There's a change of venue on Saturday. Details on the club's website.

Not ideal given the big push for ticket sales.

No, but at least we're still playing, meeting our fixture commitments, and saving our pitch until we can get it sorted.

Its not like fans are going to the ground!

Just so long as they see a team playing some good football and watching games when we are back at ML

I'd misread the article, I thought it was going to be at Borehamwood.

Regardless of the last result, I feel more confident on their pitch than ours - and at least the weather's warmer this time.

I thought they looked poor at their place, but they're clearly no mugs given their league position - hoping we'll have enough for the win.

Argument to bring in some experienced heads - Hannigan & Sutton, Dens at right back - to steady the ship a bit?

They lost last night against Yeovil. Should make for a spicey encounter. Both teams have a oint to prove.

I do think we've not rotated as much as we might have done. Richman and Densmore have barely featured at all. It was mentioned at the start of the season that one of the problems we've had at this level in recent years has been that we've had a small squad and they've become exhausted towards the end of the season. We have a bigger squad this time but we need to make more use of it to avoid the same outcome.

As much as there's an argument that the youngsters don't need a rest, there's the counter-argument that they should be managed appropriately like Foden at City.

Whoever plays across defence or midfield doesn't really weaken us significantly (if at all), we're very lucky in that respect.

Phil mentioned this in his post-match interview after Yeovil saying players had been playing a lot of minutes. Kosylo has played every game I think. He also mentioned that him and Sorvs had split the season into 4 and would be relying on the squad in this next segment. We might see a few changes on saturday but the luxury of it is we have some great players to step in if needs be. A fit Dens and Richman  could be ideal at this point of the season to give that little boost we've lacked in our last 2 fixtures.

My worry is that the two of them have had so little football over the last two or three months and so both are likely to be rusty. I guess Dens in particular might have gone out on loan in a normal season to get some match practice but that's obviously not an option currently.
