Introduction to Forest Ipswich Discussion
00:00:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
every club, every day, the global sports podcast network. Here we go. Forest Ipswich crossover. Welcome back to the GSPN daily forest di page. It's me, Mark Jarvis, John and Molly and the brilliant Rob bins from Ipswich dude. How are you?
Ipswich's Recent Performance Improvements
00:00:19
Rob Binns
um I'm doing very well, mate. Like I was just said before, we sort of came on here that I'm doing a lot better than if you asked me that question a month or a month or so ago with the recent performances and results. And we'll see how it happens this weekend.
00:00:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. A hundred percent.
00:00:30
Rob Binns
and
Promoted Teams in Premier League
00:00:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Well, I mean, when you first got promoted, I looked at, you know, your team, there's a lot of players. I actually looked at Hutchinson for us to sign. And then you you came up and I was like, Oh, actually quite excited to see it between the premise. Nice to have a different team that isn't just Burnley West Brom Norwich, Burnley West Brom Norwich. Do you know what I mean? But then then I was also like, well with Hutchinson and all those players that we want to sign, we now won't because you know, you're in the Premier League, but you're starting to look good.
Brentford Game as Ipswich's Turning Point
00:00:53
Rob Binns
Yeah, it's it's it's been a real upturn. brent It was the Brentford game was the turning point, really, that although we didn't get the result in the end, so...
00:00:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:01:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, you threw that away big time.
00:01:02
Rob Binns
Yes. Yeah. so if There was two games in a row in less to the following week where we looked really good and then we got a silly second yellow card and the game just sort of flipped from there and we were then started hanging on and we're not very good at hanging on.
00:01:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know.
00:01:17
Rob Binns
We've done all right.
00:01:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, well, neither are we.
Injury Updates: Key Players' Return Hopes
00:01:19
Rob Binns
Yeah.
00:01:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've been falling apart very recently. Gibbs, White and Anderson both are injured, hopefully back for the Ipswich game. We think maybe they were rested against Arsenal with the Ipswich game to come.
00:01:24
Rob Binns
Hmm.
00:01:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Marley, you watched a lot of the Arsenal game thoughts.
00:01:30
Marley
Um, thoughts were awful awful awful. Ward Prowse you're never such a football pitch again and I fell asleep in the 80th minute because it was so awful.
00:01:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
What the 80th already three nil down fair play. I mean, that's that's good going.
00:01:45
Marley
Oh no it was before the third goal. I woke up and we were 3-0 down.
00:01:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Solid.
00:01:50
Marley
I had to watch, I actually had to watch the goal on the video that James sent of him in his son's reaction to it.
00:01:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, good afternoon, then.
00:02:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that's that's not a good side afternoon, but hopefully this weekend that will be better, but I think it's
Hutchinson's Rising Influence
00:02:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
going to be a good game. Rob, what are what are the dangers from Ipswich that we should look out for?
00:02:09
Rob Binns
Well, there's a lot sort of growing that really now that the confidence around team generally, but someone you've already mentioned when I talk about boosting confidence is Hutchinson.
00:02:20
Rob Binns
Obviously he's off the mark now, which is we've been waiting for. And obviously he's been waiting for that that elusive first goal. Sigh hand from the deflection, but we know he's got those strikes in the locker.
00:02:32
Rob Binns
He scored two in one game against Hull on the way to promotion last year that we know he's got it.
00:02:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
and what a game that was for ourselves out of the pub in London, saw it on the TV and was like, wow.
00:02:36
Rob Binns
And yeah. Yeah.
00:02:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Every time we touched the ball, it was like you got promoted. I was like phenomenal. And you signed him and could be a really good player for you this season.
00:02:45
Rob Binns
Yeah.
00:02:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you think with him and Jack Clark and they're not starting to kind of grow and kind of get used to the Premier League? I mean, Schmodik seems to have adjusted immediately. Do you think with those three starting to really kind of hit the ground running that you could be quite danger moving forward?
Ipswich's Enhanced Attacking Strategy
00:03:01
Rob Binns
think so. Yeah. We've seen a real sort of upturn in terms of activity in front of goal since that Brentford game, obviously we scored three. in that Brentford game. And then just that's where the's so we've sort of picked up there in terms of the...
00:03:15
Rob Binns
It's attacking has always been a problem in the build up to the season, whereas the last few weeks, we started talking about it in a positive way. And so we had a higher, even though we didn't win the game, where I definitely felt we could have done on Sunday, but that's our highest XG we've had all season.
00:03:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:29
Rob Binns
So we're clearly on the upward trajectory there and say Hutchinson is going to get that massive confidence boost.
00:03:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Against Man United as well. I know, I know, I know United have got a new gaffer, but you know, it's still a good team on paper.
00:03:34
Rob Binns
Yeah, exactly.
00:03:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
So having a high XG against them, them is good. Molly, go on.
00:03:41
Marley
um Basically ah there are two players I am wanting to ask you about.
Jacob Greaves' Impact Post-Hull Transfer
00:03:49
Marley
First one being someone who I want to know how is he adapting to the Premier League being signed from Hull and a very very promising player Jacob Greaves.
00:03:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm. Good defender.
00:04:01
Rob Binns
Yeah, he adapted, he took to it straight away. He was man the match that first game against Liverpool. He was unbelievable for sort of four or five games. A couple of mistakes started to creep in in the sort of West Ham and Villa games, but he was still probably one of our better defenders. And then, and then we've, we've, we've, we missed him to start with where we now he's been injured, but I have to say Burgess and O'Shea have stepped up massively and he's back. He was back in training last week. So fingers crossed we might see him whether that's,
00:04:30
Rob Binns
whether that's forest or maybe the next game after that, but he should be soon enough back. And he's a very good play.
00:04:35
Marley
Yeah.
00:04:36
Rob Binns
He's a Premier League player at the end of the day. He's, he's took to it straight away.
