v Tranmere

[Pikey McScum]

This crowd are fighting relegation in League 1, but the shitty pitch has already been referenced in OGS' press conference so that'll be the excuse for a crappy one nil win for us....

Yeah the pitch is shite so that'll be the excuse. Then it's City next week. Fun times

[swampash]

We could easily lose this, which might be a blessing in disguise.
The hobbit will expect a win, will rest some players ahead of the City game and will fuck it up.

Surprised this isnt on the tele... the bbc love a giant killing fa cup story.
With our form, injuries and the pitch, am really expecting a tough game.

We're no longer a giant.

Well relatively speaking I think it would still count!
Talk of bailly being ready to come back, is it just me, or is bringing someone,who has been out for how long with a serious knee injury, back in to play on a pitch this bad asking for trouble?

Saying that, this should be used as a chance to rest maguire for sure, though with the pressure mounting will ogs use it as a chance to rest some of those who need it?

Fyi..Looks like it is on TV..I had only checked bbc, but it's on bt sport

No Gomes. No Chong. However, it's okay because he's starting Andreas and Lingard.

Mind boggling. Honestly.

[jason_uk]

So perfect chance to rest some players, but nope, maguire and martial both start. No gomes near the squad, or amy youth prospects really.

Not sure what formation it is with Maguire jones and lindelof, are we playing a back 5 against tranmere?!

Pretty much a full strength selection based on who we have, so cant really afford to lose this one.
