Just putting on my flutters and see Josh Kay and Joe Rowley play for them.
My team prediction:
Tyrer; Sheckleford, Palmer, Grimes, Horton; Jones, Naylor; Mandeville, Banks, Dobra; Grigg.

I’d be surprised to see king again this season. And Freckleton….

He's still on loan to us though, presumably they'll have better facilities than us and will want to monitor/control his injury and recovery schedule.
Even if he does get fit before the seasons ends, i wonder if they'll ask us not to risk him if the title is sewn up by then.
i think they'll have a fire sale in the summer to try to keep afloat and he may be a) sold or b) promoted to the first team squad

Rowley doesn’t get a game seemingly. I think Kay was NL player of the month recently.

Isn’t he out of contract in the summer?

That’s a good shout apart from maybe Williams for palmer .

Don’t think it’ll be a fire sale.
I’m sure I read recently they’ve got about 15 or so OOC this summer and with the way the current owners are funding the squad, they’re expecting L1 and L2 players coming in.

They didn’t spend that much entering the PFL and I suspect exiting it will provide a health profit with the parachute payments. Guess it depends how much the owners decide to trouser

Probably all of it, club is in lots of debt, and afaik had to regain its PL status last season or they would have been up the creek, without a canoe, nevermind a paddle

I'm not sure it'll be a fire sale but I'm pretty sure that some will be gone. I can't see their defence surviving intact, but Freckleton is way off Championship quality yet, although I'm sure he will be at some point.
I heard that he's being let go this summer but it's only rumours at the moment. I'd love to see him here next season to continue his development and back-up to Grimes.

good line up, it has balance. we can argue between horton and clements all day, similarly williams and palmer... the jones and naylor partnership fills me with confidence. the 3 behind grigg i'd go with they bring different qualities but each wants to win, a fit colclough would no doubt make this 11 but by all acounts he makes the bench tomorrow, alongside berry they could win this for us tomorrow in the closing stages of what may be an open, competitive game. provided we don't have a spell of implosion, we should hope to have enough to get back on track tomorrow, hopefully the kop are a bit less flat tomorrow than they've been recently, there have been games this season where the form team have come into town and been blown away in a short overwhelming spell, i hope tomorrow we can return to this.

The catering staff won't cope!!! I wonder what the average footfall is for folk buying on the concourse is, 1 in 10 maybe 1 in 5
