They should name the new baby after the MOM today --- Princess Gary has a nice ring to it.

Deegan, Deegan !!!!!

Arrived and am in the ground. Pie queue is a disaster. Stretches the entire length of the away end terrace.

So looks like we have gone 451 again - seems a bit strange to change our winning system unless the Pig and Cassidy aren't fully fit.

Hopefully Jack can be a royal Payne in Morecambe's arse!

Strange that neither Cassidy or Pigott are in the starting 11. Perhaps PB is banking on Payne's speed and trickery to undo the Morecambe defence? A point is no good Phil, we must get 3.......maybe 'must' is too strong a word, but you know what I mean.

I'm assuming the thinking is Cassidy isn't fit and we've scored goals in the last 3 when we've changed from 4-4-2 to 4-4-1-1, so might as well start with it now. Seems a bit of a risk but obviously we don't know how fit Piggott and Cassidy are.

 

[AndyT]

Cassidy's been sick all week according to PB, just now.
