Pre match I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour in The Paramount.
But heaven knows I'm pretty cheerful now.
On a tight hydration schedule due to train shenanigans.
Will have to give posing in front of Salford Lads Club a miss.

Dry & chilly here. Game on.

This is a pretty crap away day if being honest.
The soul destroying walk through a desolate pub free wasteland from Crumpsall metro stop awaits.
Good for the step count though, then jump on a bus after the game.

Very good record against the over funded Ammies, even Morris managed to engineer a win here.

Brewitt has the challenge of squeezing Matt Smith into his pocket this afternoon.
Although the big man has yet to score against us in 5 previous appearances.
Get the impression that Salford can pack their team full of grandads when compared to our relatively fresh faced cherubs.
Never a guarantee that exerience will always win out over youthful exuberance.

Hopefully more reasons to be cheerful at 5pm.

Cracking Smiths references WB. Enjoy the day - although I think we lose today.

If Brewitt can nullify Smith today then I’m all in on the Brewitt fan club train

I have a feeling we will lose today, they have been on a great run recently until last weeks last minute defeat to Wrexham they had won the previous 3 games in the league and Matt Smith is on 9 goals like Young (although from 2 more games) so will be a handful as he always is especially from set pieces.

At home they have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 3 so far scoring 9 goals and conceding 10.

In away games we have won 1, drawn 3 and lost 2 scoring 10 and conceding 12 goals.

They play some decent football do Salford, they like to keep possession and pass it around a fair bit, but still utilise the huge Matt Smith up front as a target man and is a big threat from free kicks and corners due to his 6 foot 6 frame.

In defence they have Adrian Mariappa who so nearly joined us instead of Salford when he left Burton but is now captain at Salford.

We have only lost 1 of the 5 matches played against this lot, with all 3 games played in Salford so far ending with a single goal Town win. 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2.

To be postboned you first have to be preboned, though!

I expect our game (and most of the FL program) to be cancelled due to health and safety both in and outside the ground(s).
