7th win on the trot tonight something like 14 unbeaten it's going to be one tough job to stop them


Given we’ve got very little to play for and they will be looking for automatic they’re going to be pumped up. After that run of wins nerves probably won’t get to them. Our best hope? Complacency.

I still have an excellent bottle of whisky, seal intacta, that I will open and enjoy when we beat someone the form book says we really shoudn't have. So far Matos has done a good job protecting my general health, but I hope he completely fails to do that come Saturday afternoon.


Watford away?

That would have done it but I was under the cosh that weekend, called in to help with someone else's disastrously overdue project.

Turning over Southampton would be very, very sweet, but I'm not holding my breath. It would be nice to do the Gogs a favour too, especially as it wouldn't actually help them.

Human psychology will play a big part in this. We may go out there screaming at the top of our voices, beating our chests and saying we are going to do this (by ‘we’ I mean the players) but deep down we won’t. This is just the way it is in any sport anywhere in the world.

Does that mean we won’t win? No, of course it doesn’t but the whole thing is stacked against us. Deep down, maybe not that deep, they’ll be far more pumped up for this than us. It’s just a fact.

He kept Darling out of the centrehalf position on the left side, his down fall for me was his unforgiveable error was actually against Southhampton Sheenhan's last game in charge or you could say William's first, Southampton had run us ragged in the first half but at 1-0 we were still in the game until Woods stupid backpass to Rushworth's few mistakes, it took the game away from us and gave Martin a platform to take Southampton up instead of honouring his contract and stay and prove he was as good a coach as he thought he was. Ultimately he proved he could take a team of a standard up but couldn't develop them to a higher standard to keep them in the premier league, which seemed to be the case with us unable improve our squad by good coaching.

Wood was a good player when he came to us and was when he left had he improved maybe but you would expect any young player with a good head to strive to prove himself

What two would you play in midfield if you did that.

this is going to be a really tough game, they are currently in very good form blowing all away before them and they have promotion in their sights so for me if we can get a point we will have done well
you can do it lads

Personally I feel if you did that they would cut straight through our midfield and we wouldn't be able to press as Matos likes.

Yes I take your point . My feeling is the best form of defence is attack . We are going to concede a goal in this game perhaps 2 maybe 3 anyway . I would rather us take the attitude of ok you score one we score one.Get the ball forward quickly Nunes and Ronald out wide .
If you attack at speed they will be less keen to flood forward themselves as it will leave gaps . One thing is for sure we cant play the slow tippy tappy build up play against these

Archer and Manning will destroy us down their left and when they come down the right Archer pops up in the 10 role. We will be under tremendous pressure throughout the game and have less possession, I think we will need some quick play to hit them on the break, similar to Saturdays goal. We will do well to get a draw.

Hopefully their players will have one eye on their Wembley FA cup SF appearance next weekend against Man City and wont want to risk any injuries. 😁

😁I’d forgotten about that and that might influence it slightly. Promotion has to be their main goal but players may look for the glory a cup final brings so we’ll see.

True about less possession . The problem then is when we have it we have a lone striker up front running around lacking support and more easily snuffed out - result the ball comes straight back at us. I would like to see Idah playing as a link man , a bit deeper than Vipotnik so he can run at them and lay the ball off to a moving Vipotnik also drawing fouls in good field positions to get shots /headers on goal. It would get the home crowd up and the noise level would be like an extra man .
It would give them far more to think about , lots of movement up front and it would make the most of Vipotnik's talents. I feel at times we are only getting and seeing half of what he is really capable of.
We will have to start fast against these or we will get blown away early doors and I would rather see us going out on our shields than laying down meekly.
