Fri 7th/ Sat 8th Feb fixtures

[thewwfc]

Not a complete set of fixtures this weekend given there's a few L1 sides still in the FA Cup (us included) but quite a few games still on.

 

[EricSabin]

Not going to Mansfield after the late switch of day, fuck em (and before any Mansfield fans moan - our supporters liaison got an earful about our part in it on Saturday in the bar before Huddersfield).

They’ve obviously had a shit run but they’ll most likely get back to form and beat us at Field Mill as they always do.

Blackpool at home
Got draw written all over it.
Which is ok if Northampton lose, otherwise we fall further away.

After last year's trip to Lincoln, I just hope we can sit down on the journey home.

Got to fancy your chances? We’ve just got deservedly beaten by three of the bottom four, and we are without nearly our entire backline due to injuries and a suspension.

I can’t make it due to the change, so not happy either!

Be interesting to see if he tries to fit in Rhodes and Vickers, the latter will require a new system or the diamond which we used to great success last season, lost after selling DKD.

Crawley tend to perform better against the better teams (hence we are always crap against a Clough team) . Expect a good Performance and a plucky loss away at Bolton .

They have already let ex gas Loft and Marquis score against them recently. Step forward Mr Eaves

Rotherham away this Saturday. 2 wins and 2 draws from our previous visits to New York stadium. Don't think we lost at the Don Valley either. But then we've not got a good home record against them (nor Wembley).

Could really do with a win as it's now something like 86 games without back to back wins, the longest streak by some distance in the EFL going back to February 2023.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

6 of our next 7 at home are against Cambridge, Burton, Crawley, Bristol Rovers, Exeter and Shrewsbury. Teams fighting for their lives, its going to be a tough watch!

Neither ourselves or Birmingham are playing. I'm surprised the league haven't cancelled all games out of respect.

 

[LordJord]

Not going to the rearranged game today, would have been there if it was its original saturday date so ill be watching on Ifollow (the coms are better than sky+).

Despite winning out last game and looking improved in general I still dont feel confident at all. I still feel that we dont retain the ball well enough and despite Mansfields poor recent form we have an awful record there.

Im going for a 2-1 loss sadly, would be delighted at a scrappy point.

They'll still end up getting a penalty somehow.

Home to Cambridge.

We're without Walker, Cadamarteri, Moylan, Hamer and unfortunately Erhahon, who went off at HT last weekend at Wigan and is out for a few weeks.

Wickens was back on the bench last weekend but despite that, Skubala decided to keep Jeacock in goal.

Can't see a repeat of last season, we're a low chance creation side albeit Collins has 2 in 3 since his arrival.

If we harbour any hopes of an unlikely second half of the season run to be the PO's mix, we need a decent points return from our February fixtures (Cambridge (h), Orient (a), Mansfield (a) and Burton (h)), starting tomorrow.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Wanna throw this one so you can stick 10 past us next season?

Losing Erhahon is a massive loss. Since suspension he's been the only one looking to make positive passes into the final third. We've been a tough watch these past few weeks/months. I went to Wigan where imo we were fortunate to get anything. Lots of diaganol balls to nowhere.

 

[AmberAndy]

Having passed up the chance of a comfortable win at Rotherham we really need something out of this far tougher test, especially with Brum away up next. Won’t be the thrashing of last year, but we will have to be much sharper in front of goal to get more than a point. I’m going for a tense 1-1.

 

[EricSabin]

We like missing penalties against Mansfield this season, wonder if this one will come back to bite us as well

 

[Luke Imp]

Northampton are looking the better side here.

Lewis lucky to escape a red? Looked a bit of an orange challenge!

Seen them given in this day and age but a yellow is right.

 

[EricSabin]

Think this is Vickers dad on commentary tonight. Every time he breathes he’s getting praised.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Mansfield look poor. Can only get better for them 2nd half surely

 

[EricSabin]

Very scrappy end to the half but we look bright when we actually get it down which is proving difficult. Should be ahead but we do struggle to create clear cut chances which is proving the case at the minute.

 

[EricSabin]

Excellent this half from us, Mansfield not started. Deservedly ahead. Now for the difficult bit.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Are Mansfield the team that are gunna drop like a stone? There is always one..

 

[Bartonyellow]

For fucks sake.

 

[EnglishRed]

What's happened to Mansfield lately? Six defeats in a row now isn't it?

Just been unlucky in all those games.

 

[EricSabin]

Clung on. Get in. Hairy at the end but back to back wins feels massive there especially the way we’ve done it.

Nolan since his appointment: Played 9, W3 D3 L3.
1.3 PPG so decent nick atm. Up the fucking Wobbs

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Fair play cobblers, ya bastards

It's been one helluva hangover after winning the title at Edgeley Park
