    Crawley play in a 442 formation so it will be interesting to see how Derek Adams sets up City to counter it.

    If this carries on, it's going to be quicker to state those players who aren't suffering from "strains".

    Wasn't Sparks supposed to be eradicating this?

    Chance for Crankshaw? I hope he gets a chance and plays well.

    Not great that all those players will missed the game at Crawely but that's only Vernam out of last Saturdays starting 11, so as you say Crankshaw for Vernam.

    Don't mind that Crankshaw will get his chance but sad for Vernam who was giving his all

    If Gilliard leads the attack we will struggle

    So our reworked for this season physio department is being tested early.

    I'm glad I bet on the home team to win. Printing money!

    Agree Vernam has look a real threat in recent games.

    I don't get this currently. Adams talks about selecting players who are doing well in training. Well frankly that's not translating out onto the match day pitch. I'm mystified why Songo'o isn't starting every game but Evans is. Key!

    Surely it's because Yann isn't fit and when he's played when he hasn't been quite fit enough he's been poor

    The emphatic home victory over Stevenage, and the exciting victory at Mansfield are fading quickly into the distant past.
    Sadly , I expect nothing more than a defeat tomorrow, maybe a draw if we work hard and get a break.

    Can’t see anything other than a defeat with that injury list

    Adams has said we are going there to win. Good chance that won't happen with the current injury list as you say, but credit to him for not trying to use that as an excuse.

    It’s admirable and I hope we do but not feeling too optimistic. Hope so for all those who are travelling

    Don't say that mate. I've bought my match ticket and train tickets and also booked Saturday night shift off. I'd rather put off feeling depressed until after the game.

    To be fair, Crawley may have a depleted defence, so hopefully evens itself out regarding injuries.

    I am quite optimistic we can come back with 3 points tomorrow
