No match thread yet in what I think, in terms of automatic promotion is do or die.
For me this will a horrible mess of a game. An attacking team who crave the ball against a team who are playing with so little confidence that they play hot potato. It's like they have three seconds to get the ball as far away from them as quick as they can.
I really think this could be 4-0 and our hopes of automatic promotion put to bed.
Off the field incidents are proving to me that things are falling apart. At the start of the season Wheater said "we're being drilled like in the army" now he's out getting hammered after a disappointing display. Not saying he's to blame fornVelas poor behaviour but captain, senior player and any general friend would step in before it came to that stage.
Starting eleven: no clue.

Sadly OM I have to agree with you, we could end up getting completely battered by the Codmen. As far as confidence is concerned, I blame Parkinson entirely with his constant humpball tactics and complete failure to attempt anything different. Surely he has all week every week to try a different approach and see what his players were capable of but hasn't. He was just the same at Bradford where he also failed. Doing the same thing continually and expecting a different result is madness yet never does he learn this. I've made my feelings clear before and whilst I'll always support Wanderers I will make my protest by staying away until either he's gone or at least tried to consider a more effective approach. Sadly I don't expect to be seeing my team again for quite a while until common sense from the Chairman eventually prevails.

Well I'm the eternal optimist so let me be the first to predict a win.
Somehow, we have to eventually get back to the early season form.
This is almost a "must win" game -definitely a mustn't lose one.
I hope that the manager abandons the 3 at the back idea. Beevers, in particular, is so uncomfortable with this system that he looks a very ordinary defender whereas with 4 at the back, he and Wheater must be the best pairing in the league.
I notice that he played a lot of the fringe players in the U23s this week - Howard, Wabara, Trotter, Clayton, Solomon-Otabor. - and we won so who knows what the side will look like tomorrow.
I am working on the basis (prayer?) that we must improve on recent dreadful showings and that Fleetwood must eventually lose a game and am predicting a nervy 1-0 win.
I am missing a match for the first time in a while as the ticketing arrangements beat me after 3 separate attempts to get tickets so it's down to screaming Tony Kelly on Tower or "this is BBC Radio Manchester" every 2 minutes from Jack Dearden. I really hate listening to the matches on the radio as my nerves cannot stand it.

Well I totally respect your optimism David but favour realism myself. As far as getting back to the early season form, I'm assuming you really mean early season results because performances themselves have remained pretty much the same since day one against the Blades. Rubbish. Saying we must improve also seems like more hope than expectation. Parky hasn't changed his system for the last five years so why you should think he will do so tomorrow amazes me. I truly hope I'm misjudging him and he really does try something different. Even if we lost, as long as we put on an attacking, exciting, committed performance I genuinely think people would be satisfied but the constant, pointless, boring and unproductive punting up to an isolated Madine is just soul destroying. I genuinely commend you on your positivity but unfortunately I've had mine totally squeezed out of me by the most unenterprising manager we've had in many years. I can only see us getting a hiding so I'll go for a 1-3 loss and being run ragged.

As like last week the vibe I get from the pre match interview, especially with Parky is negative. Talking about small squads and injuries.
We're trying to bring in a midfielder but for me we can play any permutation of Vela, Derick, Moarais, Henry, Trotter and Thorpe if he is not injured. On top of that we have Solomon, Clayton and Perry.
We played only last Saturday. No mid week games. Early exits in all other comps.
Can't see quantity being an issue. Quality however is a different story.

Does he not realise that to keep complaining about not being able to bring in replacements is an implied criticism of what he has? We all know the squad has limitations but surely we still have more to offer that we're showing at the moment. Isn't it an indication that he's losing not just the fans but the players as well given the recent behaviour of Vela and Madine? Clearly, discipline and frustration is becoming a problem for everyone.

Pratley back and in straight away and captain too.
Karacan on the bench. Dervite in, not sure if he'll go to in at right back or whether Vela will go as full back.

I too was thrice frustrated trying to get a ticket, would love to have been going...recent form and team selection doesn't inspire confidence, and I agree with David M about the back three, although the lack of a fit right back has been an issue since Wilson's injury. The BBC has Pratley coming in, and Karacan on the bench, otherwise no change from last Saturday. If Pratley is up to speed it will be a bonus, but it is essential that possession and creativity are improved, otherwise a result will be very difficult. An attritional win will be welcome though, however it is achieved.

Half time 1-2 good first half still not sure about 3 at the back we just seem to be getting in each other's way. We need to press there goalkeeper a bit more cause he is being allowed to get to the half way line to easy. There goal took a wicked deflection but other than that good first half. Let's hope we can keep it going.
