It's the hope that kills you isn't it? 11:00 - Mar 19 with 1199 viewsclive_baker

Imagine if we really turned it on and beat Pompey tomorrow. That would put us 6 points above them. Hopefully Fleetwood has acted as the rocket some of the squad needs and the blank canvas Cook needs to make the changes he wants moving forward. Games in hand over Charlton. Loads of the teams around us playing each other over coming weeks so plenty of points will be dropped. Decent run in for us. Full week on the training ground for Cook before Wigan, with no midweek distraction. Norwood back. KVY back. Hawkins on his way back, he could be handy. Downes likely back for the final few games + PO's. Thomas & Harrop supposedly talented, is it too much to ask that 1 of them comes in and contributes?

The sun is shining. We're only bl00dy well going up aren't we?



*until 1:45pm tomorrow when I'll be putting my fist through the laptop screen at an abject first half display.

I just can't bring myself to get excited about Hawkins becoming available. Yay.

Like you I'm hoping for a better display.
Praying for a Portsmouth OG because that's our best hope for winning the game.

Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

What kind of result are you expecting when we will probably be camped in our own half again. If we can not get forward and force a higher press then the best we can hope for is a 0-0. If we are relying on the "old heads" to inject some pace and attacking play then forget it.


Players like Jackson will have to take the initiative and start creating his own chances with turning a defender and running at goal. We have to score goals to win, without gifting the opposition soft goals . It really is as simple as that.

It depends. Cook has insisted that he's about building partnerships over anything else. The problem is we have so many players due to leave in the summer and any partnership build will likely vanish in the summer. He should be prioritising points instead even if that maybe means we have to play for bore draws against better sides than us such as Fleetwood, Portsmouth, and so on rather than get beat easy and drop points humping it up top with no aim, which has been what we have seen so far under Cook.

On the basis that we were pathetic against Fleetwood, I expect we'll get a performance tomorrow. Then be awful at Wigan.

I know what you mean, but he's an effective player at this level who can really help to control games. Too often we lack a physical presence up front, most of our forward players are knocked off it by a stiff breeze.

Hawkins was influential in the beginning of the season run of wins.

Never be afraid to share your thoughts.
