17th and 19th October Fixtures

Shrewsbury Town v Exeter City 20:00 Thursday

You guys can fill in the rest.

Initially annoyed that Sky moved this one, but I'm going anyway for my first visit to the New Meadow.

We are on good form, but wary of a team that scored 5, albeit against ten men Crawley.

Magennis scored last night so interesting to see if he starts this one, otherwise I don't think we have any injuries so bring it on.

Got to be getting to the point where the shrewsbury and cambridge boards are getting a bit shifty, you feel shrewsbury need to get a win here (not sure they will)

As for us - stevenage at home.

Said all along and many times that the opening run of home fixtures were “kind” (not disrespect to any of those involved) and stevenage is the last of these - but boy have we took advantage and sit in a false but enjoyable position.

If we could get another win here it would be magical, hopefully a few injuries (mainly gregory) will be back but we’ve a couple of long termers coming back soon too!

Will tune in to Sky Sports to watch Exeter. Will also channel hop to the comedy channel to watch the yocals. Away win.

International break will still affect us for this, other than Pym the other three have to travel that much they are usually not up to playing. Oceania to the UK travel takes a long time to recover.

Not expecting anyone back to start for this so will be another makeshift side, possibly Gregory back with a bit of luck but seems unlikely - going off Cloughie interview it’s still looking like 7/8 players missing. Defensively we looked incredibly weak on paper against Blackpool with so many out but they performed superbly and limited them to hardly anything.

Stevenage do not score or concede many so it’ll be a close one you imagine.

We're off to Rothrum - and given our notoriously shite away-from-home style of playing, expect a "nul points" outcome!

We are very up and down with the quality of our play and the defence was useless at Posh, so it can go either way.

Mr Evans will have a birds eye view from the stands as he pays the price for his gobbyness towards the officials on three previous occasions.

 

[AdamStag]

I think it’s brilliant that evan’s has more yellow cards than any player this season, great work.

They should do Evans a favour and take the fine money from his Just Eat/Uber Eats/Deliveroo/Foodhub balances

They put out a statement at the start of the international break that wasn't quite a vote of confidence but a "well he's had injury problems and he'll be expensive to pay off, so fingers crossed he's the new Caldwell".

Anyway, we'll be losing at home to Wigan this weekend. They were the last side we won against....on Easter Monday.

Not sure we've got anyone else back from injury yet, so expect a fairly makeshift side. Who knows how long Monk has left.
