Here's the team...

No surprises , Knowles a tad unlucky , but maybe Sam and his physical abilities got the nod...

You Pies!!!!

Unlucky for Knowles but Sam the best choice against a big back four.

With how we play I disagree. We play with the ball on the deck much to the annoyance of some on here. I would sooner have the movement and industry that Knowles gives.

Now if we are playing Sam to give us a some height in both boxes then fair enough.

Still I would much sooner we played our strongest side unless NA has half an eye on Stockport and has a plan for that.

I agree. I would say Sam’s worst asset is his ability to win headers. Would have preferred to see knowles making those runs giving Rodriguez and whooton more space

It's unlucky for Knowles and I can understand starting with Sam and rotating these two. If it's not working I hope Knowles can come on with sufficient time say last half hour to make a meaningful impact.

How that was not 2-0 with that one on one at the end I'll never know.

Probably the most disappointing performance of the season for me and we deserved nothing from that game at all. We did not test the keeper once in the entire game. To be fair to Cheaterfield they did a job on us by pressing, working hard, giving us no time on the ball and nullified any threat because we did not have the dominance of play or possession. We did not have anywhere near the quality, energy, creativity or spark to overcome that in the final third as has been the case many times this season.

It's games like today where our lack of creativity and ability to score more goals is going to cost us points. It puts more pressure on us getting a result against Stockport next.

There is no doubt about it we are far weaker up top this season having lost Thomas and Dennis. If we fail to get promoted this will be one of the key reasons.

I'd imagine Sam has been a little frustrated regarding lack of game time so now with a starting spot is his chance to impress. Good competition for places at present.
