@Northstandvet Agree... and as such it kind of makes the renowned title of Aldous Huxley's 1932 bestseller springs to mind... in said would-be dystopian & absurd regard (i.e. us being the underdog here against the mighty mighty 2nd coming of Accrington Stanley?!) However, 1) despite us being rock bottom in our league, well they are factually not that awesome in comparison as in "just" currently a very very inconsistent mid-table side in their lower one, and 2) PLUS on pure form alone it really doesn't make very much sense at all... them being clear favorites odds-wise, as in their last 2 league games Accrington Stanley have actually tried there absolutely best to ehmmm *copycat* :-) :-) both our horrendous defending as well as our fairly "normal" (well " normal" if excluding the recent Millwall contest) anemic and/or uncreative attack! Thus a truly shambolic 0-7, is the reading of the goal stats for this historically named 3rd tier outfit in their last 180 minutes coming into this one... A form which in itself personally convinces me that we WILL get out on top Satirday! And additionally simply also because this is the first FA Cup tie in the "Post Muck Era" (cause if Muck was still here and with his well-documented utterly indifference to & abject record in both Cups, we would more than likely be losers!), at btw attractive 3.00 x times your money, currently. Might even have a rare clean sheet imho ...but ohhh then again: Considering not only our many poor defenders with among them at least Captain Calamity once again being named on our starting XI sheet, but also both of our goalies having displayed an excruciatingly season-long tendency to at key moments treat the ball as a 200 Celsius "Hot Potato"???!!!.. Hmmm then REALISTICALLY I think that we might actually concede after all LOL... so alas: 3-1 to us is gonna be my sidebet (to us as winners) for the actual result. | |
