Yeah, his contract is up on June 30th, along with Hume, James, Matthews, Ruiter and Honeyman. Not sure if this list is comprehensive. I wonder what would happen if we played Kimpioka and Sterling at the same time.
One way to find out right. If your lads up front aren’t doing the business take them out for a game or so. Just like what happened with McGuirre. Keeps everyone on their toes
Watmore should only be used as a super sub for now, and start with an extra mid-field player to help manage the game. The three who finished up front last game should start, give them decent service and they will do the business imo.
Think with our January arrivals we will see less of Kimpi and Mumba at what is now the business end of the season. I'm all for giving these kids a go but don't think Jack has that luxury at the moment. Time will tell.
None of us are in any doubt that a resounding victory is vital in this game, club and fans alike. We have to go for it from the start. I appreciate Ross's tactics of letting the opposition blow themselves out but it doesn't work at home. The away team settle into the game and it stifles the atmosphere. We need to use the fear factor from the off. Run at their defence and get some free kicks, corners, bookings to gee up our crowd. And PLEASE don't launch the ball up to yet another 6'7" defence ffs. 3-0 to us and start of the rest of the season.
Crazy to think that, after playing SAFC at the SoL, only 3 teams have gone on to win their next game - and, from looking at some of their fans comments on social media and forums, they seem to be a lot more tired after playing SAFC than any other team this season (including Barnsley and Luton!) We're the team everyone wants to stop winning which makes our job a lot harder. Some of our fans also make our job a lot harder - the negativity in the stadium is crazy - I've said before about my Dad - if he wasn't my Dad I'd probably have punched him by now!!! Beaten twice all season (as opposed to not winning many more than that by this time in the last 2 seasons) - only one team in the country more difficult to beat in the league than us and they've spent hundreds of millions. "It's only Accrington Stanley <or any other side we've played)" I hear all the time - when did we become so arrogant to think that we should just brush these teams aside (Not you Smug but a large number of our fans) - whilst, as a club of SAFCs size, we would always hope to be beating teams like that, we are down here because we deserve to be - in the same league as Accrington, Wycombe etc. I have a very positive outlook - still well in touching distance with 45 points to play for. 10 wins would likely see us home IMO
A bloke at work recently retired. A genuine hillbilly and a son of a bitch, infamous for having fired his 'daddy.' They might lose today, but we won't!
Bit nervy about tonight. I figured 6 points from these 3 games would be like treading water and now even a win tonight would only equate to 5 so it's damage limitation in that regard. Everything is still small margins at this point, turning draws into wins, performing for full games rather than sections of them, etc. I do feel though that if the gap widens at all in the next few games there'll be too much ground to make up in the last 10. On the plus side there's almost no chance of failing to make the play-offs so if it's just a case of giving players like Grigg time to get up to speed then going into those as favorites is something at least.
Its the team a few of us would have picked, talking about the game this afternoon, so here goes fingers crossed.
Cattermole ? so the idea is another slow start hehe, Wyke ahead of Sterling ?. leadbitter was doing the sidewards and backwards bit last Friday, so now two when it was 2-2.
