Daft thing is we're only three games from Wembley.

So of course we all want to win.

But in the context of our season that's third on our list of priorities behind an injury free evening and getting minutes into legs...

Ok then. You might get 2/3 pints then. Ffs man. This board is an absolute joke.

Oh dear, perhaps it's time for the pub.

£40,000 if we beat Rotherham. Isn't that incentive enough?

Decent that

I?m going to my first Vertu Motors game of the season, though it would be a reasonable crowd with new players and a while since we last played

Same. Wouldn't normally bother but feels like an age since Bradford away when I last went

100 percent we play to win. I?m expecting a good game with best 11 out

Take a periscope and turn it on its side

[Spireite93]

For me, we play our best side. Everybody whose fit should be well rested and more than capable of this game and another on Saturday:

Boot
Shecks Donacien Grimes Araujo
Oldaker Naylor
Markanday Dobra Berry
Pepple

Subs: Thompson, Horton, Banks, Mandeville, Fleck, Drummond, Colclough

As I got to the subs, I'm not even sure that starting 11 is what I'd go for, very harsh on Mandeville whose done nothing wrong, and will Cook even go back to 4231 after 4141 has worked so well, so Mandy in for Grimes with Naylor back in defence..... Final Answer..... I think

[Search & Destroy]

Banks certain to play

Instead of?

Ideally this game should be to get some match fitness back into the legs of those who will play on Saturday, which Banks can't, I'm sure he'll feature as a sub though

I see Danny Webbs pre match presser is up on the main site. Has he really not mentioned- been asked about Markandays position?

I'm guessing the question is either off the table for discussion and the interviewer has been warned off or its a case of nothing's changed. Either way, I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Because he?s suspended for 2 more League games

Donacien is a full back who can play a bit at centre back. I could be wrong but I highly doubt we have brought him in to play centrally.

The problem there is you've got a club employee doing the interview so he would have been told what not to ask.

Kop open? West looks about sold out!

[HaslandBlue58]

I would have thought that the lack of recent games,the slight upturn in weather conditions,the early start for families and the possible introduction of new faces would contribute to a decent gate even though many have no time for these competitions.It's a must attend for me to see if we can actually put on a good performance after a long layoff.

[Westbars Spireite]

Given Jacobs is now fit I half expect him to start tonight and have an hour.

In his interview the other day, he refused to say what he thought is his best position.

A couple of hundred or so left looking at it. Given they won't be planning on staffing any other areas they might be turning people away which would be daft!
