Big, big game. Inexplicably I’m looking forward to it. We’re good enough to go there and win. What will actually happen is anybody’s guess! |  | |  |

You're a Dale fan. A little bit of masochism is in all our DNA. Something they put in the water?
Edit: Prediction - no goals conceded in first 70 minutes by us. Expecting a draw, hoping for a win. [Post edited 23 Feb 2021 11:38]

No - high scoring I think - particularly if big Jim is back in defence. Still hoping/praying for a win! |  | | |

Will McShane be risked for two games in a week ? Certainly hope so. | | | |

If he can only last 45 minutes. Do you play him the first or second half? | |

Definitely the first half if that was a genuine choice - it'd give us a platform to build on for the second half. |  | | |

Definitely the first half. Our biggest wins this season have come when we've scored very early, and in our most disappointing defeats we've conceded early. Whether it's confidence, or inability to break down a team protecting a lead, we play very differently depending on if anyone scores early on. |  | | |

That's the key.....DO NOT CONCDE EARLY and give ourselves a bigger mountain to climb.
We grew into Saturday's match in 2nd half...we need a similar pattern tonight. | | | |

Excellent choice, fingers crossed he is available for selection. I was looking at the table for this point in during the 18/19 season. Having played 29 games we were 2nd in the LO7. Gillingham were above us on GD with a game in hand. Bottom 4 all with a GIH were
Plymouth 30
Bristol Rover's 28
Bradford 27
Wimbledon 23.
Walsall were 15th with 35 points after 28 games played
Scunthorpe 16th having played 29 games on 34 points. | |

Well, the Cobblers are due a high scoring home match.
After 14 league appearances their tally is 8 goals.
Their leading scorer, one time bury favourite Danny Rose, has 4 league goals (in 22 appearances). | | | |

Agree first half. Then release Roberts as offensive change, he's due a goal  | |

Think we will miss McShane in defence and Lund in midfield. A lot expected of McNulty and Grant in what is a must-not-lose game. In fact, it is arguably a must-win game. |  |

Not sure how we'll line up could be 4-5-1 potentially and that might make sense with no height up top maybe the ideas to over run the midfield and get forward quickly. Think we'll struggle if it's the usual 4-4-2 with Humphrys and either Newby or Grant up top with him. | |

Feels like BBM is rotating McLaughlin and Mcshane with the Saturday - Tuesday games. | | | |

Don't let that Plymouth defender see you talking about bloody 4-4-2! | | | |

He did mention something about that in Saturday's post match interview. | |

Doubt it, surely be Morley Shaugnessy and Rathbone as the main midfield core with Newby and Grant given more freedom to get forward. | |

Was thinking the same. McShane, Baah, Done, Roberts on the bench. However keep ourselves in it early doors & that's a quality bench to use.
Just need Jim to have an error free non-nervy game, or a pig to fly over the ground [Post edited 23 Feb 2021 18:51]
