Oldaker suspended for 2 games so misses out again.

That would be my team but Mandeville in for Oldaker.

Yeah can't see how you can leave Manderville out at the moment been excellent last few games plus i expect Naylor to come back but be on the bench after his injury.

Oh yes, good news. I was predicting what I thought Cook would do so Mandy is in.

I can't see that happening. If he's fit, he'll start 100%.

Yep, don't think you'll get many people disagreeing with that starting XI (bar obviously Mandeville in for Oldaker due to suspension). Mike Williamson is their gaffer so they'll probably press high and short pass which should suit us, I expect 3 points.

Impossible to leave mandeville out, on fire at the moment, superior to oldaker

They?re bottom of the league for a reason. Let?s be right, we should go there and if we play anything like we can we should win the game. I don?t think they?ve won at home since August.

I certainly wouldn?t be suspect Cook would do.

They've actually gone back to basics tactically from what I've heard.

[Westbars Spireite]

In fairness, they've drawn their last two home games against Crewe and Doncaster who are decent sides despite us spanking them.

They've only lost 1 league game since early October though.

True, blindness on my part.

Yeah Mandy in.

Probably more a 4-1-4-1 with Naylor at the base and Mandy and Dobs in front.

We did play 4-1-4-1 many times last season and it suited us well.

Whichever way you look at,..... it if we want to be serious contenders in this League and pushing for the "play offs" or even automatic places .... then we must go to bottom of the League on Saturday and return with 3pts. Theres no other way of looking at it. These are the kind of games we must win to be serious contenders.

[LondonBlue]

Got a feeling we will batter these.

Unbeaten in 5 games drawing with Crewe, Donny and Bromley and beating Salford and Morecombe(cup game).
Not to be taken lightly.
If we're on our A game, we should be OK.

I think it'll be exactly as the OP suggests but with Mandy for Oldaker and The CBs the other way around.

Seen a couple of posts saying we've sold close to 900, not sure how true it is but great support for that journey close to christmas

one of my earliest memories of following football as a kid was watching the vidi printer on grandstand and seeing Carlisle United 2 Chesterfield 6, be great to emulate that one but we all know town and bottom of the table fixtures... not sure naylor will start btw but certainly think/hope he makes the matchday squad, could easily be same starting line up as last saturday i reckon.
