Not a problem here. An easy 3 points and back to scoring a few. Wright due a goal or two, Saka back, Milan fit and Bidders showing he will not be a forgotten man. Eccles to the bench. 4-0

Thats down to Rudoni for me. He slows us right down with his current main character syndrome. Dont know if he's believing his own hype but we've looked shit going forward since he came back in and its the elephant in the room. Wants to be the source of everything


Hes an unbelievable player at this level and im not advocating to drop him but hes pissing me off, stay central and do what you do in the 10, there's no one better in this league at it

Hard for him to stay central when he’s playing on the wing (although he tries his best!)

Rudoni was brilliant end of last season because he was often the source of everything going forward. He just needs to find a bit of form.

Reading their forum, they seem confident due to their recent run of 3 wins in 4 games and our run of 1 win in 4. They have a few danger men in Galbraith, Vipotnik, Tymon and a new manager (Matos) that seems to be getting a tune out of them. Hope we are able to field more of our starters (Thomas, Kitching and Saka) for this one although our second stringers didn't do any harm to stake a claim for a place. Obviously someone needs to fill in at LB. This match could potentially see Rushworth, Grimes, Lati and Bidwell facing off against their former team. Their defender Cameron Burgess has scored 3 own goals this season and hope his generosity continues.

I wouldn't underestimate them and hope we can eke out a win considering form, fitness, injuries/illness and suspensions.

The other 3 games referred to was a loss to Stoke and home wins against Portsmouth and Oxford.

Hard to predict the team when we don’t know who is out but I don’t hate the thought of a back 5 here

Galbraith is the standout player and I rate Vipotnik but he’s been feeding off scraps all season. Truth is though we’ve just played 3 out of the last 4 away from home at PNE, Ipswich and Southampton with illness running through the side. They’ve had a far easier run of games and needed a double Collins to win last week.

If illness continues to be affecting our squad anything can happen of course.

Brau to step into Da Silva place for me Torp and Milan were coughing when they came off so hopefully it's gone by boxing day as I think these two played not feeling great.

I really do not know what to expect with LB

I think it will be Bidwell

Could equally be KKH

But I'd like to see Brau there.

If we are playing a back 3, then I expect to see Brau play LWB. If it's a back 4, then Bidders at LB.

So likely to depend on Sakamoto, Thomas & Kitching being fit.

We should re-sign Gary Breen, then we'll have all positions covered. Still a free agent, I believe?

In terms of players illness, I think the players that were suffering but still played should be fine (relative). If they can get through that, a few days rest can only help.

Kitching and Thomas could still be out since they missed a game and could be hitting them harder.

I can see the players missing are the ones that haven't been mentioned in the press.

I think it will be Bidwell, but with Brau getting maybe half an hour (especially if we're winning).
