Tuesday 4 March fixtures

[thewwfc]

A full set of midweek fixtures to chew on.

Less red-hot six pointer action than today’s fixtures, but Shrews v Brovers obviously draws the eye at the arse end of the table, with the Gas facing the tantalising prospect of dropping into the bottom four if they lose and Burton win.

Speaking of us v Burton, the Brewers can be boosted by the news that we lost two players today, 1st choice LB Harvie to injury and creative mid Simons to suspension after a straight red. We have a decent squad so we have replacements, but perhaps not as good.

It’s a big game for us as we’ve only taken 9 points from the last 18 - drop many more and we can kiss autos goodbye, though I certainly wasn’t expecting anything today v Brum.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Another massive one for us, home against the slumdogs.

Must win, particularly with other matches being a little less likely to be 'lose lose' for us. Shrews - Brovers aside.

 

[denzel ecfc]

No chance we are getting anything at Reading. Stick your house on it

 

[EnglishRed]

Massive game for us. Not expecting too much tbh as we seem to be unable to score at the moment.

 

[Hudders]

Massive game for us. Not expecting too much tbh as we seem to be unable to score at the moment.

Well we haven’t scored at home in our last five games ,so cue a 3-3 classic on Tuesday.

 

[Terriertown]

We like Hudders as posted above are an appalling team at home and genuinely just don’t create chances , the home support are pretty iannoyed with how the season as panned out , not because of league positioning more to do with how dull a team at home we are to watch. On top of this we have injuries galore never known anything as bad and I’ve watched my club for nearly 40 years .
I’ve seen your boys a few times this season , live once against town and a few times on the telly you don’t look anything special but a solid team , not seen you with your new additions which look very good on paper, personally think you will turn us over on Tuesday for the simple fact we really are rubbish at home. Not really bothered who goes up if it isn’t us with Birmingham but this division seems extremely poor this season not seen much from anyone bar Birmingham and I liked the look of Stockport . Bolton/ Wrexham / Wycombe / Charlton / Reading all just ok .

 

[Bartonyellow]

Wycombe away.
1-0 defeat I think.
We seem to have some Niggly injuries that is keeping key players out, and might not be back Tuesday.
And vancooten is back from suspension and he is shite so that is that.

 

[AdamStag]

After todays draw at burton (which half feels like a loss) we’ve wigan at home.

This winless run started with a loss at to wigan in the cup, so well hopefully it’ll end too.

We’ve wigan home before stevenage and exeter away in the next 3 - all are winnable, it’s just whether we can (though i totally appreciate all 3 will rightfully think the same back)

 

[HutchECFC]

Reading (a)
4-0 loss. Move on to the next one.

 

[Luke Imp]

Skubala has put pressure on himself by throwing the Barnsley game with the Crawley one in mind, so if he loses this, he'll be at a very high risk of getting the boot. Even with a win, I'm not sure he'll be here next season anyway but I think the Board would rather see more of the season out before having to make a decision.

Hardly a surprise that we looked better yesterday when we brought players on who should have started the game.

We'll have an issue at CB because of the O'Connor suspension and Montsma so it'll either be Darikwa at CB or Hamer who only got some minutes under his belt yesterday after being out since October time. Clucas was ill before the game so he might not be available either.

 

[AmberAndy]

Real chance for us to pull ourselves back into the fight after two consecutive wins, but games against the Chavs are always difficult feisty affairs. We have striking options again now big Dan is fit (ish) again so that might just prove decisive, but this will be a bundle of nerves type game and could go either way.

 

[dan_wrexhamafc]

Stockport and Wycombe with very winnable games on paper but this time of year everybody's scrapping for important points. Think they'll both pick up a win though.
We need a win but can't see it happening. Score draw

 

[ForzaCounty]

Cambridge last week should have been the winnablest game ever, nobody's going to take anything for granted.

It should and would have been until Neil Harris was appointed.

 

[DaveBirm1875]

Trotters away - about as tough as it gets currently, Schuey has got them moving on up, would take a draw for sure, keep things ticking along. Hopefully a few of the walking wounded are on the way back too.

 

[The Terminator]

Will be a tricky trip to Rotherham who won at the weekend, our goal keeper Josh Keeley is a bit out of form and has been at fault for a few goals recently. Only 20 so a dip in form not a suprise, sadly we don't have any replacement to take him out of the firing line for a game or two.

Our last midweek game for a month, I think ourselves, Wrexham and Birmingham have been non stop for weeks fixture wise, we've got 5 CBs and even 3 of those have been injured in recent weeks.

Wellens will make changes for this after a below average performance on Saturday. Surely its time to play Dan Agyei and Randell Williams in the same team alongside Kelman.

I couldn't make a guess how this game will go, we have been so up and down at home this season.

We were very good against Bolton, Charlton, Reading, Northampton and to an extent Huddersfield, winning all of them reasonably comfortably.

However we have been poor at times recently, particularly against Shrewsbury and Barnsley.

We have some good players for this level but even this far into the season, they don't seem to have enough understanding of each others game and we rely too much on individuals rather than being a team.

We need 3 wins to be safe and start looking towards next season but I will be pleasantly surprised if this is one of them.

 

[Bobbin']

Another game against another play-off rival in Barnsley.

I just hope we win otherwise I’m going to feel really silly enjoying two stoppage time goals to win on Saturday.

 

[folletto]

Terry Taylor masterclass at Sixfields incoming

 

[Stocky]

Wrexham fans gassing us up saying we're going to catch them.

They know exactly what they're doing. Straight from the playbook, a playbook I practically wrote.

Northampton are a fantastic side down at Sixfields. A point would be a ludicrously good result.

 

[Casey]

We will either play well and lose or play badly and lose. Either way it's getting depressing now.

Murphy will be suspended after the sending off so Swan or Showuni will fail to score and our usual defensive masterclass will let in a couple.

Casey

 

[Gassy]

Ah another away game, that’s a guaranteed loss then

 

[dannylad01]

Ah another away game, that’s a guaranteed loss then

Not so sure about that, but probably in the must win category for us. Marquis set to be suspended, so not sure what Ainsworth will go with as Oliver can barely last 30 minutes ATM. Lloyd up top by himself possibly

Youll catch us, and Wycombe

 

[EricSabin]

We seem to still be battling our injury crisis so it’ll be interesting to see how we shape up. Can’t see us winning this one, 0-3.

 

[thewwfc]

This is like the reverse trash talk forum, surely everyone can’t all lose at once, but you wouldn’t know it from here…

 

[Gassy]

If you’re physical then you’ll win, we just can’t handle it. We always concede from set pieces too and the team has a real lack of fight

 

[Conker]

Suppose it depends on the reaction from the Wigan players post manager sacking, they were very impressive at their gaff earlier in the season but we beat them 2-1 yet they did us in the FA Cup at the mill.

At least no Aasguard, but they’ve got some real quality still in that squad, I don’t really get why they are not in the top 10. Impresses me every time I’ve watched em.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

We are a shambles from set pieces. The trouble is we seem to give away 10+ per game.
Id be treating saving a corner as a goal line clearance

 

[Lamby]

Don't forget that you can't celebrate anything tonight