00:04:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:04:39
Marley
Yeah.
00:04:39
Rob Binns
There was no sort of period to where he needed to adapt. Like a lot of our squad I've had that there's, like I said, they were only sort of started to click into gear from that Brentford game a couple of weeks ago. Grooves is one who took to it straight away.
00:04:50
Rob Binns
It was unbelievable. And I'm really looking looking forward to having him back as good as Burgess. No show being in there, but There he's at, just extra bit of quality there, agrees, and you see it when he plays.
00:05:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mordaro has obviously worked with Vincent last season, Vincent company at Burnley.
00:05:02
Marley
yeah
00:05:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Very, very good defensive manager. Obviously one of the best defenders we've seen in the prem for a long time. Marley, who was the second one?
00:05:10
Marley
The second one is another player who I very highly rated last season and um my little cousin really rated him as well.
Chaplin's Premier League Adaptability
00:05:17
Marley
He actually had him on the back of his shirt but he doesn't seem by the looks of it to have taken to the Premier League quite as well. Connor Chaplin.
00:05:26
Rob Binns
Yeah, he had two really good games against Brentford and Lester, I think it was the other one. He had two where he sort of came into the team, looked really good, was quite a key factor in. And then he sort of either side of that, he didn't start very strong. he He played the Liverpool game, didn't look too great. And then Hutchinson sort of took over in that center and has made the role he's owned from there really. And then so he's had those couple of games and then we've had injuries sort of come back and he's dropped back out again he doesn't really look like he's gonna go and claim that place back really especially as Hutchinson's getting better and better every week by the looks of it he's yeah
00:06:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, yeah, Hutchinson's world-class though, isn't he? I think he's going to be like the next kind of Morgan Gibbs white in the Premier League. He looks really, really good. And I actually know quite a lot about Connor Chaplin because my dad's a Barnsley fan. So, um you know, I've watched him play many, many times and he's a good player. You know, he was a bit inconsistent for Barnsley towards the end, but we were all quite surprised to see him go. Do you think obviously signing in from Barnsley, you've taken him into league one, he's done well, gone up to the championship, smashed it with clear and McKenna. They seem to have a really good relationship. And then into the prem. Do you think he can make that step up?
00:06:29
Rob Binns
I think he can do, yeah. i just ah My worry with him is, I actually felt this towards the back end of the last season as well, is that he's the sort of player that when we're playing really well, he's fantastic and he has a good game, but it's them sort of gritty games that we had towards, he lost his place in the promotion run in last year to Hutchinson, he's not been playing that often in the Premier League.
00:06:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:06:50
Rob Binns
Those sort of gritty, tight games, he actually tends to be, if someone's gonna go missing and have a quiet game in those situations, that did always tend to be him. like he became a bit of a luxury player towards the back end of last year.
00:07:01
Rob Binns
Like you're playing a team, you're controlling the game and winning comfortably.
00:07:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, he needs that kind of
00:07:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
He needs that freedom to kind of.
00:07:06
Rob Binns
He's your best player on the pitch.
00:07:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, he needs the freedom to kind of flare, basically, essentially.
00:07:08
Rob Binns
Yeah.
Team Depth and Player Roles
00:07:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, um yeah, i I can see that.
00:07:11
Rob Binns
Yeah.
00:07:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
I can see that a lot. Another player that I've wondered about, I mentioned him earlier, Jack Clark, phenomenal for Swansea. That's for Sunderland last season. I mean, he was just so good. Can't seem to replace Wes Burns in the team, though.
00:07:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
What's Burns giving you that Jack Clark doesn't?
00:07:28
Rob Binns
Um, That's a tough question really, because it's and neither of them have really stepped up that much. ah We were just saying on our um our pot one of our pods earlier in the week reacting to that Man United game that when you saw Burns' name on the lineup against United, you felt it was a really massive game for him because he was probably top of the list of those that hadn't taken to Premier League football yet.
00:07:48
Rob Binns
He'd had that bit of a knock at the start of the season, which slowed him down, but he was probably the standout whose performance levels have dropped off.
00:07:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:55
Rob Binns
and had his best game in the season against United in my opinion and he was a real threat down that right hand side putting some really good crosses so the most notable one was that one where they lived a that one for a little fancy flick and Anana was levelled to it that he had his best game so I'd imagine he'd probably go in again but Clarke sort of looked is another one really that he's had little positive cameos here and there but I said it probably three or four weeks ago now and I haven't changed my opinion is that Clarke's problem is is he's the best candidate we have off the bench
00:08:27
Rob Binns
We have all these wingers.
00:08:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, game changer.
00:08:27
Rob Binns
And yeah, i have no I don't know who, particularly on that right hand side, like I don't know who starts on that right hand side. We've got various options.
00:08:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, fair.
00:08:36
Rob Binns
What I do, what I kind of look at, and but I look at the opposite way and I go, who's going to change the game for me if I bring him on for 20 minutes? The clerk is top of my list for that.
00:08:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:45
Rob Binns
So that sort of then kind of makes you think, I don't want to start because I want to save him for that last 20 minutes when defenders are tired.
00:08:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well,
00:08:51
Rob Binns
And that's what Burns sort of does. He can come on, knock a people out and then let Clark come on and toy with them when their legs are gone.
00:08:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, well, that's it. And I think well that's what we really struggled when we first came up was the depth, because you looked at our bench and half the time you looked at our lineup being defensive, um kind of under under Cooper, and you're kind of like, where's the threat? Like, where where's the where's the person off the bench that's going to change it? where Where are teams looking going? Like, where's the fear factor? And we didn't really have it. So having clock there is, is definitely a is a good player to have.
00:09:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Obviously, Cooper's now gone from Leicester as well too early in my opinion. But obviously, we're talking about Ipswich. So one person I do want to talk about Molly, have you got the adverts by the way, because my adverts are not working? Have you got the have you got the reads?
