[B. Oddie]

This will be a tricky one.

They're not playing as bad as their League position suggests frustrated Swansea in their cup tie before losing the pens.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

6-0 City.

[Coyote]

Hopefully a win but might be looking to put some form together. This is a game where if we sleepwalk, we could easily be punished.

[Der Kaiser]

Trott

Kpakio
Fish
Lawlor
Bagan

Wintle
Turnbull (if available)

Ashford
R Colwill
Willock

Salech

3-0 City.

[Trigger]

I'd ignore their league position, only 5 matches in. They will be dangerous. Seemed they have turned a bit of a corner in the last couple of matches.

Hopefully able to impose on them how we want to play and pick up another 3 points. Think it will be close though.

[HiVis]

Another match that will test us, and if we're serious about doing anything this season nothing less than 3 points will suffice.

3-1 city, but it will be our hardest game of the season so far.

[ToTaL ITK]

There are two Gallagher's. Is there a chance that there's a third Colwill?

[blooburd2]

6-0 City.

anything less would be an embarrassment !

This one could be a real test, and some indication of just how far we have come. I still think we'll win, but it's not going to easy. So much of our game goes through Rubin Colwill, and man-marking him might stifle this side, but no-one has really tried it yet....

I'm sure they have tried it but it's easier said than done at the moment, particularly with the way we keep our wingers so wide. Peterborough in particular tried to congest the middle and tuck in their full backs and it just left acres of space for Tanner.

VFTN lads were saying in midweek at 1 nil they could hear Flynn telling one of the Cheltenham subs to stay on Rubin. For the second goal i'd say maybe they got the wrong Colwill but then he peeled away into plenty of space as well.

Looking forward to it which is a nice feeling at the moment, i'm sure it will be a tight match mind.

Wimbledon had 7 players around him every time he touched the ball !!! (For those readers who lack a sense of humour, it was 2 or 3 players)

I think we are pretty much their 2nd derby, only Exeter are closer to them in L1
