Thanks Amsterdam! I'm blaming you for that! 😂😂
Seriously though, shocked by the self inflicted problems we've generated with switching about.
All the good tension I'd been holding in has dissipated and I can just settle back and enjoy us being top half. 🙄😒

Some context re. tomorrow's visitors, courtesy of the splendid John Laidlar:

"It's now four defeats on the spin in the league for Alan Devonshire's men, who briefly rekindled hopes of a play-off charge earlier this month... Since then, missed chances and misfortune have afflicted the team at a crucial juncture of the season, with the side losing a game they should have handsomely won at Boreham Wood before going down to a 2-1 defeat in the 98th minute at FC Halifax Town last week.

Saturday's 3-1 loss to Oldham Athletic and last night's 2-1 loss to Southend United were much more disappointing performances and few could argue they deserved anything from either contest.

United briefly came to life towards the end of the first half, when Kevin Lokko rose well to head home Sam Barratt's free kick to make it 1-1, but generally, they were second best to a Shrimpers side who started the night four points below them in the National League table....

Devonshire's men hav[e] failed to score more than one goal in all but one of their last 12 matches, now 13. It means that whenever they fall behind, there's a general unease about whether they have the firepower to get back into a game."
0-4 to them it is then

I usually like your witticisms AA but don't even think that! 😉

He definitely needs regular game time and will get it at Chorley.
He's definitely a keeper for next season imvho.

That's undoubtedly the side to put out.

I'm more than surprised if you think that.

Caught between a rock and a hard place with a relatively small squad.
We've really got to win the Maidenhead game now. They don't let many in so our forwards will need to take the few chances come their way.
I'm fearful we'll end up getting a dour 0-0.
Truly hope I'm being too pessimistic and we can get three points.

Does anyone else think that this could not go too well this evening?
Having said that, Parky is challenging the regular bench to show us what they're made of.
I just pray they can rise to the challenge!
Come on you Super Robins 👍

I actually thought Kosylo looked pretty sharp when he came in at Aldershot. Agree too that Mooney could do as good a job as any of the other forwards.

He was my mom

What a rum family you've got RiS! 😉

As an aside, after reading today's JL page, is Joey Jones staying on the books/payroll until the end of the season whilst recovering and then goodbye? Or is he in our plans longer term?

Our starting 10 outfield players are a way in front of the bench and squad players
In many ways that's a good thing isn't it? 😏
Having said that however it's still a good bench with Mooney, Kosylo, Roscoe etc available to provide options in games and give people a breather when possible.

I think changes in the starting line up should happen only because of injury. Substitutions when possible should spread the workload a little but, as has been noted elsewhere, surely fulltimers should be able to manage two games a week for a month or so?
Injuries are a much greater threat than tiredness I would have thought.

Hope Parky stays with the same starting eleven.
They're allowed the odd hiccup.
I fancy they'll come into this with a point to prove and get something from this game! 😉

I took it that he was asking regular attenders to bring their friends along to try and get them hooked.
