    I am sort of excited. Looking forward to seeing Mayenda through the middle again. Chance to watch Watson again in red and white. Almost a debut from Aleksic who I hope shines brightly. Another chance to see if Hjelde is progressing as I think he is.

    Oh aye and Hume with his 23 injuries but playing anyway. I am just ganna call him Lee Majors and be done with it.

    Surprising team selection.

    Happy to see Hjelde get another opportunity. People don't rate him, largely because they feel he was poor when he came in last season, but personally I don't think he's let us down this season and he's only 21.

    Aleksic is the one most of us want to see get a game. Hopefully he's playing through the middle to see what he's really capable of.

    I'm absolutely fine with Watson starting, he's a talented player. I think fans not wanting him to play for us again are being a bit precious to be honest.

    Hopefully Jobe is just being rested as a precaution and it's nothing serious

    Imagine if we play well, and win well, with this team ...

    ... it'll give us confidence and make our rivals realise we have strength in depth.

    Fine work RTB, thankyou again. Think if we get a point and Bristol don't win, playoffs secured so I'll settle for the draw , see a nice performance and see the players coming in showing what they can do

    A win tonight and 2/3 other results going our way and we're right back amongst it. Just got to keep winning and believe until the end.

    Hjelde has been way beyond decent. Deserves more credit for riding it out and finding his feet.

    No qualms whatsoever when I see him come on now, or names as tonight.

    I think because of how many still have to play each other 4 teams can’t pass us now anyway so we’re secure, enjoy the ride, get minutes in legs ready for may

    He's done a job every time he's come on, nothing flash just done his job and got on with things.

    He's another young lad finding his feet and has everything to gain starting tonight

    3/1 anytime on SkyBet so I’ve put him, Kane and Kone on a treble.

    19/1 good bet that.

    Good luck

    I do fancy Mayenda to score tonight, he’s improved massively in a short space of time.

    Love this stage of the season :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Kick off in 10 minutes and it’s still light outside.
