Same formation same players except obviously suspensions and injuries. Itās got us this far, making drastic changes would almost certainly mean weāre out of our comfort zone and kill the fluidity that weāve got in the side and some of our momentum with it. Obviously we want to win the game early so we can really push on and try and get all of those goals but we have to be in control of the game first and our best chance of that is by not mucking about with what we know works.

Crate of estrella and a gram of Charlie Party at OGās where we may fall through a rip in the fabric of time and discover another couple of dimensions. Although time is a construct i will set my alarm to bring me back to reality in time for kick off. Hopefully I donāt soil myself. šŗšŗšŗšŗ. To our Journey. UTG

We have just got to win our game and that is what I would go out and tell the players. Ultimately our fate is not in our own hands and we are relying on Barrow unless we can pull off a miracle and actually win by 6 or 7 (Possible? Yes. Likely? No). I would just like the players to put in a good performance and play the nice attacking football we have witnessed since the start of the year and I think our result will take care of itself and it will be all eyes on other results.
We can be proud of what this team has done this season after a very very poor start and if it is the play offs then we can go into them full of confidence that we are unbeaten against several of the teams around us in the last couple of months including Swindon, Sutton, Exeter, FGR, Salford, Northampton and Port Vale.

Itās all very well being gung ho but itās harder to win 9-2 than 7-0!
Whelan has to play for me if he is going to play in the play offs, he needs a game under his belt to get match fitness.
And i agree with the rhino LB and Thomas out wide comment. We need the goal threat. Thatās why I would keep billy in the wide role as heās scored us goals from there.
But if the cobblers go 3-0 up after an hour then protect the key lads.
7-0 win incoming. I think itās a genuine possibility against scunny kids.
11/10 skybet for us to score 3 or more seems like buying money.

Get Rich in to set some ground breaking goals.
1) Seek to take control of the game. Get a single goal in first 20 minutes, donāt concede. Keep it calm 2) get a second goal by half time. 3) those goals give us some confidence and hopefully will sh** up Northampton. Now 2nd half go for the juggular and seek to score as many as we can. If we concede goals to within 1 goal of losing the game consider taking the foot off the gas and hope for a Northampton draw.
Itās crazy but we should be planning to try and score as many as we can.
If we can unlock Scunthorpe confidence will crash and we can do something historic but the key is DO NOT PANIC
Against D&R in 15-16 we had shot after shot but for some reason our finishing was not up to scratch. š couldnāt hit a barn door. If we can do the same but keep our composure then who knows where weāll be at 5pm

Stand in the car park without a ticket then dance like an idiot each time we score.
Some time late in the second half the stewards take pity on my mental health and let me in for the ninth and ultimately decisive goal.
Miss the last train back to Wales, sleep at the station.

Need to stick with the same team as we started with against Rochdale( with exception of Coutts of Course) Evans is back to full fitness he and Collins work well together, with Evans in the team Collins has started to score goals again. If we are struggling to score then we have Lofty and Saunders in reserve to go more attacking. A simple replacement of Whelan for Coutts. Barrow have lost 11 games more than they have won but there goal difference is only minus 11 they tend to loose by the odd goal, so if Northampton did beat them it may only be by the odd goal, I know that winning 6-0is unlikely but we might as well go for it as that result would most likely give us automatic promotion. Even when we were near the bottom of the table before Xmas , I was saying to people that we had a team good enough for top three it was lack of fitness and injuries that let us down, well I am going to stick my neck out and still say we will get third spot come Saturday evening. Come on Rovers please, please score 6 for Tilly and send us all home happy on Saturday.

Sadly, family commitments mean I couldn't go even if I was able to get a ticket.
May have to feign an illness and lock myself in the bathroom between 3 and 5!!

I don't think we'll win by 6+ goals but that doesn't mean it's not important to start fast...
...we know we have to win but when information travels instantly there's no harm in trying to get two or three before halftime, especially if Northampton haven't yet scored...
...I've never been in a Joey Barton team talk but I would bet that all this week (and especially at 245pm on Saturday) he will be reminding his squad that *technically* automatic promotion is still in their control....

Gotta go attacking, unlikely we'll better Northampton by 5 goals so nothing to lose unless we're trying to pre-empt who we want in the playoffs which i think is impossible.
GK Belsh RB Hoole CB Connelly CB Taylor LB Anderson (H) CM Evans CM Anderson (E) CM Finley RF Nicho LF Thomas CF Collins
subs Grant, Anderton, Loft, Jakk, Whelo, Rodman, Nolan

evidently - if we end up in the playoffs who do you want?
Vale, Swindle or Mansfield. No easy games there, personally Swindle I don't think have the metal but the "Ghost of Garner" gives me the jeebies
Think we could do Vale again or even Mansfield over 2 legs.
