Next up, fun cup tie at Man Utd. First off, whose going? Could meet up with fans before the game/ half time ( if possible ) - Looks like I'll be at Portman Road sat ( Mate has a free ticket ) so again happy to meet up with anyone before the game. We have a good advantage rest wise with us playing Friday and them Sunday - also, surely they are ( like us ) going to rotate severely. Lets hope James Wilson and a few get the chance, we may be able to take them that way. Surely a good chance for Mick to shuffle the deck - I hope Toure gets another chance as he looked lively Friday. Could Bru / Bishop make long awaited returns? Coke / Tabb may get a chance in the engine room. I actually think Tabb has been somewhat harshly treated this season - I mean he's not going to play out wide again thank christ but with Bishop / Bru out he could have had a chance. Douglas has certainly not pulled up any trees so far. Thoughts!? Can we shock them? Definitely lineup reliant. More bothered about the Bristol City game as we need to push on and get top 2. That looks very winnable they are not a good side this season. COYB.
I think we'll go with a strong team actually. Back five as normal except for Parr in at left back, who has more experience. Or he'll keep Knudsen to throw the ball onto Murphy's head, which he hasn't had much opportunity to do yet. Midfield of AMN, Bru, Skuse and Fraser. Murph and Sears up top. I think Mick will steer clear of playing too many who haven't got a few minutes under their belt recently in the league. We'll need the lads to be match sharp for this one. An unbelievable 2-2 draw at full time, we'll be thinking how's it ended up with that score after being under a lot of pressure in the final fifteen minutes. Sears and AMN score for us. Martial to start for Man U and score both. Man U to win 4-2 with both goals coming in the first period of extra time. Wonder what odds I'd get for that scenario! Or........this whole prediction could go tits up in a couple of days when Mick comes out and says he's playing some of the young'uns
Don't think them being cup tied is an issue I think both loans are season long without a recall clause...... I don't think they will be risked as they are more valuable in the more important league games....
I too think it will be an entertaining game, with MM fielding a strong team with a few held back for the very important league game. Like to see Bru and Bish back some time soon! But how good that we do have strength in depth. But, I do worry that with so many changes last 5 matches ( some enforced) that the same 11 havn't played together for 45 mins! Players at all levels need to get to know each other's ways and styles....and feel confident about each other. Talking of which, I doubt Gerks will be replaced tomorrow. 4-2 United! But give good account of ourselves.
Bart Mala Yorwerth Berra Parr Toure Bru Skuse Oar Didz Murphy Thats how i think he will start, cant predict score as aint got a clue who will start for Manure!
Good cheers Westy, as long as we dont get tonked...... That would not be good for morale, thats why i think Mick will play a stronger side. I actually made a mistake, i left out Terrific Tabby!! I hope he doesnt play but have a feeling....
I'd go with that......looks a decent side although admittedly I don't know much about Oar and Marlarky but Oar is an International and Marlarky commanded an impressive fee so could be good.....
I'll be there, expecting to be beaten in 90 but ever hopeful of a winner in injury time from Murphy's head. Bart Emmanuel Yorweth Berra Knudsen Sears Toure Skuse Fraser Murphy McG
Can't find a decent stream at all. They are all choppy as hell. 1-0 at half time, bring some of our regulars on and see what happens.
