Well that's been a long two weeks...
Expect we'll be unchanged from our excellent display at Forest despite the arrivals, unless O'Kane is injured.
Wiedwald
Ayling Jansson Cooper Anita
Phillips O'Kane
Alioski Saiz Hernandez
Roofe
Only other option would be to play Lasogga and drop Roofe...
So let's get the show on the road...
4.30 Sunday on Sky.
Lots of debate over who'll line up for us but something like this I guess...
Wiedwald
Ayling Pennington Cooper Berardi
O'Kane Klich
Roofe Hernandez Alioski
Wood
Green, Anita, Vieira, Saiz, Dallas, Sacko, Ekuban
Always edgy about games like this.
Everyone talking about it being a matter of how many but it often doesn't go like that. I've more confidence in this team to handle the so-called easier games and this is just a simple no excuses - got to pick up all three.
I think you have to bring Hernandez...
Getting a bit tired of us being on the box :lol: Next Friday to look forward to as well...
Nice to be genuinely excited for our games these days after years of disillusionment. We're still missing a couple of key players but seems like Jansson and O'Kane will be okay for this which helps. Would...
Better get used to some more LUFC action on the old tellybox.
Well we should, and need to win this considering the fixtures we have coming up. However, no Hernandez is a real issue for us as he's our main creative outlet. Jansson suspended. A scrappy 1-0 and get the fuck out of there would be...
Could do with a win here after Tuesday's disappointment. Barnsley have surprised a few so far and seem pretty dangerous going forward so this will be a test.
Shame that Bridcutt is out for 6-8 weeks but Jansson should be back hopefully. That is more important...we're so much better with him in...
Well this is gonna be tough. I'm glad we're in a position now where there's less pressure on us. Even if we lose, it's not the end of the world and we can happily take a point imo. Be hilarious if we win and then against Barnsley on Saturday and suddenly be just about top 6 though!
I think we...
Should be a decent gauge of whether we are progressing or whether we've just met some poor sides lately. Not feeling overly confident but if Ipswich play direct that'll suit our back line I'd think. Pace still likely to cause problems though. We haven't conceded from inside the box since the...
Lunchtime kick off.
Two shite teams. Hopefully Bridcutt is fit then our team will be similar to Tuesday though I'd expect Wood to come back in for Antonsson.
Green
Ayling Bartley Jansson Taylor
Bridcutt O'Kane
Sacko Hernandez Dallas
Wood
How are they doing?
Ours have been pretty underwhelming really. Some good on paper who I'm sure would thrive elsewhere just haven't hit the ground running...
Rob Green is no better than what we already have (although Silvestri's a bellend so meh).
Luke Ayling started well but the general...
Another season of disappointment is upon us again!
Not sure how we'll line up with Berardi/Hernandez lacking in match fitness, and Bridcutt not having signed yet. All would start normally. Suspect something like this:
Green
Berardi
Bartley
Bamba
Taylor
Diagouraga
Grimes/Vieira/Murphy
Dallas...
The usual game on Sky between these clubs between Christmas and New year. We haven't won in this period since 2009.
Both teams a bit improved of late but I'm not confident, even though we must be doing something right to have only lost twice on the road this season.
After the positivity of...
Tough game but really need to get our home campaign going. Been rubbish at ER for ages now.
Silvestri
Berardi
Bamba
Cooper
Taylor
Buckley
Murphy
Cook
Mowatt
Dallas
Wood
Stream for this so will be watching.
Ins and outs?
IN:
Charlie Horton (GK) - In from Cardiff. Young American who is just going to take his time and play for our development squad with the hope that he progresses in the next couple of years into a contender for the first team.
Ross Turnbull (GK) - Joined from Barnsley just as a...
Thought I'd start the thread to gain some interest etc but no start date yet...no limits on people as it's a team game and the amount of teams/number of people in the teams will be sorted out when numbers are confirmed.
The schedule is also something that will be confirmed upon having a...
Well this is the most excited I've been for a few years at least for the start of the season. A good summer for a change, renewed optimism and a feeling of togetherness...all ready to be shattered tomorrow :lol:
Having been to Millwall on the opening day last year, this cannot be any worse...
Tomorrow night, Elland Road. Rearranged due to Bournemouth's FA Cup commitments. Obviously we have none of those.
So can we do the double? Probably not. Ought to be goals. Mainly in our net I'd imagine. We were a shade unlucky at the weekend and hopefully we can take some momentum into this...
Whenever I try and search I get an error message? Not sure but doesn't really matter this early into the forum's life!
EDIT: Hmm, just tried again and it worked. Weird. Ignore.
Hey.
So today the latest drama is Cellino failing with his appeal. No surprise there. Now wondering if he'll appeal the failed appeal (yeah, seriously).
So as things stand he's got to step down from an involved position in the club until mid-April when his conviction is spent. Problem here is...
