Thanks for the replies @Tommy2holes @Sussexshrimper @rigsby

I haven't been to the Railway since I played there with my band in the 1980s. This tells you I'll be a relatively older geezer, wearing a silver and grey Avec replica training top (2010? - I can't remember the vintage). That's how you'll identify me if you fancy saying 'hello' to a fellow Zoner/non-moaner.

It sounds like the Railway is the place to be...

Quality of ales

Straight into team or on the bench? Anyone know much about Foran?

 

[Shrimper]

Game #500 for me today

 

[Harry Bullocks]

It’s a shame we’re missing a few players for this one, I think a fully fit team against Gateshead would have really given us a clear indication where we’re at as a team.. Gateshead look an incredible well drilled outfit who will no doubt play an envious direct attacking style of football.

This will be an interesting one.

Agreed and it either works really well or as per Dags crashes and burns
Highly entertaining though

Product of the Arsenal academy and captained their U18 team, so must be able to play. Hasn't played a lot of first-team football so chance for him to prove himself.

I guess forans arrival means taylor is def out.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Welcome aboard

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Ha ha so who is right wing?
Just put your team down in full.

Knowing how they play, we have done really well with them previously by playing the aggressive press - something that we have not done for a while I feel.

with that in mind, if we don't sign emergency cover then I'd go with:

Collin

Gus

 Morton
Crowther
Gubbins

Bridge

Husin

KAF
Moncur

Bonne
Pepple

I would be willing to play Morton at the back purely as a possession keeper with a licence to travel l. Gateshead arrive with runners into the box and are brilliant at attacking with speed.

It's going to be interesting to see how we play full stop.

Obviously we’ve since signed a defender on loan but would that Morton as LCB or as more of a sweeper?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I remember a fan who used to wear a privately made Martyn Booty sweatshirt to games.

Do you still have it?

OMT now please.
