Hopefully no banana skins today. Fully think if we play well we will win. That said i expect them to setup all 11 in their box and hit on the break. 3-1 (again)

Win. Clean Sheet. No injuries.
I don't ask for much.

I had a dream that we won 4-0, Drinan hat trick and I got the fourth.
So I’ll stick with 4-0, Drinan hat trick but Glatzel getting the fourth.

This, even a scrappy 1-0 would do me. |

8 games vs these and only 2 wins with 4 draws and 2 defeats.
We havent beaten them in the last 4 meetings.
5 wins in the last 6 league games for Towon vs 1 win in the last 6 league games for them, got home defeat written all over it!
Keep the ball on the deck and play flowing passing football and we will stuff them, no doubts, if we resort to longer balls pumped forwards for Drinan/Palmer then I fear we wont do as well.
They always play a pressing game with long fast balls hitting teams on the break so I assume they play the same way this season too.
They are a team with no standout stars who play for each other and are hard to break down and only Grimsby have scored more than twice against them since April.
Guyana international Winger Stephen Duke-McKenna is their top scorer on 3 goals with all others on just a single goal this season.

Think this one will be harder than some are expecting. Still think we're good enough for the win though. Think we'll see something similar to the Shrewsbury game with a strong period resulting in a goal and then the subs upsetting the flow. So going 2-1 again and similarly a late winner.

Indeed, we have enough in the locker to beat every team in this league with ease, but conversely every team has an off day at times and mistakes happen, just like Barnet. No game is a foregone conclusion and I expect a very tough game. |

Nichols out of the squad replaced by Clarke, the 2 loanees on the bench for Kirkman and MacGregor.

Don’t mind any three from Nichols, Oldaker, Clarke and Kilkenny in the middle.
Hopefully they can boss things today.

We have the quality to boss the game all over the pitch, Clarke adds a bit more tackling than Nichols for me. |

While you're undoubtedly right, I've been impressed with Nichols' unexpected tenaciousness, he does like to get stuck in. |
