The run-in

I dont i think we'll sneak a 1-0 win on Saturday and we'll be safe as both Chesterfield and Barnet will lose.

None of our strikers looked like scoring in open play last Sat, or Vernon in other games.  Cardwell looked like he was going to score, but didn't. There is not enough support from midfield either, neither do the midfield players score anything like as many goals as they should do.

Despite this, I think that we will win one of our last 3 games and be safe. There are always upsets at the end of any season.  Jolley has got the team playing better, bar the second half against Barnet.    Swindon are struggling at present and we are due an away win. We took the lead at Wycombe.

Notts County were poor when Chesterfield beat them recently. They may well be safely in the play-offs by the time they play us.  Village Green are as bad as us and may be safe by the last game.  We could beat them if we had to.

We only need 1 goal to get 3 points, if we are tight at the back and don't concede.  "Set pieces" are our main weapon and more than good enough to get us a goal and a win.

That would be too good to be true but I hope you are right Meza

The problem with playing Vernon and Jackson up top is that most likely means 4-4-2 and us getting overrun in midfield.

I don't see Jackson playing as a lone centre forward, holding the ball up, using his strength and bringing others into play. But surely if he is anywhere near fit, he has to play?

In the limited time I have seen him I like the positions he tries to get into, especially in the box. He is not a hold up player. He plays on the shoulder of the last defender and looks to poach a goal in and around the 6 yard box. He scored within 3 mins of his first game by getting accross in front of the defender and putting the chance away. He did a similar thing on Sat to meet Clifton's cross and would probably have scored had he not been shoved in the back. So a good contribution from little time on the pitch. We need him in the team and for others to find him with the right through ball or low cross. A league 2 version of Germain Defoe! I hope he can stay fit. We have no-one else like him.

Can McSheffrey play the no 10 role alongside Jackson or maybe a front three with Dembele with Rose, Summerfield and Woolford behind in 433?

I think so. Whether you can get 90 minutes out of him is a different question but when he tires, Vernon is an adequate replacement (or as good as we've got at the moment). I think there is something there with Wilks as well but I'd see him as a direct replacement for Jackson, the others wouldn't get a look in for me. I've no issue with the effort of Hooper, but he's miles behind in terms of ability, as is Cardwell in my opinion. I was very disappointed with him on Saturday.

Cardwell eh? I think his doppelganger Jack Whitehall might be more effective up there to be honest.

He just doesn't look like a footballer to me - certainly not a forward player. He looks like one of those who was perhaps pretty good at 14 but has not progressed one jot. Sounds harsh and I hope he rams my words down my throat but he hasn't shown anything up to now.

Funny how you form opinions more or less straight away about players. I remember getting a first look at the Bogle/ Amond combo at Gainsborough in a pre season game and couldn't stop telling people about their quality - particularly Amond who looked a proper goalscorer, but sorry to say I have not felt that at all about any of our current forwards. Jones was a good player but of course we don't keep those.
