Paddy Madden is going to score today that’s a guarantee.

He’s got 5 goals already in the league and always scores against us. I hope it does bite me in the arse and he doesn’t score.

Demi is not match fit ready, Blackman is not match fit ready; so obviously imo Elvis and Ralph play.
Whoever plays midfield it will be weak but Hyem adds bite - until he gets a yellow, then he may as well be taken off.
With the poor midfield we need goals so Cox, Goodship and Hump start.
Hutch takes good set pieces and is not a quitter so he is a strong shout to start.
Kiernon and Lennon at centre backs.

I thought the front 3 were our weakest link v Rochdale. Just added pressure to further strung out midfield 3.

Seemed like the 6 of them never interchanged once.

Sky bet have Fleetwood at 8/11 to win today which is expected as how poor we are but I had a small bet on us to win both teams to score at 9/1 I can't see us keeping a clean sheet but just hoping now Bond is gone we can get the win

 

[rigsby]

Seems a good shout at 9/1. Still its not that long ago that we had the caretaking duo of Rick and Kev......Don't think we had a shot on goal that day.

Just hope if it really is not to much bother for the lads, could they at least try and put a shift in.

I think 9/1 is decent.If we win cant see it being to nil.I agree players need to put in a shift and if we lose at least make it competitive.Leicester to win at average Manchester United side with injuries worth a fiver

 

[OldBlueLady]

I don't know if there are any wide players in the u23s or youths like Terrell Egbri worth considering on the bench.

Eren Kinali looks to me to have more promise, Egbri is exciting to watch, but Kinali is a more consumate player.

You can get 11/1 now as you say can't see it being to nil.

So buoyed am I with the new found optimism around the board and Uncle Ron's sabre rattling speech that I have just had a tickle at 4-1 for us to win today.
