Here we go then, one last dance this season I guess. Win and with our last 2 games we are bang back in the mix

Hopefully everyone’s up for it, looking like a near sell out! Hopefully we come out the traps and get after these, their away form is poor and it’s more of a must not lose for them I reckon.

Expect to see a lot of long throws into our box- with their fans getting over excited for every one.
Hopefully we have the centre backs today to cope.

Swindon's defending of them was Sunday league standard, but they still managed to beat them 5-4.

My predicted side; I assume Banks won't be fit.

Boot

Mandeville
Palmer
McFadzean
Aruajo

Fleck
Metcalfe

Olakigbe
Madden
Colclough

Grigg

Subs; Thompson, Naylor, Grimes, Pepple, Duffy, Gordon, Jacobs

Was against 10 men though

I've seen this described as a 'must win' game.

And it is - for Bra'fud.

I want us to win. Of course I do. For every reason.

But even if the play offs prove a step too far, we can still look back on a largely positive season beset by lousy luck.

So I'm gonna enjoy the day, enjoy our stadium once again hosting a near sell out and enjoy whatever the next few weeks deliver regardless...

We might see Fleck drop out today with 2 games so close together

[Mr Mercury]

Looking at the way it’s selling they’ll have to go to N5 soon or call it a sell out.

I take it the huge decision to deprive folk of the front row seats in the South stands will pay off and prevent mass rioting and pitch invasions. It may even, as well as prevent, put people off buying tikets if it's their preferred place to sit. Head-scratching

They want to put N5 on sale anyway, only front rows left so folk will be getting wet sat there

You might be a right but it's a good test for him.

Thought you’d know better mate, win the next 2 then drop an all time stinker T Accrington and miss out by a point

[Zigsuk]

With Dobra and Banks out we might see a return for Oldaker or Jacobs for this. Both seem rather like forgotten men now.
Much as I rate Grigg I’d also be tempted to possibly start with Pepple.

[danblue]

Really excited about this game.

The players need to be well up for this one.
I wouldn't like to pick the team for this one as it's more or less make or break for playoffs - results depending.

Front row on sale in north stand, so you'd think (I don't know) that the south stand is a full sell out?

Good god, I hope not!

[Bluekent]

Feeling rather nervous. Big game. That’s what we all wanted isn’t it? Something to play for at the business end of the season? I’ll be delighted with a comfortable 3-0 win with zero arsê twitching moments please. Thank you.

[Search & Destroy]

It’s a trick

Dobra starts




Hopefully

Not today! It's time! 3 games left, a good 4/5 days before the next one with a week after that.... best available team today... must win and must be in the top 7 by 5pm, if we aren't its over and we look to next season
