mikejaxer Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 When was the last time we lost in a derby? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The relegation season when Richardson scored the winner from a free kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I think pretty much everyone (especially at the moment) would take a point in the away derby. Four points off the mackems is a good return considering how tense and unpredictable the derbies tend to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four points off the mackems is a good return considering how tense and unpredictable the derbies tend to be. Considering how poor the start of the season has been i personally wouldn't. I think that's what will happen but a win is definitely needed. Simmo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I think its there to win, they have been shite this season, even in the games they have somehow managed to gain a point (Arsenal, Swansea and Liverpool they barely had a shot in). If Colo and Taylor are back to contain Fletcher, it would be massive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 So far this season, including friendlies, the mackems have won 3 (Morecambe, MK Dons & Wigan) from 12 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 This might just end up being the worst game of football the world has ever seen. Would take a point right now, no fucking doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Set up like West Brom away last season and we will fucking batter them. Would love to see that. Can only see a nervy 4-4-2 though, with us scraping a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Krul Simpson Colo Taylor Santon Tiote Cabaye Jonas Ben Arfa Ci(Ba)sse Is how I expect us to line up by the way, same as usual. Looks so tasty on paper, hopefully we'll play some great stuff like we have been doing with it all year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take a point right now, no fucking doubt about it. The odds are on it being a shocker. Reading v Newcastle was one if the lowest quality PL games I've seen in a long time, but this could be worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 We've a solid run of fixtures after this, so could be a pivotal moment for us. I think we'll be up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 4-3-3 and pass the ball to eachother. Last season's home derby was similar. We played rubbish first half and were rightfully behind. Changed it at HT and brough Ben Arfa on (for good that time). Krul Simpson Taylor Coloccini Santon Tioté Cabaye Jonas Ben Arfa Ba Cissé With Cissé and Ba taking turns. = win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I wonder what the journey down will be like this year with the club charging for the bus and us being moved up into the upper tier of their pink stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 be interesting to see how they do it. maybe get off at the SOL stop to avoid walking round the whole ground? certainly be a lot more challenging than the last few times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I hope so, as poor as we have been I can't help but think a lot of it is down to us not being able to player 2 of Krul, Colo or Tiote together all season. We are cautious as it is but when 2/3 of the defensive core is missing we are going to try and protect the back 5 even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
