The Poolie Bunker

I usually give it a full day so I can get it out of the system, agony listening to that like, particularly as for the first twenty minutes the commentary was patchy at best. Our rass learned many new colourful words last night.

So what?? Level on points at the top, no need to look over our shoulders, Walsall have to do that now and Swindon can't catch us. As I remember from the away game, Bristol Rovers play decent football on the deck which plays right into our hands. They can't sit back for a point, it puts them in danger of dropping out of the play offs if Stcokport win and so there'll be gaps and chances aplenty. They haven't got a great away record anyway and our home form is spectacular. Dimi needs a clean sheet and Phillips needs to concede if Dimi's to get the Golden Gloves as well for a bit of spice.

The 'other' game has got draw written all over it. Neither dare lose. Both want desperately to win. How do you settle down and play football in those circumstances?? It'll be a bizarre game that's for sure.

I'd play:

Dimi
Barron Clark Williams D Humphreys
Brown Boland Liddle Porter
Williams E Hignett

Subs: Foley, Provett, Bullock, MacKay, Jones

Go for the 8-0 and wipe that goal difference out just in case!!

Is Hignett still around?

him ali g and mickey barron were sat in front of us yesterday so yes he is
mind he can eat like i thought dibbs had nicked a pools tracksuit at first the number of pies he ate

In that case:

Dimi
Barron Clark Williams D Humphreys
Brown Boland Liddle Porter
Williams E Fireball C

I quite like the look of that team but perhaps Sweeney for Boland and recall Proctor for Fireball - just joking Chip, just joking.

Well I wasn't going on about him, I was as puzzled as anyone else when we gave him a short term contract. But he's here and DW thinks he should be. Good enough for me.

But I'm told he's fit, he's got some quality touches, he's got an old wise head a la Gordon Watson and Marco Gabbiadini, who were also old and crocked and did us no harm whatsoever, and I think in a pressure cooker game like next weekends he'd be a good asset.

But in a race for the shirt Mr Chip, I'm sure you'd be at the front.
