A 'second bite of the cherry' in our manager's words, as we replay at The Melbourne Stadium. After the hastily arranged game at Woking last week, there is no way I can make it to the South East again at such short notice. So, it will have to be the radio and Andy Doyle..... From what I can gather the Clarets' ground is not the most prepossessing venue and is nicknamed 'The Gulag' by the locals.
In terms of team selection, I would like to see us go 442 with Tollitt and Dunn wide, with Cook and one other up front. In reality, I think Micky will play three in midfield and Wallace will start again. Neither Mangan or Norwood deserve to be anywhere near the side at the moment, but in the absence of Connor Jennings it is difficult to see how we would make a positive change up front. Stockton deserves to start based on his recent performances, but is just too similar to Cook to partner him in my view.
Prediction: I think we will have more space to play tomorrow night, as Chelmsford won't be able to sit and frustrate as they did for long periods of the match on Saturday. Despite our poor performance in that game it was clear we had the better technical players and I would expect a reaction tomorrow night and a narrow Rovers victory. Indications are that the Rovers turnout will be reasonable, with perhaps 150-200 SWA in attendance.
