For some reason they have barely played at home this season in the league. Just two home league games. A win against Sutton United and a draw against Wrexham. Seems pretty good home form. Some decent players in their squad. Robbie Gotts, Dom Telford, James Chester. Will be a tough game.
Changes from Saturday, I would get Senior in the defence (if fit) to free up Bailey for a midfield of him, Close and Westbrooke. Swap Faal for Ironside.
Thought Broadbent looked imposing when he came on v Gills.I would start him and put Biggins on later if we need a goal.You saw the difference in hold up play when Ironside replaced Faal. But Mo does pick up good positions and can stretch the opposition a bit more.

And doesn't include Roberts, Sotona, Taylor, Goodman, Griffiths, Lavery. I'm guessing Bramall made good on his funding promise because there's a hell of a lot of salaries there.
