Really frustrating to get so many injuries any time, but especially ahead of a game that is very winnable.

Agree - but I hope we don't select players who aren't quite ready. I'd sooner see a fit Blaine Rowe or Jack Burroughs turn out for a couple of games, than risk setting back Dabo further in his recovery. Although this run of games looks like a good opportunity to pick up points, we must not become reckless in our attempt to get certain 'key' players onto the pitch if they are not really ready. If it cost us losing our next 2 games (and I hate even thinking that) but got us Dabo, Godden, Hamer and all back 100% thereafter, I'd take that (not that it works like that in real life!!)

Tablets are very small and durable these days....anyhoo.

I personally think we will have a much stronger xi out than some are alluding to and this is a big game so side will reflect that.
if players carrying slight niggles I would disagree with above and I would play them tonight it's a huge game,

People with more serious longer term injuries like Dabo I agree would rest and cannot see him playing - I think Hamer and Godden will play.

Predicting a victory tonight.

We have shown all season that we are more then capable of competing when we play our game, don’t play with fear and are not intimidated by the opposition. Those signs started as glimpses but have increased the last few games, and were it not for individual errors/sloppiness we’d be in a stronger position.

If the team feel confident, I am hopefully of a win tonight and a good performance to boot.

Initially I wasn’t particularly sure the increased subs benefit us, but with our injury record and the number ofplayers not fully fit, it could be a bonus for us. Even without that largest squad we have enough players to change a game. And a wild card in Kasteneer....

2 - 1, Biamou, Sheaf.

Think the lads are quietly confident about this one
Apart from the Bournemouth game we've been playing pretty well
Just need to get a bit wiser to how to manage games at this level


I hope you're right about the confidence BD. It's the major thing that's worrying me. There's only so much playing "well" and not getting results that the mind can take before it start to say "fuck this, what's the point"

Going to be a close game I feel with them sitting deep trying to hit us on the counter. Can see it being a frustrating night, going for 1-0 Ostigard from a corner.

As many have said on here that we probably got promoted earlier than expected, we still have the basics of a decent league 1 team and only had 1 transfer window to try and get a few more players in of a better quality, it was either going to work or not, atm its not quite there and we are making stupid mistakes/lack of concentration and getting found out also playing catch up in the fitness stakes BUT generally we are competing to an extent and having chances to score goals but unfortunately the quality in front of goal is sadly lacking atm, one thing that puzzles me is why Kelly isn't playing, we have all seen him return from injury in the past and until he regains match fitness isn't the same player he can be!
Hopefully Robins is playing mind games on them and we have Hamer and Godden in the line up...PUSB fingers toes eyes legs and everything feckin crossed for tonight

2-2 - our wobbly defence is compensated for by a couple of good goals innitiated by Giles.

I will be finally going into panic mode if we lose again though 😂
