I don't think we should drop Jake Cooper after one poor performance unless he's struggling for fitness.

We decided to over-react after the Aldershot game - and look where that got us. It'll be a one-off, he struggled with the conditions.

Lewis Banks back to right back for me, Justin Donawa should be considered as a forward option off the bench. Hancox at left back if Eddy is still unavailable.

The main rotation we should be considering is obviously Regan Linney - and I'd also be keen to give Dan Mooney a go from the start too.

Agree with that apart from only playing Mooney from the off if Amaluzor isn't fit to start.

I think we should be concentrating on how we're going to keep our first eleven rather than pricing them up for transfer.
Progress would include building our squad rather than replacing some of it.

Knowing Alty, we'll probably battle along until it all rests on getting a win from our last match at home to already - relegated Oxford.
Then we'll draw! 🙄

I've said it before but we have a really good first 11. Any injuries e.g. to Isaac and Eddie leaves us very short. We're a good side and we are progressing. Next year will be better.

I truly believe that. That'll do for me as we're on the right track and improving steadily.

Oxford City in a vital final game has Eastbourne stamped all over it.

Didn't want to utterly jinx us by mentioning that gutting afternoon but it was certainly in my thoughts.

Reality Check :

Despite what I've just said, I think the vast majority of people on here would have grabbed our current situation with both hands if offered it at the start of the season. I know very well that I would.

Well it's pretty well unanimous on here then! 👍
Let's just hope that the Club feel the same way.
Good point re Chesterfield at Oldham.
Also agree with the Bradford comment.

I think what you need to consider is would you rather gain a bit of gate money or consolidate a play off spot?
Any cash lost would be more than compensated by having a better shot of promotion.
