After losing to Oldham, it is crucial we get something out of this, to avoid getting cut adrift at the bottom. It will be interesting to see how much Les changes the side, up to now he hasn't made wholesale changes. Arguably this has led to complacency and it's about time some of the players stopped taking their places for granted.
I think it's a given that Zoum will replace Cressa. It's likely that Marvin Sordell will be given a start, though less easy to decide who he should replace. He's not a target man figure, so the only fit player we have to fulfill that role is Terry Gornell. Either Terry plays or we stop the abundance of aimless high balls into the opposition half and largely play on the deck.
Chris McCready hasn't played in ages, don't know how close to match fitness he will be, so while on paper it's attractive to move Ash into midfield that creates something of a risk at the back. If Welsh is unfit replace with Edds, otherwise McLaren should make way. While there is a case for replacing Shuker with Barnett, on balance I'd start with Shukes.
Prediction. Lose this and we are down is how it feels, despite the number of games left. Think we can scrape a result.
