DesertRam Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 it'll be the exact same team to start, can't change a winning team etc. Barks, Hourihane and Waggy on at 60 Archied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Just throwing this in as I can’t see it’s been mentioned: Cheltenham might be on a dismal run but their only point so far this season came at… …Portsmouth (0-0 draw, obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's usually on the bench, though... impossible to drop him from the starting XI as he's not in it. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Let's face it, we have form with allowing teams that have been on a winless run to batter us, so we're definitely going to lose. A scrappy 1-0 win for The Robins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcidaho Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I would start Sibs. It's a different game than against blackpool. They are going to park the bus, and we can't unlock it with simply crossing all the time. Sibs would help with running at players and dislodging them, and actually making shots.

HorsforthRam Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Definitely a test for us tactically in terms of an away game where we are possibly expected to take the initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I think a bit of rotation may be good with it being a 3rd game in a week. I would bring Barkhuizen & Sibley in for Wilson & Bird. Not sure its worth risking Bird starting 2 in a row after his injury. I did think we should give NML a rest & start Wilson but last season NML battered these away, not sure if its the same left back for them though? I reckon we will name the same starting 11 though.

Elwood P Dowd Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Another gem from Cloughy was “never change a winning side”. Seems like good advice but then he never had a side with so many old legs in it as we do now. I don’t remember him ever resting Dave Mackay when Dave was fit to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Bird will be starting. He only played 70 minutes and he's young and fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, for sure. We’ve had some brilliant results away from home, with them mainly coming against the so-called better teams in the division who invariably come at you. This has allowed to play on the break a lot of the time. Different animal tomorrow. Pattern of play is likely to be more like a home game. We need to find a way.

Day Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 If we're going to let Cheltenham score one goal, we have to let them score first for the absolute hysterics that would follow. Obviously in an ideal world they don't score and we make the most of the opportunity to improve the goal difference, but if if they were to score and it was a late consolation goal, so what, you would get the odd grumble but nothing OTT. Imagine if they score though in the 20th minute, we go in at half time 0-1, oh boy, it would be spectacular, fans would be thinking we're going to be global front news story from the Derby Telegraph to the Afghan Times. That 40 minutes of pure entertainment before smashing 3 in the second half ourselves would be perfection. So yeah, let them score first or not at all please.

SKRam Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 You’ll note on predictions many are suggesting it’s Derby so we will concede…..but due to their awful start and our increasing confidence (away at least) we will bag a hat full…… it’s almost Saturday let the fun begin Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute calamity! Don't want to curse it but I can't wait for Barkhuizen, NML, K Wilson, and even Collins to get amongst this lot. That has to be one of the most hilarious but equally tragic things I’ve ever seen 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
