, she has got used to the rules after all these years. <laugh>

    Brilliant Smug, great to have someone that is 100% trustworthy in that scenario. I had the "pleasure" of travelling on Franky Wheatley's bus a few times when we couldn't get via our Ferryhill bus - great days

    They tried to book the Wheatsheaf but were knocked back.