00:09:33
Marley
Not on the um not on dashboard but I can try and find the script and read it out if you want.
00:09:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is that all right? Yeah, because I've got I've got another it's which player i want to talk about what you find in it because my my reads aren't working. and But I wanted to ask you about a player I've been told a lot from it was which fans about and they were very adamant about this person being the next England left back and that's leaf Davis great goal early this season, by the way, unbelievable. And he looks really good. I mean, his crossing is outrageous. Is he is he genuinely
Leif Davis: England's Left-back Prospect
00:10:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
that good? Is he going to be the next England left back?
00:10:06
Rob Binns
He should be. that Whether he is or not it is a completely different question. That's down to, well, Thomas Tooch, I was going to say Lee Carsley, but for me, he has to be for me.
00:10:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Molly agrees, Molly's there.
00:10:16
Marley
I love Leaf Davis, honestly.
00:10:16
Rob Binns
and say way ah
00:10:18
Marley
I love him. One last player I do actually want to... And it's about the depth as well. One mistake we made when we were on the right side, I think, is putting too much trust in big name players who weren't going to deliver.
00:10:31
Marley
I think Jesse Lingard is the perfect example. That seems to be what you've done with Calvin Phillips being a former Man City player, former England former englanded international who hasn't done as well as people thought he would.
Calvin Phillips and Ward Prowse Analysis
00:10:44
Marley
What are your thoughts on that?
00:10:47
Rob Binns
I was going to ask this question pretty much every week when we have these crossovers. Everyone wants to know. And my answer hasn't changed from that first game against Liverpool. what when it When we were linked, I said it was a risk and it wasn't what I felt we needed to make. And it almost felt like a bit of a statement signing. That was almost like we went and done that to then give the message to other players that we weren't messing about. We're here to compete and try and convince those better names to join. Obviously and what was left of that summer window and then now as we move forward into January and hopefully next year if we're still in the Premier League that I always felt he was a risk because you sort of signed him hope and he can went go back to that Calvin Phillips of three years ago when he was fantastic in the Euros, but three years is a long time and he hasn't hit that level since then. um He has had some really good games. So some of the games, Villa again was one of his standouts, similar to it was with Jack Clark, I was saying earlier, but his problem has been
00:11:44
Rob Binns
it's just such a lack of consistency. like he'll He's had two or three games where he's looked really strong, and him and Mors, he looked like a great partnership. And then he'll follow that up with the next two weeks where he'll look really poor.
00:11:57
Rob Binns
Also, the Villa game is probably his best game of the season so far for me. And he followed it up with West Ham, where the team in general went from brilliant to shocking in those two games.
00:12:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:12:06
Rob Binns
But he was sort of the standout. He probably went from one of the best on the pitch to one of the worst in the space of a week. and The way he ends could use display. And now I don't see him getting back in when he's back from his little knock he's got.
00:12:17
Rob Binns
That's another problem as well.
00:12:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think, yeah, for a lot, a lot of it switch fans said to me that they were like, they were worried about seeing Luongo and Morsy in midfield.
00:12:18
Rob Binns
When I say about being very risky, he's had two injuries already.
00:12:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
So they wondered if Phillips was kind of like in there for a bit more pace, but it doesn't seem to have worked. It's kind of like us with the war prowess. We brought him in like a dead war specialist, but he just hasn't really, it's not landed. I don't think these statements are really making the difference, are they?
00:12:36
Marley
Langa.
00:12:39
Rob Binns
No, I think sometimes with those names or sorry,
00:12:39
Marley
And Langa's been a better piece player.
00:12:43
Rob Binns
Yeah, I think sometimes with those names, it's like, you've got to factor in like the wrong move in a way, sort of what slows and what can slow them down. They don't hit that level. Cause obviously Phillips was city, but I actually didn't walk.
00:12:56
Rob Binns
He's more proud. So you went to West Ham, didn't he? He wasn't going to drop down to the championship with Southampton, but first month or two, he looked all right. But you look quite off the pace. Most of the time at West Ham was quickly out of the team. And you saw again, you've probably done the same thing we've done with Phillips.
00:13:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:08
Rob Binns
You hope you start, you hope you sign and lead Phillips or euros Phillips. Yeah. You haven't, and obviously that's unlikely, but I feel like you've gone for that.
00:13:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:15
Rob Binns
I hope when you get Southampton ward brows and you've got West End ward brows.
00:13:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, well, I think for me as well, it's the fitness, isn't it? Because neither of them have really played regularly, like, inform football and they haven't quite got that fitness back. Whereas, you know, we've signed like Hudson adoy and Doyan and Langer and players like that who are young and hungry and have got that potential. And we've got them back to their potential. Whereas with WordPress and Philips doesn't seem to have happened. What do you think the game plan will be? Marley, have you found the advert?
00:13:40
Marley
Yes I have.
00:13:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Legend, do you want to read that? And then we'll go into it we'll go into game plans after that.
00:13:45
Marley
Yes of course. Do you have a story to tell the world that the world needs to hear? Have you struggled with reaching new audiences who are engaged with your story? It might be time for you to start a podcast.

00:14:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's talk game plans, boys.
Upcoming Match Strategies Discussion
00:14:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Big weekend, big game. I mean, at the start of the season, we probably would have looked at this as ah as a potential early relegation six pointer. We seem to have done all right up until now, but it's vital for Forrest to get three points. It's which probably the same. and How do you think Rob? How do you think it's gonna set up for it?
00:14:55
Rob Binns
I think we'll go the same sort of, well, we have a distinct style of play. We do every game. and we We do that. We're in that four, two, three, one set up. And the only slight change we made was for Spurs, where it became a bit more of a five to deal with their full backs.
00:15:08
Rob Binns
So I would say, obviously you've had a lot of threat from your full backs as well. So maybe that would be a consideration again. But the way we done that was by having Ben Johnson on the right, who is injured.
