Every game is important in this league but these are actually the really important ones. Not the derbies or the Sheep or Septic but your home matches against yer St J’s, St Midden, Coonty and of course Saturday’s foes. It’s these matches that really dictate if you finish in a comfortable spot or you’re fighting the drop. We’ve done well so far (bar the Well blip) and Saturday is no different. IF we win, then I really will start to feel that we can forget about avoiding the drop and start to re-focus on a new target - top 6. This will not be easy, it’s a Delboy team after all. And particularly after their midweek thrashing and with Delboy’s tactical acumen of sizing up the opposition I expect them to sit in and play for the break. I’ve no doubt he’s seen that that is exactly what we have by and large been doing and I suspect he’ll be trying to draw us in a bit. What I do not expect in the slightest is for them to come out all guns blazing with their current defensive issues.

I anticipate another close contest and frankly, likely not a great spectacle. But if we can keep a clean sheet, thenI have confidence we’ll be able to knick one and grab the points.

Team line up - leave that to JG, he’s paid the big bucks after all.

Score prediction - 1-0 to the good guys (hopefully).
