Leuth

Empty platitudes like 'the team needs its leader'...really? So what explains our good record over the last few months?

GAME TIME! Come on you Addicksssssss! #cafc

Leuth

I'll tell you who the team doesn't need. Its washed-up former Premiership midfield sack of potatoes, Darren 'he'll bloody score now I've said this' Pratley

Feel sorry for Parker. Much better with Taylor than Igor who I fear has lost it.

Blue shorts against a team who wear white and blue?...

Quite a defensive midfield on paper. Hope Bielik, Pratley and Cullen can keep out of each other's way.

Bielik not in mid

3-5-2 with Pearce, Bielik and BFG and CB

Dunno how I feel about either Dijksteel or Purrington as Wing Backs though

They both young and fit - so no problem covering the ground and tracking back.

Don't expect too much trickery and guile. But if they keep it simple and get some crosses in, they'll have done the attacking part well enough.

Yellow shirts against a team that wear blue and white.

KICK-OFF | 1' We are off and underway at the Memorial Stadium... #brfc 0 #cafc 0

And yeah, dropping Parker immediately? That makes no sense considering he offers far more of a physical presence than Igor in what's expected to be a battle

Not a platitude, not even an empty one.

It's how Bowyer described Pearce lately.

Leuth

OK let's see if I was right to moan

Cue international weather updates.....

2' The wind will play its part here today. A Bauer clearance from inside his own box just blew straight back again! #brfc 0 #cafc 0

Strong winds & chucking it down with rain here in NW England.
Glad I'm indoors!

Oggy Red

Grey clouds scudding across the sky, blowin' a hoolie down here in Sunny Cornwall.

Rain dreckly.

8' Cross from the left nearly finds both Reeves and Vetokele who were lurking, but a Rovers head gets on it first. #brfc 0 #cafc 0

Following from inside Printworks, I'll double drop if Igor scores

iaitch

Is it as windy as the memorable game at Yeovil a few years ago?

9' Good build-up play leads to Taylor winning a corner. #brfc 0 #cafc 0

Send some of that rain here. Hardly seen a drop in two months and running out of water.
