You've already beaten his team, didn't hammer them though.
FWIW, I don't fancy us this weekend although with Rovers there is always a chance we might put together 60 decent minutes and hang on for the other 20.
On the flip side, I recall many, many Wire fans coming on here telling us they'd put 80 past us about 4 years ago...
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Shudder.
Last year's quarter final made up for it in my mind.
Anyway, I fully expect a tight game on Sunday. Doubt either team will run away with it. We will lose another match soon, I'm sure, as I don't think we're that good to go the rest of the season unbeaten. We have been really lucky with injuries (bar Briers) this year and that helps.
If Westwood is back, that might just tip it in our favour. Ben Harrison was out on his feet on Monday and Louis played 65 minutes for the second match running. With Briers back, we can use Grix in the pack though which helps with the rotation.

Think youre underestimating the effort that the patched up FC side put in.

I thought Wire looked a good side against us, inventive in the backs and tough in the forwards. That said had we had our first team out I reckon we'd have taken them.
Think it will be close again this week after Rovers gaining a confidence boosting win but I would say Wire to win by 10/12 points.
I think we need to back up after a good win. I've no doubt that we have the players capable of winning, it's just a question of them all being on the park in the right positions with the right mind set. Something we have had difficulty achieving this year.

Whats wrong with buying T shirts with your teams players on? I have Longy one too,Plus a great one of Knocker Norton. So less of the insults please.
As for the match,being neutral ( ) I reckon it will go down to the Wire.
