Every game is a must win but if we are to stay in touch, this is more of a must win. Not often a happy hunting ground for us but just hope the lads can do the job here. One thing for sure, Albert has earned his starting place!
So Mccallum has a recurrence of the hamstring injury he had not long ago, and will be out fur a while ! Send him back to Norwich and get in a decent replacement in January. De Wijs has a calf injury and will be out for at least 3 weeks. Bloody marvelous, add Dykes foot injury into the equation and things aren't too rosy again. Field to play in another game this week and hopefully be available for first team selection soon !
Chuckles is ref so i am predicting a first half penalty for them (he gave them 2 at HQ last season) + they haven't scored a first half goal this season.
Yep, this a record which I thought they might break when I read about it. But hopefully, it will be the only one. The game is clearly winnable, but we must play well, take our chances and not make silly defensive mistakes. We are also due an away win! I am very interested in MW tactics for this match.
Perhaps worse if Dickie is out, he had some problem at the end of the Forest game. But otherwise we can put out a strongish team: Dieng Dickie, Dunne, Barbet Albert, Dozzell, Jacobsen, Moses Willock Chair Austin. And still have Gray. Duke, Ball, Kakay, Thomas, Amos and a Keeper on the Bench.
I think the team is ok. For me the choice of striker will depend on our tactics; Austin should we wish to play wider and cross, Gray if we wish to have more pace to get in behind. I guess will see both on the ptich today and and we can speculate as to the order of appearance. I would just change the Jacobsen guy for Stefan Johansen
Gray isn’t exactly Usain Bolt himself but against Cardiff’s lumbering oafs he might be a better bet than Austin to force them back a bit. Fearing the worst, vague optimism for the best as ever with Rangers midweek away in November.
Certainly need to take the 3 points tonight after last nights results. wouldn’t have expected to see Coventry, Luton and Blackpool up there pushing for play-off places - fair play to them at this stage. We need to get back on course and hope for a jump from 11th to 5th.
