Interesting, is king any good because its surprising to see him on the bench we aren't thatshort of players this season. However with 4 players out we can put outa fresh new squad to get a good result. hope roberts is better we need his expeirence and confidence right now.

The lad certainly has potential, but he has struggled with injury since leaving us for Liverpool, and still doesn't look quite as sharp as the other youth team players.

I very much doubt he will be on the bench tomorrow, teams always take a few players more than needed just in case someone picks up an injury during the pre-match warm up.

For those that haven't heard, FGR have signed Cobblers striker Steve Guinan on-loan.

I also note that tomorrow's ref is Amy Fearn (neé Raynor), who was the ref when we lost 4-0 down there two seasons ago - not that it was her fault we were so poor in that game. Let's hope she doesn't get panicked into any decision about calling the game off when there's little wrong with the pitch, like we saw with the Oxford and Mansfield games last season.

Presumably she penalises a bad tackle? ;)
