Anyone know any good pubs in Skegness to watch the game?

Most of the bigger boozers will have it on mate

I mean people need to brace for it. 

 

Are we not underdogs? It's away from home, both strong teams. 

[NW fox]

I think it's gonna be a dull 0-0 where both teams cancel each other out.... 

Or its gonna be a goal fest

Both teams to have 60% posession

You stole that off of the Saints forum didn’t you admit it? I’ve just been reading their fans forum

Maybe it will be a dull 4-4

We could easily lose 3 on the bounce with this and the Norwich game coming up.

 

4 points from the these two would be a brilliant return.

Would love to see AFI start but doubt he will. He can't have had too many full days with the squad. 

Probably be Akgun and Mcateer

[TJQuik]

I reckon we'll lose. Not saying we're in meltdown or anything but it feels like we haven't quite got our shit together at the moment. Might have to take a couple of losses on the chin now before we start to click. If we can get 4-6 points in the next few, even better.

[Tuna]

Desmond I reckon

Lose 3 on the bounce, then I would expect serious questions about Enzo’s plan A

Would rather Mavididi. Don't think he done too much to deserve being dropped.

They lost 5-0 last game and conceded 4 to Norwich so nothing to suggest they've got their shit together 

[Md9]

Can easily see us conceding at least 4 against these or norwich if we don’t tighten up defensively draw wouldn’t be a bad result tonight

Haha I didn’t. The opposite was a joke I read when we played Pulis’ WBA under Shakespeare

[richard123]

3 points in the bag. Common Lesta

[foxfanazer]

Got no real prediction. Looking forward to it though

[Mickyblueeyes]

Happy with a point right now. Losing today with an good Norwich side could be disastrous.

[Jaspa]

Lost to them twice last season. Gonna be difficult.

It's a long old season in the championship. We've already amassed more points than most would've expected so I don't any results right now are disastrous. Obviously we should be looking to win

We've not got some clapping buffoon with a notepad now though

I figured it was not wanting to drop McAteer after a brace but wanting the extra control and creativity Yunus is meant to bring. Wasn't necessarily about "dropping" Mavi. We're just in a weird spot now where, crazy as it is, we can actually rotate. It's a bit alien to us as fans. 

 

Personally I think on evidence I'd have Stephy and Fatawu at the moment but I doubt that's the call.

Ok fair enough lol. I just was looking at their forum and a Saints fan said pretty much exactly the same thing as you 😂

Oh, 100%. Not dropping Kasey was the right call. You can't drop the boy after scoring two, I just reckon Stephy offers more balance being naturally left sided.
