2-0

 

[KZNSeagull]

Team unchanged. Towell, Manu, KLL, Wilson, Calde, Crofts and Maenpaa on the bench

 

[El Turi]

I'm not sure Hemed has justified the guaranteed starting place he seems to have.

Edit: just checked and he has 1 goal in his last 20 games so not sure why he's undroppable.

 

[Marty McFly]

Team unchanged. Towell, Manu, KLL, Wilson, Calde, Crofts and Maenpaa on the bench

I wonder if we'll throw in the Towell today.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Bench looking strong

 

[Hugo Rune]

We're not going to return to the form of the first dozen games until we start with Lua Lua, Greer & Bong, however, I think we'll still win today.

Bong and Rosenior are the two we're missing the most, hopefully Kaz can keep improving his fitness for a strong finish to the season.

Hemed is such a lump, why not start a goalscorer: Wilson.

The 'lump' who is our joint top scorer?

 

[portlander]

Can't argue with an unchanged team after last week, and a strong bench. Is Baldock still injured though? He really is fragile.
