Re: A Roving, A Roving. Away to Bristol, Tues Mar 11th 19-45

Morley, Matete, Randall to start tomorrow?

Morley does seem a bit of a mainstay at the mo.. Been great since he came back. Wonders what a loan can do for a player, as already said countless times elsewhere.

Re: Living La Vida Loca..Away to Burton on Toast, Sat 8th March 3-0'clock

Bring on Stockport. A real test, but what an opportunity to close the gap and cement our place in the top 6 I hope the gap doesn't close, cos if we win tomorrow night at Bristol (when Stockport don't play) we'll be in front of County when we host them... Unless you mean the gap to the top three... ...

Re: Living La Vida Loca..Away to Burton on Toast, Sat 8th March 3-0'clock

Great to see all 3 starting centre mids getting goal contributions. First a little fortuitous, but a fantastic finish and what a way to win it by Sheehan when we're up against it and need a moment of brilliance. Excellent first half performance. Total control and should have been a couple up Great d...

Re: Living La Vida Loca..Away to Burton on Toast, Sat 8th March

JDB has missed the last couple of games.

On Saturday, Bowyer said "He had a kick or something, I thought he'd be fine, but he wasn't"
On Tuesday, Bowyer said "He phoned in, told us he was sick"

Maybe he wanted to ensure his fitness for this weekend, or maybe he was just injured... Then sick...

Re: Playing a Blinder. At home to the Peakies, Tues Mar 4th 19-45.

There was no mumbling. More shrieking!! When I watch it back I'm not entirely sure he hit it perfectly or the keeper covered himself in glory either, but they all count and a goal was the least he deserved for the shift he put in last night. I reckon he is quickly becoming a fans favourite - he's s...

Re: Playing a Blinder. At home to the Peakies, Tues Mar 4th 19-45.

Mint that. Hardly touched them for half an hour, before realising that we could play a higher line without suffering in behind. Suffocated them after that and completely took control. When you consider we had some big players not in the line-up, it's looking very promising for the run-in. Easy to sa...

Re: No welcome in the Hillsides. Away to Wrexham Sat 1 March 12-30.

Iredale was usually singled out for being incapable of stopping crosses coming in and wasn;t a particularly good ball player for us. Defended the back post ok, but was just average. Nothing more, nothing less. As always though, players who leave are always better than players that stay Players we do...

Time for McAtee to show us he can be a 9 - He has the physique, he can link the play and can finish - I'd like to see how he does staying between the posts

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....

I would have CMG down as a winger? Play him where Schon or Tutu are? That for me is his role. To a tee. And I think he might possess greater end product than the others mentioned. But I think he will only be introduced slowly anyway. I agree, which is why I think Schumacher will see him ahead of Sc...

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....

I think CMG is more likely to play in Schumachers system than Schon to be honest. I'm a big fan of Schon. I like his endavour, his directness and he looks a threat, but he's got very little end product for the positions he finds himself in. That's something he needs to improve on Again, agreed. My ...

I'm confident we can win this. Regardless of their Wednesday night fixture. We need to be more clinical of course

Re: Better "Late on" than never. A visit from the Orient. Sat 22 Feb 3-0'clock.

He could go in lots of different ways, which is great - keeps the oppo on their toes and he's also shown he'll tweak or even batch-change (four subs!) if he sees fit. I just have a feeling we'll go 4-2-3-1 again here, with Collins off McAtee. He's also talked about a fast start. I'm inclined to agr...

Pratley suspended for this. Got a second yellow on Tuesday night for a tug on a striker and was subsequently sent off

Despite being their captain, I'm not sure he'd have definitely played this Saturday having played the previous Tuesday, but he would most certainly have been in their 18 man squad