00:15:18
Rob Binns
And I know, I don't know if he's back this weekend or not.
00:15:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes.
00:15:23
Rob Binns
And like I say, Burns had quite a good game. So that would be my only question mark, really, is do we sort of do that hybrid five model, or do we just do out and out four, two, three, one, and I think it's, we both sort of set up fairly similarly, I think, so I think it'll be fairly man to man and try and, what we're quite similar teams, really, in terms of how we set up.
00:15:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:15:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, pretty much.
00:15:42
Rob Binns
We both set out, we both like to sort of control the game, but not it can accept when we need to be a counter-attacking team as well and use it to our advantage. It's quite a similar setup, so it'll be interesting to see how it works out, because so we sort of said the same thing about where my worry is, although i I was happy with the result in the end, but I said a lot of this same sort of stuff about Brighton in terms of the setup of the team, and I felt we were fairly similar, and that finished 0-0, so fuck hopefully it's not, doesn't go down that route.
00:16:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, it it could well end the draw for sure. Yeah. Yeah, I think I think where while we will look at exploiting hips, which is probably pace, because you know, you've not got loads in midfield, centrally at the back, you look good, but you're not that quick. So I think that's probably where they'll they'll look to explore it. I think would probably come back in upfront, I would say. And it then it just depends on Anderson and Gibbs white, you know, Gibbs white, we really miss his creativity, but we miss the engine room of Anderson just doesn't stop running. Marley, what are your thoughts?
00:16:34
Marley
I think for me it's going to be a simple case of can we stop being classic forest and can it just avoid it being a classic forest game because knowing forest there's a lot of it to which players that couldn't have the game of their lives on Saturday. One of those is Aaron Mureich former forest goalkeeper who was awful for us it's written in the stars that he keeps a clean sheet and makes world-class saves. Leif Davis former Leicester player written in the stars for him to play the game of his life Obviously, Savage Modics and Liam Dalat both really worry me. They're both very, very high quality players above relegation battles. And if he comes off a bench, this is probably not something you were expected to hear on EZC, but do reckon George Hurst could surprise people and do quite well as well.
00:17:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
access to player as well. Yeah, some some max Midlands players there in there for sure.
00:17:23
Rob Binns
Well, you're in luck there, because he's injured.
00:17:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think for me. Oh, well, there you go.
00:17:26
Rob Binns
So you haven't got to worry about her, so there's one off your list, because which is big negative for us.
00:17:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Perfect. Well, ah
00:17:33
Marley
Yeah.
00:17:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, yeah, but I mean, if if you're in, look, this is where we struggled against Arsenal.
00:17:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've got Danilo and Sangari have been out pretty much the entire season. They were kind of like our starting two holding midfielders, maybe with Anderson taking over, but Anderson's also injured and he is the backup to Gibbs White who was injured.
Forest's Midfield Injuries and Implications
00:17:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
So currently we have no real out and out attacking midfielder and we're missing three of our other key players in midfield. So we're kind of a decimated on midfield and we've only got three other options, one of which is Ward Prowse.
00:18:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it'll be interesting to see if we have anyone back fit, which hopefully we will, but it's going to be, it's going to be an interesting game. I can see it where forest will take the lead early, come out strong, get a lead. And then classic forest will give you an equalizer within four minutes. Cause we've done that like five times a season, and or we'll do what we did. We'll lose in our season. We'll go tuning up. We'll be cruising for the first 70 minutes and then you'll score twice at the end and it will draw to all.
00:18:24
Rob Binns
Yeah, I actually have. I can't remember if I mentioned it while we were recording. It was before and one of my close mates is a Forest fan and I had the pleasure of being on a call with him while we were doing something.
00:18:35
Rob Binns
That looting game happened. That was that was fantastic to watch. she He saw me implode as that result went away. It was fantastic. Listen to something like that would happen again.
00:18:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
mate.
00:18:43
Rob Binns
That would be even sweeter this time.
00:18:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, especially if you're on a call with him. Marley, what do you reckon? Do you reckon and that's probably the ah the structure of the game or do you reckon will actually come out and and do well?
00:18:54
Marley
Well, what I think is, I don't think we'll do a Luton, like what we did against Luton, because against Luton, it was substitutions that threw it away. Joe Warren's third jury came on, and it was their mistake for his two goals.
00:19:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yeah, it was terrible.
00:19:06
Marley
um This season, this is what I think is so much better than last season. I don't actually think we've got anyone on that bench, but unless board browsers on the bench, that is capable of coming off a bench and completely screwing up our entire game.
00:19:21
Marley
I do not, I trust everyone we wouldd bring off, especially defensively. Williams, I trust. Morato, I trust. Bolly, I trust. There is not one, even Moreira, I will trust. I don't think there's one player on that bench that can come on in that defensive line and absolutely screw up our chances of winning the game.
00:19:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
it It was nice to see Moreira come on Arsenal actually, it was really nice to see him get some game time at Arsenal.
00:19:38
Marley
I think...
00:19:40
Marley
Oh wait, he came on.
00:19:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think so. I'm sure he came on a second afternoon.
00:19:46
Marley
I didn't see him, but then um again, I could have been asleep, so.
00:19:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'll double check now. I'm sure it was carry on.
00:19:52
Marley
Yeah, but my only real worry about throwing a lead away is that I do think it's which I've got very high quality players. Play like Schmodix in the lap, link it up, could change the game in an instant. um And Forest are liable to that sort of thing happening. If the flow of the game changes against us, we can be put on the back foot and then it can be very hard for us to get back on the front foot. But so long as we avoid that happening, keep that channel occupied. Don't let them have that link up. I think we'll be all right.
00:20:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sorry, you were right. He didn't come on. He was on the bench.
00:20:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
But nice to see him on the bench. And hopefully get some minutes soon.
