I live in a village outside. But compared to most towns it’s actually all right. Could be a lot worse.

I always thought Andover was OK . Got ex relatives there.

It’s no fun sitting in an airport at 5:30 a.m. GMT. Posting all by myself to no-one. Even Otis is in bed.

No I wasn't.

Well, yes, I was, but only until 4.

Now bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Mornin Otis. I’ll make it home in time to get a couple of hrs sleep before kick off.

I'm fine, except I woke up this morning to find me still married.

Life is so cruel sometimes.

Tough game this, they all are but Burton are one of sides about half way who could make a serious challenge for the top spots, no Sterling today so I expect an unchanged team from the Accrington match subject to Davies being fit.

what about bayliss?

 

[better days]

what about bayliss?

Bayliss tired a bit in the game against Cheltenham
Unsurprising as he's been out for a while with a sore hip which reduces mobility
More likely to be sub again I suspect

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Looking forward to this today. Travelling up from deepest Hampshire with my best mate, my son. Special days these are.
Predicting we'll go 2 up but finish up 2-2.

 

[matesx]

Take a draw right now. Tough looking fixture this.

 

[johnwillomagic]

Hmm looks like Davies and Sterling out so have to revise my team - time to stand up Jack Grimmer.

Burge GK
Grimmer RB
Brown LB
Hyam CB
Willis CB
Hiwula LM
Doyle CM
Bayliss CM
Thomas RM
Chaplin ST
JCH ST

Subs: LOB, Thompson, Mason, Ogogo, Shipley, Jones, Bakayoko

Need midfield and strikers to play well and take our chances to get something out of this - we have weaker defence so fear we will conceed today.

You need to get out more Otis!

 

[Magwitch]

what about bayliss?

Think for this match if 100% fit I’d plump for Kelly in the advanced roll just because I think we’ll have to be resilient defensively. Is he fit or not ?

 

[Otis]

You need to get out more Otis!

What you talking about, I go out every day.

It is just to walk the dog though.

Biamou up front?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Biamou up front?

Yep. He won't play him in Sterling's place.

 

[CovInEssex]

COME ON BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit, not literally

 

[Magwitch]

Biamou up front?

If he was fit yes

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Off topic, but after next Friday v Posh we play Fleetwood on Tues night. We will get an extra days rest, they are an old team and have to play Plymouth away on the Saturday, so won't get home until the early hours on Sunday. That has to give us an advantage. P.S. Come on City !!

I’d take a draw to be honest

[Spurs 'City Away Kit' Kit]

Yeah, think so. I'm relying on it!

 

[Nick]

Grimmer starts

 

[CanadianCCFC]

Thank you mark robins for picking grimmer over thompson

 

[Otis]

Grimmer starts

Just him or are there 10 other players alongside him too?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

No - just going with Jack - things might turn out Grim, unless he has a brother and we can play the brothers Grimm?

 

[stevefloyd]

Don't look like it , it says there is not a match pass available for this match

 

[stevefloyd]

That made me grimace

 

[jordan210]

I really like the Pirelli Stadium it’s a nice little ground.

Strong looking team.

When’s the green kits first outing

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Surprised Kelly is on the bench as he didn't feature in the cup games at all.
I thought Addai was on loan? Why no LOB?
