I hope we've got the players in training today in readiness for this game. Come on lads let's see what you're made of.

Any thoughts on this game?

Woods will have a couple of players out due to red cards a fortnight ago, but Niko Muir will be looking to score against the Diamonds for the third game running. We'll need to be disciplined to avoid playing against them with 10 men again.

Perhaps we might line-up Finlay, Kennedy, Lee, Ashton, Dolman, Jepson, Richards, Quigley, Sandy, Lorraine, Hoban.

That'd be my team selection as well. We need to be more attack minded and better at creating chances.

The biggest thing we need to do is work - hard! Claudio didn't last week, it cost us a goal! It wasn't just him, all need to put in a shift ! Stevo should definitely be dropped - agree with that line up!

Play off the front foot and take the game to them - don't worry about what they may do, pick a team to do a job and do it! Massive game for us !! Can't wait !!

Come on Diamonds, come on.

We need the 3 points tomorrow, come on.

Come on (mighty) Diamonds bag the 3 points tomorrow (against Northwood)

Not forgetting that we're all fed up with losing now so get on it you whites.

The one thing I want to see this afternoon is our team to match our opponents for effort and desire which has been sadly lacking in our last four matches, the rest will come I feel.

Can't wait for todays big 6 pointer. Hopefully the players will be as up for turning it around as Peaksy and the fans. COYD.

Lorraine and Sandy up front today, Stevo has to be left out. Possibly Richards to start but I think he should be on the bench and give the guys a chance now someone is fighting for their place.