00:20:30
Marley
Yeah. He came on against West Ham.
00:20:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he's a good player. I think there we go. There we go. I knew I knew it was recently. But yeah, I mean, he's a good option to have. Yeah, you're right. The depth is good. I just I just worry that we throw it away.
00:20:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Molly, do you think it's an option if we go one if we go one or down?
00:20:47
Marley
If we go 1-0 down, I think what we need to do, just don't panic. Don't be too reactive. Don't panic, because we know we've got the quality to turn the game back around.
00:20:58
Marley
I think if it gets to like the 80th, 75th minute and we're down, then is the time to think about Williams and Moreira as more attacking options. But then again, it would only be freshness because Ina is attacking and obviously Moreno's got an assist.
00:21:13
Marley
He is a good attacking player as well. So.
00:21:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you think if we're desperate towards the end? Do you think that a one you can would can play together?
00:21:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's a big question.
00:21:24
Marley
It depends really.
00:21:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
and that We've not had proof of this yet.
Striker Partnerships: Awoini and Wood
00:21:27
Marley
It depends. I think it can work only against the right opposition. And I think Newcastle was the opposition. I think if a one-he-occupied, if a one-he-occupied Byrne, that would leave not only him being faster than Byrne, able to get behind him, but that would leave Kraft up against Wood.
00:21:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:21:45
Marley
And the whole reason we were so poor, I think, is because Byrne's height cancelled out Wood's prowess. If Kraft was on Wood, Wood scores that game.
00:21:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, true.
00:21:55
Marley
That's what a one-he-would do.
00:21:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's go to combine lineups.
00:22:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
I feel like this is going to be good.
00:22:02
Rob Binns
Yeah.
00:22:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
I feel like this could be quite even actually.
00:22:06
Rob Binns
I think I've got very different answers than if he asked me last season.
00:22:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
In goal... I reckon in goal Matt Sells probably wins it at the minute.
00:22:13
Marley
Definitely, especially thinking back to me which is forest days, I do not trust in full stop.
00:22:14
Rob Binns
Yep.
00:22:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
What's Muirich been like for you Rob?
00:22:18
Rob Binns
Yeah, same here.
00:22:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Has he been all right this season or is he a bit dodgy?
00:22:24
Rob Binns
Um, hit miss really. Oh, he was, I mean, United game is the the sort of ah prime example of that. I thought for 15 minutes, he, I thought he was poor for the goal. I said, there's blame in multiple places, but I put sort of the majority towards him in my opinion for that. And first 15, he looked quite shaky and you thought, oh, you might give another one away. He's looking a bit poor.
00:22:47
Rob Binns
Then don I don't know what he stopped then.
00:22:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, so you didn't just didn't come out the traps then.
00:22:49
Rob Binns
No, then he's just, I don't know what the turning point was, but at some point he woke himself up. Then he was fantastic. He claimed every cross, every cross or every corner he came and got with. He made a couple of saves.
00:23:00
Rob Binns
He didn't have too many saves to make, but when he did, he got his job done. His playing out from the back got significantly better after this first 15. He's just, he's someone we spoke about a lot. We've had down points where we've been calling for him to Is it time for a change and put Walton back in goal?
00:23:15
Rob Binns
But overall, he is our number one and he just needs to get that consistency, really. but So I wouldn't argue Sal was obviously a forest defensive record.
00:23:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:24
Rob Binns
I think, well, I might struggle compared to ours. I might struggle to get any of our back line in, to be honest, but I'll do my best.
00:23:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know. i I reckon I think leave Dave is gonna make an appearance appearance. Marley, what would you put over um over Moreno or Ina?
00:23:35
Marley
I will allow
00:23:35
Rob Binns
Oh, oh we absolutely.
00:23:36
Rob Binns
That's the one I argue.
00:23:37
Marley
I'll allow Leif Davis at left back, centre back because I think, over Moreno I'd say, because Moreno's only on, simply because Moreno's on loan.
00:23:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I would agree because I reckon if
00:23:47
Rob Binns
Yeah.
00:23:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
If Ipswich go down, I'd quite like us to sign Leif Davis permanently. I think that out of it, as much as it pains me, not to sign Hutchinson and the devastation, right? Because I think he'd be so good in our frontline.
00:24:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think Leif Davis is the player that we've been crying out for almost as much as Morgan Gibberwhite for the last like 12 years. We've not had like ah up until Moreno, we've not had a good solid consistent left back for God knows how long.
00:24:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've had decent low needs for like six months.
00:24:14
Marley
but Actually, we we we have had a good, solid, consistent left back. There's only one problem with him. He was a midfielder.
00:24:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
what Cohen chuck wolf Yeah, but yeah, again, he's not really left by those.
00:24:25
Marley
Jack Colbat.
00:24:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
he But I mean, the amount of we've had like just injured players or contest key on loan, Nikki Shory on low, we've not had a decent like, leave Davis is the one that we need.
00:24:35
Marley
hook
00:24:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
So Rob, if you want to get relegated, mate, of course, we would have to accept it.
00:24:40
Marley
There is...
00:24:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
But then probably would you say Marillo
00:24:43
Marley
There are two, Marilla Malenkovich probably, but there are two Ips which centre backs, which I love and I want them in, but I just can't put them in over our centre backs. Those are Jacob Greaves and I can't lie, I do really love Luke Wolfenden.
00:24:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, what's that greaves? I was gonna say, where's Wolfie? Where is he?
00:25:03
Rob Binns
Yeah, he sort of, that's another one we questioned at the time, really, that we've, O'Shea is someone we've sort of handed a lot of doubt about on our podcast and someone we've, we've said many times that we wanted him to be dropped and put Waltham back in because he didn't think he'd done anything wrong to be dropped in the first place. But then O'Shea has been one of the best players on the pitch for three or four games in a row now. So ultimately McKenna knows more about football than we do, shocked there that he knows what he's doing. So I trust, I trust him until the end.
