    We're looking a bit light in central midfield what with Mansell, Beard and Lawrence out.

    We do not need an injury to Ollie or Lines.

    Anyone know when the above will be back in action?

    Nope but I don't think Mansell's injury is all that bad. Yes like a few other fans of said we do need a MC as cover

    Not a great answer this but we could alway recall Gosling from his loan who can play CM.

    Mansfield aint far away and may even appear over these next 2 games ;)

    Ollie Clarke deserves a start regardless... He has played well and is a threat in front of goal. Lines has also started showing some form a deserves a start.
    Montana scored a great goal at Newport and caused a few problems to Newports defence.
    I think our midfield is not looking to bad.
    I think we will miss Lockyer the most?

    As long as there are no injuries we should be ok but if any of our M/F get injured we could be up the creek, the same applies to Tom Lockyer if he gets injured then I think we will struggle

    Glad that Mansell's almost back - Ollie and Lines are the only proper CM's we've got fit.

    DC said unless injuries are long term which he will tell the fans, other injuries he keeps quiet about so the opposition dont know. The fact he didnt strengthen the CM position tells me that Mansell and Lawrence are very close to returning.
