Views from the Match Thread ahead of kick-off:
Impish: “Both Melbourne and Jackson have knocks after the Gills game but should be okay to be in the squad for tonight according to MA. Do we ever play a game when the next one we have at least one CH doubtful?
We really need to have a bit more defensive cover, am sure MA and co are on the ball though.”
sedgleyimp: “My first attending tonight since the Gills home game back in February 2020. Feel like a kid going to my first ever game again!!! Really looking forward to what is quite a short trip for me.
Team-wise I’m sure we’ll see a few changes from Saturday. A win would be nice but this competition is still probably the lowest priority in the season as unless you get a juicy TV game clubs rarely make money in it.”
