So long as he sticks with a back four, and plays Smith and Ward rather than Bradley and Hourihane, we will be fine. At Northampton we started with both Bradley and Hourihane, Ward and Blackett Taylor were only subs. We also have Collins back instead of Washington/Waggy.

Word to the wise, don't take anything they say seriously. That's pure doom-scroll clickbait. How many forums are you on btw? After spotting you on the Wycombe board, a quick google reveals quite a lot, though given recent history, Wycombe is definitely the weirdest.

Eoghan1884 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 For this game I’d love to see Wildsmith Wilson Nelson Cashin Sibley Smith Adams Thompson Mendez Collins CBT thats assuming Ward won’t be able to start because of his knock. It seems Wycombe will be missing Scowen from the heart of their midfield and have also moved Leahy to left back which makes them a bit toothless in the middle. So having a three with the energy Smith Tommo and Adams will give us, would really give us a stronghold on the game. With a three in midfield it would also allow Mendez to move back to the right wing where I think everyone agrees he is best. With CBT playing so well having him and Mendez on opposite wings would be amazing on the counter against slow full backs. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when they actually say something rather than the speculation they mainly post, it's generally spot on although 95% of what they post is pure speculation, the rest is copied from other sources. So, 5% of their posts are accurate... this was one. Seems Fozzy, like Collo, looks like getting back early. Good news if true. Went on Wycombe when the Couhig thing started to ask their view on it. I was polite, they responded in kind, had some discussion on there, not always agreed with each other but it's been civilised, even when I faulted their "style" although I do understand why they play that way. I'm one of the last few on FootyMad. Joined this one when COYR went south. Used to run the East Midlands Collective before that ended up with a handful of posters from a top of 500. My background? Played till I was 53. Last few years as player/coach, UEFA B qualified. Coached the youth keepers at my local club for about 10 years. Qualified ref as well. Quit that 2 years ago after a broken fibula that needed 2 operations left me not able to keep up with play box to box for 90 minutes. Always said I'd never become the ref that never left the centre circle so, at 68 and true to my word, I stopped. norwichram and Norwichram2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're always looking out for good referees, preferably ones who understand the game. The refs in walking football are fairly static, taking up a position on one side of the pitch, around the half way line. I'm that if you offered your services, they would be greatly received.

She thought most likely a knock on the bone which was tender and would settle down in just a few days. Anyway, fingers crossed - he’s become an important part of the balance we’ve found in the last 4 or 5 games Are Leighton Orient one of them tribute football teams? I imagine a heavily moustached Peter Kitchen lookalike posing out on the wing. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wycombe along with the other remaining 3 teams, who by the time we meet them, will probably have nothing to play for. Other than the kudos of beating us. They'll all know we'll need wins, to keep ahead of the chasing pack. I believe all 4 teams will be dogmatic in their approach to the game, try to stifle us by any means possible, be they fair of foul. Then hopefully pinch a goal when we overstretch ourselves as we push forward looking for a goal. Unless we manage to score a couple of early goals, I doubt any of the last 4 games will be easy to watch.

r4derby Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 On 04/04/2024 at 16:50, Comrade 86 said: Indeed, in fact I heard that Warne bought a lottery ball dispensing machine and simply fed in the squad numbers of those who remain able to play and hey presto, he 'stumbled onto a formation that surprisingly works quite well', as you put it. Such a lucky manager! That said, we seemed to be playing rather well prior to the injuries too, so perhaps he's not really stumbled on anything. It’s ok, it’s not that deep. I’m not having a dig at Warne, so you can calm down i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimbeard Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 14 hours ago, Ambitious said: The best thing about Wycombe is that it’s not far from London, otherwise (equally) there is generally nothing else to do - and they still don’t get decent crowds. You could make this argument about 98% of the towns and cities in the country. This counts as a good thing? angieram, jono and RadioactiveWaste 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
