Match Day Thread Black cats tails up!

This will be a 6 pointer if ever there was one at this stage of this strange season, and running up to Christmas - what's that?

While most of us are dismayed at our inconsistancy, long injury list and at times, poor player selection, we do seem to pull off unlikely wins. And oddly we are up at 2nd in table. If we get our game going early on, we have a slim chance of staying in top 4 or thereabouts, not bad early November. We certainly need to be quick of the blocks tonight, full of energy and get in their face. Any idiot errors will be punished, and I am hopeful that our new young faces can rise to the occasion, up at another Big Club.

Not seen the team sheet yet, but I can hear Spanish's groans at Judge again!

Hard fought game, and a deserved 1-1 draw.

 

Obviously it's all team selection dependent, but if we have a full team, with no new fresh injuries, i have a feeling this could be a very good night for us....
I'd like to see us have a good go at them, and surprise them with a gung ho approach. I'd be tempted to play both Edwards and Bennets out wide, with Hawkins the target man in the middle. In the middle i'd expect dozy and bish, with hopefully Huws as the muscle in the middle.
Defence surely picks itself.

I'm gonna stick my neck out and go for a 1-4 victory.
Bennets, Ollie, Wolfy and Bish
*Disclaimer - i'll edit this once i see the team sheet

 

Like your optimism Stretchy, and agree a go at 'em style might surprise us all

 

If we have any more injuries Stretchyboy we wouldn't be able to put a team out

I'd take a draw all day with this, they've got some really good players with high level experience and we've got a long injury list and relying on a quite inexperienced squad. 0-0 hard fought backs to the wall job. I reckon it'll be the same team but Huws will start in midfield for physical presence, think we might go more direct tonight

 

Wolfenden out as is having to self-isolate.

 

FFS - that totally changes everything. Not seen the rest of the team. but with calamity starting, they are guaranteed a couple of goals

 

Front looks a bit unbalanced for me with Lanky, Jacko and Taffy up front. For me, neither can play central, so will be interesting to see how they shape up.

I'm not as confident now, but i'll go for a high scoring game, and possibly a 3-3 draw. Taffy, Judgey & a Ward screamer

 

Very lightweight midfield and up top. Definitely would have started Wilson ahead of Nsiala

 

I’m with itfcptc a draw is as much as I dare hope for.Anyone watching on IFollow at the moment?I’ve got sound but no picture

 

COYB. Huge 6 pointer

 

trying to get it up and running

 

FFS no sound now either!

 

Adverts have just started,was KO not 19-00?

Technical problem at their end

 

Just got a message on the screen laughing at me and saying “You actually paid for this you ****wit”

 

iFollow **** up again, kick off pushed back half hour.

For what is supposed to be the official EFL streaming service, iFollow is a ****in' disaster. The most important part of their job is to get matches on live and they screw up every week. Audio issues every match where it sounds like the commentators are broadcasting on a radio station that isn't tuned in properly.
Even the video quality looks like Standard definition and not HD.

Is this really acceptable for 2020?

 

According to BBC website, game is yet to kick off.

 

Match delayed to 7.30, due to technical issues with communications..

 

Kick off delayed to 7:30.

 

They’ve only had all afternoon to stick the right plug in the right hole!!

 

If no-one is watching, did it really happen?
