4-0 win. According to their fans, they were shite against MK Dons last night. They put out a strong side and struggled, before losing 2-0. They’ll be no match for us.

I can't see Brannagan starting to be honest. He's been out a long-time and looked accordingly rusty last night. Let's ease him back in and hopefully get a cracking 2nd half of the season out of him.

Stevens
Long Moore Atkinson Ruffels
Gorrin Kelly
Henry Maguane Shodipo

The only change i would probably make would be forde instead of Kelly, only because of how physical Northampton are and forde gives us a bit more physicality and height from Set pieces, as we know how direct they play!

the run keeps rolling along 0-3 away win Ruffels, Long, Taylor

A "walk in the park". If indeed Boris allows it?

 

[Bath Yellow]

Thomas Bramall referee, cant say i have heard of him, seems to be quite a few new ones this season

Think it will be really tough. Hoping we can win but would guess it will be a draw.

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

I don’t think we should change our formation, just stick to what we’ve been doing

What history?

 

[Junior_1]

Been called local rivals over on their forum. Never ever considered them as that. Even get the odd P Oxford comment too. Strange lot.

One of the last fixtures you look for when the list comes out in the summer. One of those games that you hope doesn't fall on a Boxing Day or New Year. An opponent as anonymous as Mansfield, Rochdale or Walsall.

A point will do. Hopefully the break has re-energised us.
