    We need to force Boro to have the ball today. In their 5 league games they've won the possession battle 3 times and haven't won a game when doing so, whereas when the opposition has had more possession Boro have won both games. We can pick them off with the press like we have done so already this season.

    They'll create chances, they are the best in the division at doing so, we just need to hope their finishing continues to be poor and Patterson has a better game.

    2-2. Mundle and Roberts.

    They do create a lot but last time out they created less than we did at Plymouth.
    They have given away a few goals due to defensive mistakes - the longer they have the ball the more likey they are to concede <cheers>

    Don't think Ballard is playing. The lad on the mic in the family zone has just said a few players are coming to sign autographs and hinted Ballard might be one of them.

    Good, the lad plays full throttle and has a knock after a lay off already rather not have him today than not have him for 2 month

    Happy with Mepham. Games like this will be a big learning curve for that young midfield, hopefully if the games slipping RLB brings Browne on sooner rather than later. Personally would’ve had Isidor up top but not a bad team at all.

    Think so. The one I would have went with. Maybe Wilson but he is a goof option off the bench.

    Yeah. From what I heard they were meant to go in the final day but didn't get the moves.

    If they can't get in front of under 23s the writing is on the wall
