Excellent, as always.

I like your line up but I think I'd start with Obika. up front and I'm not sure Wildig is ready to start, so perhaps Diagouraga start instead, then Wildig come on later?

That's what I'd like, but I'd expect Robbo will start with his preferred style, with one up front and two out wide, so as we were previously, but Obika for Cole.

[P/T Indie]

Do we think Obika is fit enough to start he's only played 60mins and I think Robbo said he was still a bit off full fitness.

I would like to see Ayunga as the man up top and see if he is better suited as a striker instead of been out wide.

I think Gibson played well when he came on vs MK Dons as a third CB - I think we could look to continue with that shape. If we do, there could be scope to bring back Cooney into the mix…. Although McLaughlin hasn’t done a lot wrong so far.

Wildig played 90 vs PNE reserves midweek, Obika played 60 - but based on Robbos post match comments I don’t think Jon is pushing for the first team just yet… Hopefully a couple more weeks. Of the two perhaps Aaron could be available from the bench to make an impact, as he did vs Newport, but I’d be surprised to see either of them start tbh. So unfortunate with injury so far this season - was the difference maker in a lot of our games last season.

Does a 4G pitch potentially mean greater chance of injury? Could maybe be a consideration and SR won't want to risk anyone who seems particularly prone. Be good to see Obika get 30+ mins off the bench but doubt he'll get a start.

I think you've got to assume that any club lower down the leagues will rely a bit on physicality but it does sound like they try to actually play a good bit too so we should be prepared for both. I don't think we should change too much but I think a bit of rotation could freshen things up a bit.

I'd go with:

Letheren
Cooney
Delaney
O'Connor
Leigh
Diagouraga
Mcloughlin
McCalmont
Gnahoua
McDonald

Not entirely sure where we stand with our current injury list but I'd like to see someone else given a chance over McDonald on the wing, depending on who is fit of course.
