Tough game for us. Glad Colkett starts. Roberts will be under fire from the off. Not much to happen for us until Moore and Taylor come on.

"We had a long trip and we played with 10 men for half-an-hour so I wanted to freshen things. We've got a couple of lads making their first starts. Connor Roberts has looked good in training and Leadbitter needed a bit of a rest. We're playing Charlie Colkett in to play off the two strikers."

"We are playing the same 4-3-1-2 formation as we did against Port Vale. We are hoping that Charlie can supply the bullets. We have to be careful because they have scored a few goals from midfield and we need someone to be around and about (Alex) Revell as he can be a bit of a handful."

Wonder what happened to Boats? he posted on twitter earlier today his excitement about match day. Perhaps players were told late, not a bad thing keeps them guessing and on their toes.

....which of course is classic mind games from DC as one would never release this info before kick off. Expect Colkett to be playing a sweeper role and Alex Revell being unmarked the whole game providing him with the delusion that he's better than he is and hence lots of misplaced hollywood balls.

Pitch looks fine. Nice and slick.

They really have done wonders with that £10m loan from the council.

First time hete and feel ripped off! Can see the pitch from outside the ground on hill!

That's why they make it all ticket!

Well I haven't had any and also think we'll win today.

The line-up looks promising and if Matty is fit enough to come on second half so much the better.

Gas win 2-0

I'm always a bit sceptical about diamond formations but I've learned my lesson questioning DCs set ups.

DC got the defense right for me today - leadbitter needs a break based on what i saw Tuesday. Roberts making his debut.

Interesting midfield selection to be honest nice to see colckett starting.

Fancy Taylor to come on early second half.

Utg.

Looking forward to The Beard v JJoT.......UTG

He was fantastic, easily best player o the pitch - even the shef utd fans said the same.
