Pre-match views from the Match Thread:
Luke Imp: “Rotherham and Stevenage back to back is just what you want!
It would be a big call to drop Wickens, not necessarily because it’d be the wrong choice but changing a GK always seems to create a bit of a story.
Hamilton for Erhahon with McGrandles dropping back and Jackson for Montsma. Perhaps Moylan in there as well.
Big two home games coming up.”
Rasenimp: “Not really sure I can guess the team again… probably 4 at the back as I think we did play okay against them at their place, just defended set pieces/crosses poorly. I hope they don’t wipe out Jackson again this time. Not totally sure about Hamilton as he was non-existent in the away game, but you probably still want a midfielder who will battle for second balls etc. I think I’d like to fit Moylan in but not sure we will.
Pardington
Darikwa – O’Connor – Jackson – Roughan
McGrandles
Hamilton – Bayliss
Makama – House – Hackett
0-1.”
PortMacImp: “While we are at it can we have a change in the tactics with the throw-ins in the attacking half? Waiting an age for Roughan to make his way from his left field position to the right side of the pitch near the corner flag to take a throw ruins any chance of any spontaneous action to surprise the opposition. Surely we can be a little more inventive.
Jack Moylan to start in an advanced position and as a consequence a 1-0 win to the Imps.”
