None of the loannees, no Tudgay, no Gad, no Foley - time to give the lads a run-out.

Despite relegation, I will be there to cheer on the boys; please join me in doing so. There have been rumours of unrest / trouble on the day but if there are protests I do hope they'll be legal, safe and tasteful and not disruptive.

I'll be there.
Been a ST holder since early 70's (apart from Sixfields) but not sure what to do next season. I cannot believe I am considering not renewing, but for the first time ever, this could be a reality.
I want to suppot CCFC and Robins but so pissed off with off-field stuff I'm asking myself if the 140 mile round trip is worth it. Sure, we are likely to secure a few victories against L2 teams (we need shafting if we don't), but if the sole purpose of any business is to break even, then that effectively means standstill at best.
I will be waiting to see what happens close season before making my mind up.

Reilly in purely as Stevenson got stretched off yesterday so i have him as very doubtful. As for Bigi, in the final he was excellent, but a few games recently he's gone off the boil again and sounded like it yesterday too. Goes missing to easily playing poor passes. Stepped up in the game last week tho in the 2nd half and broke up everything but he's to inconsistent. There's a player in him but he's got to do it more

Loads of injuries it seems :(

Reilly, Maycock, Stevenson all out.

Will Gadzev be back in?

Could be a bizarre side tomorrow because of injuries, especially with plenty out of contract. Will those out of contract players declare themselves fit if not quite right when they need to be fit going into The summer ready for preseason to earn new deals at interested clubs. They won't want to aggravate injuries this close to the summer and leave themselves without a club come August.

I don't think the open letter to the supporters will help improve the mood of those supporters thinking of protests one bit. I think what Gary Hoffman told us on Stuart Linnell's programme tonight may in fact make the atmosphere inside the Ricoh very negative. Some fans will think that more vehement protests might be what's needed. Not a criticism of Hoffman, but I felt as though he's one of us and has been slapped down. Some will feel strongly about what he said.

Due to injuries I think we'll get a hammering :/

It's all a bit like closing the barn door after the horse has bolted. Defeat looks inevitable but I would like to see the young guys get a game, tactics tried out in a competitive match and see what might happen.

What's the odds on someone moaning why Ponticelli ain't playing for the 1st team and given a chance when Tudgay is given a start this afternoon
