The situation has almost been made worse by the fact that Bennett has done so well at full-back! With him there and Chapman injured, Mowbray's hand has been forced to some extent, because we are left with no natural wide player (even in the U-23s).
If we are uncatchable after the Donny game, I would be happy with an experiment, but why take a punt, now, on changing something that has got us to our current high position?
Sure, against Oxford, let's try:
Raya
Lenihan Mowbray Williams
Bennett Smallwood Payne Bell
Dack Armstrong
Graham.
It might work, but it's just speculation. As things stand, I'm prepared to go with whatever Mowbray chooses. You can hardly say it's been a disaster so far.
Anyway, what have you seen in Payne that means he would transform the team? And how come Mowbray hasn't spotted it?!

Because he fears a team who lost on Sat and drew 3-3 last tues with already relegated Bury.
And has no faith whatsoever in the manager who has put us on a run that has seen us lose just one game in 31. Now is definitely time to change a winning formula with 3 games left and only 2 points needed.

This place is going to painful torture for the next few weeks due to one person,

.....so speak to you all over summer and enjoy the results, and the final few games. Who either way later on, regardless of the result will be intent on looking for bites, causing arguments and generally being an obnoxious twit.

robin you have my number and vice versa so I will be in contact before the Oxford game.
I have an operation in hospital next Monday 01/05. So wont be around for a week. I will check in with you on the Friday before the game, see if you are still coming up with your daughter.

Hopefully tonight we all get the result we want.
