I actually like the prospect of this, Wheater and Hunt the new White and Foster partnership. Just need to make sure we have some fullbacks with pace.

No thanks.

Not sure I'm quite believing what I'm reading on some posts here tonight......

So what is your point of view?

I think Darlofan97 has summed it up perfectly accurately.

Part-time football is not a 'critical local service'.

Not sure I'm quite believing what I'm reading on some posts here tonight......

One way or another the season had little realistic chance of being completed when it started. Looks like this could be the stopping point.

When he plays a midfield three of Wheatley, Hatfield and Holness we will be a different side. Let's hope Holness is fit enough to start for the weekend.

That's a huge blow for him. Laing and Storey would be my central defensive pairing.

Best wishes for a full recovery.

But also increases infections.

I think it's time for our league to admit defeat on this season for a number of reasons. The new virus strain, which transmits so easily, has now ramped up the dangers of players training, travelling and playing so frequently, especially when you consider one-third are asymptomatic and there is no ...

Laing injured but out of his depth in this league.

Disagree. Laing is far from out of his depth. My first choice central defensive duo would be Laing and Storey.

How we are allowed, or even expected to travel down to Brackley tomorrow and Weymouth in a couple of weeks during a National Lockdown is absolutely absurd. Agreed it is bizarre. More than bizarre. It is stupid. Either we are in a national lockdown, which I 100 per cent agree we should be, or we are...

It's usually the cause than the outcome. A head to head collision at pace absolutely. An innocuous looking fall into each other not at pace then rarely so. I see you guys went for the full 48 hours argument as opposed to the cheaper 24 hours I left the building at 2.34 ;) Thank God we will have a g...

Barbaric. Ban it.

If Groves has aspirations for his vanity project to go full time and replicate Harrogate Town into the football league, and at the same time lose a fortune, then good luck to him.Unlike us they will never become sustainable with that fan base and I just fail to understand what he is trying to achie...

I don't think it was a 6-0 game. Four observations: 1) A great shop window for our players today not taken. Charman didn't turn up. What a wasted opportunity for him. 2) There has got to be an end product to Darlo possession. 3) If you don't shoot you don't score. 4) It's now so important who score...

Did anyone watch the game on BT Sport? I thought the two commentators on there were excellent. They had clearly done their research and watched the BPA game too.

Looking forward to this one with a real sense of excitement. Still massive underdogs but not no hopers by any means. Interesting to see that the 3 teams from NLN who have made it to Round 2 are all struggling with their league form. Brackley and Chorley both only won 1 out of 7 and below us in the ...

Not on the Red Button. But on iPlayer and the website:

I'm still annoyed brackley town have been chosen ahead of us as tomorrow's live match even though I have been criticized by certain people. They get rewarded for knocking a team out at the same level whilst playing a league two club and we have to play second fiddle to them having knocked out a clu...

Only Darlo would rent two stadiums and have fans in neither.

Brilliant!

The midfield look a bit weak if we lose one of Wheatley, Holness and Hatfield. Two and we're in deep doo-doo.

This is obviously our best midfield formation - but remember we managed at Swindon without one of them.

If (and who knows) everyone is fit (apart from Liddle), then I would go for this starting line-up:

Saltmer, McMahon, Hunt, Storey, Watson: Wheatley, Holness Hatfield; Rivers, Campbell, Charman

Surely the message about Reid has to get through to AA sooner or later......

Special mention to Louis Lang for a very good solid performance bearing in mind his confidence will have been shot after the stick he received from Saturday.On that display he could well form a partnership with Nicky Hunt when he returns over Alec Storey. Also Jordan Watson played well at CB as wel...

I will go with this team Tuesday evening, Saltmer --------------------- Mcmahon --- Laing --- Storey --- Watson -------------- Wheatley --- Hatfield -------------- Sousa ------------- Holness ------- Campbell ----------------------------- Levi ------------------------- Subs: Minter, Atkinson, Hedle...

Atkinson at CB if Wheatley is fit surely

If that is the choice then the question must be asked, what is Laing's purpose? He is a specific centre back and if he is not going to play there when we have an injury to one of our regular partnership, then when is he?

I would go with Laing.

We can't play the same team every week due to the amount of matches. We have to rotate. We have played nine games in six weeks. We've had busier starts to a season. We do not have to rotate yet. When we are flirting with the relegation zone, we should be playing our strongest available team. And th...

This is incrrdibly frustrating.

I also don't get why holness isn't preferred to reid.

Bang on.

Hatfield, Wheatley and Holness is our best midfield. Maybe Wheatley is injured or unavailable today, I don't know.

Reid would not be in my starting line-up. Not today, not next week, not next month.

For me:

Saltmer

McMahon
Laing
Storey
Liddle

Holness
Hatfield
Wheatley

Campbell
Charman (or Maguire if Luke is injured)
Rivers

He was quoting last season's TV games selected for the FA Cup 2nd round.

Must be one of those days - I still don't get it

He thought it was this year's draw and couldn't see Darlo. It was actually last year's draw he posted by which time we had lost the replay.

I've been to Kidderminster a couple of times. Only remember my last trip & I was very underwhelmed with the food that was on offer. It was very expensive & certainly nothing special that I was expecting. My son was with me on my second trip & he had something different which wasn't very nice as wel...
