We finally come to the last match of what has been a strange and disruptive year that most will be glad to see the back of. We also know that we start the New Year at the top of the league whatever happens and look to strengthen that position against a club that had struggled since their play off promotion back in the summer. It is a tight two day turnaround but Hall will be as fresh as a daisy and back in the midfield for Little. Moxey was subbed for this reason as he also makes his return from injury. Suddenly the focus of our injuries is up front with Wright likely out for a fair bit with Umerah given a run in the side to show how he can influence the game from the start. With Nelson likely out until February it was a bit worrying not to see Waters on the bench. It may have been tactical with Johnson having one eye on both Little and Moxey coming back from injury and preferring Buse but we shall see. Could also have been a slight knock in training but if not, Koszela to be recalled or a new loanee needed. link - good preview from the club. Weymouth have also signed 18 year old striker Saydee from Bournemouth that Sherring will know well - linklink - streaming passes are available for £9.99 After a slight dip in form which happens over the season great to see us hit six past Yeovil and the team will be full of confidence to continue playing at this level. Saying that getting three points is the priority and I would take a scrappy 1-0 win. |

Totally agree..3 points would set us up nicely for the trip to Yeovil who will no doubt be desperate to avenge yesterday's defeat.
Our goal difference is looking scarily healthy...I am beginning to think we might be the best team in the league!

Stuff like the Wright injury could knock us off course. link - hint from Johnson in this David Thomas post match article that he would look at getting someone in. |

I see Wor Quoidie is in the opposition today.

I see Wor Quoidie is in the opposition today. He could actually be a decent player. Remember that Owers had the amazing ability to transform good players into dross by draining all the confidence from them. |

So, back to the drawing-board I go, because I have absolutely no idea what this team is going to do next. The nearest we came to scoring at Kings Lyn was when we hit one of the coats they had down in place of a goalpost, and then we put 6 past Yeovil!
Ironically, when I chucked a few quid on Yeovil to draw/win, I glanced at the correct score list and saw 6:1 (100/1 if I'm not mistaken) and said to myself ( I'm always talking to myself, especially in Hotel rooms, and especially especially in Hotel rooms that have been bugged by Federal Agents!) 'anybody who puts money on that score has to be mad!'

All signed up for the stream.
Hall will come in with Lemonheigh-Evans in the hole.
Expect Umerah up top - unless GJ springs a surprise late loan signing. Happy for Josh to fill in for a game or possibly two, but think GJ will bring someone in if Wright is out for more than a week.
Possibly Kerr to start for Warren? Moxey will go off after an hour or so, so both will get game time anyway.
Andrews will be unlucky if left out, but expect he will get a decent run out as we try to manage key players' game time.
Hope Waters is fit for the bench. If not and no incoming loanee, we might have to recall Koszela to have a striker on the bench.

Link Dave Thomas pre match article with Johnson “hinting” that Umerah will lead the line and scans for both Wright and Little this week to assess their injuries. Had a bracing walk on Dartmoor this morning across the slush fields so now looking forward to the match coverage this afternoon. Only 48 hours since the Yeovil game so do not know if Waters or Wynter will be fit enough even to make the subs bench.

Remember that Owers had the amazing ability to transform good players into dross by draining all the confidence from them. Very true. I perhaps wrongly assumed that when Owers got the National League oversight job that Wor Quoidie might be installed as England C skipper for life. Probably wrong on more than one level, though.  |

Decent eleven but lacking an attacking option off the bench with Owen Price making up the numbers.
Stream started - players warming up.

Predictable starting line up though I can only imagine Kerr for Warren is a precaution as I thought he had one of his best games for us on Saturday.
Not sure what the condition of the Weymouth pitch is. Could be a leveler as we witnessed at Kings Lynn heavy pitches do not suit our game.
A chance for Umerah to shine - did really well when he came on on Saturday.
So many games off again - we've been very fortunate on that front.
Again were strong favorites and Weymouth not expected to pose too much of a threat- if we manage to get our game going that is.

Don’t expect Warren to play 180 minutes in three days at his age. He will replace Moxey when Moxey’ s done his time.
If any of the front four go off, it would be Andrews wide left and Whitfield up front / in the hole / wide right if required.
