A tough game against A decent side who are pressing to get into the play offs. This will not be easy and we will need to be on our A game if we are to get anything out of this. Surprisingly we have a better record over the last five games than they have. They have won two and lost three whereas we have won two, lost two and drawn one. Nevertheless they are decent but not invincible.
We certainly look as if we have started to turn the corner with an encouraging second half performance last Saturday against PNE. Barring one wayward pass we would have taken all three points so we can look forward to Saturday with some confidence. Joe has had a week to work with Tango and Oba so they should both be fired up and ready to go. A welcome return to the squad too for Hutch and Tom so they should make the bench.
There should be changes in the starting line up as we looked so much better with Sav and Casper in the middle. Sarkic had little chance with PNE’s goal so he should wear the gloves. I would be surprised if we did not start with a back five. BNC should start on the right with Tango, Wes and Cooper as the back three. I wonder if Joe did enough to keep his place on the left or does Murray get a start? It’s a tough call.
For me Sav and Casper are nailed on but then who starts wide left? Longman is crocked so the choice could be Watmore or Honeyman. Another tough call. Flem played better last week and scored so he should be nailed on but is the lone striker Rab or Oba. It really depends if the latter has looked good in training and has enough gas in the tank to give us 60 minutes of high energy football. Who knows?
My thoughts are,
Shark
BNC Tango Wes Cooper Murray
Sav Casper Honeyman
Flem
Oba
Subs Bart Danny Hutch Esse Billy Campbell ( if he is still a Lion?) Watmore Rab Tom
