Expectations for Saturday ?

Everything points to a decent home victory, but thankfully it’s not like the prem where certain teams just have to turn up to ensure the win.

Looking forward to a home Saturday 3 o clock ko, Didzy up top and Jones and Crowley playing in their rightful positions(another assist from the left for JJ last Saturday I noted).

Everything else should hopefully take care of itself.

Jatta should be back from his concussion protocol and you’d imagine will start again. I reckon Didzy will keep his place though, possibly in place of Edwards.

According to FA guidelines the concussion protocol for returning to play suggests 21 days, which would mean no Jatta again on Saturday. However, this appears to be based on a "If in doubt, sit them out" basis so maybe if passed by a health professional he will be able to play again?

I heard SM mention 21 days in a presser, either pre or post Swindon. Saturday would be Day 16.

Ah I missed that, thanks, so have to assume he definitely won't be playing on Saturday then!

The enhanced care pathway which is detailed in the pdf and applies to professional clubs who have qualified medical practitioners means that he would be eligible to play after 12 days, so could be available on Saturday. This was discussed in the magpie circle on Monday and apparently the club have said that an update will be given by SM in his pre Accrington presser

I’d definitely be giving it the ‘he’s not playing’ line in the presser and then drop him in on Saturday.

Thanks for that.

I like Jones on the right tbh I think it gives the defenders more to think about, he’s bent in some nice crosses when cutting back, plus he can drive towards goal and get a shot off and he can actually hang in a decent ball on his right. I actually like Crowley deeper as well but I’d play him as a 10 with a bit more freedom to roam.
It’s all opinions the good thing is they can play both at a very high level.

A difficult call as Crowley playing deep against Grimsby was just simply awesome !

I'm expecting a win with at least 3 home goals