00:25:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, I might be wrong, but I feel like Wolfenden could be a bit of a Joe Worrell, where he's like, you know, his fan favourite, but he's just not quite at the pace of the prem.
00:25:42
Rob Binns
Yeah, maybe, but so I think in terms of the combined 11 sort of things, like like I said, with your defensive record compared to ours, I don't think I can argue the two, arguably the two, the best center back partnership, probably up there, Van Dyke and Kanate, probably the only one you could argue over Marilla and Milenkovic this season.
00:25:50
Marley
Thank you.
00:25:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, for now, for now, let's fingers crossed it comes back this weekend touch word because we've been shocked in the last few weeks. Right, so we've got cells and goal leaf Davis left back, Marilla, Malenkevich and Ina. And then we move forward to the defensive duo. And ah to be honest, I don't know, out of both teams, I don't even know who's fit. If you got who would you put in there?
00:26:20
Rob Binns
Well, the mid the midfield too, well, I'll just, I'd go, well, I i have Davis, I have Hutchinson, and I have Sam Morsy, who I argue every single week, regardless of who we play. Sometimes I win, sometimes I don't. Morsy's just been, he's been Mr. Consistent every season, whatever the division, he's taken to the Premier League very well. And read on recency bias, Jens Caduce has just dropped two outstanding performances against big six clubs in a row. and He's suddenly, he was a player we hadn't seen much of and we would when Phillips got sent off, we sat there and we debated, oh, is this gonna cause us a problem against Tottenham?
00:26:54
Rob Binns
Because we've not seen this partnership together really apart from Southampton where we were rubbish and nicked an equalizer at the end. And he's just, he's been, I don't know what's happened to him in the last couple of weeks.
00:27:04
Rob Binns
He's just sparked into life and he's absolutely brilliant. So naturally I'm gonna argue the Ipswich too.
00:27:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, yeah, okay.
00:27:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I mean, Morsy is another one you got from Barnsley. You kind of became Barnsley 2.0, but just like kind of completed the lineup in a better way with McKenna as well. and But Morsy, yeah, he is Mr. Consistent, you know, and he's scored some absolute belters as well.
00:27:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Fingers crossed you don't do that at the weekend, because Forrest have got a habit of conceding screamers in the Premier League.
00:27:25
Rob Binns
Yeah.
00:27:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
i We'll give, let's say, let's say, because you, I think we've got to argue Ryan Yates is in there, aren't we, Marley?
00:27:36
Marley
Definitely, definitely. Ryan Yates is Mr.
00:27:38
Rob Binns
yeah to be He has had a very strong season.
00:27:38
Marley
He's the player that... He's the player that you really, really want on your team, but you really, really don't want him on the other team.
00:27:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I actually I mean, as much as because you just played well recently, I quite like the naughty grittiness of mauzy and Yates together. That's a bit filthy in it.
00:27:58
Marley
That is...
00:27:58
Rob Binns
but a couple of the other cards in there every game.
00:27:59
Marley
ah
00:28:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, a couple of yeah couple of black cards.
00:28:04
Marley
That is like a center back pairing of Pepe and Ramos.
00:28:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Combinations.
00:28:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is it? ah It's more like a Vinnie Jones mate, to be honest.
00:28:12
Marley
Vinny Jones and Roy Keane.
00:28:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, there you go. Solid.
00:28:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
what we all want to see. and Moving forward, um is is Morgan back? Is Morgan fit?
00:28:27
Marley
If he is, he definitely goes in there. If not, then I actually want to put Connor Chaplin in.
00:28:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
We probably wouldn't start for Ipswich though, dude.
00:28:37
Marley
I don't care, I want Connor Chaplin here.
00:28:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
All right. Well, you can argue Connor Chaplin, I'll argue Hutchinson. So essentially, the forest fans are arguing which it's which players they want in. That's not a good omen that.
00:28:48
Rob Binns
Yeah, so no say if we're all if we're Interesting show Yeah, I think so Hmm
00:28:49
Marley
In fact, why not drop Bellingham, why not drop Bellingham for the World Cup and start Connor Chaplin?
00:28:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you know, I've just signed no, I think we should sign JB Bellingham, forest.
00:29:02
Marley
Maybe.
00:29:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it was what you'll probably get in but
00:29:04
Marley
ah one although old i I used to find a lot of these comments. I used to find a lot of these comments.
00:29:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, well, he wants both.
00:29:12
Marley
No, I think he wants to sell Bellingham and sign Job instead.
00:29:16
Rob Binns
That would go a damn well.
00:29:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, we'll have Jude then.
00:29:20
Marley
hu
00:29:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
We'll have Jude and stairs. We'll settle. We'll just settle. yeah I mean, although imagine next season, Ipswich, imagine Jeremy Bellingham, Hutchinson and Jack Clark. ah No.
00:29:31
Marley
That's scary to think about.
00:29:31
Rob Binns
Wouldn't complain, would it?
00:29:33
Marley
Scary to think about playing a game.
00:29:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Rob's like, lovely.
00:29:34
Rob Binns
Yeah.
00:29:36
Rob Binns
Yeah, I think.
00:29:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Dilap upfront as well. Oh, man. See, this is the thing though.
00:29:39
Marley
I think I put schmollix and hoods and a doi on the wings for me.
00:29:39
Rob Binns
I'm quite glad to's safe if Gibb's why it's not fit, I'll happily take So what I was going to say, if he was fit, I was going to say he can send them in, or he can go in the middle and argue Hutchinson on one of the wings, because he can play bow for him.
00:29:50
Rob Binns
But if we're saying he's injured, he's got to be the 10 for me, Hutchinson.
00:29:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who's your, who's your, who's your lefty rub? Who's on the left for you at the minute? it schmodo Is He's the lefty.
00:29:56
Rob Binns
Smodix. Yeah, Smodix at the moment, although... Yeah, I was going to say, I can...
