The Burnham match.

[3spirit]

Wonder if we decide to keep all the same line-up,as Saturday's game? Given that we've got Poole this Saturday and the understandably tired legs of our older players from the Weymouth game?

 

With this in mind,would have thought that Johnny Dyer,Tom Moran and Dobbo come into the reckoning. 

[Reading Rebel]

Not sure age will be a factor but I would think it's highly likely that JD and Dobbo will be in the starting 11.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Seems Ben joins Adrian on the injury list for tonight. I would imagine that puts Tom Moran in the centre of midfield either in a 3 like Saturday or a 4 with Dobson coming back in and one of the defenders dropping out.

I can't see either Hollis, Yorke or Jeffreys dropping out.

 

Maybe a straight switch Moran for Edwards and JD for Hatchett.

 

Obviously not that Hatchett deserves to be dropped but we do have a big game on Saturday to think about.

Are you saying that tonights game is not a big game

[GlenSTFC]

Yes it's our biggest game of the season Mann!

[Reading Rebel]

Sincerest apologies mann.

 

Of course what I should have said was 'another big game on Saturday to think about.'  

[Graham Cox]

Incidentally, is there an inspection at Holloways or can we just assume the game is on?

[Mr Rebel]

In many ways tonights game is bigger than the Weymouth and Poole games in that its a local derby and a game based on table placing is a game we should probably be winning.

 

Increased expectation of a win and being a derby makes it tougher even than Weymouth and Poole you could maybe argue

 

Definitely understand the possibility of rotating some players but those coming in are just as capable as those who come out.

 

Just hope we have the same intensity and focus that we had on Saturday. Feels like years since we did the double over a derby team

Was thinking the same thing! Anyone know?

Unfortunately that's when upsets happen.

 

It's a local derby where form and league placings go out of the window.

[Ian]

They've been doing inspections every hour since the end of Saturday's game and will be continuing them right up to 7:44pm tonight, just to ensure that everyone who prefers early or late inspections is kept happy!

[Reading Rebel]

I think what the pitch is like at about 3 at the latest should indicate whether the game has a chance of being on or not. 

[Radders]

But Ian can you please outline the result of each individual inspection?

[GarySTFC]

I'm keen to read the analysis of the 3.44am inspection from this morning.

[Jon Underwood]

Just spoken to Mark Hunter who was on the pitch at the time. He said the pitch is in very similar condition (in terms of the frost) to Saturday with just one small area of concern being the far right hand corner as you look down the pitch from the covered end.

 

With the temperature currently around +4 and according to Met Check website it's only due to drop to +2 this evening we are confident that the game will go ahead.

 

The referee is arriving at 6pm and will obviously be taking a look at the pitch straight away so I'm sure any change to the above will be communicated by the club asap at that point.

[Ian]

Radders - I can't relay the results of each inspection as, quite frankly, I can't be ars*d. However, to answer Gary's specific question about 3:44am this morning the information I have back is that it was "f***ing freezing".

[HorshamRebel]

Game ON

[Reading Rebel]

Well done to the team tonight!

 

To play that badly, losing 2-1, then go down to 10 men and still come away with a point.

 

Absolutely brilliant!

 

COYR!!!

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

We were not good today and Imho would have lost without the sending off (which was an appalling decision) firing us up. Credit to dobbo, couldn't donanything right all game then put in a stinking corner for the equaliser.

 

Mom martin great all round performance and stunning strike
