    Has there ever been a more pointless match?

    Result might be meaningless but being able to give match time to players that need it is a great opportunity for us to prepare for Saturday. Another steady 30-40 minutes for KVV could set him up for a start against Oldham for instance.

    Brown, KVV and Fella are obviously in desperate need of match time. It would be great if McGahey and our club captain could get some minutes as well.

    In fact the whole squad is currently undertrained at the moment.

    Given it is the last chance of a meaningless match this season it could hardly be timed better.

    Essentially a reserve team fixture then? That makes more sense.

    Wish it was a reserve fixture Ferrite. It wouldn’t be live streamed and I wouldn’t be able to waste another 2 hours of my life watching in the vain hope of something good happening.

    I am not watching it, will watch Crusaders v Coleraine in the Irish League, at least there will be something at stake.

    I think it’s quite an important match in more ways than one, we desperately need a win to boost confidence. At the very least a good performance and maybe a clean sheet!

    I would take the win over a good performance or clean sheet.

    Worth £10,000 for a win,so after the £5,600 we got on Sunday the money will be a little help IF we win.

    So we are playing 4-4-2 which is good, but the players are all over the place. Kvv been searching for the ball in midfield. Hippolite and dales are on the wrong sides of the pitch, no idea what cox is thinking there. The usual players at fault for goals, cordner no challenge again and where was hippolite heading that ball, surely he must head it out for a corner. The way things are going we are not going to see another victory this season, never mind this year

    Two inexperienced CMs, two inexperienced FBs.
    Cordner with zero confidence.

    Totally ordinary team performance with exception of Fela’s goal and Onariase’s domination at CB.

    There will be about 8 different players starting on Saturday.
    I’m predicting that a corner will be turned and we shan’t lose.

    Didn’t we lose 8 games on the trot during the first period of Laws?

    Just had a look, we lost 8 league games on the bounce under Laws in 97/98…so could be worse!

    It could be worse BLT but we may still match or beat that record in the coming league games. Defensively as a unit we are truly shocking and that has got to improve or we all know the outcome.

    Saturday.

    Howard
    Rowe Brown
    Onariase Bedeau

    Gilliead Taylor Spence Green

    McAtee KVV.

    The side is starting to look a lot better.
    Add Eisa, Clarke & McGahey and there are many positives.

    The absence of a gutsy leader in CM remains the biggest single weakness.

    When will Eisa, Clarke and McGahey make another appearance though Les? My betting says it won’t be this year!

    You are almost certainly right about the club skipper.

    What, no place for Hallam? He’s the only one looking to attack on recent form.
