Goalless draw?

Yep - that's correct. Here's the link to the table I use for the previews. If you click on the team you can get their full results and you can see that it's definitely goalless draws for the games with a lower case d.

Cheers both.

I see Yeovil this year as quite poor and believe we should be beating them, i think going down to 10 men at home was the only way theyd get anything out of us and its not happening twice. 2 nil to Southend, we definetly have more quality.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Can’t wait for this one. First time seeing the boys live all season. Going to be tight. Bridge back in, Ralph to LCB, although not sure who will miss out from Golding and Goodlife.

Bonne and Kendall up front for me, with LCP just behind with Morton and Husin in the middle. Hopper/Walker/Waldron to come on after 65-70 mins.

Going for a 2-1 win against the cider boys.

Play Ralph as LWB, we lose ….

Play Bridge at LWB, we might win ….

It’s that simple.

We don’t want that fat Hippo (Ex Col Utd forward) to be a Ronaldo against us!!

PS. Haven't checked but are Rochdale fans having a meltdown over gifting two points to the not-so-meek Lambs?

They are indeed:

"Even with all our forwards on we did not really look like scoring.

Overall not good enough against workmanlike part timers who could have snatched it themselves."

You may have read elsewhere some of the Rochdale fans other comments?

"Our play is pedestrian at best and we need to up the urgency. Our set pieces have been dire, the commentators are saying what we see every week, we are good right up to the penalty area but then lack any "sharpness" (their words!)"

"We really are ****e. No purpose to our play whatsoever. Same as every other week. Pass, pass, pass and get nowhere."

I see this one as more vital than Tamworth.. A defeat would surely be goodnight Vienna to any play off aspirations

They have had a very poor run and suddenly have just won two games, so confidence should be higher

Our form though is better and I think we could and should take all 3 points.. Really need to go all out on this one, not kick off too defensively

Possession football is dead, kick and rush is the new thing kids

Possession football is dead, kick and rush is the new thing kids

Even Man C, for at least the first half, went more direct last night before they reverted to type.

 

[in the know]

It feels like every games outcome hinges on us getting an early confidence boosting goal for a successful result. Otherwise we concede and scrape a draw.
so I hope we really go for them with 3 up front and aggressive pressing.

Bring back 1-1-8 and 2-3-5 formations

Are they not opening the uncovered terrace behind the goal? Is seating the only option?

Normally it's just the seats, unless we take a large following (which we won't)

Last time I went, it was seats (which is a decent stand to be in), and they then let fans go behind the goal second half as we were shooting that way.
