I think we'll make a fair few changes. McFadz to come in as the experienced head and give Kelly the night off. I'd also be tempted to try something a bit different with O'Hare. Hiwula and Jobello have been very quiet in recent games so I wonder if O'Hare might be able able to play one of those role? I'm not sure whether to play Jobello to try and get his confidence up though.

________________Wilson
Dabo_____McFadz______Hyam_____Watson
_______O'Hare___Eccles____Burroughs
_____Wakefield___Biamou___Kastaneer

Subs: Marosi, Williams, Drysdale, N'Gandu, Walters, Jobello, Bremang

Do you still have to start with five players who were in the previous match day squad?

It would be almost impossible for us not to do that wouldn’t it ?.

Wilson, Biamou, kastaneer, McFaz and Watson will all likely start and they were all subs yesterday

Expect it will be:
Wilson
Watson- Williams-Mcfadzean-Mccallum
-------eccles
Westbrooke-burroughs
Wakefield-Baka-/biamou-walters

I expect Westbrooke to play simple because O'Hare will likely start on saturday

Got to rest as many first teamers as possible within the rules. Huge game Saturday but also because they need a rest. 8 games in August is mental

Let's take the fine and play the team that suits the bigger game Saturday.

Kastaneer and Max have to play to help get match fitness. If Westbrooke is to be replaced by O'Hara, I agree - let him play in this.

Wilson
Watson Mcfaz Williams Mcallum
Wakefield Ngandu Eccles Kastaneer
Bapaga Max

This would be the team I would opt for but it would require a 442 which I am not sure MR will go for as it does not fit his philosophy atm.

I'd quite like to see Dabo start in this one, bring his confidence back up a bit after the Oxford game as one of our strongest starters. I'd then play a mix of our subs/youth with a couple of first teamers, maybe start O'Hare to add a bit of a lively cat amongst the pigeons. Would be nice to boost confidence of a few with a goal or two. Would be good also to see Biamou start, dependant on fitness/injury maybe even Allen/Jones on the bench to appear for the last ten. Personally I'd have

----Eccles-----O'Hare-----Burroughs----
Jobello----------Biamou----------Kastaneer

Hoping that the following start: Kastaneer, Max, either Ngandu or Burroughs (or both but doubt it), Williams, Eccles, Bapaga and Wakefield.

You really think that 10 and a half months after tearing his ACL for the second time, Jodi Jones will be on the bench?

I don't think we will ever see Jones in any meaningful way. He will be too physically fragile for the rest of his career. I am also unconvinced he is good enough for the top half of L 1.

I'd definitely give McCallum a rest for this game (mentally more than anything so he's fresh for the weekend) and give Watson an opportunity to settle in and let MR have a look at him. Which I'd have LB and which RB not sure though

I agree with the overall assessment sadly but I think it'll be more a mental than physical thing. You could see how tentative he was last time so after a second you could see him not wanting to take on his man in case he gets clattered or put a foot in for fear of injury.

I hope I'm wrong but I think this season most we'll probably see of him is U23 to improve his physical and mental fitness.

At least if/when JJ comes back, he can have a flat pitch to try and twist and turn on. Let's hope it's not a twist followed by a shout!

Anyone planning on going? Do you know what block people will sit in for these games? The attendance will likely be ~1k so want to make sure I'm sitting with some people.

And i wanna win the entire comp again as always. Fringe could get us to knockouts for sure

I want us to progress and do well because we have quite a few players to give games to who you wouldn’t want playing in the league just yet but could break through somewhat soon.
I also want to be able to watch as many games as possible on iFollow to make up for the 1.5 games that were stolen from me.
But most of all, I want us to do well regardless of what competition we’re in.

Hate comments like this - what do you know about it? He has got every chance of recovering from this injury, physically and mentally
