    Time for Dan the man and Basil to step up to the plate.

    Think Barlaser/Rathbone have been off their game for a few games now. Wiles seems to be the only one busting a gut in midfield. Now is not the time to switch off with so much to play for. What I would say to these two......

    Dan - Put the goal of the season award under the bed and forget about it. Show us the real Dan Barlaser today with your pin point silky passes that can split a defence in a blink of an eye. Look to control the middle of the park with whoever is playing today. Oh go on then, throw in a worldie if you like.

    Ollie - Come on lad the season is nearly over and you're almost there. Yes it's been a long hard one and something you've probably not seen or done before in training. The rewards are immense so let's see a gut busting performance today.

    A word of caution! If there's a skirmish over a foul, don't go running in like the big man shoving people around as this is one of your traits that may well cost you and the team. Just go about driving the team forward and putting those tenacious tackles in, whilst not leaving a trailing boot behind

    I totally agree Brin. If these two "click" then the team does also. They've both been off their game for a while now so let's hope they get their magic touch back for today and the remainder of the season. We've missed their dominance in games and Ben Wiles has been left to do the donkey work, which he's done admirably. COME ON YOU MILLERS

    Of the two, my choice would be to bench Rathbone and start Lindsay who looks well up for it. Basil can always come on in the second half if required and maybe the bench start might rest him as well as waking him up! Same could apply to Barlaser of late.

    Agree. Get these two clicking again and we'll be laughing. Think Baby Dan might have been a factor in his recent form loss. New parenthood can be a proper challenge

    I see you are as big an idiot about football as politics.
