Tuesday 25 February fixtures

[thewwfc]

A few teams playing catch-up on Tuesday night.

Hoping for Orient to knacker Brum out as much as possible given that we play the latter on Saturday.

Wigan are absolutely horrendous to watch, but are solid defensively, so I'm hoping they can do to Hudds what they did to us and just slow everything down for the bore draw.

Cobblers have plenty to play for against an indifferent Barnsley side, and will want to keep some daylight between themselves and the drop spots.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Plenty of sending off at Sixfields on Tuesday please.

Free hit for us against Barnsley. We postponed the original fixture in Jan when we had 15 injured and Barnsley had won 23 on the spin or something silly and now we’re in a bit better nick and Barnsley have dropped off.

Would take a point but would like us to have a go at Barnsley.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Bloody free hits.

Birmingham and Wigan wins would do nicely.

A gruelling game at St Andrews that leaves the away team absolutely shattered ideally

Dont see why we cant get at least a point as we seem to be coming into some semblance of form (Wrexham aside) and have a few bodies back. I wish we could Roberts and Eaves fit also then I would like our chances a lot more. Take a point and then onto Exeter which is a massive game.

Have you seen Saturdays fixture list? It’s a day of 6 pointers

 

[The Terminator]

Last of the 3 deadly away fixtures handed to us to avoid an end of season pile up.

Even though we strengthened in January, the recent run has pushed our squad - we only had one fit centre half by the end of the game Saturday and it was partly down to why we lost against Bolton. Jack Simpson is expected to be back though, the thought of Jayden Sweeney at centre half away at Birmingham is a nightmare waiting to happening to happen.

Darren Pratley will likely start and maybe Dan Agyei too.

If we get anything it will be a bonus, our first visit to St Andrew’s in 30 years.

Whilst you are busting a gut against Barnsley, we are preparing for your game by having a training camp in La Manga.
I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Is it just me or is Exeter having a mid season trip to The Sleeve a sign the games gone?!

 

[thewwfc]

It's these extravagant big-time Charlie clubs. Bloody £x£ter.

 

[Strawberry_Jam]

and they say they are a club of the people. unbelievable.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Suggests it was funded by the cup run. On paper a good idea for bonding as they don't seem to know each other at the moment, but you know what's going to happen if we don't win on Saturday..

I don’t think it’s a bad idea. Won once in 2025 in the league, probably all a bit downbeat and stale, could be a bit of a master stroke to go and get a bit of sun, train and have a laugh. I wouldn’t be against it if it was us.

Nolan confirmed Roberts fit, and with Guinness Walker back things are slowly looking up.

 

[Lamby]

A 7-0 Brum win will help us go 6th

 

[EnglishRed]

Why is the Birmingham game not on TV?

 

[folletto]

Really harsh red card for Orient there, although good news that Currie will be banned against us.

 

[Lamby]

Why is the Birmingham game not on TV?

It is on Sky Sports +

 

[Bobbin']

Don’t think it is.

 

[Lamby]

Probably sold the rights to it to CBS or something

 

[EnglishRed]

No it's not.

Sky must have felt Northampton v Barnsley was the bigger draw.

 

[folletto]

If the game was originally on a Saturday, the club can turn down having it shown on Sky Sports + on a Tuesday which Birmingham have done. I’m guessing they’re hoping enough people use a VPN to pay for it in their streaming service

 

[EricSabin]

Unlucky to be behind against Barnsley I think. Had the better chances but a cracking strike from Keillor-Dunn nudged them ahead. Won’t score second half so all done.

 

[BogDaddyO]

Harshest red you'll ever see, somehow 0-0 at the half but it's one way traffic.
Birmingham obviously good for this level but that red killed the game, a pity, hate playing vs 12 men.

 

[Psycho Mouse]

I’m the wrong end of the ground to see whether it was a red or not but the amount of abuse Iwata has gotten from some absolute cloggers in this league we’re about due one so feck em.

The two hundred penalties not enough compensation?

Spending more time in the opposition box means you’re more likely to be fouled. HTH.
