manc_don Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Well, at least the beer should be good…such a shame that our first group stage game is probably going to be an absolute horsing. Feels odd just hoping that something will change but I’m not seeing any green shoots just yet. a counter attacking strategy will probably work here, just not sure we have the team to play it. Unless they’ve been fooling us all along Regardless, hoping that all those making the journey across have a class time. Sounds like there should be a decent number at least. out bed work work 5-0, no dons scorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 As Al said I have the absolute fear about this one. We don’t have the players to play the pressing game suggested by others. Frankfurt will have technically superior and fitter players in every department and we don’t even look like we have 11 fit players. I would almost be tempted to stick out a second string, take the inevitable doing and keep first 11 fresh for vital game against County on Sunday. Oot Work flat or maybe pub Flat 5-0 no dons scorer. Despite the above pessimism I am still gutted I can’t go and hope those who are have a great trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to get to Helsinki but can't make that either. I'll go to the knockout rounds. Hopefully Robson will contact Martindale this week to get a crash course in shitfesting. Failing that, he could get him to deliver a truck of happy pills for those that make the trip. Take the heat off the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Just realised that as my office has moved out from City centre I am not even going to get to see the game. As it’s a 1745 kick off. Not going to say if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
