General Matchday Thread

[SF_]

Quietly confident about our trip to Boro which makes me wary.

Would be nice if Stoke can keep up their ok form and get something at Derby, a Forest - Villa draw would be nice too.

Can't see Bristol City fucking up against Ipswich but they do love a 1-1 lately.

I am absolutely sick to death of losing to Leeds. Fuck off to the Premier League and never come back.

In the last 20 years we’ve only lost to Leeds once, pretty impressive on our part really.

Impressive, especially as you must have played them at least twice in last 20 years.

Nah just the once.

 

[Muzzle]

Owls tonight, hoping for a draw (That's as much optimism as you are going to get)

 

[blademan89]

Not quite sure how we won that, some incredible defending from us, one of the best defensive displays I've ever seen from us, brentford looked a very good side even though we had 10 men. Looked a pen and madine you're a fucking bellend, you're teammates have got you out the shit big time there. 6 clean sheets on the bounce after the villa disaster, 8 home wins on the bounce of which the last 7 all been clean sheets, Onto Leeds on Saturday, not much riding on that one. Utb

Watched some of that Sheff Utd game, Brentford were all over them but I think it showed up their lack of plan B a little. Great to watch at times but I think that was a game they needed some physicality in the box.

 

[QPR_Matt]

I read that Rotherham haven't won a game away from home this evening. Very tempting to stick a tenner on it and get £46 back. I am really not looking forward to this one. The optimism of being 2 points off of play offs and playing well has well and truly gone.

 

[SF_]

Not loving tonight's team, two left backs on the pitch with a right back sat on the bench.

Still no Clarke, Potts, Barkhuizen, Robinson & Moult.

Think we should have moved Maguire out wide and played Stockley.

 

[PrestonCha]

Eieieio....

 

[Atavistic]

Another three points, but we looked very sloppy and tired in that second half. Rotation is definitely needed to get us through Saturday, although the focus is going to be more on that big game between Leeds and Sheffield United in all honesty.

 

[SF_]

Unreal turn around, couldn't see us remotely threatening them until the red card.

Great hit by Gally to capitalise on it, we were quality after that, can't be played down how bad we actually were in the first half though.

Barker has to start against Birmingham, Rafferty looked decent.

Think Stockley could become a cult hero, nicked the winner, won everything that came his way and even defended well.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuge result. 6th away win in a row.

 

[SF_]

100th career goal for Paul Gallagher, what a man.

 

[SF_]

Potts should be back for Birmingham on Saturday, timely considering Browne went off injured. Can't see DJ or Gally being dropped to accommodate Barker, so think Fisher and Potts will be the only changes, unless Stockley gets a game.

Rudd
Fisher, Storey, Davies, Hughes
Pearson, Johnson
Nmecha, Potts, Gallagher
Maguire​

 

[QPR_Matt]

That, was fucking terrible. Rotherham were shit and clear to see why they hadn't won in so long away from home. Yet they still played better than us and we left the pitch to a chorus of boos. Well, from the 12 fans that were left in the ground.

Did they play for long throws?

 

[QPR_Matt]

I think that was our tactic yet we have never scored from one. Such a low quality game from the pair of us but they deserved their win.

Hope you stuck that £10 on them

 

[QPR_Matt]

Hope you stuck that £10 on them

I actually did. Would have got £46 but cashed out 1 minute before we scored. Got £36 instead. Doesn't help make it any less tragic though.

 

[Muzzle]

If don't win today (and if we are still here next week), we are down. If we win, we could still be down, but would help push Wigan towards the drop as well

 

[blademan89]

Slightly big game at elland road nearly upon us, come on blades.

 

[Craig]

Good start.

 

[JJH]

Hahaha fucking have it, top bloke Henderson

 

[blademan89]

Fucking superb

 

[PrestonCha]

Fucking get in.

94th minute winner, after playing like absolute dogshit for the entire game. We missed Gallagher, Barky and Browne badly

International break has come at a good time too. Chance to get Gallagher, Browne, Robinson, Hughes, Potts, Moult and Barkhuizen all fit and ready for the final big push.

 

[SF_]

Place went mental with that one, loved it.

Get out jail free card, an absolutely massive few days for us, 6pts with us only playing well for about half an hour.

9 points from 3 games and not played well once, sign of a team doing well that.

 

[Atavistic]

Sounds like Rotherham really made us work for it, but that's our 6th win in a row to take us into the international break. Hopefully some of our players get a deserved break after playing so many games in a row (unchanged XI for all of those wins, I believe), and then we can go into the game against Middlesbrough fresh and fully fit.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Three more injuries to contend with but a professional job done today.

Still no chance of top six

 

[SF_]

What a mind numbing weekend on the football front.

I watched an hour of Gibraltar v Ireland FFS.
