Anyone heard how many tickets we have sold in advance? Will we take 500+?
Think we definitely will now. Lots going who weren't going to bother now Slade has gone.

Why pick McAllister in such an important game, with the best will in the World he won`t be match fit, the ideal replacement for Berrett would be Clifton who will give 100% has youth on his side and is the future

What a mess. The options for Midfield are Berrett, an untried youth, or a crock who hasn't played for us for over a year. We let Osborne, Clements and Jones walk away.

In all fairness, McAllister's probably more "match-fit" than Clifton having been fit for a while (as far as I know) and having played some games out on loan. I'd be happy with either being given a chance to be honest. Maybe both. Just needs a change in there, whether it's as a 2 or 3 man central midfield. And Yeah, I'd love to see what Clifton can do in a competitive league game.

Completely agree Tommy - would love to see Clifton or McAllister get a start - and maybe a statement of intent would be to recall Clements from FGR. He'd give us another option in CM and is in their starting 11 tonight. Won't hold my breath though as I suspect he is just wanted off the wage bill.

Clements said to be very close to the biggest earner so not surprised he was shipped out ( nor where he went too)

I think, given the poor quality of our midfield options, that we have to play a system which allows us to have 3 players in the centre of the park. We need to take games by the scruff of the neck, to ensure we are there to win the second ball, be able to keep possession as well as protect the defence and finally to support our supposed strike force by getting in the box and contributing the odd goal.
There is absolutely no evidence that any of this is possible with any combination of Rose, Summerfield and Berrett. Scunny season ticket holder drinks in our local and swears that when fit, which he admits is rare, McAllister is a quality player at this level, Kerr said the same at Bobby Cummings welcome home night. So for me if fit he has to start, and I would add Summerfield and Clifton.
I am hoping that Clifton will provide that youthful enthusiasm which will compensate for his lack of experience. The back is a concern as we need to add pace but we also need a cool head and against Cambridge some physicality as they had some big guys at BP. So as much as I would like to play the Villa lad think we have to stick with Clarke & Osbourne flanked by Mills and hopefully a returning Davies at left back.
Front 3 bloody difficult, big if is style Wlilko adopts, on the floor I would have Vernam floating behind Jackson and Wilks/Dembele. More physical should call for Matt/ an other with Dembele wide. In reality our options appear limited but I am praying that some of these players are much better than we have seen so far. On that point, and maybe a little controversial, but whilst Hooper has looked a little uncommitted I personally thought he was quite decent on the ball and did actually get two goals in the few games he played. Maybe just maybe he is someone who could improve now Slade has gone.
