yeh one thing with woodyard is he will not give them much space and will cover alot of ground.

Looks a bit weak that line up for me. They will all have to play out of their skins today. Come on boys.

Magic of the FA cup means anything can happen today. Hopefully lady luck swings in our favour.

 

[Beefy]

Yeah I agree with Smiffy. Think it's a big ask for Woodyard to step in and cover for Mkindawire.

That line up has dampened my optimism I have to say. I'd have been a lot more optimistic if Eastwood had started instead of Corr. Not because I worship Eastwood and dislike Corr, not at all. More because of the type of football throughout the other 10 players that each of those two men promote. I think we're in for a frustrating afternoon of aimless long ball after aimless long ball from the back with Corr failing to get his head on any of them, nullifying the need for a midfield, and only one player up front with the speed, agility and close ball control necessary to continue the successful style of putting into the channels and behind the opposition defence. I think the Brentford defence are going to be laughing all game as they sweep up every stray or missed flick-on from Corr's head and beat Corr and Tomlin to almost every high ball. I seriously hope I'm proven wrong!

First time Spicer has made the bench in a while?

 

[WightShrimper]

Anyone would be a big ask to cover for Tam.

 

[WightShrimper]

OK, good start, now just keep it up boys.

 

[Shrimper]

Sounds like we're playing well.

 

[WightShrimper]

And whatever happens, It sounds like our boys have got their mojo back.

 

[Shrimper]

1-0 Brentford. :thumbdown:

 

[Beefy]

Goal for Brentofrd. Sounds like that doesn't do us justice on the run of play.
