Looks ok on google maps.

Cheers RM, I tried looking on the DT but trying to see beyond the adverts was like trying to paint a staircase through the letterbox.

Does anyone know if the road from the roundabout at Staveley via Barrow Hill to New Whittington is open and not flooded?

No sorry

So, are we saying that Aroujo being out for 2 to 3 months and Donacien who might be our new RB plus Naylor who most want back into midfield is plenty of cover in case either, or both, MacFadzean and Grimes get injured or suspended?

Personally, I do not think so. If both Palmer and Williams depart I think we need to bring another CB.

That?s how I think it might play out

Donacien, Grimes, McFaz & Sparkes back 4 and Naylor into midfield

I can't see why it would be as it's not rained much.

It's just that it was hammering it down last night for several hours, unless it was the old lad's sprinkler going off again lol.

Must have been whilst I was fast asleep, either that or Loundsley Green missed it!

Same. I imagine the new guys chomping at the bit. A win would cap off a busy week for the club very nicely

Yep. It feels like a new season is starting. Lot's of expectation, some uncertainty. A lot rests on the shoulders of Madden and Pepple.

COYB's!!

I first noticed it around 9pm and it was still at it when I turned in at midnight.
Lovely now though, and I'm looking forward to the game very much so. Here's to three points and no injuries please.

[Fit as a Nelson]

Really up for this one today, come on town

[clarevoyant.]

From the earlier, forgetful match at Vale park, the highlight was watching their 2
bagmen/trainers (whatever they're called) when they ran or walked onto the pitch depending if they were time wasting or attending an injury, looking like a synchronised formation team.

Well you had to find someat to smile about.

Pretty exciting isn't it!

I think the fact many fans would be happy to consolidate this season but everyone in the club is talking about promotion is a bit of an anomaly aswell.

Just gonna enjoy the 2nd half of the season again like last year.

It is only on here where I hear the 'consolidation' word used widely. I accept expectations have been scaled back somewhat as the injury situation became a crisis. I still would be disappointed if we didn't bolster the squad further and get in the playoff positions.

[DOUGLAS JARDINE]

We will win today got a really positive feeling

[Bluekent]

Naylor back into midfield 🥳

[Carlisle_Spireite]

Interesting choice of back 4

[turrhall]

We've clearly set up to deal with Vale's physicality

[JonB]

Thompson; Donacien, McFadzean, Grimes, Sparkes; Naylor, Oldaker; Mandeville, Dobra, Colclough; Pepple.

Subs: Boot, Shecks, Horton, Fleck, Metcalfe, Drummond, Madden

[Zytok]

About as strong as a 1st Xi we can put out isnt it?

[Goku]

Big strong manly men team

[azul]

Hope they aren't too rusty
