But I’m not sure being relegated two divisions is how it works. Could be wrong though. I also remember Birmingham Grimsby being a fairly regular championship fixture in the 90s and 00s.

Channon’s Windmill 335 Posted April 27 Don’t want an Ipswich win, but really do not fancy us needing a result at Brum next week, it’s got Fulham last game of season written all over it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,206 Posted April 27 I shall watch that match tonight and note that McKenna has brought both Hirst and Burns straight into the starting line-up. The former has been out nearly as long as the Sarge was, and the latter nearly as long as Rowe was. This tactic is clearly in direct contrast with Wagner's more cautionary approach to the long-term injured, and if it backfires could well impede their play-off chances. I never wish a player injured, but a setback for both might be pleasing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarybubbles 1,946 Posted April 27 For me it's a question of whether you support your team or hate another team - which is stronger? No contest, you support your team. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed....St Andrews can be intimidating when it needs to be, and it will be next week. Our players could easily crumble...I dont fancy Wagner managing the situation either in response to what might be going on elsewhere in other games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, not least because whatever happens tonight we still need to win next week to get fifth place which looks like being quite an advantage. I'd actually be ok with a Hull win tonight. Draw obviously the best result. Cheering on the binners is just weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,690 Posted April 27 Not complaining - barring a defeat for us with an 8-goal swing to Hull we are in the playoffs whatever else happens; if Cov can rediscover their home form the binners are still far from certain of 2nd.

BroadstairsR 2,206 Posted April 28 So many teams play in an identical way nowadays. For Hull, I could have read NCFC for so much of yesterday’s game, and same with the Binners. Playing it from the back often produces such a predictable pattern of passing it around in your own half, looking for a forward opening or a wider player to pinpoint. The so-called "press" changed regularly between the two sides yesterday and in both games. City can be amongst the best at it, I feel, but that also involves a fair share of misplaced passes and sacrificing this press. Teams react to this by seemingly and readily moving almost the whole of the ten outfield players either backwards or forwards in unison. It exhausts, leading to the necessity of the new subs ruling and so many goals scored in extra time. In both games "weaponry" (Sara for City and Hutchinson for ITFC) proved decisive in breaking such a deadlock. Sara, Saintz and Nunez (along with the Sarge) will be our greatest strengths in these tight-knit games as each can produce a goal from nothing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
