Last comment about going at them is correct.

Perhaps ralphy for Stu?

Robbie for peyton if fit.

I've not seen Stu play since his return from injury so you are in a better position than I to judge that.

However, I do strongly believe that we should play the above outfield players in the 3-4-3 formation that won us so many games a couple of months ago.

My starting lineup for Boxing Day would be as follows:

Coburn

Smith
McGregor
Young

Doughty
Densmore
Danylyk
Peyton

Elam
Little
Johnson

I feel a bit harsh leaving out Senior but I think his pace would be a valuable weapon later in the game against tired defenders. O'Neill to come on for his annual goal away at Vics as well! 

I think the above starting lineup would put them under lots of pressure which is the way we must approach a game like this. If you take the fact it's a derby game out of the equation just for a second it's a game against a lowly side who are very low on confidence. We must be in their faces from the very first whistle to the last!

Irrespective of the time of year I think a team on a seven (now eight) game winning streak at the top of the league really ought to have brought more than they did today, especially when you consider we're one of their nearest opponents.

lewis not involved again for aldershot today , despite being skint could be worth a cheeky loan attempt ?

Would be just what we need but there's no way we could afford him.

Can we please revert to the 3-4-3 formation for Boxing Day?

We actually won games when we used these tactics. It's not rocket science.

Please score Alty!

For me we now have nothing to lose. Get Elam on for Peyton and have a go at them!
