Please win.

I'm hoping for a win, but think it will be a draw

[Richard E]

Sarr is injured for them, which is good news.

[Chris Smith]

Why is it a 7:30 kick off, have we gone back to 1975?

[Legion]

D 1-1.

It's the curse of Amazon Prime, I believe.

[cdbearsfan]

It isn't. Only two matches are on telly and both on BT Sport. Amazon Prime are done for the season.

I think they have one half seven and one quarter past eight game to allow people to watch both. Not sure why the non-televised matches have to kick off at half seven, though. Maybe something to do with overseas TV.

Think so.  My ticket cost 60p

Guilbert may be missing tomorrow. He's just posted an Instagram story of a very swollen jaw on one side with the caption "fucking tooth". Hardly debilitating but does look painful.

A draw would be a step up. I'll go for that - one half poor, the other better and Grealish the difference to get our goal.

No - 19.30.

Fortunately there's no way this problem would affect our strikeforce.

[Three Spires Villa]

Win, win, win, win, win, win, please win

Ha, have to love the outright swearing.  Aren't footballers told to keep it clean and pravda-y on social meeds?

Aye. Nonetheless, the prospect of Elmo featuring again gives me shivers. And not in a good way.
