you wanting rid of another manager??

Not at all, Keith Hill is the only thing keeping this club fully out of the grave that Peter Swann has put it in

 

[AR27]

Paudie O’Connor has had his red overturned so at least that's one capable player in the back four tonight.

We’re already relegated. What’s the point of winning tonight?

Good. Thought it was harsh on the highlights.

Was not same said about Oldham only a short while ago.
They now have a better than even chance of surviving relegation.
With a fair wind same could happen to Scunthorpe.

We will only lose 2-0 now then, not the 3 or 4 I was expecting

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Come on Brovers.

Hope you beat us by a proper margin so we can get Kenny gone.

Everyone at the Os, from the fans to the players, looks totally deflated, abject even.

At least during our dark times there was some anger, some bite to the fan base. At the moment everyone is so bored there's nothing going on.

Once again we won't score and the ground will be silent.

Would prefer Kenny Rogers over Kenny Jackett.

Just the sort of game that we'd lose then.

We've got to win tonight really. Although we've gone 6 undefeated we've had a lot of draws (although we have played the top 3). Rochdale is another team I have no clue on where they are form wise. They seem very up and down, so I guess it's about who turns up for them. Hopefully we play like we are capable and one or two of the previously injured players start tonight.

 

[Fedora Dale]

Rochdale, form-wise?

The seven teams we have beaten in the League this season are currently 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 8th, 9th, 20th and 24th.

We could win or lose any game, but will most likely draw!

similar to us then;- 3rd, 6th, 7th, 8th, 12th, 21st and 22nd

I don’t think it’s must win but of the five games we have coming up all against sides mid to lower end of the table we need 9/10 points minimum.

That would set us up nicely for the final 12 matches.

As you know from last season though just need a mental run like we had end of the last season (25 points from 27) and all of a sudden play offs all but secure and a chance of autos. Big few games coming up this.

Tonight will be awkward I expect.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

The 'good' thing about us being shit in the 1st half of the season is that most will underestimate us in the 2nd half...

 

[LordJord]

Think we have a few more injuries up top which means we may start Danny Rose (I hope not). Would rather start with a fluid 3 of Pinnock, Hoskins and Lubala and just let them rotate. Going for a scrappy 2-0 win. Poor Scunny seem doomed, we barely concede recently and think we will score 1 from a set piece and then a scrappy goal to wrap it up.

 

[kieran_vale]

Pretty much what I’d have gone with this. Worrall has needed a rest.

Great to have our two best strikers start for the first time since early October (Sutton I think!).

Great to have Gibbons back as well, means Woz can rest.

 

[LordJord]

Due to injuries we are going to have a winger playing CM. Not sure why we dont go with one of the young lads instead but hope Brady has that right.

 

[Cas]

We've got 8 players out so I'm not expecting anything. 2-0 Harrogate.

Must be now you come to mention it. Proctor starting as well I suspect is going to make Joel Cooper more dangerous as now there is that focal point up top to bring him into it more. Cooper also won’t face a right back as good as Cogley was for Tranmere so tonight he has a chance to shine.

I’m pleased we are being smart with Worrall. That position is extremely demanding so rotating him and Gibbo is absolutely right. At some point the same will need to be done with Hussey too.

Cooper seems a Politic type, looked unplayable when he came on at Carlisle so is he better impact sub? Guess we will find out more tonight as he looks very talented and lively.

Just need Conlon back now, still feel we lack the creativity in the middle of the park without him or Taylor but with Procs at least we can get Hussey and Gibbo delivering crosses and have someone capable of scoring off them.

Be a good test this.

Going to be a tough job in terms of people not even being able make the subs bench once Conlon is back. Edmundson apart from the Northampton game has done well overall and he hasn’t even made the matchday squad this time. Given up on Taylor making it back this season, just been cursed since the start of pre-season.

 

[Bottega Don]

Well Northampton are definitely scoring from a long throw tonight

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Orients tactic is to foul our players all night. Will have one sent off at some point

 

[chipmunx]

wait, what... Bradford are winning 1-0??

 

[F!RTHY]

Usual service to resume shortly

Colchester 1 Pools 0??

 

[EricSabin]

Even start at Glanford Park

Even start at Glanford Park

from having seen recent Scunthorpe game highlights - they tire badly in the 2nd half of games... - or have done recently

 

[kieran_vale]

Not really much in the way of goalmouth action so far. Pitch is very bobbly though understandable given the recent weather.

Dale did have a penalty appeal but think the ref made the call not giving it.

We’re a little bit light tonight due to injuries and suspensions so the same may apply to us

 

[BRFC_Gas]

1-0 Gas. The best midfielder in the league scores. Slightly against the run of play as Orient had been growing into this game.
