    Boldly going where I have been before! Hoping for both 3 points and an entertaining game. Sadly not overconfident.

    Chose not to go to Morecambe and was away for the Crewe game.

    Looking forward to that pre match beer @Ulysses S Grant@Ulysses S Grant ;) and the banter.

    As I have said before, a good way of keeping up with friends and family.

    If Hughes is as frustrated as you think, then WTF doesn't he try changing his boring approach to games ?

    I think with our two proven goalscorers out and the only other one looking likely. It will be even more safety first on Saturday

    Please nooooo. I want to see us going forward, if we lose we lose it is 1 point. Let’s see what we can do if we attack

    Can't see us winning this 2-1 based on their decent form the last couple of games and no idea who will score for us!

    Going to be a good away following and an early goal and they'll be noisy and then we'll just faff about passing it sideways with no threat.

    Am sure you mean our possession based football pulling our opponents out of shape before our cultured midfield release a pin point pass leaving the opposition flat footed providing one of our mobile speedy strikers the opportunity to slam it home to make it 3-0
    Apologies if not

    Can't see why they just wouldn't give us the title right now.

    Yeah, especially up front we really don't have any options.

    We're going to really be relying on Smith and Walker there, IMO.

    Of course there are some pretty big lads in there, too, so we need to make the most of corners.

    What are the chances of Cook being back for this one? Pattison too?

    Hughes said after the Mansfield game that both are going to be missing for a few more weeks.

    Can't help but feel we are playing you at the right time with your injury issues - we have a very good first 11 but little depth ; you would say it's a bad time to play us as the 11 best players are all still available so far .

    You watch you will beat us convincingly now !

    Except Vernam!

    With the law of the ex and all that, I wouldn't have wanted Vernam and Eisa running at us all afternoon...

    Unfortunately Vernam's injury is a bad one so he is out for 4 months minimum . We are now pretty reliant on Eisa staying fit !

    Watch out for Conteh in midfield , he's far too good for league 2 , I'm not sure how we signed him but he will play higher up for sure.
