it is an awful thing to think but there is a bit of me that hopes we get well and truly thrashed tomorrow which will really show the club up for what it is a fucking mess

Yes, it is awful, get out the sun and lay off the booze for the rest of the day
Why is Bowyer still rolling out this bullshit promotion aim chat.
We are sinking without a trace and have a lower league 2 midfield and a lower league 1 frontline - who is he trying to kid?!
It's for the benefit of the players. He's trying to build confidence and give them something to aim for. I'm really not sure what else he can do?
Yes but you can build confidence without being unrealistic.
I’m sure Rochdales or Accrington’s gaffer isn’t saying they are going for promotion to why are we?! We have as much hope as them quite frankly!
Before a ball is kicked he has to sell the idea that anything is possible. It's his way of attempting to get the most out of the players. Especially as so many of them are inexperienced.
What's the worst that can happen? We go down? That's more likely to happen if he says 'aim for mid table lads'.

f f s .. yeah, Bowyer should tell the team before the season starts that they are a bunch of fucking useless losers and they, the club and the fans are not worth a toss and CAFC will soon be playing back in the Lewisham League fourth division .. honestly, some 'fans' .. like these, who needs enemies
Just got to the hotel here up in Sunderland after missing the connecting train from Newcastle as it was delayed when we got to York.
The weather here is crap and been raining for a bit today. The area around Sunderland city centre isn’t that nice, but I am still hopeful of a result tomorrow.

Did you actually read my post?!
My point was the Accrington and Rochdale will not be rolling lines like that out. We didn’t when we were promoted to the champ last time.
It isn’t being defeatist - it’s making sure they don’t feel like they have failed if they come 16th in League One. Personally I would bite your hand off if you offered me 16th - relegation will finish the club off so if we avoid that the players are heroes

I did read it .. 'Bowyer and promotion bullshit' .. your assessment of the Lancashire clubs was on another post
It makes me think that JFC is hurt, Taylor is not ready for the bench, and Ajose is off. Alternatively, there are more injured players than we know about. Either way, it's really bad.
The only other fit player who has featured in pre-season is Blumberg. Including him would mean two left-footed center backs on the bench (and one on the pitch) plus a left back but he has to literally be better than nothing.
Edit: There's also Doughty
Edit 2: According to the match preview Pratley and Taylor both miss out which means, as best I can tell: Phillips, Solly, Bauer, Pearce, Page, Lapslie, Maloney, Aribo, Marshall, Grant, Hackett-Fairchild Sub: AMB, Sarr, Blumberg, Mascoll, Doughty, Morgan, Ajose

It's always nice when you get those little moments where you realize footballers are just like you.
I’m sure Rochdales or Accrington’s gaffer isn’t saying they are going for promotion to why are we?! We have as much hope as them quite frankly!

1-1 draw.
Wondered on another thread earlier in the week if that would happen and that we should be prepared to expect it

"He [Bowyer] does not have enough players to name seven substitutes this weekend"
Given that I have the team as: Phillips, Solly, Bauer, Pearce, Page, Lapslie, Maloney, Aribo, Marshall, Taylor, Grant
Subs: Maynard-Brewer, Sarr, Mascoll, Pratley, Morgan, Ajose, Hackett-Fairchild

No mention of JFC being injured.
