If we are firing on all cylinders and play well, we should get a good result. If everything clicks?

Depends on the mindset of our manager, if he looks to win the game and tries to be positive we have a chance, or it could be another mind numbing defensive performance hoping to grind out something from the game.

What you have to remember is that football is a results based business, fan enjoyment is nothing to do with things.

Give Cullen another lone striker day out which clearly does not work !? Rather start with VP ..

If vip has thrown his toys out of the pram i would go with Wales myself but if not i would start with vip

Is the right answer.

Tidy lineup but as it’s away and they seem to be playing well. I’d start Stamenic ahead of Yalcouye.
Would love to see Parker ahead of Key at this point as well. Think he just looks a better player atm.

Exactly. Franco on to help maintain control and later sub him for Yalcouye for a bit more creativity. Or vice versa bring Franco on to help close the game out?

 

[Ringwood]

With Vigs, Burgess and Cabango going longer now it sort of works going wide to Inoussa, Eom and Ronald but anything aerial to Cullen turns our possession over to the opposition too easily and invites pressure. I do get why he drops deeper to create space and get a pass to feet but then we have no presence ahead of him down the middle.

LOB back filled the gap last season and pushed into the vacant gap left by Cullen which drove us up the field

Drop someone who’s got 2 goals in two games and a point to prove for a youngster who has a lot of potential but not so much experience away at a place like Hillsborough? I’d grant you bringing him on for the last 10-15 minutes if the game was won or needed fresh energy but not so much a starter. Too raw yet.

Cullen at the expense of Galbraith? Never. And I mean never ever

Yes, that's why there are so many empty seats over the stadium, particularly in the south stand. Last season there were so few people in it you could have closed it for a few games. This season so far, let's be honest, we have neither had entertainment or great results in our first 3 games, just bang average tedious boredom most of it.

Match Preview: Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea City

There’s a certain weight to Hillsborough away. It’s not just the steep stands or the echo off the corrugated roof—it’s the feeling in your gut when you

I think we’ll turn up today.
0-2 Swans.

 

[Ringwood]

Shackle Bannan and give him no platform to dictate the midfield.. everything goes through him so we need that stopped preferably by Franco.
