If Rogers and ELJ (who I presume will start) are on their game it should feel like 4-2-4 to their back 4 ;)

So bloody annoyed to be missing this one !!

Likely that Tom Lorraine will not be fit, so any two from Dunks, Turner, Joseph and Berwick.
It could be " a game of two halves" and all four make an appearance.

Do we play Dunks and Berwick based on their past record together or do we go for Turner and Joseph who are currently more familiar with each other.?

Is Dunks fully fit? Can he do 90 mins? Is Joseph just a super sub? Is Turner on form at present? Do we play Berwick from the start?

Glad I'm not Peaksy and Lamb!!!

We need to be positive, (take the game to them) 4-4-2.

Turner must start, (Peaksy) to me Turner must start gives us so much more options, and I think that Joseph should partner him.

We lost to Oadby and didn't start Turner, Turner is a must start. With Dunks and Berwick on bench. Dunks causes Holbeach all sorts of problems late on (if needs be) and with Berwick raring to go on late on.

Peaksy, Turner and Joseph start.

Come on Diamonds, come on. :D

I think Peaksy is a bit old to start.

Is there a pitch inspection?

We must embrace the fact that recent results have forced us to approach this game with only one tactic in mind - to get at them from the first whistle and score goals. The defeat at Oadby cost us the option of going up to Holbeach and attempting to 'match' them or cancel them out in a tight game. This is no day for 4-5-1 or cagey tactics, a draw realistically will not be enough. If we show more desire than them to get all 3 points (and they may well play within themselves knowing a draw is good enough for them) then we could well do it
