0114 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 No doubt we have a better squad. My biggest worry is Wilder has them up for a battle and a fight and Carlos plays it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieB Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 If we beat them 4-0 or more will we sing "and we will fight forever more, because of boxing day, and the 24th of September"? That's what I really need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamK2292 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Form goes out of the window, it's about who wants it more regardless of squad quality. Wilder will get his lot up for it... My worry is whether Carlos will do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Carlos does his usual trick in the big games the reception from the fans will be unlike anything most of the players have experienced at Wednesday.

It had no effect when they walked out to 6,000 Wednesdayites at Deepdale and it being the first game of the season. If that made no impact what makes you so sure it'll not be too complacent next week? Hope I'm worrying over nothing but Carlos needs to be drilling into our players just what this means. Problem is to him it doesn't mean the same as it does to Wilder. We shall see and just hope we turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I prefer to take the wind out of the blunts sails at this stage. This banter business has the habit of biting you on the arris. I remember giving it the big one before we faced them after we'd been promoted in 91. On paper 4 or 5 goals to nil seemed reasonable. Us with one of the best midfield in the division. Them with...well. ..John Gannon and fat idler Glyn Hodges. ...us with some of the best defenders in England and them with.....Adrian littlejohn. Should have been no contest but we came away bloodied and battered physically and in terms of the score. No. I've been telling all the blunts I've met this week that they are firm favourites. They have momentum, they're in form, they have a blunt at the helm who knows what it means. They don't know how to reply. And if we do win....THEN they will be getting the full gun from yours truly.

With social media, the build up will give any new players a few clues to the importance of the game, and as soon as the whistle goes they'll quickly realise that's it's a bit different to playing Preston at home on a Tuesday night. So the answer to your question is yes, it is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I knew we were playing Cardiff today, but for some reason I had in my head we were playing Leeds on Tuesday. I have no clue where I got that from, but obviously it's not the case. HAD it been the case I would stick with what I had said! However, we are beating Cardiff at this moment in time, and I do actually think that a win today and if United lose (as they are at this moment also) then momentum plays a part. But yes, I made a howler and I don't know how! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Just watching Blunts hightlights from today. Happened to pause it one second in by mistake. Most pleasing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention Aldi has better coffee than Waitrose and a lot cheaper. You cant beat Alcafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
