Tough 12 days ahead, and then some

Post by The Cincinnati Kid »

Never mind Klopp and Guardiola whinging, we've got 4 games in 12 days and the most important one, Blunderland at home, is the last one.

Scunny at home in the Whatever Trophy tomorrow.
Barnsley at home in the FA Cup on the 25th
Lincoln away on 28th, tues nite game
Blunderland at home on the 1st.
3 home games too....hope y'all have been saving yer pennies.

Not to mention that after Blunderland, we have 6, yup, 6! other league games in the short month of February between the 8th and 29th,

Just as well we have a strong bench. Much better position than last year.

Yeah, the constantly changing the team critique of Kenny might pay dividends over the next 6 weeks. 10 games in 39 days will require some line up juggling fer sure

Jack will surely get a run out tonight and I hope Kenny plays Ollie Hawkins up front so he can remind the manager (and a lot of fans with short memories) what an effective job he does up there. I'd love to see them both in the starting line-up for Barnsley.

Whilst few members of the this year's team are automatic selections, there is little to choose between options for many positions. Most of the squad have had time out of the starting team at some point, and so have played fewer games than last year. Really only Lee Brown and the mysterious Bryn Morris are injured. Jackett should be able to make the most of squad rotation for the rest of the season to ensure that we are better rested than most of our rivals, even if we are still in two cup competitions.

Totally agree.

I suppose there's an enforced change on Saturday with McGeehan?

Well, 4 wins from the 1st 4 fixtures I posted about. Might as well ride the streak and post the rest of the Feb fixtures which is now 8 games (1 down 7 to go) in the short month of Feb as the EFL game has been added to my original post.

1st Blunderland home WIN
8th Tranmere away
11th Coventry away
15th Shrewsbury home
18th EFL semi Exeter home
22nd Fleetwood away
25th MK Dons home
29th (must be a leap year) Rochdale home

BTW, 8 STRAIGHT WINS!...Does anyone know what our record is?

The Coventry game will be the toughest of the lot. Win that and we will win the lot.

It would be wonderful to beat Coventry in the 6 pointer on Tuesday and thereby seal our record 10th consecutive win this year. I actually think that we can do just that PUP
