old_eastender Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 57 minutes ago, BanburyRed said: Can't see anything other than a convincing 90min performance, some structure/formation, discipline etc being enough to pacify those going today. Undoubtedly the team has quality but seem unable (unwilling even..?) to put this together for 2 halves. If we go behind, i dread to think what the atmosphere will be like - and then it becomes about determination, resolve, character, desire....throw into the mix the team's current mental fragility under pressure and it could, could be, a tinderbox. That said, we have to use the seriousness of the current situation to best advantage, time for round pegs & round holes, a formation to take the game to Burton, not merely contain them, and go out there with a commitment to get the job done. Play with a freedom, a passion....something that says 'we're here to play football and here to win'... A win, 2-0, 3-1, is a must i feel today. Along with a performance. 2 up front please, no messing around. 3 at the back, 5 across the middle, play with intent & width. Start the game at pace, leave everything on the pitch at the end. No excuses. COYR! Absolutely MUST start with 2 up front and no excuses, win is a must or Loser Johnson has to go - "We want Johnson OUT, we want Johnson OUT" - but save that for FT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway here's hoping for a convincing win, all though I don't hold out much hope, so LJ for Gods sake just play an attacking team for once in your life and try and win the game.

City_USA Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Mornin' all. Very important match today as we all know. Can't believe I'm sat here anxious about playing the mighty Burton Albion and how this may shape our season. If the rumours are correct that LJ could go if we're in the RZ maybe if we are down there at half time that may be enough for SL to make the decision I feel needs to be made, we then do the unlikely thing and make a dramatic comeback and get the 3 points we so desperately need.

... Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Obviously hope City win 3-0, and pull Burton back into the scrap. We don't win though, and don't keep clean sheets. I see it as a scoring draw - 1-1 or 2-2. Not enough to see Johnson given the boot in his arse. That would need to be 0-3, which would be a ******* disaster for the club. IMHO once we get into the relegation zone, we won't get out again. tfj P.S. COYR, but ******-off Johnson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
