    Scrappy 2-1 win for us. Preston will be looking to get at least a point on the board but I think we will be playing with a confidence after the two league games. 
    Campbell and Leaburn scorers

    Millwall and WBA both have potentially difficult games to get 3 points today. Could we be top at 5 o'clock??

    The chance to go top of the Championship for 1 week only, would make the Pollyanna's and the catastrophizers come together.

    Let it be so people don't get soaked 🌧️ for nothing.
    Another 3 points for CAFC against our Nemesis please. 9 from 9 and we get cover at CB as Sichenje is long term and Burke is hardly ever fit.

    Enjoy the journey.

    Only if we win. Still not sure what to expect especialoy with a potentially makeshift back 4 but hoping Chalobah and Bell both have another injury free game, carey starts to make some correct decisions and Cov, TC, Leaburn, Grant, Mcnamara, jones, Mesik all carry on their good run of form. If all that happens and Okonkwo also has a good game, we could win 😃

    It’s not that makeshift really .  One in, one out .  Billy has 2 more starts in the championship than Mesik.

    Last season's outlook: wheels have come off, first of 3 defeats on the spin today.
    This season: draw or narrow defeat and move on to the next one.

    We can win this if we win the physical battle.

    We have enough up front, but we must dominate the middle and try and control possession.

    I would play JRC over Carey, because he a stronger. Worried about injuries too, but not a game for lightweights like Apter, Knibbs and Docherty, in my opinion.

    Will be a hard fought game with a 1-0 result either way, or more likely a 0-0

    Hopefully pick up where we left off at West Ham. Big game needed in the middle from Coventry and Chalobah 👌

    Not making it to the Valley today. Got some stuff on but a bit gutted to miss it. I reckon league momentum will continue with a win. 3-1. TC, Leaburn, Jones.

    Would live to get out first clean sheet. Bit with Big Billy out I can't see that happening. 

    Leaburn
    TC Carey Grant
    Chalobah Coventry 
    Bell Mesik Jones McNamara
    Okonkwo

    That’s the only side we can pick and still looks good .

    I'm still hoping we've been cute in not announcing it and we'll see Tyler Bindon on the team sheet.
