    I was quite surprised that he was omitted from the matchday squad, I thought he would be very much a McCall type player.

    Yeah but it’s useful to have a left foot in that position. I don’t think we have an upgrade on the books.

    The last time I asked about cover, last year I think. We have covers for frost, not rain although it might keep some rain out.

    Stuart mentioned having a trialist in at the moment. I’d love to know if it’s a battling midfielder. I can’t think of any position that needs strengthening before that.

    Surely he only got a 1 game ban which applied for the Oldham match?

    Strange that Stu feels the need for an AM, when we've got Devit who he didn't play on Saturday. Like someone speculated, maybe he had an additional one match punishment by the club - although I don't think we've done that before.
    I do think we need someone in the centre who can run at defenders. Reeves isn't that, and Cooke doesn't do it as much as he should. Devit would be the answer for that role, but I don't see any problem having someone else who can do that.
    For me, McCartan is wasting his time here. He's been given plenty of options, in plenty of positions and hasn't made any impact. Can't make a career on a few free kicks.

    Shocked if this goes ahead considering

    a) recent downpours
    b) state of our pitch as a result of a.

    pitch.jpg I believe this is a recent picture taken today, as you say not looking good.

    Forecast not good at all. Going to be about 1c during the day and evening will feel like -5c!! The cover is meant to protect down to -5c, so it should be ok, but depends of pavements and roads around the stadium. We have light snow tomorrow morning, then showers of snow throughout the day. So unless they change that, I think it will be touch and go if it is on.

    Looks exactly the same as it does most home games! :) Are you sure this wasn't taken last Saturday morning?

    It was a lovely day last Saturday and it cut up then any more rain will get it called off IMO we know it doesn't drain well, as a few have said any doubts it needs an early inspection for any travelling Stevenage fans.

    Forecast is bad and our pitch is equally bad. It won't be on. However there will be a crowd of 1. Fordy. What a real man he is!!!
