    Cheltenham it is then, just hope we're at the races from the off and can go the distance against them...

    Whichever way it went it would be one of Joel's loan teams.

    Watched us play Cheltenham at their ground in a pre-season friendly many moons ago.

    You mean one of Colwill's shots?

    Question is inside it or outside?

    Carrying on this thread to tonight’s game v Cheltenham.

    Will we see lot of changes to our starting lineup? Personally I would like to see some of the first team given a rest before Saturday. Trott might need a rest as he looked like he was carrying a leg injury. Turnbull as well but his injury could be worse. NG and Robertson should start if fit. Maybe a start for some of the youngsters knocking on the door and a strong bench if we need to call on the experienced players.

    Most of the youngsters have kicked the door down, not just knocked on it.
    They're starting every game.
    I said elsewhere, I don't know what is coming along behind or if they're ready.

    Turnbull is out, according to BBM.

    There have been a few changes and some rotation out of necessity so we don't need wholesale changes. Not players to be involved anyway. Willock is fresh in and Robinson hasn't played much. Rubin might need a breather along with Lawlor and Kpakio. It would be good for Turner to get another game.

    I'd go:
    Turner
    Ng Chambers Fish Bagan
    Wintle King
    Ashford Joel Willock
    Robinson

    Hopefully Robertson will make the bench. Add Salech and Davies and there's plenty off the bench.

    The only difference I would make Remote is Davies to start instead of Willock or Ashford.

    Wonder if BBM would consider playing Zak in his natural position through the middle instead of Salech/Robbo?

    Would certainly add another dimension to our attack and he's proven he's got an eye for goal.

    Not going to be much of a nuisance in the air though. I would start with Robinson.

    I'd keep Willock in there. He needs some minutes in his legs. It would be good to build his confidence after a pretty sound outing last Saturday.

    I'd like to see Mafico play a part in this game, having been taken off against Rotherham. Hopefully will keep his cool

    As said before, in his natural position not as an emergency LB. (Still no idea where Giles has disappeared to.)

    6 days to go for reinforcements.

    Just noticed that the U18’s and the U21’s are both in action today. This is the U18 lineup and the Nyakuhwa on the bench is the younger brother of the U21 lad. With both teams playing will this limit the availability of youngsters for the Cheltenham match?
