NG32 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'm getting a bit nervous for this. I cant see it being a daft score for us. The mackems will work really hard in the first 20 minutes, then it will be down to us to move the ball about and pick them off. I'm not writing the mackems off. me neither. they'll go 4-5-1 and be up for it. smother the midfiled and play off jones for the break. an early goal for us could break their gameplan. An early goal would settle me down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenum Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'm telling you now, I would love it if we beat them! 3-1 Martins, Owen, Taylor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Milburnthedog Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It rarely an easy game to win to be fair. They need the points for safety and could go above us in the league too. keane has a point to prove and they will be well up for it. 3-0 to the Mags. Hahaha.

Keefaz Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 2-1. It'll be tough, but we've got the extra quality, I hope, to shine through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Head says 1-1, heart says 2-1. An early goal would be nice and I wouldn't be surprised to see a red card. Looking forward to it and I don't see the point in getting nervous and chewed about the whole day. Just have a bit of faith and deal with whatever happens - we should beat them.

JH Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I don't think it will be close. If we can score early, we'll win it comfortably. [/optimism] 3-1 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'll be shitting it on the day but with my calm, rational head on, i'm totally confident. They're fucking shit. As long as we don't get any unexpected injury problems, our three up top will have too much for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I dunno, its hard to say really, on paper looking at the two teams we have the players to thrash them good and proper if we are at our best and they are slightly off form but we know it rarely goes like that for us.

Yorkie Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'm glad Portsmouth held us to a draw tbh. Five wins in a row would have been mentally unrealistic. 2 goals conceded in our last five games though, that's a brilliant record for us. We'll undoubtedly leak two or three against the Mackems, then. A 4-2 or a 5-3 would be cracking. I'd still regard that as a hammering. Reckon it'll be 2-2.

Syrette Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Its a derby, I imagine its a very different game of football to players on both sides (particularly those who've been with both the clubs for a while) with an intense atmosphere and vibe you only get from playing your bitter local rivals. Be interesting to see how Chopra does. Tell you who I'd like to score actually, someone like Taylor, just to see his celebration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Like i said earlier in this thread, alot of football is motivation and getting your big players to perform. Luckly this is one game that i don't see this being a problem, especially with KK in charge. Therefore, with our FAR better players going out there all guns blazing i suspect we should win, hopefully by a nice margin too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShearMagic Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Fucking pumped for this. I know it sounds negative, and I'd love it, love it if we beat them, but I'd settle for us not losing. I can't think of anything worse than losing to them, oh, and the fact that if we do, they'll go above us in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
