The League 1 General Chat Match Thread

[T.A]

For when you can't be bothered to make your own match thread or your club is just too small and boring. This is the thread for you.

Bradford City v Bristol Rovers
Blackpool v AFC Wimbledon
Bury v Scunthorpe United
Doncaster Rovers v Peterborough United
Gillingham v Shrewsbury Town
Milton Keynes Dons v Oxford United
Oldham Athletic v Charlton Athletic
Southend United v Rochdale
Walsall v Plymouth
Portsmouth v Rotherham

 

[Aber gas]

This is going well Tommeh.

 

[T.A]

It's Friday night. The fun people will be out and not on a football forum

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Perhaps it's the Friday night 'optimism' but I predict a big win against the Dons tomorrow. 3-0 to Oxford

 

[Shrimpurh]

Rochdale should hammer us. 1 fit defender

Rochdale should hammer us. 1 fit defender

Dunno, we've had a "lurgy" in our squad, with various players being ill. However Messrs Davies, Done and Henderson all know where the net is...

I think its about 30 years since we won at Der Roothallstadion, so its about time.

With the Shrimperz aforementioned lack of defenders balanced against Dale's tendency to give away sloppy goals, I'll plump for an optimistic 2-4 scoreline!

Fairly even game so far at the KM

So inevitably its 0-0

Finishing with 10 men and saving a penalty, I suspect that Dale will be the happier of the two teams with a point...

Are Blackpool going to sneak into the playoffs and win them again?

Are Blackpool going to sneak into the playoffs and win them again?

Probably best to ask that question again in 40 games.

 

[Bottega Don]

Good win for us today. Deserved overall really. Fantastic free kick from Morris, he is well and truly back on form.

Had a goal disallowed and I’m not sure why really. With have to watch it again.

 

[UTS]

1 shot on target at home. Clark out!

 

[PaulHaddock]

Lance Stoe didn't enjoy today's game.

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Please can someone update on Tyler Roberts

 

[RobboPOSH]

Disappointing from Fergie, he seemed to want to stop us winning rather than try to win himself. Not the Fergie we all know and love...

On international duty.

Maybe he's learning

 

[RobboPOSH]

Maybe he's learning

Maybe, but the game was easily winnable from Donny's point of view. I'd be disappointed if we went negative at home against any of the teams in our division.

 

[Hedonist Puncture]

3 points, clean sheet, 4-4-2. I think Alexander has got it now.

Professional performance against a physical Bury side. Useless referee. I was closer to Adelakun's disallowed goal than the lino who flagged it. At a better angle too.

Morris's winner was absolute quality. Fantastic skill to get the ball up, over the wall and down from the distance he took it. Morris has now been involved in more L1 goals than any other player. He's a match winner. Pity some of our fans are brain dead in seeing that.

Fair enough but it's a fine balance of trying to win and not concede. I expect the squad to learn from Saturday and turn games like that into a win

Imagine letting a player like that go for free, oh hang on...

Imagine not playing him.

Mind you, some players just don't do that well at some clubs, while they are very successful at others.

 

[Hedonist Puncture]

Are Blackpool going to sneak into the playoffs and win them again?

If they beat us on Saturday, they will certainly believe they can. We are overdue a win against them. I'm expecting a tough but good game, with both teams currently in a bit of form.

 

[Hedonist Puncture]

Did Morris ever play wide left midfield in a 4-4-2 set up with you guys? Morris has looked Championship quality in that position, but whenever Alexander has changed the formation to wing backs, eg 3-5-2 or 5-4-1, he has struggled. Even when we played poorly with a diamond, he was off his game.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Blackpool will beat us. That is all.

 

[Aber gas]

I'll give this thread a whirl.
We'll bounce back from Bradford with a cracking win against Walsall. Wouldn't be surprised with a stylish 4-1 win. UTG.

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Struggling Gillingham visit Oxford. We never do well when we are favourites so I'll go for an unconvincing 3-0 victory.

You should have to much for us as do most of the league

 

[Bottega Don]

We play our bogey side in Blackpool today. We've won 1 of the last 11 games against them and they've won the last 5. We really are due a win over them, let's hope today is the day.
