RealSlimSladeyy 766 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Another chance to find some consistency and put a run together. Hope we do it but once again I won’t be holding my breath. Utfb but Warnock can still do one I hope Payero scores a hatrick and does a knee slide in front of him Link to post Share on other sites

Won't be surprised at all if we fail this time too, I'm especially weary about the Cardiff match, but winning 3 on the spin for the first time in a year would be a cause for positivity regardless of who the opposition are. You've been bigging up Forest for sacking their manager because of the results since, yet they've played Millwall at home, Birmingham, Barnsley, Blackpool and a Bristol City that hadn't won at home in 17 matches. That's a similarly easy run. Edited October 20, 2021 by TeaCider24 Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget this is on Sky RB even if the stream is a minute or so behind. Actually beginning to learn not to read the forum posts as the game is being played! Looking forward to this with a mixture of feelings Not as bad as posting as the game is being played. People make fun of you for commenting on stuff a couple of minutes after its happened...can you believe that? 😭 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Weasel 965 Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 Feeling strangely optimistic about the game today, Warnock's press conference seemed a lot more positive and he was actually giving praise to players (including Payero). Hopefully that means he'll start again. Think Barnsley have got enough about them to score vs our makeshift defence, but seems like their defence is a shambles and they play a really high line. Can see Tav and Jones getting in behind and causing havoc. Gonna go for a 2-1 victory and a 3rd match day thread 😁 Sporar and Tav to score. Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly hope you do become the founding member of the 3 up club! To all forum members is this game in your humble opinion a "must win" game? Ok the result will not change the balance of power at the top probably but how annoyed would you be at a draw or loss? @Blanco as you can see Joe will do anything to boost the averages! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,400 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I'd be furious with a loss, annoyed with a draw. If we're to make anything of this season, it is a must win for me. We'd be 3-4 points off the play-offs with a victory tonight, and would finally have broken the hoodoo over winning repeatedly. If we play like we did against Peterborough, I wouldn't be overly confident of a result, but we've seen in brief glimpses this season that we can play better. Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,400 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I do hope Tavernier is fit tonight, he can be incredibly frustrating but he does pop up with important contributions and he's had bad luck with injuries lately. I've got a suspicion he'll be missing from the starting 11 though, he was limping slightly for most of the end of the Peterborough match. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Too ill to go tonight in all likelihood. Very off thinking about having to pay to watch it when I have a season ticket but I probably will anyway. I think this is a bigger banana skin than Peterborough and for what positives there were to take out that game, ref decisions are potentially the difference between a win and a loss which isn't exactly good. Still, we should win and I expect us to. Link to post Share on other sites

Still pretty apathetic about Boro and Warnock in general to be honest. If we lose tonight, I'll shrug my shoulders and wonder why anyone expected any different. Too many 'must win' games have been and gone under Warnock now... especially those against teams near the bottom or struggling in form. He even joked himself in the presser that we never beat sides in the bottom three. Glad someone sees the funny side at least 🤷♂️ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Must win game this one isn't it? Barnsley at home. We have to win. Link to post Share on other sites
diggerlad07 3,648 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I understand why fans are asking for Peltier to be back in, Howson to be moved into moved, payero as a number 10 and then drop Uche but do you not think its best to try and gain some momentum and keep the same side? Yes, it didnt work out at Hull after Sheff utd win but with the 2 winnable HOME games our players should be confident after saturdays result (regardless of performance) and its ideal opportunity to get some fans back on board regardless if people want warnock and his cronies at the club or not. It infuriates me when managers change a team or personnel after a win - Understandably if there is injuries but providing everyone is fit then i would stick with the same 11 Link to post Share on other sites
