Need a win today. Not in a 6 pointer kind of a way but if we lose to Exeter I can’t see a way back to any resemblance of a decent season without major decisions being made.
I do think we will win though but we need to start putting chances away.
Probably after games at the end of a season, the NFL has a silly name for the day after the playoffs are confirmed as it tends to be a sack fest for those who haven't
Wanderers TV is telling me that the match isn’t available to stream in my country, I’m in the U.K. I thought as it was a bank holiday that normal restrictions don’t apply.
That looks like a return to 5 at the back to me... Away at Exeter who haven't won a game since mid September. What do they can the definition of madness?
Ah come on…. what on earth is that line up? I understand we have to rotate but reverting to a back three which includes two 36+ year olds. Grimmer isn’t exactly the most agile either. This could be painful. He could be in a lot of trouble if we lose this. Relying on his mates to save his job? Worrying
Looks like 5 at the back to me, KVY, Grimmer, Keogh, JJ and Leahy. Ridiculous, if we lose today starting with this team Blooms is going to be in big trouble with the fans. Is that the slowest back 3 in the league ?
Strange looking line up. Surely not reverting to a back five. Let’s hope we win who scores the most goals battle as opposed to more xg, crosses, passes in the opponents half etc which Bloomfield is infatuated in!!!!!
If it’s a four with JJ and Wheeler as traditional full backs it’s hardly any more exciting. Really worrying how we’ve assembled a squad with a decent chunk of quality yet we’re providing starting line ups with today’s lack of quality.

Anyone at the first game might still be suffering PTSD. Let’s hope for a better outcome. I’m backing a 3rd 1-1 on the bounce.
Top tier badge that. 9/10

Exeter haven't won since 16 Sep. We've not won since 7 Oct. What gives?
Both teams form makes this a relegation 6-pointer despite neither side being in the dropzone.
0-0 or 4-4 nailed on. (0-4 would be nice)
Just for fun, has there ever been a game that at the end both managers have ended up getting sacked?
(not calling on that to happen at all, but we both seem to be in an awful run of form and it’s made me wonder)
Ooh good question
Garry Monk and Carlos Carvalhal both sacked after Middlesbrough beat Sheffield Wednesday in 2017
Getting a win and still sacked? That harsh.
I remember losing 1-0 down there one Easter… it was a miserable drive back. Let’s hope the travelling fans have a more pleasant drive home today.

That's a mistake - it's definitely available in the UK https://www.wwfc.com/news/2023/december/23/watch-boxing-day-clash-live-on-wandererstv/
But there's always Vipienne!

Same message here but quickly resolved by hopping on the VPN. Not ideal for those unfamiliar with the workaround.
With no Boyes I reckon 4 at the back with Wheeler RB

Holy fuck
It's the same back 3 who looked dreadful against Shrewsbury. I'm not feeling optimistic.

John Eustace got sacked despite winning his two previous games 4-1 and 3-1!
MB fed up with the M25?
Hopped over to Paris, still can’t get wanderers tv
He really hasn't done himself any favours today if we lose this one
Max
Kvh grimmer Keogh JJ
Scowen Leahy
Sadlier Phillips Wheeler
Vokes
Is probably how I'd go with that XI, not at all sure that's how we'll line up though.
I'd be even more worried if JJ is at full back !
BBC says 3-4-3.
Might be a 6 pointer in that they get 6 points off us this season.
