Tuesday night games

[Big Bird]

I think Wellens is being a cheeky chappy and playing the 'fake news' card to fool your idiot manager.

Hope he is. Don't wanna see Twine starting. Few ex Swindon in their ranks. Turnbull, Williams and Smith. Potential to be a disastrous Tuesday night game.

Hopeful of a 2-1 win. Late Town End turnaround.

 

[Chris FGR]

Want to stick an acca on for tomorrow, who’s looking like the bankers?

Plymouth,Swindon, Portsmouth, Wolves, Exeter midweek acca for me. Mansfield possibly but if I include them they'll somehow fuck up.

 

[Agombar stool]

But if we're opening it up to other leagues how about.

Ajax, Middlesborough, Fleetwood, Peterborough, Mansfield, Exeter

APOEL are strong at home and Ajax lost some players. Not sure on that one, though they'll win the tie imo.

Yeah I don't know much about them but Ajax should be fancied against a Cypriot side. Maybe BTTS instead would make sense?

Yeah I'd go with that. Celtic, Espanyol and PSV are other ones I'd look at on Thursday. Also under 2.5 goals or even under 1.5 if your brave for our game at Vale looks a decent shout.

 

[F!RTHY]

He was talking about Macclesfield v Morecambe, very obvious to anyone with an ounce of intelligence, yet you try to turn it into a slur on Bradford.
Get a fucking grip.

You really ought to loosen up a little. I was only joking.

 

[EricSabin]

Ipswich, Macc and Plymouth is 8/1, might have a dip on that

 

[darren gregory]

Based on what I saw on Saturday, Plymouth are an absolute superb 11/10 to beat Salford.
Lumping on that. If I win I might even go to Grimsby with my winnings on Saturday

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Shouldn't this be on the General Game/Match thread?

You going Colchester Saturday? If so, look out.

 

[AdamStag]

I’d be hoping for a win against orient, if they lost 3-0 to Macclesfield they obviously can’t be Upto much.

That said, we’re mansfield and capable of all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff.

Good to see orient back up though, good club and decent fans - better than some hopeless tin potters like Salford.

Like Swansea last week, I'll be at Swindon tomorrow and Colchester Saturday.

Good side Macclesfield

 

[Crewelad87]

Good to see the Crewe lads in a positive frame of mind. Let's hope we can change that on Tuesday.

Nadesan was seen holding his ankle against Scunny but wasn't subbed for another half hour. It always seems a player coming back from an injury picks up another one. Favouring the old injury I suppose.

Young has 3rd game off due red at Carlisle. Cogley did well on Saturday so it seems a no brainer to go with the same team as Saturday's.

We seem to be shooting for fun at the moment but we are susceptible to crosses so I'll go for a 3-2 home win.

Another game I miss due to being a shift worker. I need to get a life.

Casey

Positive yes but not taking it for granted. I'm expecting a tough game. Lancashire who's looked decent at centre half so far is suspended, so vertran Nicky Hunt will come in, he's never let us down so I'm fine with that but yes only just back from injury himself which is a worry. Despite the Oldham and Middlesbrough wins I still feel the jury is out with regards to us playing away from home. Games Vs yourselves and Newport at the weekend will certainly test it.

 

[Gladders]

Games are on iFollow tonight for UK viewers I believe

 

[JJ1532]

Yep. Which should decimate all the attendances and take yet more money out the pockets of clubs. I get it benefits the exiles and away fans who can't attend, but for any team who is at home, it wrecks the home support numbers.

 

[LeonTheGreen]

It’s a sell out at Home Park tonight. Colchester was pretty much a sell out the other week too. Fantastic support. Grandstand will be finished by the end of the year, hopefully we can almost reach 20k for the Swindon and Exeter games.

Don't think it does really, most who go on Tuesday nights are ST holders anyway and as the EFL usually make the night games long haul trips you get lower away followings anyway.

Plus the clubs get a cut of the tenner.

 

[EricSabin]

I haven’t seen much of a drop in our home attendances when games are on Ifollow.

Fair play. How many is that?

Considering the biggest viewership on iFollow was just over 2k for Ipswich v Norwich on a Saturday lunchtime, I don't think the ifollow numbers are big enough to effect attendances. Plus clubs get 80% of the tenner it costs UK viewers to watch it, so they probably make money from people who watch it that were never likely to attend a Tuesday night game anyway.

 

[LeonTheGreen]

Against Scunthorpe at the end of last season we had 12500 although that was with one of the blocks closed and one half full. Hopefully we stick Salford in one block and it should then be close to 13k. Not bad for our first two games in L2 considering we averaged about 9/9.5k in L1.

 

[Indian Dan]

Salford in one seat, you mean.

 

[SVH]

Plymouth are great value. Other bankers for me are Swindon and Grimsby. Grimsby have kept 7 clean sheets from their last 10 home games.

Oh and Colchester are shite

 

[darren gregory]

I don't think I've actually seen a single comment from a Salford fan on any thread.
I'm usually wrong but unless I've blinked and missed one

Nice. I'm interested to see our attendance tonight. Reckon it should be higher than usual for a Tuesday night game.

There was one knocking around a bit before the season started but he seems to have vanished.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

We'll probably have about 300 at the County Ground tonight...

 

[Moss Rose Silkmen]

McMahon Masterclass incoming.

Be scared Morecambe, be very scared.
