    And there is the problem that only Saints could think up. A win will lead to another 2 hours of agony in the next "must win game".

    Can’t complain at that team. Which is a worry.

    Arguably our strongest team on paper (maybe not on form because Brooks has been off it the past few games despite the assist on Saturday). But happy to see Manning back in. Shoehorn Stephens has actually been doing perfectly fine in my opinion but Bedders deserves his place back alongside THB. COYR!

    I'm still very much in the camp that has ruled out top 2 and accepted the play-offs.

    It makes the pre match experience much less stressful!

    In reality I know that. But accepting it makes every game a dead rubber. Clinging to the faintest of hopes makes each match exciting.

    Not dead rubber, but an opportunity to tweak it before the 3 big games of semi finals and final

    Happy with that well balanced team with a lot of attacking threat

    Bazunu has injured himself in the warm up

    I thought Lumley was on the bench ready to go but then they showed McCarthy warming up :emoticon-0138-think

    Alex McCarthy starting. **** me.

    If you were Joe Lumley, you'd be pretty pissed off right now.

    Can’t shoehorn play in goal?
    This will be interesting to see if we change our approach a little when knocking the ball around the 6 yard box.

    Don’t understand why Lumley isn’t playing, he is much better with his feet than McCarthy and surely can’t be any worse at shot stopping too?
