F¥cking youngsters

Gales finally dropping by 50% around tea time.
Pitch will be awful.
Probably our lowest gate of the season?
More dire football in 20mph wind.
Still looking forward to it.

Should be good for hoofball.
Might see Tom King score !

I referee-ed a game near Newport a week ago, awarded the defending team a free-kick in their own half for a foul. Keeper took it, maybe 65-70yards from the opposition goal. Scored, top corner.

So with these new modern, lightweight balls the wind can make a big difference. I'm predicting a 3-0 home win tonight, perhaps an odd forecast given our form and Walsall's but I can't help thinking that our team owe MF (and us) a decent performance, plus folk on the Walsall forum are hoping they can snatch a draw at best so their form is obviously a bit unpredictable too.

Gorman, Green, Waters and Khan all start

King
Leadbitter
Demetriou
Inniss
Bennett
Labadie
Gorman
Green
Matt
Waters
Khan

Not sure what Amond has done to piss Flynny off, on the bench again. No sub keeper.

Subs:- Howkins... Amond... Woodiwiss... Collins... Willmott... Abrahams

Strong attacking line-up, with depth on the bench. Looking forward to it. No wind or rain in sight either, all I can see from my place in the Hazell Terrace is Neil Cork, in the box opposite, munching prawn sandwiches!

Waters needs to work on his touch

Leadbetter off - wonder when we'll see him again ....

Our usual blank sheet!

We just can't score

Judging by the enthusiasm on Grandstand it's not too thrilling

And therein lies Flynn’s weakness / inexperience too close to the players so favourites and fall outs have too much selection influence.
