How confident are you?
supremely confident to the point of near-certainty (that we won't win 6-0)
I confidently predict that your prediction is confident, but wrong. :D

This is a big game today! Need the 3 points to start climbing that table.

Rang a local pub to ask if the game was on. A lady answered and went to check with the landlord. I heard, in shock, as if I'd pissed on his cat: "BOWTUN!?" Turns out we'll be on after that rugby match. Big game, this!

Off the bottom before we even start if things don't change. And similarly a win takes us out of the bottom three assuming results remain the same.

Could be a very good day this.

Aye, off the bottom for now - two goals clear of Rotherham. A win would take us 20th. A 4-0 win would take us 19th.

Four changes: Dervite in for the suspended Prince, Clayton in for the injured Mavies, Spearing back through the revolving door for Danns, Ameobi in for Madine. Derik continues at right-back (presumably).

Sky going into hyperbole mode with a full five minutes of pre-match buildup. (After a repeat of a game from five managers and a lifetime ago.)

He's better than Jedinak, but he ain't no Twardzik.

Naw, Lenny did say in the week that "he needs to get up to a speed a bit". I'm sure he'll be sat in the stands, watching, perhaps through his crooked fingers.

OK, I'm losing the plot, I know this, but... has Twardzik actually done owt yet?

It's 5am and for some reason I'm still awake. I'll watch a little.

@OfficialBWFC: #BWFC have lined up in a diamond formation with @MaxJClayton operating behind Shola Ameobi and @Feens11 in attack.

I'd prefer to have Feeney and Clayton wide, supporting Ameobi. Not sure about the diamond personally.

Yeah we look narrow, and they look more up for it too more worryingly.

Even redder than that.

So we get them given against us, but not for us.

Ref clearly bottled it. Clear as day once the linesman gave the foul. He's in on goal.
