I still haven’t shaken off this wretched cold and here I am again, in the early hours of the morning, preoccupied with phlegm and contemplating whether a phlegmatic approach by the team is required to counteract the potentially large home crowd.
But enough of science, what we really need, as last week, is some sort of sign. And on that front I have good news as a black cat genuinely ran across the road in front of me, from left to right, on the way home sometime around 5 o’clock. So, on the assumption that there is a 24 hour period of efficacy for this good luck, and as I didn’t win the top Euromillions prize, then I am convinced, to a Panglossian level, that it means we are going to win again.
I know Voltaire uses the character of Dr Pangloss to poke fun at the excessive optimism of G.W. Leibniz, but I don’t think that was very enlightened as he makes bloody good chocolate biscuits, and anyway Voltaire was French. UTG

I usually go for the classic home remedy of Honey, Lemon & whisky first thing in the morning.
It doesn’t work, but its nice. Some times I have it without the Honey & Lemon. 🤪

Really hope we build on last week's win. Can't stomach yet another false dawn and backwards step.
Personally think it'll be 1-1, which wouldn't be a particularly bad result. A win would be our best result if the season so far IMO - Bradford are a pretty decent side and we're away from home afterall.
Just anything but another loss.

You going to Bradford? I can't get there; got me garden to tend. |

I’m strangely confident today. I think 2 of our best players returning in Thomas and Nicholson is obviously huge. Add those to Anderson, Evans and Saunders and I think we’ve got more exciting playmaker style players going forward than I can remember us having for a long time.
I think Taylor and Harries seem to be forming a good partnership and with Belshaw playing well behind them I’m starting to regain a bit of faith at the back. Hoole has also obviously been a massive plus this year.
Slight concerns are in the lack of a natural goalscorer up top and the lack of energy in midfield, but at least that is replaced with some really strong experience.
I think if we keep the current lot fit and get Finley/Grant back we’ve definitely got enough about us to go on a decent run. 2-1 Gas win Today, Collins and Nicholson with the goals. UTG!

I'll be happy with a draw today.
Ive got a feeling he won't start Nicholson and Thomas and by the time he does bring them on it might be too late. Hoping I'm wrong of course.
Need to get at then from the start.
0-0

If all the 'feelings' about a win we have on match day threads were true, we'd be champions of Europe by now and playing in a 70,000 seater stadium.
Bradford are nothing special so far and I have a feeling we'll draw 1-1.
