Thanks.

so Tomlinson almost certainly out (groin) and FBT a doubt (toe).

Will this force us to 4 at the back,  with no left back I guess he's going to have to recall Clayton and/or Minturn

I take it we’ve never lost 5 on the spin in L2.

Honestly, some of the absolute dross we’ve been beaten by this season. Embarrassing.

I’ll go but will be the penultimate match of the season for me, despite having a season ticket I’m not going to bother putting in the effort to go to the 2 upcoming midweek home games.

Would be nice to see the players at least put in an effort but even then not convinced we’ll get any kind of result.

Build your own defence from Hutton, Lavinier, Clayton, Brewitt and Minturn. Would have to be Lavinier LB I guess. Not encouraging.

Ouch. I can understand.
This is often the case when the club is on a wretched run.
Can't wait for the season to end.

We lost 5 in a row in Div 4 in 1982/83 which wasnt even our worst season finish, we only won 1 game in 13 with 8 being defeats, a run which cost Trollope the managers job.

Also 2017 we had a run of 5 defeats in a row under Flitcroft.

Since the year 2000 we have had a lot of bad runs.

Runs of 5 defeats in a row.
L1 April 2021,
L1 October 2020,
L2 November 2017,
L1 January 2017,
L1 October 2015,
L1 October 2003

L1 August 2002 was 7 in a row.

L1 August 2005 was 8 in a row.

Oh, no we will be well down on our quota of left backs in the team!

Morris is going to have to go and be a bit unconventional and play centre backs at centre back (you’d hope) you watch this make shift left backless central defensive pairing keep a clean sheet now!

…or he’ll squeeze in 3 at the back and Wakeling at LWB - if that’s the case I’d walk straight out.

You'd think Hutton Brewitt Clayton Lavinier would be 'okay'.

I’d argue that, that is 3/4th of our strongest back line anyway…


           Minturn Brewitt Clayton
Hutton                                     Lavinier

Even if Morris wants to stick with wing backs that still looks pretty ok to me.
