No. We have 3 games in 8 days, not 7.

We do not.

The time gap between kick-off on Saturday 30th October and kick off on Saturday 6th November is 168 hours. 168 divided by 24 is 7.

We play three games in a 7-day period. If you want to be super pedantic, 7 days plus about 2 hours for the third match to finish playing out, but come on.

Tony won his game last week. Time for three no-wins till the next get out of jail win. Hope I'm wrong Tony "I'm an honourable man" chancer. Lucky he has Venkys. I'm watching the cricket anyway. They take it more seriously I hope. BTW really hope we beat that cheating club today. 

That cheating club...are we not essentially pulling the same kind of trick with the training ground 'sale'?

Tbh the rules are such a load of tosh anyway that it's no surprise some clubs don't respect them. 'Fair' play my arse.

Buckley at right back

Buckley at right back? Oh dear.

What school did you go to?

[Paul Mellelieu]

Not much choice `I d say.

[Stonesrick]

Must be one of the weakest subsbench for a long long time.

[joey_big_nose]

Defence looking very very makeshift. Derby will fancy us on out wide and at set pieces.

Would have thought Van Hecke RB and Carter central would be more solid?

But still better than 5 2 3 or whatever it was - Tony's more crappy defending the merrier tactic.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I wonder when we’ll see Ayala again ?

[davulsukur]

Derby will fancy their chances with that back line. Not much chance we will keep a clean sheet here.

Barry picks it one week, his lad the next, maybe even madame has a punt. Somewhere inbetween it's Tony's turn.

Mini league pinned on the fridge door in Pune towers and if Mowbray wins more than the rest he gets a new contract.

Explains why Mowbray looks so disconnected and miserable most weeks on the sideline. Bet they pick the subs too.

Believing there are not two Saturdays in a week is not being pedantic.

This chat about the 3 games in 7/8 days is making me chuckle, keep it up!

I think we're giving him way too much credit here.

Does it also explain the nonsense he comes out with pre and post match?

One where we debated on the merits of the discussion and not via ad hominem. Try again.

You're counting the morning of the first day before the first game, and the evening after the second game, that's why you're getting this wrong.

Well we better hope the starting 11 get the win because that bench offers literally nothing.

My tongue is very firmly in my cheek.

 

Is Carter not fit to play 90 mins? Obviously JRC isn't, he never is. Buckley at RB is asking for trouble - if I was Rooney I'd put my paciest / trickiest player on the LW and watch him sow havoc.

Much like Wheelton, you haven't taken in what I've said. Let's just fob this off and focus on the game eh?

When the clocks go forward 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

If Mowbray was thinking of playing 5 at the back with Nyambe and Ayala out today would be a good a time as any.

I don't think Van Heck looks anything resembling a full back

Don't see how Ayala being out improves our options to play 3 CBs

I’m waiting for someone to factor in the clocks going back. 😂
