Keep a tight hold on Mitrovic, starve his supply line from the wings and we should be OK Sunday. Big game for all our central defenders (are you listening Figs!) they will dominate the ball but they have a weakness at the back that we can exploit with pace and quick breaks, need to improve our accuracy and early delivery to our forwards!

Woah there feller, one step at a time. A few weeks back only Sheep's financial clusterf@ck was keeping us off the bottom.
Enjoy the great football we are trying to play (and mostly succeeding), Enjoy the run of results, nothing wrong with aiming high, but the cliché of one game at a time has been working so well for us.
I've stopped looking at and analysing league table before games. ("If we won and they don't...etc") Just a quick glance at our position after our latest 3 points then onto next game. Not even looking who we play after it.
I think I have become unhealthily superstitious...listening to a Steve Cooper interview early on about "not even looking beyond the next game" it seems to be working though.. that and the mad bright shirts....
You say that but if we'd had the poor results of the begining of the seaaon mixed in with our results now then we'd definately be saying playoffs is a realistic goal.
If we can keep the sqaud as-is, ie keep Brennan and Wozza and keep Lowe and Spence fit then we have a real good chance of top six imo.

We have had a run of nice fixtures of teams either off form or low down the table too. This is the first game in a while against a team higher up (since Hudds which looks a great result looking back)
Ride the wave!

I think we'd be talking about a lack of consistency to he honest. We have still lost more than we have won currently.
But the one thing we do seem to have been is consistent. Consistently awful at start and now scarily Consistently good!! In the right order too.
I'm sticking with Coopers methodology for how far to look forward, as everything else he does seems to turn to gold. I bet he bought a tonne of Crypto currency 10 years ago too.
As I say it's a daft superstitious streak, but I'm too scared to change it...Still a tough game Sunday.

Superstition isnt as daft as you may think Zico.
Many players have their own superstitions before a match. Which sock and boot goes on first, a certain place in the tunnel before entering the pitch etc.
Just tell me please that you are not still wearing those same lucky underpants that you wore in 1978 :sick: :D

Harrison Reed is struggling with a calf injury ahead of Sunday so Tom Cairney will probably come in.
I was looking forward to the Colback v Reed match up in the middle of the pitch.

Is this game on the goggle box or was it moved because the Sadpies are at home on Saturday or both?

It isn't being advertised mate, so I guess its due to the Sads taking the Saturday slot instead of us.
I think it is absolutely appalling that the bigger side in the city has to move its games over to accommodate a non-league side!!

When there is a clash with both scheduled to be at home we alternate who switches days.
