AnotherShitSeason Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 It's just a "Bonus Game" according to Nige. Whatever the score it's fine. No problem. I nice meal before the match perhaps. A run out for the lads. What's not to like?

Silverdaz Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Some of us believe we could actually get something when we have to rely on Morgan and Schwarzer to halt Aguero? It will be like a slaughter house out there. Better than it being Moore and Hamer yikes thought sends a shudder down my spine
LCCFox96 Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Some of us believe we could actually get something when we have to rely on Morgan and Schwarzer to halt Aguero? It will be like a slaughter house out there. If Pearson sticks Morgan on Aguero then he's a fool. Morgan's style of play and lack of pace would be more suited to a match up Dzeko I feel. We will also likely have 3 at the back to their two forwards so take a modicum of comfort in the fact that we will have a man advantage in marking their 2 forwards. And IF we do stop Aguero we DO have a good chance of getting something.

Aguero receives the plaudits, but really Man City's midfield, on their day is right up there... if they turn up, then we'll regret not matching them for numbers there, while having a man 'over' at the back Whatever happens though, our attacking players need to take comfort in our extra man at the back and actually get attacking... Mahrez has woeful & Schlupp as erratic as ever Another point maybe that Nugent's workrate and ability to pressure forwards, closing off the passing lanes might mean he's better suited than some others to start

cc_star Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Season starts tomorrow morning......... and we're on -7pts, with a game in hand

What's not to like? All the games are a bonus now because we will be playing championship football next season.
Corky Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Man City 6-0 Leicester. That "we ain't been hammered" cliche will be no more after tonight. Hopefully. That cliche is so annoying, I hope we get thrashed so we don't hear it any more.
cc_star Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Hopefully. That cliche is so annoying, I hope we get thrashed so we don't hear it any more. Sums up many on here, who would sooner have their world view proved right, then any successes whatsoever

What's not to like? As long as it's in a pub. Then the players can have a few and hopefully have no fear. Worked for many a manager throughout history.
canadaukfox Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 I had a dream that we won 2-1, and then on the way in to work this morning I saw a fox, and it stared at me. Its on. Might even place a bet.I had a similar premonition, and will be dropping a mighty 2 quid on us winning. Was and Huth need to start at the back if he picks Morgan I will be pissedPrepare to be pissed for the rest of the season. He's Nige's bitch.

Mahrez has woeful & Schlupp as erratic as ever Another point maybe that Nugent's workrate and ability to pressure forwards, closing off the passing lanes might mean he's better suited than some others to start Can't argue with that. Its a gamble as to loading the defence or the midfield. I think we play better with the extra man in defence and takes the reason I'd stick with 5 at the back but you make a valid point about the midfield. I definitely agree about Mahrez and Schlupp needing to attack more in the current system. Its do or die time for us now. We need the points and boy do we need them badly.
Fox Ulike Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 13/18 when Hammond was a starter. How many of the 18 when Nugent was a starter? 14/18 I think. An indication that when we play a team with a proper Defensive Midfielder and a Number 10, we're not a half-bad side.

That cliche is so annoying, I hope we get thrashed so we don't hear it any more. I hope the ruskies start a nuke war before we get relegated. Then the record books will never show us going down.
Fox Ulike Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 I hope the ruskies start a nuke war before we get relegated. Then the record books will never show us going down. yeah but then we'd be bottom of the league for the rest of eternity.
Harry - LCFC Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Man City 6-0 Leicester. That "we ain't been hammered" cliche will be no more after tonight. You sound like you're looking forward to it. It's like it irritates you that we've not ticket the 5-0 defeat box yet, gotta get that done before we go down eh? It's just a "Bonus Game" according to Nige. Whatever the score it's fine. No problem. I nice meal before the match perhaps. A run out for the lads. What's not to like? He actually said we can't look at it as a bonus game. So yeah.

J.Lisemore Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 'Bonus games' are out of the window now, our points total signify that. We need to go there with the genuine aim to win the football match.
cc_star Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 14/18 I think. An indication that when we play a team with a proper Defensive Midfielder and a Number 10, we're not a half-bad side. The fact that Hammond has featured in 13 of our 18pts and Nugent in 14 out of our 18pts and the fact they're not starters, speaks volumes about our league position It's obvious to most that the team plays at a higher tempo when Nugent is on the pitch & that our midfield wasn't as troubled earlier in the season when Hammond played most his games than it has been since supposedly 'better' players came into the starting lineup
LCCFox96 Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 'Bonus games' are out of the window now, our points total signify that. We need to go there with the genuine aim to win the football match. This. We can't afford to show them any respect whatsoever. We can cause every team in division problems when we play well. Ruffling a few feathers at the Etihad will be a stern test but its not something that is beyond us!
