After such a well deserved win against Oxford, one most felt we had no chance of winning, we now face Grays Athletic, a team I believe we have never beaten in a league match before.
Its gong to be another hard game, but the team has now proved many times, it can raise its game when the stakes are high. I would expect Robertson to keep his place, as Hodges may well not recover to soon, from the kick he got.
The big question is, does Bucks see Benyon as a super sub? if he does it may well be Green who starts with Sills. Its my view that Green is not suited to play out wide on the left and to get the best from him, we need him in the middle.
Carlisle may well be back on the right hand side, so does Bucks go with Stevens or Carayol, who you hope has spent the weekend practicing his crossing into the box,

Having grown up watching the Bateson-era, I always get the same feeling that when we stuff a good side like Oxford we'll go and get turned over easily by a team in the relegation zone. Hopefully this won't be the case... I'd love to see us go and attack Grays with Carlisle and Carayol terrorising their full-backs. I can see this being a gritty, hard-fought game so I'd rather see Sills partnered by Green than Benyon. Having said that, our big number 8 looked absolutely shattered towards the end of the game last night so maybe Buckle will look at this as a chance to rest him? If we defend the way we did at Oxford, we'll have no problems on Tuesday. I'll go with this starting line-up (assuming Christie and Hodges are unfit): Bevan
Mansell Woods Robertson Nicholson
Carlisle Hargreaves Wroe Carayol
Sills Green |

I'm with DGEP on this one, with only (I assume) three strikers available (unless you count Thompson), we need one of them on the bench!

Hopefully the team put in a much better performence than last season. I'd settle for a sneaky win tomorrow!

Not quite sure what has happened to Carlisle - not too bothered really as long as he's not on the right wing. I would though, like to see him have a crack at the left wing for a change. No point putting Green out there, he needs to be in the middle.
Benyon to start! Controversial eh! I do believe, that if Benyon had come on at his normal time of "80 minutes" we would have lost to Oxford! Would also like to see Carayol given another chance.
Should what I have just said happen, a 2-0 win for us!

1-1! Could be tight now, considering the conditions.

Bollocks, I`ll keep my mouth shut next time, saying that it did sound like we didn`t deserve the free kick we scored from, so what the hey, COME ON YOU YELLOWS!
