Wonder what's up with Novak

[Westbars Spireite]

Where's Novak? Hird right back, Drew left?

Must be something bad, if he can't even make the bench. Unless it's for other reasons.

4-4-2 with Hird RB and Drew LB.

Is Novak made of wotsits or quavers? (Credit: stollen from Twitter)

Edit: I wholeheartedly take this back. Congratulations to the Novaks.

Novak's another one who can't stay fit it seems. If it can go wrong, it will.

It'll probably some ludicrously far fetched set of circumstances. I'm thinking a zip injury a la Something About Mary.

That isn't a pretty team.

Saunders was in Llanelli last night and he's made it fine 😉

Decide on that at 4.55.

[Goku]

The wife.

[Mr Blue Sky]

Is Novak breast feeding?

[Westbars Spireite]

I'm not ruling out any blame for Saunders in all this. Where was he nine months ago?

Thanks for confirming. Should be orate to play then.

[The Earl of Chesterfield]

Sorry, but I just can't summon up any enthusiasm looking at the line-up.

Hird from scapegoat to RB? Unless Saunders is playing the half-fit (at best) Herd there with the more experienced man in CM. Kinda tells us all we need to know about his confidence in O'Neil, though, doesn't it. But hey, it's not as if he signed him or owt...

Wood from Fleetwood first eleven to our bench? Strange, just...strange.

Simons in front of Ariyibi, too? Well it's a toss-up between two youngsters who've yet to show any real consistency. Yet I'd have preferred Ariyibi, for what it's worth.

We can only hope Tommy Lee can pull off another three or four last-gasp saves to give us some sort of chance.

EDIT: best wishes to Mr and Mrs Novak.

Not at all, fair play to the club...it's a fantastic time and he deserves to be with his wife and new born.

[Spire-Heights]

Hands up then people, if your wife/partner gave birth during the night and you'd been up for hours with no sleep, who would then leave them both to drive 5 hours to work at 7 in the morning?

If we're honest, family always come before your work/job.

Anyway congrats to the Novak's.

Saunders got Wood in because he thought we needed the defence strengthened which I can see but look at our striking options he needs some choices here too. OK Novak is missing but its weak up top

[Westbars Spireite]

I'd have preferred to pack the middle and gone 3-1-5-1 today.

We'll see how it pans out of course but I'm not exactly drowning in confidence at this point.

I can see a vile 0-1 unfortunately.

Prove me wrong Deanie.
