Another team that have suffered more defeats than the Alex. However, this time I don't think we'll get a 1-1 draw. Despite the pitch being on our side I suspect that Salford will overpower us 2-0.
The other possibility is a postponement due to a frozen pitch.
Another issue to consider is the line-up, particularly at the back. Should we play a back three, who will be occupying those 3 positions? Offord's name is already written in but who else? O'Riordan is available again but is the last 'senior' CH left. BSD could be recalled or Mellor or even Thomas could be included. I, personally, believe (unless we have yet more CHs red-carded!!) that we have seen the last of BSD and so I believe the 3 will be Mellor, O'Riordan, Offord. The trouble is that they are all right footed and so there will be some imbalance. (I don't know if Thomas is left or right footed).
Meanwhile, CBR came on at Sutton but, to be honest, did very little and barely broke sweat. Will he start? I think not but will make an entrance from the bench. (possibly dangerous for him to play too long on that pitch!). Is there any point in both talented midfielders, Tabiner and Finnegan turning out on a ploughed field? Amoo and Colkett are fit, should they play?
