Frankly Mr Shankly Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 2-1 us I've gone for. A nice start and two goals to the good before we have to bite nails down to the quick when they bundle one in with ten minutes to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League one forever Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 I know every game is 3 points. But psychologically this feels like a big game. A win would be a brilliant confidence booster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlemoor Lad Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 As the clock draws ever nearer, the nerves are starting to kick in. I'm seeing a win Saturday, can we grab all 3 points tonight that launches our season to new heights? Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should always respect a decent team coming to play us but not overly and we should definitely be looking to win. Looking to win. Yes. but probably won’t thats not doom and gloom.

I just don’t want us to be too cautious and defensive because that never seems to work for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpingJoshLundstram Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Don't want to overdo it but this is the most excited/nervous about a game for a while I know there will (hopefully) be much bigger ones to come but I really feel this is an important one. Lose it and we're 7 behind, lose it in an awful fashion and belief will be lowered. On the flip side, if we can go out and take the game to win, win by a couple of goals, the excitement will only rise. Big game!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookies have us as favourites if that's anything to go by, I thought it could go any of the three ways. For me I'm more bothered about how we play than the actual result, if we have a go and are brave I'm happy. Let's see if we finally have a team for the occasion and our big players turn up. Keep it tight early is crucial, FG have a tendency to start off quickly so we can't afford our usual sloppy start as an early goal for them could make it difficult. I wouldn't be averse to going with one upfront with Dolan in behind as we looked short in the middle at times on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We feel like there is progress but we don’t know how much yet - as in are we are top 6 team or are we a top 3 team? obvious answer is the former unless we address our issues upfront but we don’t know that yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One might think it’s a not a big difference as both are still an improvement. But the difference between 3rd and 6th is massive. 3rd demonstrates a consistency and gives you one home game then Wembley. 6th is a bit also ran in this division. We had two spells last last season were we won 2 games in 23. Yet we still could’ve made the playoffs with about 3 games to go. Plus it’s two away games than Wembley. I’d take 6th after the last two seasons, but it would be great if we could kick on into top 3. Tonight is an acid test for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Interesting line up that. Hobson coming in to make it a little more defensive down the right, but Dolan makes us more attacking centrally. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. A bit worried to see Hammond on the bench given his results so far this season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 My main concern is Hudson under the Tozer long throw but each to their own, we can't accuse Mellon of playing it safe that's for sure. I personally like the look of that team tonight it remains to be seen whether it's good enough. Notice Hogan hasn't made the bench tonight with Mellon favouring the attacking option from Khan. I'm confident tonight, under the lights it feels like a proper game, shame the crowd looks poor so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Interesting that Doidge is on the bench for FGR. I'm guessing that Hobson has been brought in to give us more height in the backline to counteract the long throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
