They are not on a bad run only losing 2 of their last 10 in the league and surprisingly have only won one less game then us this season.
After a good performance on Saturday think we will stick to the same starting 11 and hopefully build on the confidence gained before the 96th minute.
Really looking forward to this one as it has to be our first win at home for soooo long. Beano to follow up his great finish on Saturday with a brace.
Hopefully a boost to the crowd by all us romantics spoiling our other halves with Chips and sauce at the burger van, might need to really ramp up the romance with XXL Bovril in the second half as well.

Looking forward to seeing Jack Midson back, just as long as he doesn't score!

A brace? Of what offsides in a minute? Misplaced passes? I'm still struggling to get my head round why he's in the squad.

Richard Hill, Chris Todd, Ronnie Moore & Martin Allen all seem to think he has got something about him having selected him in the vast majority of squads when available.
The guy has been a professional footballer for the last decade plus, he might be half decent?! Just a thought :0)

Thought he was good for most of his first 2 seasons here. Not great for the first half of this season but then you could say that for a number of players, that's kind of why we are 13th :0/
Maybe we should release Beano and Scott Wilson and play with no strikers :0)

Think it could well be the lowest crowd of the season tomorrow night but hopefully that elusive home win!
I reckon 2-0 Eastleigh.

Every time we persist with constable we are basically playing with 1 less player. A striker who doesn't score. Brilliant.

James Constable has scored 4 goals in our last 7 league games including two in the first of these, and had a record prior to this season of 2 goals every 5 games for this club which I do not think is bad. I do not think that him and Darius Henderson are a particularly effective partnership though.

Henderson is out for the season.

I did know that Henderson is out for the season, but that did not alter my point.

No one is an effective partner with Constable, that's the whole point....every striker that leaves us starts scoring goals elsewhere. Constable gets a goal here and there but as the number nine the league goal count is embarrassing for what he earns. Good work rate but his position is about hitting the onion net or at least give assists, he's rarely at the sharp end and some games he doesn't even get a shot at goal.

Very flat atmosphere and performance. Come on 2v1 second half!

Well Allan's video message trying to explain that away will be interesting. His players his style of play and it seems to get worse. Does anyone see the point of Togwell doesn't seem to do much either as player or captain.
