So Hall and Benyon up front and Sturrock just behind or a 3 pronged attack?

 

[Beefy]

I'd guess:

Belford

Clohessy Phillips Barker Hills

Sawyer Dailly Timlin Hall

Sturrock Benyon
​

 

[Barling Magna]

So we need to win tonight, of course, and we need Swindon to beat Torquay, Shrewsbury to draw with Cheltenham and Gillingham to beat Crawley. That would be a very good evening.....

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Like the look of that team. Strong bench too.

 

[Greebosan]

Looking good - plenty of punch on the bench and a solid team to start. Could be argued it's a shade too conservative for a home game, but given our recent home form..... I think Blair will give us options though.

Damn. Not going after all. I'm only back for 10 days. Family commitments come first. * sob *

 

[the_forgotten_man]

Extremely harsh on Prosser after an almost entirely flawless performance at Hereford, although Hills seems to have impressed since joining. Think the side looks strong, and I reckon the Sturrock Benyon partnership could well be one of our best. Come on the Blues!

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

I think Hills offers more of an attacking threat, which you need at home, especially if Timlin is on the left side of midfield.

 

[Semi-Spanish Shrimper]

Maybe? Isn't this where Hall played against Hereford? Tip of the diamond?

Bellford
Clohessy Phillips Barker Hills
Dailly
Timlin Sawyer
Hall
Benyon Sturrock​

:unsure: umm I'm not saying anything.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Up to December it seemed just a question as to whether we would go up as Champions. In February there were doubts as to whether we would even make the play-offs. Now in mid-March we are back in the automatic mix..........so the stress is back.
In all events if we can't improve on our home form, we probably won't make it..........and we're off!

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Shrewsbury already one up against Cheltenham!

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Shrews score after 40 seconds!

I'd like us to win and Torquay please put Swindon under bit of pressure........u never no ;)

 

[WightShrimper]

I'm not bothered about going up as champions (just so long as we go up) but getting out in front would certainly give us a cushion.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

What's this?................sounds as though we are playing nice football!

 

[WightShrimper]

Can we keep up this level of play for the whole match? Cmon you Blues.

 

[WightShrimper]

The defence goes to sleep again.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Sawyer brought down.......yellow card Brown.......Free-kick...................to the goalkeeper. Wasted free-kick
