I would be surprised if Justin Donawa is available, given that Bermuda have another crucial game tomorrow evening.
The only other alternative (in my opinion) to your own lineup is bringing James Jones into the back line, asking Lewis Banks to push further forward, start with Linney and Newby leading the line and dropping Justin Amaluzor to the bench to give them something to worry about for the last half hour.
I do think Linney and Newby could make a good footballing partnership (alongside CCC) - they're both very good with the ball at their feet, and in this particular fixture Newby won't need any encouragement given he was released by Rochdale the summer before last.
How on earth have we contrived to lose that game?!
Both their goals arose from us giving away possession on the fringe of their penalty area.
We were pedestrian for much of the first half and guilty of overelaborating around their penalty area.
However, we dominated the second half and penned them back for long periods.
Newby, Angus and Amaluzor were all underwhelming, and I still remain unconvinced by Banks.
Conn-Clarke certainly wowed the rather annoying commentators on the streaming.
Hugely frustrating.

Hopefully we’ll see Linney back out there tomorrow!
