Apparently Reardon (CB) got off on mistaken identity from the red card in his NYL game.

KGJ again......here we go again

If we lose this I'll seriously begin to think Babbel would be better as a technical director than as a manager.

Glad to see Yeboah not being injured. Thought he was out for 2 weeks.

(Whatever they score) : (whatever they score - 1)

Squad ins outs that I saw didn't include Yeboah or Mahazi!?

Bridge still out for 2 weeks, obviously there is 100 days in a Bridge injury week.

I am going for a 6 - 5 loss after being 5 -1 up at half time....

We lose 3 -  2 with the winning goal close to full time.

Another game 

Out Injured. Bridge - (2 weeks) It's 2 weeks every ******* week.

Retire him ffs.

Don't think you can with the PFA

Seems like bridge's injury will last the rest of the season and see him into retirement.

I was being sarcastic, but geez, it's getting beyond a joke now.

I’m going with a 4-3 scoreline, with a slim chance of being on the winning side of that score line

Its all shaping up to be a final home game of the season last 10min cameo farewell appearance.....

What was his injury again? 

Taggart hat trick

Taggart hat trick

One of them being a worldie 

So ends the summer of heros or football or whatever the campaign was 

thank Christ for that 

Both teams are licking their licks thinking this is game we are going to win 

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a nil all draw but seeing both teams can defend highly unlikely 

only prediction is roly to blast one finally from outside the box he needs a contract for somewhere next year needs to start impressing the mariners 

After conceding big numbers recently we will sure up our defence and they have Young in goals who will no doubt play a blinder against us again so I'm going for 1-0 WSW, like a racehorse if we get to the front too early we will **** ourselves and get run down so Im hoping for a 91st minute winner, even then that next 3 mins might be dodgy. 

No mention at all of Ziggy in the squad or as injured.  Could it be because he is doing his citizenship ceremony on Australia Day?

He's on all but the Nix game (which is NZ)

So wouldn't it be an obvious conclusion that he is potentially the problem with the VAR?

Boaty and Matt Mackay both out.

If Elrich learns to defend and shut down Taggart we might actually win for a change.

So... we won't win? 

I remain hopeful each week.

Until the inevitable.

Haha you made me go back and check my spelling!  I am not taking the bait by the way.

Hahaha...That's perfectly fine LM!

Noone here will. 

If they've been around for a while....and/or  visited various incarnations of the Politics Thread, they know it's best to ignore me on this issue (and a few others, I'm sure )!

I have been crushed too many times over the last 6 games I just have that #mentality that we will blow it again somehow and if its not us VAR will surely make sure of the result

we should be able to win this............that said..........
