Unofficial Halesowen Town FC Forum

Me and my big mouth, that's him Fu@#ed now!

The juggernaut continues to roll on. Semi finals here they come, can anyone stop them? Hmmmmm...........VERY interesting!

Considering they came into this competition with little expectation they have been superb. Great football and great game management. Look forward to pitting our wits against them in the final. Gutted for Spinazzola though, he has been wonderful.

Chickens hatching being counted here a little early,still 4 games to go until the final,are you the same Yeltz fans who wrongly
assumed Halesowen Town would win the 2019-20 F A Trophy after we beat Barnet??

Probably

So, so proud and happy. Not the greatest opposition but what a performance. This is our year, our time, I really believe it. So clichéd but It's Coming Home.

Southgate keeps picking the wrong side and still stumbles on a winning line up.I'm really
beginning to think we may reach the Final and then lose ingloriously to our Latin cousins!

England just won 4-0. Forgive me if I seem impudent, but do you think it might just be that he knows more than you? The ‘mighty Ukraine’ were terrifying on Friday, so I reckon the team that trounced them last night can’t have been far off.

I'm not even going there. If we get to the final we may well lose to our Latin cousins, but it certainly won't be for bad team selection. We may have not performed well early on but I do believe Southgate has picked the sides carefully for each match to plot our course through these championships. And I do think we are going from strength to strength. Roll on Wednesday!

Denmark will present another set of problems on Wednesday night, do England play a back four or three? Then there is the midfield shape, one holding or two? Do England keep Sancho out on the right or do we replace him? I believe England's defence will be tested to the limit on Wednesday by Denmark flooding the final third, when in attack.
But at this point of the competition you inevitably have to play good sides, not only that but Denmark are on an emotional wave too but with England being at home for the game, on Wednesday, and with the support from within the squad aswell as the fans inside Wembley, I believe England are riding their own wave of optimism currently and I wouldn't bet against England on Wednesday. One thing is for sure and that is Southgate will leave no stone unturned in preparation for such a vital game and all bases will be covered. If England were to lose it wouldn't be because they haven't played well in this tournament that's for sure. Southgate has tasted defeat in a semi final before both as a player and manger and I think it'll be third time lucky I'm going for 3-1 England victory........and why not?
