A Winter’s Away Day to York
For the last game before Christmas Day,
An away trip calls, a tricky foray.
To York City we march, where the Minstermen lie,
In second place, their ambitions high.
A 1-1 draw at Tamworth last week,
Shows their resolve, both steady and sleek.
From opening day, they’ve made their mark,
With grit and guile, they’ve lit a spark.
At Roots Hall then, they stole a share,
When “the Shop” emerged from the bench’s lair.
GSM’s header, a fleeting lead,
Undone by York’s determined creed.
Ollie Pearce, the league’s crowned king,
Who followed Hinshelwood’s coaching ring.
With Nathaniel-George, a Shrimper past,
Providing crosses, both deft and fast.
For Blues with hope, a brighter song,
Five games unbeaten, three clean sheets strong.
But for the cautious, a gloomier view,
Who sigh at the stalemate, the goals too few.
Kev and his men must find a way,
To sharpen their strike on this winter’s day.
A shuffle, a gamble, perhaps the key,
To topple York and claim victory.
The Minstermen wait, in form, in pride,
While Shrimpers gather, from far and wide.
One final chance in 2024,
To seize three points, to dream once more.
So who would you choose to start against one of the Division's form teams at the York Community Stadium and what do you predict the result will be?

cav and Morton together is a big NO. why change a defence that kept a clean sheet last time out? Going away to top of the league pretty much you need a strong defence. Not a lad that hasn't played a minute for us. Need Kendall in for his apparent work rate to close them down.
