...so the management have a bit of a decision to make regarding which system to use; I'm sure I speak for most in saying I think we should revert back to 4-2-3-1:

                   Ross
Banks  Cooper  Baines  E.Jones
       Marriott(c)  Osborne
Amaluzor  Conn-Clarke  Newby
                  Angus

Could be well off, but I'm thinking the inclusion of James Jones last night means he's thinking of starting with 4-2-3-1 and Jake Cooper for the weekend, because I doubt he would have felt Jones needed the match fitness after the full 90 against Gateshead. Dior Angus needs to keep his minutes up too.

As an armchair manager, I would go with same lineup.

We'll see on Saturday.

Just seen PP post Gateshead interview. I think even PP and Neil are having a night off but will be there obviously taking notes etc, , I think reserve team manager and other team coaches will be running it Young lads given a go plus a couple of trialists, plus fringe first team players such as Tom Jones, Owen German etc will get a chance. Phil is using this game as an opportunity to give experience and bring on the development throughout which I think is a good idea

I like to see the young lads and fringe players get a run out and I’m one of the few who watch The CSC.

If you watch the Managers interview the camera framing made it look like PP has an Afro but in actual fact it was a Tree behind him.. Quite amusing. Good interview as well.

Based on that interview bought tickets for tomorrow, now 47 sold!! Thats poor, though some will pay cash I guess.

They intimated on RA today that Ross Speight was manging the team tomorrow, so likely all reserves and Academy. Whether anyone else from 1st team will play need to wait and see.

Got ours x 3

338 sold at that point

Didn't Parky say none of the new lads have release clauses? Certainly that'll help

That would be handy. Makes it easier to defend against.

4 from 4 is an excellent return, threadbare squad, all putting a shift in. End to end game that we had the better chances in overall and deserved the win. CCC getting better as season goes on. Newby with a good finish as well. If Amaluzor finds the end product he'll be mustard for us, his approach play is very good. Reminds me of JJ in early days. Defended well, silly push for the penalty on edge of the box. ref was OK, but too slow giving protection to CCC and others.

Hope you took the team with you and they aren’t travelling down on the day. If we are taking this seriously I don’t like hearing that we are travelling large distances on the day.

Marginal one for staying over, 144 miles from Egerton and 2.5 hrs at present.