00:30:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
So when we're saying that Gibbs White's out.
00:30:06
Rob Binns
If you want to run with that, yeah. I don't know. You're the forest expert, so I don't know. Is he back or not?
00:30:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, if Gibbs White's fit, my personal choice, I mean, they're not fully informed, but my personal choice would be
00:30:12
Rob Binns
I hope not.
00:30:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hutchinson and Clark out wide Gibbs white in the middle, because that's just naughty. But um there's a case for Hudson to die. There's a case for Smodex as well.
00:30:30
Rob Binns
If I'm being 100% honest and unbiased, I would put Hudson or Doi over ah Clark.
00:30:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who's arguing what?
00:30:37
Rob Binns
Smodix is more of a debate there, but so if you'll prefer one with Clark on the left, I would have gone Hudson or Doi over Clark.
00:30:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm. What is his goal for it?
00:30:44
Rob Binns
But I'd have to argue the case with Smodix over both, although it's tough for Hudson or Doi because it's value for money as well, a couple of million quid.
00:30:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
All right. Well, I'll tell you what we'll give you. Should we say Schmodix Gibbs white and Hutchinson them for balance?
00:30:59
Rob Binns
Yeah, I'm happy with that. I'm i'm not going to argue with two out of three town players, and you can have me with that happily.
00:31:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I'll be with that Marley.
00:31:05
Marley
Oh, yeah, I'll accept that. Yeah.
00:31:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. And then up front, we've got the battle between Dilap and wood and now for Marley as well, even though he doesn't actually play up front anymore. Connor Chaplin debate 30 marks discuss.
00:31:18
Marley
um
00:31:21
Rob Binns
Tough.
00:31:21
Marley
Yeah.
00:31:21
Rob Binns
Two very informed strikers.
00:31:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:31:24
Marley
Liam Dalat, I rated him when he was at Hull. I rate him this season. Chris Wood is just the man in form at the minute. He seems to take goals like food.
00:31:36
Marley
So it's.
00:31:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
So my is let me like let me throw in a bit more color for the debate, right? So Chris Woody's an out and out striker, big guy, really, really strong, can hold the ball up, links the player really well, and he's just always in the right position. But I've watched Dilap a lot more this season. I mean, you know, when he was on loan at Stoke, I just thought he was a bit of a striker, kind of a poacher, but he's actually not. He's actually a really good footballer, very quick, very pacey. He's probably a bit more technical than Harland is really, but obviously he's just not as much of a goal threat yet.
00:32:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
But you know, do you want someone on top of that line at the combined line that we've got, who is maybe more informed in terms of just being in the right position? Or do you want someone who is, is more of a technical footballer to link up with your Hutchinson's and your Gibbs whites and whatnot?
00:32:17
Rob Binns
Well, you know what my answer's gonna be, so depends if you two outvote me or not, really.
00:32:18
Marley
yes
00:32:22
Marley
Personally, in my opinion, it all depends on who the wingers are.
00:32:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:32:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I again, I would quite happily take the lap to replace a one year at the end of the season, because I don't know if a one year is going to stay.
00:32:35
Rob Binns
Look, I don't like you eyeing up all our players here.
00:32:36
Marley
and
00:32:37
Rob Binns
I'm getting a bit nervous now.
00:32:38
Marley
Well, put it this way.
00:32:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, listen, you if we if we swap in January, we'll give you all of our players, just the ones that we don't want.
00:32:44
Marley
but Put it this way.
00:32:45
Rob Binns
What do you want?
00:32:46
Marley
i'd say
00:32:46
Rob Binns
Oh, you're bench flyers. Yeah, that sounds fair.
00:32:49
Marley
It depends on, I'd say it depends on the wingers because Hull last season with Liam Dallat, I don't think Liam Dallat played up front, but if he did, the wingers providing him service would be Jayden, Philadine and Scott Twine.
00:33:00
Marley
Those two are both pacey wingers with a very good cross on them.
00:33:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, but very technical as well.
00:33:04
Marley
So if you if you've got technical pacey wingers who can wriggle into the box and you just need that extra pace on the striker to add to that, I think Dallat's your answer, but if you just want Straightforward wingers who just get forward and get the ball in the box and you just need a poacher is Chris Wood that you want to put in.
00:33:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, so are we saying we can't decide? We'll leave it to the fans to decide in the comments.
00:33:26
Marley
Yeah.
00:33:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is that fair? Right, so the lineup we've got Sellsengold, Leif Davis, Murillo, Milenkovic and Ina. We've got Sam Morsey and Ryan Yates in what is one of the most outrageous midfield duos ever. That would be a good, I'd happily take that in Forestine, the gutsy engine room people.
00:33:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm sure you would at Ipswich as well. Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Schmodix and then Wood or Dalap up front.
00:33:44
Marley
That's another five.
00:33:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's quite an exciting lineup there,
Debate: Dalap vs. Wood as Top Striker
00:33:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
isn't it?
00:33:51
Rob Binns
yeah

Fair play. One more thing before we go, though, we have got to talk about the the ultimate drama of Ipswich Town of the Week, right? First game in charge for Mr Reuben Amorim. Slammed, ruined, destroyed, as the media have decided to call it, by yeah one of our favourite pop stars, Mr Ed Sheeran.
00:34:07
Rob Binns
Yeah He put himself across brilliantly there um Ed I have to say he he's just sort of
00:34:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Rob, thoughts?
00:34:16
Rob Binns
I think he's probably had a bit to drink, celebrating a ah good point that potentially could have been more as well, but he is sort of, he's the face that gets plastered around with us now.
00:34:28
Rob Binns
They're sort of something we've bought into a lot and probably are starting to push too far at this point, if I'm being 100% honest, but he is is great to have such a global face to help you sort of sell the brand of the club.
