Groundhopping Owl Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 A roaring triumph of an OMDT mi'lud, I fully back you to reprise this role for the foreseeable future. Anyway, FOOTBALL. For those of you (un)lucky enough to go to Preston last week the season may have started there, but seeing as we were crap and this is our first home game, let's just write last week out of history and treat this as the new dawn of a glorious, promotion-winning anniversary season that secures our return to the promised land. Returning to reality and my endless reserves of cynicism for a moment - there's a lot riding on this one. Anything other than a comprehensive win will fail to quell the unrest among the fans. There's nothing like unrest to set you up for the sort of early season turmoil that totally derails automatic promotion campaigns, and Christ I don't want to do the play offs again. Carlos needs a thumping win to get some positivity going, but the championship is a league that gets better every year and there just aren't any sides who will roll over for you. I'm praying that Carlos pairs Hooper and Fletcher up top for maximum goal threat as it's becoming increasingly obvious that those two are our best pairing - Winnall to be deployed as a super sub if need be. With Forestieri reprising his role on the wing (do as you're told lad) and home advantage inspiring the players to assert far more control over the game, we should get the win we need to start the season properly. Either that or they'll gag on the pressure and QPR will mug us while the Carlos out brigade screams blue murder COME ON WEDNESDAY!!! Wednesday 3-1 QPR (Mackie 20, Hooper 24, Boyd 66, 73) 26,305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it will never happen. No reson for wallace not to start, he has been one of our most consistent players for me and possibly underrated by some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always fancy his chances of popping home a 25 yarder when he pops up centrally. Think we all too easily peg him in a a right winger and nothing more. He's got that bit of needle about him too. That experience. He also reminds me of Roger the dodger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 hopefully a positive performance and good win - 2 or 3 nil. Take some confidence and momentum into the Sunderland game and a six points' return from these two game would put on a good track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Whoa, whoa, whoa, this isn't a Pauli thread? Well done Lord Snooty, an excellent effort I am sure, I hope you've included some posh totty? Needless to say, I still haven't read it. Not reading the matchday thread is one of my matchday superstitions, including patting a police horse on the nose as we all do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woozie Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 3 points and a convincing performance please Wednesday, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling Wolfe Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Well done Snooty, a different angle but just as informative and probably closer to the truth than the legend pauli's threads last season. Let's hope we gat off to a good start at home with a 3-0 win and a performance to halt the moaning. UTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan93 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 All I want today is more urgency about us and a tempo. We had zero against PNE. We need to challenge for 1st and 2nd balls and press. Just the simple things in football win you games. CC says our fans have a 'responsibility' - Yeah, 5,700 fans turned up last week mate and the team was woefull. I'd like to think CC would go for this team selection below, however I'm not the manager! Haha. I can see him dropping Rhodes today, whilst FF will continue to distrupt our team and get his own way like a baby.

Stan Dupowls Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 An absolute blast of a yarn Lord Snooty! I look forward to a season of ripping satire from your informed quil. On the footballing front, Reach at left back for me please as Pudil seems to be losing all pace and I generally concur with groundhopping owl. Only a thumping win will do today, so Bannan needs to be his positive forward thinking Version, not the pass it square or backwards version we got last season. Fessi and a sharp Abdi for me could still create bundles for a forward. Wins cover up all the cracks in the fans made by poor signings, late controversial shirts and weak money raising schemes. Lose today and more knives will be out.....maybe even my own.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalamunda Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Apparently you should always waste your first shot so you know how accurate your gun sights are, then you adjust your shot and hit a bullseye every time. I prefer to believe that Preston was the wasted first shot. QPR will therefore lose by 2 today and Rhodes will score for Sheffield Wednesday football club... and everyone will love the new kit to boot.

Saxondale Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 My gut says a frustrating 90 minutes of them trying to stop us playing and hitting us on the counter resulting in either a 0-1 defeat or 1-1. But I'm hoping for 5-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judas Atkinson Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Nice one theowlsman. Now if we all were to pat a police horse on the nose pre match we may become unbeatable at home, and the animal rights activists will have more to think of than horse protection on August the 12th!!
