If we can’t beat these at home we may as well get the sun loungers out

10-0. No jokes.

 

[Renton 21351]

 @ the title. Nothing less than 6 goals and 4 points is acceptable.

Just a thought, is this thread some form of Yorkie black op, we're playing a team from Yorkshire and the thread's been started by someone actually in Yorkshire..... Makes you think 🤔

[Tdansmith 3225]

We'll send them off to visiting the shit hole that is Sunland next season. They'll hate us for that.

 

3-0 Wilson hatrick.

Our record win is 13-0 in 1946. 
 

But, given how much the game has changed since then, we should probably temper our predictions accordingly. 
 

 

16-0. 
Hat trick for everyone. 
 

 

‘Appen.

Think this will be really tight. They will sit really deep I imagine, which we struggle to break down.

 

If we score early we will win 3-0 otherwise 1-0. Would be happy with either

[Holden McGroin 6533]

They seem to score a lot in their travels. I suspect they’ll take the lead first.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13804]

Aye, I think if we score first, we’ll take control similar to games against Palace and Burnley here but the longer it stays goalless, they’ll fancy it

[PaddockLad 17087]

Back to a back 4…. Hall and Tino start…

[Chaser 1204]

Good. Barnes dropped to bench which is surprising. I know he didn't have a good game midweek but overall some of his attacking play has been first rate. Murphy may be preferred for his work rate in protecting Tino. 

[wykikitoon 19911]

Howe maybe protecting Barnes a bit with the two games close together.

[Holden McGroin 6533]

I don’t think he rates Barnes that much. Another one that Howe probably didn’t want.

[NJS 4371]

Making the subs more likely to influence the match imo. 

[toonotl 2956]

I'm not sure Howe doesn't rate him. It'd be hard not to as he's had some stellar performances for us. I would guess Barnes' impact off the bench contributes to the decision. Perhaps a bit of a curse for Barnes being so effective as a substitute that that's something Howe would be valuing given the lack of other options from the bench. (Apart from a perpetually half-crocked Wilson.)

 

I'd much rather have Barnes coming on in the second half than Murphy. I like Murphy. But his game is similar to Longstaff in that his lack of quality is overcome (somewhat) by being a hard worker. And using that type of player as a substitute is kinda worthless. Could be wrong, of course. But I don't see Howe's treatment of Barnes as suggesting anything out of the ordinary.

[Holden McGroin 6533]

Whilst I agree that he is a great option off the bench I’ve made this assumption by the way he talks about him in press conferences. 

[Gemmill 44412]

Ashworth was supposedly not happy that Howe had final say on transfer deals. If Barnes is here, it's because Howe wanted him.
