It looks like another competitive selection tonight then. Just for beer's sake I'll inject some optimism into my veins! Although I think it will be a 1-1 draw (see score prediction thread) I am excited about the prospect of a team who must inject passion and commitment into their game due to the quality of the fringe players. I foresee Todd having a selection headache in a few positions and look forward to this becoming a frequent problem for him.

COME ON YOU MIGHTY BANTAMS

Nice to see an enthusiastic Todd and for once he is focusing on the positives from the performance. Shame he didn't make a positive reference to the fans but hey you can't win em all! Maybe tonight with the roar of the VP faithful pushing our boys on his post-match interview might stretch to including a mention for us guys!

Unfortunatley one of the last times we didn't have a goalkeeper on the bench our Keeper got sent off.

Ricketts is unpredictable at the best of times and putting an extra keeper on the bench is a good idea.

You should be able to fit 2 attackers within the other 4 subs if you are daring enough.

I trust our back four enough to have 1 defender, maybe just keep doyle on the bench with an attacking midfeilder 2 strikers and a keeper? Doyl could cover a defender if needed!

Why 2 strikers? I'd always load up midfielders on the bench - they are more likely to get injured IMHO. Only option is replace Howarth with a striker on the bench and then if Ricketts is injured, Deano goes in the net.
