Kelly?
Kelly?He’s played almost as much as Thomas but yeah that’s your other choice. But if Torp and Sheaf are out who at CM?
Different for a bunch of reasons, not least that Wrexham were akin to a lower League 1/Top L2 side.
Bit differentPeople are suggesting player Andrews and Lusala against Maidstone.
We played Palmer, Godden, Eccles, Bidwell and Sheaf against Wrexham and got torn to shreds.
They were still a non-league side.

They were non league but they won the division with 111 points losing 3 games all season.
Maidstone are a division below that, and have lost 8 games out of 32 this season.
Some of the top scorers in that division this year include Jordan Young, who played just 3 minutes in the EFL Trophy for us.
With all due respect to him if he's one of the best players in the division I think Tavares and Andrews will be just fine.

What I’d say about Simms he is played well today and scored a good goal that was admittedly put on an absolute plate for him. I’m happy for him.Taxi for Robins that lasted a few years?
I've taken a lot of shite from people like yourself for pointing out ludicrous comments about Simms. It's easy for ne to notice those that have now gone AWOL. You still won't admit Robins is a very good manager so I only expect snide remarks from you on the subject of Simms.
Let's just let him peak at the right time,all part of Robins plan!What I’d say about Simms he is played well today and scored a good goal that was admittedly put on an absolute plate for him. I’m happy for him.
But he’s currently #35 on the championship striker list and we know he’s struggled and has plenty of weaknesses. So a bit early for breathless fan boying.
Let’s see some consistency.
They were a one off "galactico's' non league team who had football league quality players on their wage bill getting paid more than a fair few of our players.People are suggesting player Andrews and Lusala against Maidstone.

Maidstone are playing a level below that Wrexham side - equivalent of what Leamington were playing recently.
Don't think he'll load the side with young players but he can definitely afford to significantly change things up.
A Blackburn side in awful form made very light work of them in a higher division.They were a one off "galactico's' non league team who had football league quality players on their wage bill getting paid more than a fair few of our players.

We can't - it is not in the window.We need to recall EMC from Peterborough to play against Maidstone, it’s all hands on deck. No way we can beat them otherwise. Pay an extra £2 million if we have to.
My reply was more of a point to the level that Maidstone are playing at.A Blackburn side in awful form made very light work of them in a higher division.
But then you could say the top PL academies are probably at a higher standard than most league teams, yet their U21's routinely get beaten by lower league team in the JPT or whatever it's called now.Yes? They’re pro footballers not some kids from the park. Tavares started for us today in the Championship FFS

Well we’re surely doomed thenWe can't - it is not in the window.
Exactly, I've seen them play live and they're terrible. We'll hammer themJust as we’ll do with Maidstone.
Notice people are trying way too hard to be respectful towards a fan of theirs on here. Bit sickly tbh.
They're in an automatic promotion place with a game in hand.Wrexham were good but are hardly pulling up trees in League 2.
They beat Ipswich a few weeks ago and we lost to Wrexham last season - we really need to be looking at whether a forfeit might be possible before it gets embarrassing.We can't surely be nervous about playing Maidstone still? Robins will keep the team professional and focussed, but as we're not playing we can afford (for once!) to be confident that we'll win, surely!
And anybody who watched that Ipswich game will wonder just how they managed to beat them, too.They beat Ipswich a few weeks ago and we lost to Wrexham last season - we really need to be looking at whether a forfeit might be possible before it gets embarrassing.
I'm also, tbf, pretty sure that even in his most delerious state he won't be playing Lusala tooEven in his most delirious state, could you imagine Robins camping our back 4 halfway into Maidstone’s half?

There's no way he brings kids that don't play in. He'll rest as many as he can, we'll be looking at Binks, Dasilva, Palmer, Kelly, Godden, Tavares etc... and he'll fill in the gaps with some players I'm sure he'd rather be resting, but hopefully we can put it away quickly and just stroll about.I'm also, tbf, pretty sure that even in his most delerious state he won't be playing Lusala too
There's maybe a vague chance I guess that somebody like Andrews gets sneaked in as the one kid, but let's face it whatever lineup he puts out will not be at a level that should be losing to Maidstone!There's no way he brings kids that don't play in.

Yeh maybe Andrews at a push as he's been buzzing around the squad more than the others.There's maybe a vague chance I guess that somebody like Andrews gets sneaked in as the one kid, but let's face it whatever lineup he puts out will not be at a level that should be losing to Maidstone!
One win away from being level on points with top in the division would suggest otherwise.Wrexham were good but are hardly pulling up trees in League 2.

They might be pro footballers but they'll be playing against men. That physicality will be a big test for them. Maidstone know they won't outplay us so they'll definitely try and outmuscle us.
I was erring towards starting with a strong team and bringing fringe players on given our past record against lower league teams. Now with injuries I'm swayed more towards showing faith in the fringe players and have the big guns on the bench just in case. But when I say fringe I'm talking Kelly and Tavares, not Andrews and Lusala.
