    Lincoln's centre forward reminded me of one I played against in the Keighley Sunday Alliance League.

    I personally don't think Grayson can make that many changes. I would like him to take out a couple of the passengers i.e. Vincalot & McMahon and give Shrewsbury something to think about, be bold maybe, it can't get any worse can it?

    Maybe not worse, but could well be the same. As you say, SG's options are limited, at best. Pace all over the field might be a start. Add a little bit of Youth, Hunger and a dash of ability, and who knows ? ;)

    Wholesale changes hopefully. Fringe and youth players should be given a chance after Saturday's debacle and we might see a team that actually look like they give a shit.

    Doubt Vincelot will play, it sounded like a bad injury and we haven’t had an update yet?

    As you get older (& hopefully richer) you will start going to away games and stop overnight. You will then have memories of nights out in strange places (Yeovil) and these memories will make you forget the game. You should also drink lots of beer as this helps also. As an added bonus you will meet Darren (ask a fan aged over 55) in these places and he will then offer you his pearls of wisdom from following City for 40 years. He will then become your friend even though you don't want to be friends.

    Alternatively you could travel with Shipley Bantams drink no (proper) beer and in 40 years time you will remember every game.

    He should have tried one of Patsy's excursions. He probably would never sleep right again ...... :)

    I’m actually going to miss a home match for the first time in a while. I’m going to visit family in Scotland so it can’t be helped really. I’m sure I’ll be included in the official attendance even though I’ll be 200 miles away though ;)

    All I’m hoping for is that if younger players are given a chance, that the crowd can show patience and support towards them even if the team or individual young players struggle in the match. I wouldn’t want a toxic atmosphere to be directed at young players who haven’t been given many chances before. I just hope we can get behind these young players who could have a future with us.

    In terms of the crowd, it will likely be recorded officially as 19,000. In some other midweek matches, the reality has shown a ground which was less than half full meaning below 12,000 in attendance. I’m guessing that this match will see a significantly less than a half full stadium with possibly as little as around 9,000 in the stadium. The apathy towards the team at the moment seems to really seems to be that strong, but I hope I’m wrong!

    I feel there will be a few changes, I think SG will stay and the last few games he has been giving players chance to prove themselves, dont think many have

    Saw a post from someone on 'tother site suggesting he plays the same team as they should be made to face a home crowd and everything that goes with that if they perform the way they did against Blackpool. It's a thought.

    Massive game for Shrewsbury after Wigan's win last night. They need to win to have a chance of the automatics.

    Personally, I'd love them to go up. They've had a cracking season.

    But, by God do we need a win.

    Until Alzheimer's kicks in then thankfully you get like Darren and his mates and talk crap whilst wondering why you are at a football match.

    Tomorrow will be a taste of things to come if ticket sales don’t pick up. At least all those there will be committed fans. Or they should be Commitec
