If anyone is in the area early and looking for something to do, the Yorkshire sculpture Park is well worth a visit. I took my then 9 year old lad when last there and it was great. I would be surprised if we come away with anything tonight, my hope is for a draw but it won’t be the end of the world if we lose. We still are nowhere near the finished squad and may fall short due to our lack of options from the bench. Hope to be wrong later tonight!! Starting line up for me Belly Anderson Hoole Beefy Flash Coutts Rossiter Saunders Evo Collins Lord Marquis UTG No Finley ?

Woops!! Forgot Finley. Yes if fully fit he’s always a starter.
Maybe Finley and Rossiter in the 2 behind our fluid and wonderful front 4
Certainly exciting times, you can’t argue JB is building a really good team here
I agree with other posters though, I’d be looking to strengthen fully in defence at present. 1 CB, one LB at a minimum

Starting line up for me Belly Anderson Hoole Beefy Flash Coutts Rossiter Saunders Evo Collins Lord Marquis UTG No Finley ? Yes. Finley is, imo, the most important person in this team. We never seem to be as good when he’s not there. Him and Belshaw must be the first names JB puts down when choosing the team. I love the impact Whelan has had, Coutts is great with his experience and Collins and Marquis are looking like a good combination up front. And mustn’t forget Anderson who’s so adaptable but always puts in a shift. JB has assembled a really good 1st 11. And I haven’t mention Evans! But Finley carries a goal threat from midfield, controls so much and has a nasty side when needed. I think he’s absolutely crucial to how JB wants to play. No histrionics, no complaints from him, he just gets on and delivers match after match. UTG! ps. Now I’ve said this he'll probably get a red after 20 minutes tonight!! 😢

Currently in Manchester, do I drive to the game last minute?! As am I mate, trains not looking a great option. Would you be happy to split petrol?

After thinking Oxford might reveal the true scale of our task in league one I’m going to let heart rule head and plump for a Harvey Saunders smash and grab counter attacking goal and we keep riding this feel good back to the top of the league! Going to let all the kids stay up and do our first ever iFollow , utg

Wonder how far Anderson runs a game ? He doesn't stop

I think Barnsley will have too much for us, predict a loss, hope I’m wrong! I have , out of nowhere, found a new found belief in this team and , dare i say it, the work ethic of the manager. We seemed to do pretty well when playing away, last season. I am going for a win and by one goal only but i think it will be us who pushes the game

If you asked me at the start of the season, I would have said a certain loss but our last couple of performances have made me think we can come away with at least a point and maybe even all 3.
I would start the same team as against Oxford except with Coutts or Rossiter to start instead of Whelan with him to come on in the last 20 minutes to hopefully help defend our lead!

Will be tuning in on iFollow from South of France. It’s marvellous that’s possible. Another real acid test of where we are in the pecking order. Will be mightily impressed if we can get a win tonight. UTG !

I think tongight will highlight if we're serious contenders this season, as chuffed as i was with the Oxford result we have always been a bit of a bogey team for them so tonights the real acid test.

One change for me, Coutts for Whelan. Other than that, same as Saturday.
Tough game against a side likely to be top 6 come May so would be more than happy with a point.
I am concerned at our lack of game changers on the bench if we go behind. Other than Loft we don't really have any other attacking options. It would be nice to have a Nicholson, Thomas or Anderson to throw on if we're chasing the game. Of course Anderson would be starting but you get my point.

Strange ground and surroundings, but something likeable about it. Can't get there on midweek, but would have been a game I would like to have attended. Would take a point, but see no reason why we cant pinch it.

Got a feeling someone like Saunders could be a big threat for us tonight with his pace - especially if we’re forced into playing largely on the counter.
I’ll go 1-1.
