[The Terminator]

• Salford City v Northampton Town - Live on Sky
• Crewe Alexandra v AFC Wimbledon
• Harrogate Town v Colchester United
• Leyton Orient v Doncaster Rovers
• Mansfield Town v Barrow
• Rochdale v Newport County
• Tranmere Rovers v Sutton United

Edit: I appear to have got stuck in 2022.

 

[The Terminator]

Big chance for Doncaster to win beat us tomorrow, we have no fit centre backs and all our suspensions, injuries and illnesses having come in one week.

Adam Thompson will start at centre back tomorrow but he hasn't played properly for 3 months, Darren Pratley will likely play alongside him. We may even go to a back three which wouldn't shock me.

Wellens has said we will get a centre back in next week, he hinted that a target may be playing in the FA Cup this weekend.

On top of that Ruel Sotiriou and Aaron Drinan have been ill, Paul Smyth is fit but nursing an injury, leaving young Jayden Wareham as our only fit striker - he is talented but still very raw.

Doncaster won't get a better chance to beat us tomorrow, gonna have to accept the bumps in the road, we've had 24 games so far and had alot of luck with injuries.

Rovers home to an improving Sutton. Poor result at Crewe with a bad choice of substitute by Mellon when we were trying to get back into the game. The rumours for Rovers are mainly focussed on departures, train strikes are going to deplete attendances, probably going to be our lowest of the season if advanced sales any indication. At best a draw but more likely we lose.

Tinpot thread please, all the big boys have FA Cup games tomorrow instead.

We are shite so we won’t

We are shite so we won’t

You've won two in a row and are 7th!!!

We've not beaten you at home since that 8-0 back in December 1997! Which I was at.

 

[EricSabin]

Finally some proper football on Sky. Hope everyone will be tuning in to see Jon Brady’s tricky Cobblers put on a display for people to watch whilst eating their lunch. Our injury list has grown and we’ve got 5 out, so unsure what team we’ll field. Needed a big win against Orient last time out, and hopefully we can back that up here and really start to stretch our legs in 3rd.

Salford have made tickets £5 in their ‘going to the match’ campaign which should probably be called the ‘please god can we have more than 2,000 there so we don’t look tinpot on the telly’ campaign.

We have zero idea which team will turn up, yes we’ve won 2 in a row but believe me Rochdale we’re better than us, I’ve zero idea how we won. I fully remember the 8-0 it was at the height of our despair, I also fondly remember the game at old Belle Vue when we got back into the league, a couple of your fans brought balloons stating 5-0, I hope they had a bet because that was the score line, however to us. It will come down to who scores first, if you do then you will win by 3, if it’s us then I’ve no idea

Huge opportunity to make the gap 10 points to the side below. Lets smash these tinpot folk.

Pitch inspection at Rochdale.

 

[LordJord]

This pitch is shocking.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Gwon Salford, need to go wash my mouth out now.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Gift from Salford, glad we never got that keeper

I’m watching.
That Alex Cairns is a good keeper.

I feel personally offended!

 

[Loyal Dale]

Another pitch inspection at Dale at 1.30. Must be borderline. surprised it's not off due to the ridiculous overnight heavy rain .

 

[Claret Forever]

Really miss a target man type player for this sort of pitch. Guthrie the only one able to deal with Smith at the back.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

I feel personally offended!

Don’t worry they gave you a gift as compensation! A draw would be nice as well tbf but could go either way this.

 

[EricSabin]

We’ve been fucking shite today

 

[WilsdenBantam]

McAleny is a little prick, don’t know why he doesn’t go flying in front of opposing fans and silence them though like everytime he plays us.

 

[EricSabin]

Midfield non existent there, really miss McWilliams in there

 

[LordJord]

Agree we have been terrible. Sherring is struggling massively with the pitch on his side and is being exposed. Pinnock playing more as a 10 isnt working and the midfield 2 are struggling although Fox is doing really well i think. Their second goal they had a massive numbers advantage. Not good at all.

 

[Claret Forever]

Refs giving all the 50/50s to Salford at the moment.

Really vulnerable to the counter and set pieces. Don't think Sowerby is going to be well enough to get on.

Tinpot!!

 

[Claret Forever]

Awful performance on a terrible pitch. Going to need a few reinforcements if McWilliams and Maglorie are out for a while.

Brady has to change it up

 

[Claret Forever]

Well... games over then

 

[Claret Forever]

Ref, you dumb fucking c***..not even a foul.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Ref, you dumb fucking c***..not even a foul.

That was a red card, he always does tackles like that the little snake rat. One day he’ll break someone’s leg.

 

[EricSabin]

That’s a terrible challenge isn’t it. Not even a foul.
