I suspect it'll be the team we were meant to see at the start of the Bromley game:     
           
                     Byrne

Welsh-Hayes  Jones    Baines   Jones

         Marriott     Lundstram

   Hulme (c)   Cashman   Sinclair

                    Linney

It's not time to write Cashman off just yet after a couple of poor appearances - especially given he'll be in his preferred role - but he does need to start showing us something. You earn the right to swagger around the pitch like CCC did; you just look like a berk otherwise.

I find it hard to opt for Osborne due to his defensive liabilities giving free kicks etc and for his relative lack of the creativity necessary for a number ten going forward.

It's not so long ago we were praising Osbourne for his link with Isaac Marriott, before Isaac was injured. He is starting to improve once again since Isaac returned and I feel we should stand by him.

Agree with Osbourne. We’ve all criticised him in recent months but I feel starting with when he came on as a sub at Chesterfield there’s been an uptick in his recent form so if he does get an opportunity to start then he’s earned it.

On a wider note tomorrow will be a really hard game. Woking are a top outfit this season & imagine they’ll bring decent numbers of 300-400 too so will be 2k plus tomorrow. On our side we simply have to be more switched on at set pieces & aggressive in defensive situations.

Linney to start & Cashman now Bennett will be on him for that number 10 position will need to begin to really up his game too. A draw would be a grand result but can we deliver a full 90 minute performance a la Wrexham and not what we served up on Tuesday?

Are we winning with Osborne in the team? Nope.

Not sure he has been very good? He has improved but does he improve the team? Nope

Doesn't create and is slow and gives away freekicks. In my opinion we are weaker with him playing.

He will start tomorrow but I think we are wasting games to get valuable points by letting him play, just because he has improved, from being absolutely bobbins.

My personal view is he a waste of a position.

We are much better with two actual wingers. Cashman or Bennett  no.10. I would be confident enough to say that giving Pringle or the United midfielder the same minutes as Osborne we would have seen a lot more.

That's a good shout. As you say, Osborne will most likely start but we could be better off giving Oyedele a chance.

Oyedele looked really exciting at Bracknell - but I don't think anyone knows what this United arrangement is.

I wouldn't be surprised if we're giving Oyedele the maximum minutes we're allowed to.

Of the top 6 teams ,Woking are the ones we should look to emulate going forward . No league history , some great cup runs , 3 Trophy wins and just lacking a league title at this level , steeped in non league tradition just like ourselves . Don't know their financial situation , otherwise if they can get up there so can we.

Can we wait to be nice to them until after we've beaten them tomorrow? 😉😂😂
