    I'm going for a 25/1 prediction that Bordeaux will be winning at half time and Toon will take it at full time (after bringing the big guns on).

    ACS's Prediction
    I think we will start with a mix of youth and first teamers once again however Pards will be forced to bring on some of the big guns in the second half.
    I'm convinced we will win but I can't decide if it will be 2-1 or 3-2.


    So fellas... how are you calling it and what team do you think we will start with?

    I'd like to see Shola get a good run out TBH.
    Shola and Campbell could be a good shout.

    I think we should just play our best team as this constant juggleing of the squad is absolutely no help whatsoever.

    we are poor in the league, out one cup already and still getting injuries left right and centre and that's with them being left out for these encounters.

    We need a win and a side to rememeber how to play together fast or top 8 is going to be out of reach within 2 or 3 games.

    Actually I agree with most of the private's post. Though we aren't far off the top 8 now, without reaching top form.

    I'd just like to see us win with whatever team we put out.

    At those prices it would be nice to see a good crowd there to get behind the lads.

    I'm very concerned about what has happened with my tickets... Do season ticket holders get discount, did they sell me the wrong price, am I a wizard(which I refuse to discount based on the well reasoned logic and undeniable facts behind the assertion), or do I sit in a bar area and not notice because I'm not a (T)a(sh)lcoholic?

    I say very concerned... As long as I get in and don't have to watch another Reading type performance, I couldn't give a stuff...

    Don't think any of us want to see another Reading type performance.

    Bordeaux beat Lyon 2 - 0 today. Seems like this could be a tough game.

    With Man Utd on Sun 7th, the Mackems on Sun 21st, followed by Brugge on Thurs 25th and West Brom on Sun 28th they could all turn out to be tough games.

    Just hope we have no injuries with our already small squad.

    Demba Ba said on twitter that he was studying Bordeaux's game to see how o deal with them, so perhap thats a clue that he is expected to play/start.

    Is the face palm there for obertan or gosling or just tactically placed for both?? haha

    Hope so we need to put out a decent team but i have a feeling we won't. Desperately need to hit the ground running in this game and put in a solid performance to set ourselves up for the next few weeks.

    Originally was for Gosling, but since I didn't place it properly , it turned out between him and Obertan, I didn't bother to correct it, because....it's already correct.

    Gosling looks like he struggles in CM to me! not sure he's ready yet but his confiidence doesn't look right to me s maybe a goal might sort him out.
