Off we trot to Montgomery Waters Meadow this Saturday to take on Shrewsbury Town. Last season they were the surprise team of the division finishing in third place but losing out it the play offs. This season, a less impressive start so far with 4 points on the board. As many have said, there are no easy games in this division, and Shrewsbury will be desperate to get their first win at home so we can expect an interesting 90 minutes.

So, who will Mr Powell send out to start this game, and will it match your selection? Team members and formations and anything else match related whacked down here chums. I thought about predicting a line up, and then had a glance at my prediction league stats and thought better of it just yet!

Stockdale,
Demetriou, White, Moore, Coker,
Bunn, Dieng, Mantom, McLaughlin,
Hopper, Cox

Subs: Bishop, Bwomono, Turner, Klass, Batlokwa, McCoulsky, Robinson.

Harsh on McCoulsky perhaps but think we'd be better off with Cox to drop deeper, particularly away from home and with question marks over the fitness of the two midfielders.
 
Would be good if we could take 300 plus away to this one, I'm going for a 1-1 draw.
 
I'll be there my son lived nearby so I'll be seeing him for the week-end. Lots of guitar and curry!

Turner to start,White on bench with Wabo not Robinson and Hutchinson instead of Klass or Rene’,but please don’t walk away Rene’.

Cox is a better provider and the most intelligent player we have! Play him just behind the front two and he will create non stop chances for the forwards
 
That's the team I would go with. But think cp will be more cautious and leave hops up front and isolated. Think we will get turned over 2_1.

Somthing else I've noticed about Powell is when we play away from the hall he normally goes with 1 upfront which I just do not understand? And normally after an encouraging 442 performance at home! When he goes with 1 upfront away we end up loosing! He needs to be more positive and attack Shrewsbury! We have the players to do it and expect us to turn Shrewsbury over.
 
What's the parking around the ground like? Time i get home from work i'll be in a hurry to do the long drive and park up to get in their ground

We're pretty much 1 up front at home as well, people just assume it's 2 up front because Cox is listed as a striker but he rarely gets into the box. He's more of an attacking midfielder in our system, he's far more involved in the build up play than finishing off moves.

Sadly you're right and apart from injuries it's our biggest problem at the moment.

Big car park at the ground and plenty of road parking within 10 minutes walking. Nice new ground, friendly stewards and usually whole behind the goal stand with own bar and pie stuff.

Some locals do park on the grass verges but that's still a long yomp to the ground.

If you use their car park its an unorganised shove the end. Don't think they will let you go early as the local coaches/buses get priority. A few of us will be getting one from the Prince of Wales pub...£2.50 return. Be warned they leave really sharp from the home end so If you do use one don't spend to long clapping our players after they win.....If they lose as we did on that Saturday game 2 seasons ago the locals don't give you to much stick on the bus and at least you will be having pint back in town before anyone else.

Assuming our injury problems haven't got any worse then that team would be about right. The only change for me would be Moore in for White rather than Turner. Moore can sweep and Turner is still a good attacking CB. By that I mean attacking the ball and pressuring their 9. I always thought Turner was better if Anton was behind him as he knew he had good cover,
