Tough, tough game again - they went and beat Chalfont 3-1 away last night. Hoping that Bully and Bunts are back, and maybe Hally.

Although much has been made of injuries, by my reckoning we have 17 fit players to select from this week, so should be capable of putting out a strong starting X1 and full complement of subs.

If Hall and Butt are fit they can be added to squad.

Ps what has become of Da Costa?

Perhaps a bit controversial, but will Matt Pinder be available? Given that he collected more than twenty goals last year and he's generally done quite well as a sub, maybe it would be worth giving him and Berwick the first half to try and test the opposition goalkeeper? I'm sure Matt would bite your hand off if you offered him the chance, and it's exciting to see products of the youth system coming through to the first team.

I like Pinder from what I've seen so far, adds a burst of pace and energy that Liversedge doesn't have. I'd love to see him play some more!

Hell of a difference between playing the second tier of English Colleges League and the Southern League. Give the boy a chance to develop properly.

No problem in giving him a chance now and then, don't think anybody's expecting him to become a first team regular just yet. Some lads have no fear at a young age and may actually help him quicker. Does show that quite a few of us believe we have a striker problem right now

Goals should come from all over the pitch. Being third highest scorers in the league is a problem most other teams would relish

I can't be there today, but will be thinking of Dale Roberts at 3.24pm - can't believe it's 5 years on Monday!!

Good luck to all the lads today, we're top of the table for a reason - so let's go out and win !!

Looks like a good signing in Richards - good luck to Steve Spriggs, never got to see the best of him sadly! Richards looks an exciting prospect though, step 3 experience !!

Indeed, was Stamford's longest serving player and a member of the Daniels Step 4 promotion side a couple of years or so ago.
