Only change I’d make is maybe start with Max and bring on later
Only 238 away tickets left out of 1,345 so the boys will have some great vocal support.
After getting over the line with our third league win on the trot impressively against Forest Green Rovers we need to attempt a harder task playing Crawley away who are also on three successive wins in the League and sit top of the current six game form league to our second. so a very tough ask. They have one of the leagues top marksmen in Orsi who scored his sixteenth league goal which saw them move into the play off positions with an impressive 3-1 win at Tranmere yesterday. Their home form is a bit hit or miss winning 10 games losing 7 and only drawing 1 but have scored 31 times in the process similar to our own form but more goals at home in a season we the supporters don't think that memorable up to press. This game really could be a season changer for us combined with the Wrexham game next up at home, win both and the bet is we will get giddy on here, and start to look up rather than down. Another six days rest might see us have choices to make who actually plays, and might come down to us having choices on tactical grounds, and interesting discussions on here who would be preferred. Grant and Cliff at last look like they are getting a tune out of the playing staff, who are looking much more a team with confidence and competitive spirit than just a couple of months ago and a team us the supporters hoped for at the start of the season. So what do you think? is utopia around the corner? can we get the win that will get us noticed? It is our biggest test of character as well as ability we have had for some time, I know the players would love to bring the points home, are we good enough is the big question? I think we can be, can we be consistent? I hope so but not so sure, please have your say
Are Crawley as good as their last few games suggest.I suppose it could depend on where in the league the teams that they beat are positioned.That is something that is often used to justify or otherwise how good Rovers results are.

Wins absolutley everything due to the fact he times every jump to perfection and thats what shows to me he is a class above. If we sign him for next season i think joe will be his back up.
How far have we come as a squad that we can consider dropping Ironside, who's been one of the best signings of the past few seasons! It's great to have such strength in depth, and agree with others that Biamou is worth a start on recent performances, although Joe never puts a foot wrong imo.Fancy feeling positive about the Rovers, who knew eh!!

Joe’s scored 14 league goals for us this season. He’s frequently shared MOM with Owen Bailey on this forum throughout the course of a tough season.2. With eight games left of the season, Joe has the chance to reach twenty league goals for Rovers, a feat not emulated since Marquis achieved the same feat. Would you deny him the minutes to reach that figure given the blood & sweat he has given the cause since last August?3. He missed a good chance on Saturday when the ball broke to Hak’s in midfield & he romped towards goal with Joe in close attendance. Adelukan slipped him in but a last ditch tackle from behind was enough to see Joe’s effort end up in the arms of their keeper. That ‘miss’ will be haunting him (I watched him as the players came to the touch line during a stop in play. He spoke to Hak’s who offered his hand & a pat on the shoulder for Joe). Joe was substituted shortly after by the indomitable Biamou.Give the lad the opportunity to ‘get back on that horse’ & consign that ‘miss’ to history.4. He has a good head of hair.
