Ram a lamb a ding dong

Looking forward to it

I like Barks as a player and a person. Very honest lad. Earnt himself an extension imo.

Going up we need to retain leaders so Collo and Sonny are a priority. Its not all about the 11 that go out on the pitch.

In last year of contract. I reckon £600k would secure him 

For me 8pts seals the deal.

Bolton will get no more than 13 from 18

PBoro no more than 16 from 21. Probably get less as they still have 8 games to play

Barnsley nah

We've better goal difference so 88 pts may be enough

Just asking on behalf of the kids. 

What time should we be at the ground for to see the players arrive?

Desperate to get some of the players for photos/ signatures

TIA

Phew!

I've just listened back to the interview on Saturday. No mention of Adams.

Why bother making something up??? To get attention maybe?

I haven't a clue where the Adams issue was mentioned. 

I have heard absolutely nothing on Adams beiing injured

The name of this thread 😂 second in the league with highest goal difference and second highest scorers- if you can’t find some positives in that, then I dread to think what you’re like down the pub 

Fair point 

Woken up hoping I dreamt yesterday. Realised quickly I hadnt

Tbf the recruitment will be for younger players.

Unfortunately we have only been able to sign older players. We have been v unfortunate with some of the injuries though (Rooney, Embleton, Fornah, Bird, Nyambe, Thompson). These are all young guys who just got freak injuries.

It's still possible but it needs players to step up.

I have to admit that the defeat today along with news on NML and Fozz has left me lower than a snakes belly.

We are down to the bare bones and confidence will be low going in to the next match.

We are all hoping that Collins will make a miracle return and NML has nothing more than a dead leg. Even then the rest of the team is a patchwork quilt. 

What a difference 2 matches makes as we had a strong front 3 going into the Bolton match.

In terms of anything positive:

CBT must start and must produce. This is his chance and he must take it.

Has to be a 4-3-3

If Collo isn't ready then go with Washington. Waggy is good to bring off the bench but not start.

Midfield 3 of Ebu, Smith and Thompson

Back 4 with Elder and Ward.

Front 3 to incl Wilson.

Oh, and plenty of flags and noise...

With the injury situation we are again underdogs so expect a cauldron of noise next week.

Expect them to absolutely tear Blackpool to shreds

Aging players. No.suprise tbf

Absolutely gutted. Performance terrible, lacked all penatrasion and the injuries keep piling up.

I had a gut feel that without Barks we would struggle as he offers a cutting edge against mid table teams. 

Losing NML is the very worst news. Let's just offer positive vibes its an impact and not a pull.

Injury wise, for me, it's down to aging players but bloody hell we can't take much more of this.

I fully expect next week a 4-3-3 with CBT, Washington and Waggy up front to start with Collo on the bench.

Means we will have to run 2 makeshift fullbacks which is a concern. Feel for for Ebu as he has been immense but he should have buried that chance and his confidence drained away.

Still in our hands but only by a slither

Managaed to snaffle Wycombe tickets. Well pleased 

I agree that as a sub he is perfect. Give him 30 mins and he can get some joy down the flanks 

Still clearly in out hands. 6pts this week and we will be in great shape

I've had a look at Boltons remaining fixtures and it makes very pleasant reading. Seven of the next 10 games are away and they play all the top 7 before the end of the season. Throw in Exeter and Wigan away, and that is a grim set of fixtures.

Second place really is there for the taking 

They were a decent, well drilled outfit and you can see why they are up there.

I thought we battled hard and tried to get the ball on the ground.

We obviously were lacking a focal so it was always going to be difficult.

Bradley was absolutely Head and shoulders MOTM. That one bit of skill second half was worth the admission price alone.

Hats off to the management team for making the necessary tweaks as they worked.

The atmosphere second half was the best since relegation. Everyone knew the team were up against it and came together as one.

Knowing what sort of character Collins is, he'll be back asap

If that is the case then Collins is defo out

Got to admit that we are besieged with bad luck up top.

We cant even get young laddo back from his loan.

Expect a front 3 on Saturday to be 

NML

Probably Somny up top
