Notts County......a big game.

[Reg Smeeton]

Even King has woken up to the importance of this fixture.

  This has to be good and hopefully the squad will be prepared accordingly, i.e. not travelling on the day, but overnight with a change of routine thrown in.

 Don't think there are too many reasons though, for expecting to progress, other than that the importance may focus some of our underachievers into a show for the cameras

 Our record in TV games under King is woeful.

 Not a single fixture out of about 5 resulting in an ultimate success.

 Then there is the added pressure of the possibility of penalties, I'm sure a lot of ours would rather lose than have that again, which must be to Notts advantage

 Then there is our general poor away form,  SSP has just the one goal away from the CG

 I would say our best chance has to be to come out all guns blazing....I'd go for starting with  Fallon Parkin and Roberts, and the three at the back.

 There is no point in us having to revert to this to chase the game our best chance is getting ahead then going a bit less gung ho.

 We probably need at least 2 if not 3 goals, something not managed often this season. A tall order.....think King realises this is a make or break game.

Good shout there Reginald... I agree with what you are saying whole heartedly.

Would be nice to see three upfront and for us to go for the kill straight from the off.

I am hoping that this is one of the games where we turn on the style and play to our potential.

Reggie, you can't be serious in wanting to start with Fallon.  I'd rather start with Kieron Fallon than Rory.  

I actually think we'll win 2-0 on Wednesday, Igoe and Howard will be well up for it in front of the camera's.  We played so poorly against County last time round we'll take 'em by surprise this time round.

[Piemonte]

I'm still feeling pretty negative after our recent performances.

I've got a gut feeling we're gonna play shite and embarase ourselves on telly for the umpteenth time.

That said, i hope the lads prove me totally wrong and we stuff them

 Fallon has scored 3 times as many goals on the road as SSP this season.

 When we scored 2 at Barnsley, we had RF SSP and CR up front, the only time we've scored 3 RF played.

 We need goals as we don't do 1-0's.......better to get a good start than chase, but having said that we lost a 2 and 3 goal lead at Walsall and Stockport, so I'm with Piemonte.

 Kieron Fallon is being lined up as our next chairman, a cross between Carson and Brian Hillier (allegedly)

We won away at brighton............

[Ben Wah Balls]

Not an ultimate success though 'cos we didn't win over two legs.

[Reg Smeeton]

Ultimate success,  losing on penaltiies is not winning.

[STFCDude]

i'll let you have that one!!

[mexico red]

i can imagine this as the line up

Code:

         evans
jenkins ohanlon  heywood duke
     igoe hewlett howard
    parkin fallon roberts

[Piemonte]

jenkins ohanlon  heywood duke
     igoe hewlett howard
    parkin fallon roberts

the phrase "over-run midfield" springs to mind there

[STFCDude]

Evans

Jenkins   O'Hanlon   Heywood   Nicholas

Igoe   Howard      Hewlett   Duke

   Parkin      Roberts

I reckon something like this....

[Reg Smeeton]

I suspect King will go with the side that finished the game on Saturday.

  This will of course be suicide, as you can't get away with Igoe and Howard together in a three, Turbo should come in for Howard.

[sonicyouth]

It'll be the same as the weekend except with Duke in for Nicholas.

I accept your point about starting with 3 up front but I really don't think it'd work. Not feeling confident about Wednesday night to be honest

I'd love it if Kingy dropped Howard.  Young Brian would be devastated, bet he's got his mum to put the video on and everything.  He'll be wrestling Roberts for the free kicks.  

Just hope someone takes the corners away from Sammy Igoe, he couldn't clear Arnold from different strokes if he was on the front post.  Dreadful corners!!
