Be interesting to see if we are up against "clown" Vigs or "superman" Vigs today. Hes a real dual personality keeper.

Hes the only ex Town player in the squad for O's today no place for Nouble or Harry Smith.

Wow either Smith is injured or suffered a massive loss of form since he destroyed us at theirs

He was on the bench on Friday for them, he may have picked up an injury though.

From their forum....
Quote
Smith came out of the tunnel about ten minutes ago and is sitting in the dugout on his own.

Smith has gone from undropable under KJ to hardly making the starting 11 since RW came in and not made the bench on a couple of occasions too.

Think he has fallen out of favour, not really a Wellens player

I would take him back as an option up front.

Wellens does have previous for falling out with players for no discernible reason. He hated Bogle when he was at Donny.

I agree, hes good in the air and decent on the ground as a target man, is a threat at corners and set peices and has a career near to a goal every 3 to 4 game record and is still only 26.

As long as his head is in the right place he would be a good asset in this league. 13 goals in 39 games this season too.

Same issue for much of the season, a lack of strength in depth. If Baudry is not 100% then bar Williams the bench is pretty weak (which obviously isn't fair on Cowmeadow & Parsons) so I hope Town don't need to rely on it too much.

The starting XI is probably enough to do a JOB if they click (like many times we've wondered this season). Town are very much a WIP or Jekyll & Hyde team. We never really know which team will turn up. Could easily be 4 - 0 savages, 0 - 3 disgraces or no desire nil-nillers!

Heart (not Paul) says 3 - 0
Head (not Burt) says 0 - 0 / 1 - 1


Result: Draw

Paul Gallagher (Richie's mate not the forgotten Oasis lad) in attendance today, causing raptures in the Arkells Stand and sparking rumours of Towns next new manager.
Wellens praises Town fan turnout of 10k+ (narcissistically thinking it's because he has returned) and will refer to his legendary season, wishing that the crowds could have been there for his defining season as a manager.
No one talks about the ref as he manages to fall asleep next to JJW in what ends up being the type of match you'd see between two teams out of reach and thinking of next season/an Abu Dhabi apartment.

I hope the latter part is about as untrue as the first part.

Verdict: Talking of Oases, I reckon this one will be a damp squib!

Team as expected for me.  Baudry was never going to play 2 games this weekend, McKirdy was never going to be ready for this game (irrelevant of the noises being made in the press calls) and he would have been foolish to drop Egbo back to RB after the impact he had on Friday, so bringing Odimayo in was the sensible option.

Winning this game will come down to one thing, will Davison and Barry have their good shooting boots on today or not - time will tell

Used to love a bit of Trevor! Only received one in my "career". Had more yellow cards in real life than on the pitch!

Are you getting chance to make the trip again to Town before the season is out mate?
