Yorkie Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 A lot of posters in here could have egg on their faces come March 4. You can say that for any game. I won't have any shame going into the Mackem game feeling confident, given our record against them... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 it's disrespectful to Sessegnon to ever put Ben Arfa in same class as him. Sessegnon is head and shoulders better than him. Lolzzz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 They won't come here and successfully shut up shop and hit us on the break. Their players won't be able to handle the pressure, they never can. They've got a much better man manager and motivator now, though. Won't make any difference when they're trying to defend for 90 mins in this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Got faith in Pardew for the derby. One of his strengths is definitely pre-game planning and I think it'll be very similar to Stoke away, they have one set in stone way of playing and rarely stray from it. If things are going against them O'Neill isn't tactically capable enough to change things like Jol did a couple weeks back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subbing on a quick striker when opposing team plays a high line is hardly a ph.d worthy move Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, it's the mackems, we're at home and we've got every chance of fielding our best 11 bar Saylor. I'm entitled to be confident. Secondly, if we lose a home derby being wrong on the internet will be the least of my worries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I can see the derby being an absolutely intense experience in a month's time; first time i'm gonna go all out to get myself a ticket. Them improving will inject an even bigger atmosphere than normal, i reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that like - match-specific tactics seem to be a particular strength of Pards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimplyAnth Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I honestly can't believe their form since O'neil took over, keep expecting them to slip up. Still it would be daft not to be confident in the derby, this run they're on, albeit excellent, is taking something away from our own success.

Sifu Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 The Derby is going to be a tough game like, that I'm certain of. I'm actually pretty confident that we'll just about win it too. Hopefully we'll have the proper first team playing on the day - this, along with the atmosphere at St. James' will be key to a win for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Fancy a draw unless either team has a massive drop in form before then. You'd imagine / hope we'll really push on once the African lads are all back in the side though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 By its very nature football ebb and flows. They're on a fantastic run, full of confidence, scoring goals and keeping clean sheets. It will turn back for them as they're not good enough to keep winning week after week. They'll have a run of games where things don't go their way soon enough and they'll drop points in gas they're currently winning. Sets the derby up though. Both teams can go into it without worrying about dropping down the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
