It should be Bim and Bon. I have my doubts but lets wait and see.

The problem for Walker or anyone else coming back from injury is no reserve/under 23 Wednesday games anymore and Kev wont make sub before 65 mins. Its tough going from a 25min runout after heads had dropped to starting.

Having said that if you don't risk a start v Maidenhead then when?
That famous commentators cliché comes to mind when I think of a Alan Devonshire team, agricultural. With that in mind, I would be a little hesitant to start Walker against such a physical side. He isn't fully fit and if I were the opposing manager, I'd target that. I'm sure Alan would too.

Pepple and Bonne can provide that physicality. I actually think the latter has played better than some would think. He's one an awful lot in the air and led the line. Problem is, he's had no support or any runners from midfield. That's where we need to improve drastically.

People lamented the one up top, but I totally changed the game at Wealdstone. We were terrible with two up top and was getting dominated in midfield. Without Miley, we find it really hard to dominate the midfield with only two players in there and two up top. It's why Maher puts an extra body in there. Be interesting to see what we do on Saturday.
 
He’s made 9 subs before the 65th minute in 12 matches so far this season (I think only one, Coker v Daggers, was enforced by injury).

So 9 from potentially 60. So less than a 1in 6 chance of anyone on the bench getting on before 65mins. If
No one is injured that's about 1in 8 .....Aren't stats Wonderfull.
 
Maidstone should win this one with our form, but with Maher's attacking formation and positive tactics & perfect substitutions, we have a great chance of turning them over 🙂
