Looks like MHS is a doubt and sounds as if some players are under notice to shape up or ship out and Chally expecting a bit of a long ball game from Sutton. I wonder whether some already know they will be shipped out or at least fall out of first team plans come January. Tight game for me 70 % possession but struggle to break them down 1-0 either way or bore draw.

Just a bit of fun aren't they? my match predictions are about as successful as my bets I think today's one is particularly helpful as an indicator of the collective mood. Top of the league v bottom and a good number predicting defeat- imagine the contrast to if this fixture had been four/five games ago. I should think a few of those votes are an attempt to curry favour with the footballing Gods (be prepared for the worst then it won't happen).. but still. Feel the first ten minutes particularly important today. A strong start to quell the nervousness on pitch and in stands. Not necessarily even a goal, but a good energetic assault on theirs. No, it needs to be a goal. No good starting well then fading when we don’t score, which we s what will happen in that scenario.

I'd personally go back to a 3 at the back, we haven't got the personnel for a 4 man midfield at this moment in time.
Hinchliffe Wright Horsfall Pye MSH/Knoyle Croasdale Touray Camps Bailey Wootton Madden
Smith, Pond/Knoyle (depends on MSH whether Knoyle starts or on the bench), Byrne, Richardson, Cotterill, Powell, Olaofe

I’ve never understood the point of match prediction polls Just a bit of fun aren't they? my match predictions are about as successful as my bets Exactly. You are not forced by a yellowboard directive to put down the result you really think. So much superstition on it anyway where some will never back County and others always will.

Suspect the former 2 will be playing while injured

We are better with 4 at the back but only when we have the players to play it. That midfield you've listed lacks energy IMO. Collar and Sarcevic out has decimated our midfield energy. The midfield diamond just ends up a narrow mess with the current personnel. Full backs having to stay back further because they're in a 4 and a midfield that doesn't cover enough ground. I also don't think it works as well without Barry and a fully fit Olaofe. When they were together they both worked the channels which increased the width.

Plus so are the set pieces from the flanks.

If we come out today like we did against Grimsby and get an early goal (or two), the mood will be totally transformed.
If we piss about and labour against the worst team in the division, as we did the other night and last few weeks, then it’ll be a dreary slog.