00:34:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:34:42
Rob Binns
But I did think that, although I also don't think it's his fault,
00:34:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, also the the kit sponsors probably bought you a lot of money on it.
00:34:46
Rob Binns
Yeah. Well, I think that, that particular jumping in the interview, I didn't, they didn't come across great there, but also at the same time, someone's let him do that.
00:34:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
That kit sponsors probably bought you a lot.
00:34:55
Rob Binns
He doesn't just, but you don't just bowl in the background about someone from production stopping you and ah someone someone's let him through and for it will be a good laugh.
00:34:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I feel like it
00:35:01
Rob Binns
So I don't think he seemed like he had a bit to drink as well.
00:35:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
If you're Ed Sheeran, you kind of get away with it, don't you? But I think also with Ed Sheeran, it looked like he just ran over and was like, I'm a massive fan of the show.
00:35:07
Rob Binns
Yeah.
00:35:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think he actually realized the timing of Amoram's first interview. Probably regret that slightly.
00:35:14
Rob Binns
Yeah.
00:35:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Marley, go on.
00:35:17
Marley
I just think Ed Sheeran had a bit too much drink, he was thinking out loud, celebrating his A-Team getting that point and I think he's going to tell Amrim that he's not in love with the shape of him.
00:35:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, well, that's it. And then if Amoram gets his own back, he'll be sent to the castle on the hill.
00:35:28
Rob Binns
Very good.
00:35:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Come on. Two can play at this game.
00:35:32
Marley
Sorry, yeah I absolutely love Ed Sheeran.
00:35:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
So do I, hence all the songs.
00:35:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Although it's an English town that he's looking after, not an American town. What's going on there? Terrible. Right, boys, pleasure. What a great podcast that was. and Let us know in the the comments, Dilap or Wood, the debate.
00:35:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, this is going to be a really interesting one, isn't it? It's going to be like, I want fans that are not able to switch your forest funds to get involved as well, who are non-biased because we can't decide.
00:35:59
Rob Binns
Yeah, because it's going to go two ways. It's going to be all of our lot. I'm going to argue to that. All of your lot are going to argue would. We need some neutral sort of coming in and decide it for us, I think on that one.
00:36:07
Marley
It's gonna be on all the chat shows.
Match Outcome Predictions
00:36:09
Marley
It's gonna be on all the chat shows.
00:36:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Oh, before we go, start' not even um predictions yet. Sorry, my bad. Rob, what's your prediction for the weekend?
00:36:17
Rob Binns
It's a tough one because I don't know how many of your players are going to be back fit because I do think it makes a big difference on whether Gibbs White's in that 10 role or if it is a Ward Prowse or a Yates or someone in there again.
00:36:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Massive.
00:36:30
Rob Binns
ah and And like you say, Anderson's been, you're missing probably two of your most important players this season. I think if they're both back, then, and the the home advantage probably sways it a bit towards forest, but I'm going to play on my hope that they are both out and we find you out of form and missing some key players.
00:36:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm. Big time.
00:36:48
Rob Binns
And I'm going to try it. Obviously if we can nab a solid point away from home, at a tough ground together, I'll go one all draw. I don't think it'll be very entertaining. and I think we'll cancel each other out, to be honest.
00:36:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
very humble. I like that. I've had visions of a three to forest. I don't know why, like a 93rd minute winner. um But we'll see it could equally be like a five all and I'd kind of be happy to watch that on match of the day as well.
00:37:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
je I mean, I actually I got offered a ticket for the and for the Ipswich again this weekend in the forest and and it's my missus birthday. And that's obviously more important.
00:37:19
Rob Binns
Oh, no.
00:37:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
But you know, I'm i'm looking forward to I'm looking forward to my life.
00:37:21
Marley
you know what you know what you know what mark what you could do is you mark you go up to one of your mates and say look I'll be offering a ticket to the forest game it's my mrs birthday if you want to go instead of me you know she's going here this is the sort of cake she wants this is the sort of present she wants have fun I'm off yeah I would absolutely love to be up there in Upper Brian Clough and watch 10 goals flying but I don't think I would
00:37:22
Rob Binns
So I should have a nice day about you.
00:37:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, yeah, she probably would.
00:37:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, hire a doppelganger to go and look after the meters for the day. Perfect. Sounds like a good idea. Absolutely not.
00:37:51
Marley
be able to cope with the 5-5 especially not if the last goal was a nipswitch goal.
00:37:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I've gone three to what's your ah what's your three to 90th minute winner. What's your what's your big prediction?
00:38:01
Marley
That sounds like the predictions I was making at the beginning of our podcast and I'm going to make the sort of one that you guys are making. I don't think whether or not Gidwhiter Anderson or Outz will make the biggest difference this time because I think Johto Silva will actually fill in this time and I think he's more than capable of doing that job very well if we actually use him, like we should.
00:38:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hopefully.
00:38:22
Marley
I'm getting very annoyed at him not being played there. But I've gone 2-0. I think our defence is solid enough to keep a clean sheet. My only worry is Dilap, Morsy and Hutchinson not needing a penalty area to score the goals.
00:38:36
Marley
um I think Wood will be backing the starting line up and scoring as usual. And I don't so i can see us having a big, big response to two very poor performances.
00:38:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hopefully we need it because you see, we've got city and you United away at the next two games in Manchester, Manchester week coming up. So fingers crossed. But I think either way, it's going to be a really good game. Rob, thanks for joining. me It's been a pleasure, mate. Really enjoyed that podcast and wish you best of luck for the season and, you know, going to be a great game at the weekend, I think.
00:39:06
Rob Binns
Yeah, I think so. Cheers for having me lads. I've enjoyed that and I'll take Saturday aside. Once we get Saturday out of the way, best of luck for the season. I hope it all goes against you on Saturday.
00:39:15
Marley
I'll talk to you too.
00:39:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
40 minute podcast.
00:39:18
Marley
