    With regard to Aribo, people who we don't rate who have started a game and proved us wrong (after a dodgy start)

    Holgate.
    Bree.

    At 5pm add:

    Joe Aribo.

    This will be a tough match with Downes missing but I'm hoping that we can sneak a 1-0 win with Adarma getting the winner.

    Cameron Bragg. 12 year old midfielder (or at least he looks about 12).

    Are we looking for a New England midfielder?

    No need to feel Downes when you can Bragg about your Smallbone.

    Hoping we are going to be a bit more direct today. Think we will struggle to win the midfield with just one defensive mid

    Downes is a massive miss, hope he’s back asap with so many games coming up. Interesting choice to not replace him with Smallbone. Does feel like we are light on defensive, enforcing qualities in the middle. Downes is so often the outball for the defence when we try and play out when put under pressure too. We need Charles to have a great game today! COYR

    TBH I think Aribo is more physical than Smallbone so I get his inclusion.

    Any relation to Billy? Could he be a great leap forward?

    Same. Aribo and Adams are both physical and I think that’ll be important today. Martin highlighted that.

    Hammond and the commentator talking about Long scoring in 7.69 seconds yet neither can remember how he did it. Incisive comments.

    One of those games where it's all about the result. I couldn't care about the performance. It's a hard enough game anyway, let alone being without Downes who is a massive miss. We don't have anyone else who can play that role like he can.

    Are we lining up 4-1-4-1 or 4-1-3-2?

    I assume Aribo is not playing CDM alongside Charles?
