Tuesday's Trip to Tranmere

[Jez]

So moving swiftly on from the collapse of the fortress reebok, we now have a midweek game in the competition where our win record is 100% as opposed to 0%.

Predictions on this one? It'll be a tough game, that's no doubt, but Tranmere are in worse form than we are in the league. They somehow lost 5-0 at home to Peterborough this weekend so that's gotta inspire some hope, not like Peterborough would ever put 5 past us.

Hopefully we'll see more of Odelusi too and if he keeps us the form from the last game then he'll be forcing dougie to consider him in the league (since apparently nobody apart from Darren Pratley knows how to score there at the minute). Would make sense for Moritz to get his first start here too.

2-0 win, Hall and Pratley

We'll probably have enough to go through without undue stress. Doubt the team will give much clue to how we'll fare next weekend though.

Play the best team available in the shape we will play against Blackburn if possible. Hopefully score a bag full and give the lads and mainly the strikers some confidence!

I want a win. We need a win. I expect a win.

We'll lose.

This for me, too.

Me too. However big question over what that is!

[Lord Kangana]

Send Lawrie ahead with the teamsheet, get the players changed at the Bok, arrive at 5 to kick off, do 'em one-nil, get the team back on the bus at full time, shower at the Bok. F*ck 'em.

Let's get this bloody season kick-started FFS.

And did I mention f*ck 'em?

This is tonight, people.

Anyone venturing over?

I'm not, but it's £19 ont' gate if anyone is.

We could choose to change:

Lonergan; Mears, Mills, Bolger, Ream; Gregus, Vela; Odelusi, Moritz, Hall; Cravies

(assuming Gregus is fit - he didn't play in the last Development game, but Vela did)

However, while it would be nice to get to a point where we can give the young 'uns a run-out - and some should be on the bench in case we get ourselves in a position to do so - we should probably concentrate on those senior players who need game-time: Mears, Mills, maybe Ream. There's an argument for trying Baptiste at centre-back, too. Tierney might have to play through shortage of alternatives, unless we further Ream's rehabilitation as a utility man (and yes, I'm aware that he's played badly in the left-back zone before, but he also struggled in defensive midfield when Coyle picked him there so it might be worth another try).

Further forward, I'd start with Beckford, who needs a goal to get his confidence. And I'd have Moritz and Hall behind him, to push their claim for a starting place in the league. Odelusi deserves another go after Shrewsbury but other than that, it's not far off what I could be our first-choice front four by late September: Hall, Moritz and Eagles feeding front-runner Beckford.

Ream and Pratley behind those four, and we should have enough to beat Tranmere. Should, mind you. Don't put it past those party-poopers.

Someone just texted me to say they have heard Craig Davies is seriously injured from the knock he took on Saturday. Anyone heard anything?

Guess we will find out if he is in the squad tonight.

I honestly don't remember him taking a knock.

Late on Bruce he was hobbling around. Which I think is partly why Zat was thrown up.

I heard the same rumour but not from a reputable source. 8 weeks so I am told but no idea what the injury was. Not sure I believe it, time will tell.

Maybe this is the opportunity big Tom Eaves needs for his breakthrough.

Or perhaps DF will be forced to play Beckford tonight, JB scores a hat-trick, and we're off...

Think I remember it now. Wasn't it either Henry or Onuoha that flattened him from behind on the halfway line?

Yep. Late on, think it was Onouha.. Rumour going round is that he has a relatively serious injury of some unspecified sort.

We will see if he's in the squad tonight.

Wouldn't surprise me. It's not like anyone is handing out any BWFC luck by the looks of things.
