Matchday Fred

The EFL needs to be having words with Ferguson for riding roughshod over the leagues integrity. He should be threatened with a 20 point deduction if it happens again. Suspect Ferguson would rather play Barnsley than form horse Lincoln. Assuming we finish in second I’d like to see Bolton win the playoffs.

Agent Evatt your work is done. We go flat out for the win on Saturday with NML, Collins and Barks at the top, a combination that has worked best on average throughout the season. I don’t like 3 at the back but it may actually suit our full backs better allowing them to get forward, and Bradley has turned into a goal machine from set pieces. We get the win and then can enjoy the Carlisle game without the sphincter twitching like a rabbits nose.

Two more wins please. Should be ok with new goal machine Bradley finally coming good. Carlisle been playing with gay abandon since being relegated, it will be their cup final. But first replay all those away wins to remind yourselves how you did it. We March on Cambridge. Good win for Brewers also.

Bottlejobs. With a chance to almost seal autos this lot gives another gutless performance after a week off. No shots on target against a side that played itself out on Sunday. No leadership on or off the field, just some s*** dad jokes. The coaches take responsibility for zero learning after the Northampton game.

In my view if we win this one, we are up.

Brave performance. That’s three time this season we’ve been ahead against them and been pegged back. We’d be home and hosed by now if we’d hung onto just some of those winning positions. . But we must now get something at Wycombe, and if we play with the same heart then no reason why we won’t.

What was left full-back Sibley doing on the right-wing just before the goal ? That’s some version of ‘total’ football.

Key now is keeping NML fit

Apart from 3 pts and other results …. Wash got 70 mins Collins got 20 mins No further injuries CBT was decent Barkhuizen must be close to a return Gayle is now one week closer to a return Not sure about Bird, maybe he’s flown away 90 pts gets us up

Warne puts his personal relationships with senior players before the needs of the team. He made Hourihane captain which makes not playing him difficult. And he made Bradley his big money signing when what we actually needed was a striker. He feels compelled to play Bradley and moved away from a successful 433 to accommodate him.

Guessing Hourihane us jogging through thus one as usual, leading by example.

Er no, that’s the point. Star January signing not seen yet, but PW must have seen him before signing him, and they billed him as someone who can improve the first X1.

Not sure why CBT still cannot get a starting role. Hourihane and Waghorn really have to front up today.

Tempted to play Hourihane for this one. Need to stay positive and go for goal. His left boot may get the goal, he has been rested, and I don’t think we are necessarily playing against the most high intensity midfield.

And we are likely to be leading with Waghorn or Washington. Hot money on a 0-0 unless Sibbers can conjure another winner. Any news on Collins ? Presumably not yet back in training.
