Even though it's only the usual 3 points up for grabs, this seems a big game. It will hopefully give us an indication that we are genuine promotion contenders rather than just a team aiming for a playoff place.
I like the look of all the suggested teams on the thread which is a little unnerving.
Certainly plenty of options and decisions to make for IB with an almost fully fit squad.
Big game, big crowd and with the two clubs respective league positions at present hugely important.

Same here QLD as sadly this season I'm basing any suggestions predominantly on what I read and hear from trusted sources due to lack games watched.
If all fit I like 3 at the back as I think it's a waste to have one of Rawlinson, Lacey or Cameron not playing cos they are all top performers at this level.
Big fan of 'The Rùben' and Big Kyle so they play every time for me. Not surprised to hear that one of main issues is the wide areas/wing backs and selection there probably depends on the opposition. As does central midfield (Palmer +2) and just how attacking we go 3-4-3 Vs 3-5-2.
IB knows his stuff and I trust him for any team selection/tactical decisions.
Tough game today obviously, should be a good one and jealous of anyone in attendance at the San Sirrel.
All of those clubs are gambling and there is no possibility all three will go up this season. Plus other clubs including us might have something to say about who goes up this season. So far only Chesterfield are in front of us points wise with 4 points more. Although Stockport and Wrexham are behind us in the table they have games in hand so both could surpass us. The point is neither of those three are tearing the league apart as of yet.
Let this serve us as a reminder of how perilously close we have been to the brink and whilst it might seem frustrating that we are in season three at this level we are going to have to be patient and cease the opportunity to capitalise where others who may have spent more than us falter or fail.
Regardless of the team chosen today we need some sort of result today, can’t say I’m confident really depends on the mentality that turns up today within the team chosen.
