Tuesday 11 February fixtures

[thewwfc]

Just over half the teams in the league are in action this Tuesday:

Don’t fancy Cambridge’s chances much but maybe they see it as a free hit.

Sticking with the relegation dogfight, will be interesting to see if Shrews can keep up recent form against an inconsistent Reading side.

 

[dan_wrexhamafc]

Orient, Stockport and Charlton to continue their promotion push with wins.

Our squad is going to be stretched with 5 games in 14 days (including last Saturday), tough games at that, with Reading on Tuesday being followed by home games against Bolton, Huddersfield and Stevenage.

don't know what is a good result here. Would probably take a draw and a clean bill of health from the squad

 

[UTFD]

We've managed to get through a really tough 6 weeks of fixtures still in touch of the play offs. The fixtures on paper change now and minus Birmingham and Wrexham, we've got a fantastic run of games over the next few months. With injured players returning and our only loss being Sam Smith I think (and hope!) we'll kick on and make 6th our own.

We need to take 6 from the two home games this week.

It has been pencilled in as a free hit given how long ago it was meant to be played, just didn't realise there would be an almost full schedule with some other of the candidates involved.

Ah well. May as well just beat them then I guess!

No need to worry about our game. We're away from home and utter wank to boot. You'll be fine.

Our home form hasn't been quite the same under Hunt! We've had two shockers against Blackpool and Stockport. Throw in Sam Smith and Parky returning plus our physical weakness at full back and I think we'll struggle!

 

[E10rifle]

After the Lord Mayor’s show for us against a flailing Mansfield. All set up for a classic shithouse away win.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Here’s hoping for a Peterborough and gas defeat to give us a lifeline.

Well you’ll be playing the worst team on current form. I would happily take a Charlton away performance that stopped our last bad run, solid but unspectacular and hopefully a point but a comfortable Orient victory is definitely most likely.

Orient currently a decent top 10 side, a spot we occupied for half the season it just seems to have burned out.

 

[The Terminator]

Our squad has taken the plaudits after Saturdays fighting performance, but now its back to the day job.

We will make changes as 3 players were cup tied on Saturday and Dilan Markandy didn't get on as Wellens gave the players who got us the chance to play Man City the chances to play them on Saturday. Dan Agyei was back on the bench and we will need him to stay fit for the run in.

We'll see how well this squad is going over the next month, after 2 home games this week we now have Wrexham, Bolton & Birmingham away the week after - which is a huge, huge ask.

Watched Mansfields game on Friday and thought they was unlucky in the end not to nick a point.

 

[EricSabin]

The Shrews could do with a bloody nose here

Wish they'd get relegated with 0 points but here we are

 

[folletto]

Peterborough are a bogey team for us (no wins in 12), so if we beat them I may start believing

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

You beat them, and we'll beat Birmingham. Fair trade?

 

[denzel ecfc]

Really hope I'm not getting out of the ground tonight to hear we are in 20th.

 

[Conker]

Honestly I think that’s comfortably our worst starting line up this season, be very stagsy to play well now I’ve said that.

Gregory not in the squad, Evans only on the bench, entire second string defence, we are playing a left back that’s not even been registered for the entire season, literal first appearance, and Maris bizarrely dropped.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

We have learned our lesson not to rely on an ageing striker this season too, although ironically he starts tonight as one of the few fit ones left

Gregory picked up a knee issue had an injection a few months back before proper work needed in the summer was the plan, earlier in the season before that he was doing 90 minutes easier than anyone else and being a striker for Clough means exceptional work rate.

Unfortunately he probably got rushed back a bit due to him and Deji being our best players, paying the price for it now.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

We've gone for a "rest em for the weekend" line up, which bodes well.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Hahaha peak Cambridge this year tonight, Danny Andrew injured during the warm up.

Given how things have been this season, I imagine that means we'll be at his funeral next week!

 

[Conker]

1-0 down already, poor defending from a corner. Missing Deji and Cargill big time.

 

[Conker]

Yeah we are getting battered tonight, defence isn’t up for it conceded two soft goals and Orient haven’t even got started yet.

If they want it Orient could score 5/6 here. Clough is making 2 subs and we ain’t hit half a hour yet!

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Akinde Stansfield (Pen)

 

[Arbury]

We’ve got Darren drysdale as ref tonight who’s given Birmingham absolutely every fucking decision including a soft as shit pen, we’ve been utter shit and don’t deserve anything but we’ll ignore that part.

UIE

 

[Master D]

Stansfield got his pen already has he?

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Dirty bunch this Stockport lot. Ref letting them get away with it too

 

[EricSabin]

Looks like a very thin crowd at Leyton Orient tonight

 

[BogDaddyO]

Looks like a very thin crowd at Leyton Orient tonight

We've not had a single penalty in the league this season so they've given up.

 

[Casey]

Stevenage centre mud does four fouls on the trot. Nothing. Our player makes his first foul of the night. Booked

Got to say the Stevenage keeper ain't too bad. One flying save but it's the quickness off the line that catches the eye.

0-0 here...if one side wasn't Crawley I'd say this could go either way.
