BCFC v PNEFC match thread

[expatjohn]

I think there'll be a couple of changes today. I wouldn't be surprised if Gardner and Dembele are involved.

35 minutes to find out.

[bubba]

I'll be extremely disappointed if Gardner makes the first eleven.  Hogan wouldn't surprise me,  not saying I necesarily think it'll help but I can see it being tried.  For all my ideas of trying Longelo, Laird or Aiwu up there,  Hogan is the one whose position it actually is.

I think he'll revert back to a 4-2-3-1 today but we'll soon find out.

Pray to all that is holy that Stansfield is not on his own up top.

I’d like to see JJ, Dembele start and Bielik moved to centre back.

[expatjohn]

[bignumbernine]

At least Buchanan isn’t playing centre back.

[BluenoseB]

4 at the back? Is pritchard injured or been bombed. No hall either.

Pritchard allegedly injured but virtually nothing said about it.  Hall I'm guessng must have pcked up a knock,  gutted because he did an nterview in the week saying how he wanted to play his part,  ffs.

Yeah looks like 4 at the back,  I'm guessing

Either way can't say it's filling me with confidence,  it feels like nothing has changed,  Venus could have been doing more or less this,  Stansfield up front again,  it's obvious he's been struggling up there for a while.

Very strange. What exactly has changed?

[royalblue]

Not impressed with that line up. Very disappointed to see no Hall or Pritchard available. Not much pace either or, at least not starting. Surprised again to see him not start Sunjic. Would have thought he would be nailed on for a Rowett team.

[dutchblue]

I am surprised and disappointed.

But hey, I don’t get paid a whopping salary (with a massive tax-free bonus if avoiding relegation).
So I’ll shut up and quietly fetch my coat….

[expatjohn]

Good start. Bacuna could probably have done better.

[expatjohn]

Passing is much better.... until the final third.

[expatjohn]

Almost gave them a gift.

[gammo]

Huddersfield & Blackburn both winning 🙁🙁

[expatjohn]

Bielek is having a good game in the centre of midfield.

So is Buchanan and Paik.

[brightside]

Much much better but again final ball just not good enough. This could be the biggest half of football we are going to play in a long time as we need to win this. Losing further points to our relegation rivals and I think we could be gone assuming nothing next game at Leicester.

[Kipper SOTV]

Stansfield come on 1-0

[expatjohn]

Get the absolute fcuk in!

[bignumbernine]

Great composure from Jay. We have to hold on now. This is a huge 25 mins.

[supacragg]

Some players looking tired, Bacuna needs to come off he’s not moving.

[expatjohn]

Huge chance for Paik!

[tonyhancock]

Come on

[tonyhancock]

Easy
