Just another game?

[JimmyConway]

I have had it in my mind we beat Hull this Saturday even after Ipswich loss. Might be a bit of false bravado not sure but just have this feeling we finally get our first win.

Does it work like that I am not sure or is it a case when your at the bottom you just can't buy a break until it's to late? We've seen it before a penalty missed a dubious penalty conceded a sending off? type of things that can go against you when your struggling for a result.

If we find ourselves level pegging come last 5-10mins. Finger nails at the ready?

Keep hearing one game two games who knows but I would imagine there is a reluctance from owner/s to pull the trigger when you consider the transfer policy we adopted summer just gone but likely to be head over heart decision has to be made?

Not one for normally thinking this game is bigger than any other game but this does feel pretty significant.

Yeah, this is a 'big' game, not just another game.  I had posted earlier in the week in one of the threads that I felt the lads will come through tomorrow with three points.  Not sure what score would look like or how many goals FFC can score, but at days' end I still think we see three points.  These guys are professional athletes, professional footballers, and they know their backs are against the wall, and a positive result is needed.  Especially playing at CC.  Methinks a win.

Definitely an important game but not a season defining one. I'm sure the players will be up for this & start getting our season back on track.

I think in a way the  players should try to take this game in their stride, not get too anxious and hyped up, but try to perform their roles they have practised in training, keep doingall the good things we have done in our attacking play in the previous games, with the end result of putting the ball in the net!
And avoiding the defensive errors that have undermined us so much this season so far.

I definitely feel we have the ability to win this game.
COYW!!!

We have not been good at putting the ball in the net this season. Our much hyped new striker has, so far, failed to shine in that department. Most of our shooting has been hurried, because it takes place in a crowded penalty area. Only Sess has scored from outside the box (I think?). That is the result of a slow build-up/possession based game, coupled with a lack of physical presence up front. We will need to score early tomorrow if we are to defeat Hull's defensive, long ball, style, and force them to push forward. I think we will need to score twice to beat them and even that won't be enough if we go defensive in the final quarter. I'm disappointed that Palacios hasn't been used more as he looks strong and has a good shot in his locker. I suppose he is untried at this level, but to me, he has looked more like a striker than a winger in his few outings.
