Will be a very different performance if Doyle comes in for Kelly. There's no way the fullbacks can be as adventurous as they have been in the last 3 games as Doyle's just not quick enough to provide the lateral cover for them and Kelly gets forward so much more than Doyle was before too - only got to look at the passes from 35 yards out that Kelly has made in the build up to goals at both Charlton and Southend. The fullbacks getting forward and overlapping has been a major part in the upturn in form and we'd return to being fairly toothless in attack I think.

I'm not one for square pegs normally but I'd genuinely consider Hyam into that defensive midfield role and bringing Davies in at the back. I thjink Hyam has enough speed, tenacity, anticipation and passing range to pull it off, if he can get to grips with the role positionally.
If Kelly is out though I suspect Robins will put Shipley in that role and Westbrooke out wide, given that Ogogo hasn't even been making the matchday squads. Would be a big test of his fortitude though.

Not quick enough, even compared with Doyle

Tbf to him he scored in the JPT semi and final, be interesting to see how much he would have progressed if he'd stayed here

I reckon a season in League 2 would have improved him more than Leicester u23s for a year.

As long as he didn't pile the weight back on like he did when he first started for us that season (he looked like he had been in the gym too much, was out for a bit then came back leaner).

Odd that no one has picked up on Thomas’ loan finishing-I presume that’s what Robins talking about in press conference (the close one?).

Everyone very quiet on Kelly too.

Two changes then -though god knows who will replace Kelly and Thomas!

This will result in another terrible away performance at sCuntThorpe.

His loan hasn't finished. People discussed Kelly in the threads about the JSB party where he said he hoped to play ;)

Good players but they’ve only had a short amount of time to gel, could work in our favour.

We should duff Scunny over, which makes me think we'll lose!
However......what the hell!

After much internal debate I'm gonna drive over for this one.. (provided I don't get caught in a snow drift on Woods pass) Never been to Glanford Park before, Where's best to park/grab a pint beforehand?

Win 0-5.

Hattrick for Chaplin, one for Luke Thomas, not sure of the other scorer, we have plenty of options. It might be Willis or Hyam header, JCH perfectly placed shot, Hiwula, Bayliss or Shipley.

Clean sheet yet again.

Have a bad feeling. They will be buzzing after doing over pboro and we prob won't threaten them as much as pboro

That said maybe that could work in our favour

4 wins would get me feeling closer to l2 levels of excitement but I can't see it happening gut feeling wise

Same team, attacking performance, 2-0 City, Hiwula and Thomas.

Or, Addai and Thompson start out of nowhere due to Willis, Burge and Davies having medicals at Bristol, Bolton and Burton.
