How does everyone feel out this ? With both clubs struggling for a wins, who's under most pressure here? Will a defeat at home to them basically destroy any goodwill RM may have ? Shirley its MM last chance ( that makes this tricky for us?) Are we nailed on for an ultra tense/boring 0-0 ?
Thers more questions over this particular derby for me than I can recall.
Personally I think we'll just nick it. Cannot contemplate the unthinkable.
 
They won't have much of the ball but that doesn't phase them. Can we defend when we have to against their big boys at throw ins and corners? Draw for me 1-1. But forever hopeful for a win more so than than expectant.
 
Another break to get tactics across and a fully fit squad to choose from? We’ll smash these useless head tapping wankers.
 
0-0.

A bunch of cloggers knocking it long to our defence, us having 80% and not being able to get a shot off (or not wanting to). Repeat for 90 mins.

This probably means it'll be a 4-4 thriller. :D
 
We are going to mash them up and eat them with a fork and spoon.

Piroe 4 goals alone. Watch that man.
 
We need Cabango at the centre of the back line to deal with their lumpers. The problem is he's away with Wales now.

Apart from shooting practice, all RM has to do is nullify the neanderthals at set pieces. Cooper couldn't do that ( home derby) last year. If he cant see that then I've serious doubts bout him.
 
Easy win for us, as regards Cabango and Moore both in Welsh squad and i fancy Cabango to nullify the anti football GIANTS.
 
2-0 swans

i suspect it'll play out like last year - we will batter them withthem doing nothing other than the usual corner/free kick. Hopefully Oba is back and can run at their long haired triplets at the back.

i dont know whether its worth playing an extra proper centre half cabango/bennett rather than manning/naughts to combat their 7ft gorms or just do what we've been doing and try and kill them with the ball.

I would go with manning at lwb for this and bennett cb

Hope not mate, they should have been 3 up at half time if their cart horse had some oats. :lol: We were terrible.

Better second half but a lucky post and Whittaker missing more chances in one game than Cullen in a season (although he played well I thought) meant we never really looked like we’d get the breakthrough. I expect much better, and I expect us to show intent and frigging shoot.

If RM cannot sort the centre of defence out we could be in for a long early afternoon.

i must have recalled a different game mate! Didnt we have like 25 shots to their 5 or something?
 
It'll be a game of possession and missed chances for us and them up the road scoring from a corner and set piece. 2 nil to them up the road. I have no confidence with this manager whatsoever. His tactics are so inept it there for all to see and i think supporters have been blindsided by promises of quality possession football which as we know doesn't win matches as we have seen already this season.
