We've won one in our last six, Leeds have won three in theirs. Our top scorer in the league is Frey, with 7, theirs is Piroe with 15 (James also has 10). They've scored 74 and conceded 23, we've scored 42 and conceded 48. I could go on, but everything suggests it is going to be a stroll today for the likely champions this year. Unless Marti Cifuentes can somehow work out a way to break them down, I fear the worst. That said, I'd be far happier losing having had a go, than setting up with ten/eleven behind the ball trying to limit the damage from the start. Cifuentes' pre-match comments; “I'm a big believer that actually what happened at the start of the season helped us to be the team that we are now,” Cifuentes said, in reference to Rangers responding to one win from their first 15 league games by winning eight of their next 13, losing just once during that period. “That's why I think the players, all of them, are confident that we can get out of this trend of results because we have been there before and we know how to manage it,” he continued. “That doesn't mean that it will happen by itself. That doesn't mean that we can just wait and see until it changes because the reality is that for us it changed in November because we worked really hard, because we really pushed all together to our limit to make sure that we were changing the situation. “And this is not an exception. We need to make sure that we understand that it's far from over, that we need more points, that we need to bounce back as soon as possible, that we're going to play against the best team in the league on Saturday and we're going to need the very best of all of us, from players, from staff, from everybody in the club, from the fans as well.”
Cheers Dave. Love to see us beat them but just can’t see it happening this time. Our best chance could be them being cocky, but surely they won’t make that mistake again? I’m seeing Handsworth’s own Steel Pulse in the excellent O2 Institute (capacity 1500, proper) in Birmingham on Friday night, I imagine just breathing in anywhere around the venue could be relatively mind altering given their core fan base. I’ll see what I feel like on Saturday morning to decide whether to make the trip.
Nice one Dave Sadly can only see Stans oracle-esque prediction of a losing spree continuing The only thing consistent under El Cif is our inconsistency
With Leeds's proclivity for bottling and our bewildering inconsistency, I make the 5/1 available for tomorrow a great value bet.
Even off the back of the aberrations that were last Saturday and Tuesday I’d say we’ve a fair chance at home with something close to a full squad. If it’s old man Jack shuffling around for a third game in a week against their midfield I can’t see it. Paal doing his best to not get injured ‘marking’ Manor Solomon. Good luck everyone. A front line of Saito, Frey and Smyth always has a chance I feel on their day. The rest of the defence for their various faults I know will give it their all and are decent players but the midfield is where we’ll get ****ed as we usually do.
Not holding out much hope, just hoping the 9 point buffer + crap teams at the bottom ensure our survival yet again I'm back for the Easter double header, PNE away and I think the Swans at HQ BH Monday By then I'm assuming midtable obscurity assured
Tomorrow I'm in lovely Andalsnes in Norway, roughly 300 kms North of Stavanger and some 100 kms down a fjord where the air temperature will be about 2 degress but the wind chill will make it sub zero..... Still it's a 1:30 kick off there and after lunch so hopefully will be able to sit and watch it online..... Hopefully Massive fall apart again.... there are a few Massive fans on board..... would be nice to do a number of the entitled so 'n' so's.....
Thanks for the heads up on the ko, our clocks sprang forward an hour last Sun so only a -3 hour time difference for now. Had achy limb flu like symptoms for several days last week but ready for my 9:30am 1km swim (40 laps x 25m) if I make it that far today. Was 45 mins yesterday for what should normally be a 30 something swim. So should be back home to catch 10:30am ko (AST), definitely a liquid brunch. Past experience has shown that we are definitely capable of pulling something like this off on any given day at HQ, so perhaps this pooch will have its day. Long Live on Mid-Table Mediocrity! Can then perhaps snooze through this performance at 2pm at our local recently renovated Cineplex, now with extreme comfort reclining armchairs. FIDELIO (BEETHOVEN) GERMAN W/EST – METROPOLITAN OPERA
Today is a shot to nothing. Most of us expect to lose so anything else is a bonus. It's now about the teams below us, Stoke away and Cardiff at home. It would be really nice not to go on a long losing streak and survive by a point or just goal difference!
They’ve got an absolutely mental record in London. Something 27 defeats in the last 34. Also a mentally positive record when scoring first- no defeats in 75 games. Neither of which matter at all as we’re getting pumped by at least three.
Last game of my 3 game week. Some serious mileage and some very abject performances to put up with. With our 3 midfielders out Field, Varane and Chair, only 1 fit "striker" a left back that wont tackle, and evidently the only player who looks like scoring/creating something playing at Right Back not very confident! Ronnie moved into midfield late on against Boro and would prefer to see that that watching Colback waddle around the pitch. 1st visit to HQ since watching a screening of Oldham away in play off match!
