Can we Marc Bolton down for Solid Gold Eastleigh Action?

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

On more mundane matters, Ameobi is not having his contract renewed after this weekend but is fit to play. This effectively means he will showboat and score a hat-trick tonight. He will be far too powerful for Eastleigh's defence and inspire those around him to join in.

There's part of me that thinks we shouldn't play him, then. Either stick with Madine or give some pitch time to Woolery/Wilkinson/Eaves, whoever. Aye, I know, we need to win the game for cash - but we also need to suss out our ongoing options.

He's pay as he plays isn't he? If so we save cash by not playing him. Win win

I'd be pleasantly surprised if after 90 mins, we were ahead in this game. I'd fancy us if it went to ET, but not if it went to pens.

Why's Amos only got a one game ban. Is it different for goalies on straight reds?

Apparently you can watch all the goals from tonight's eight replays "as they go in" [sic] here:

Saw that. Thought. Decided they mean a replay of when they went in. The pillocks.

Tempting as it is, I'm opting for some beauty sleep. With luck I'll forget to check the score in the morning!

Doesn't it have to be violent conduct, or similar to warrant a 3 game ban?

Now, I may have misheard this, but this morning ont' wireless I'm sure I heard someone say that Eastleigh are bringing 5,000 up tonight. That can't be right, can it?

I hope so!

Edit: 7 coaches according to their official Twitter feed.

They'd need to be 714-seaters.

Hoboh knows where you can get buses that big from..

I read 500 somewhere yesterday. Were you distracted by the thought of 'Bang Tidy' at the time?

I may have been.

Rachubka, Vela, Holding, Dervite, Moxey, Pratley, Trotter, Feeney, Davies, Silva, Madine
Subs Campbell, Prince, Spearing, Danns, Dobbie, Ameobi, Woolery

I've put the XI in that order assuming Vela to RB (and interestingly Holding to CB, rather than promoting Prince) in a 4-2-3-1. It might be different.

[TANGODANCER]

is Wheater still injured? He went off so on Saturday.

Out for 6 weeks

Not too long ago the thought of Trotter and Pratley in the same midfield would have caused an outcry. Hope it's their year.
COME ON YOU WHITES......

Ah, right, cheers. More bad news...

A mere ripple in an ocean of shite.

The 5,000 predicted visitors became 500, but credit to them. We start with a lesson in possession but in our own half. Ah wee, that's that, but we get a free via Vela. An attack ends up with their keeper. Two minutes of possession is a good start says mic man. And....Madine can't get his first touch to be a killer one.

Are we being shown anywhere in the world?

Plenty noise from the citizens as we start over. Mark Davies, Holding, ....long ball to Feeney but the keeper gets it. Maybe the vistors will be dazzled by the sheer magnificence of our grass after their version of Queens Park. A mention of Constable but not an old master as the visitors, er visit us. Solva, Madine, Pratley and we get a free. A quick one and we set off via Silva. They come again, we repulse, they try again but Dervite clears, they clear back and...send one into the night sky as a first attempt. Madine, Pratley..bad one and then Dervite loses out. Clattenburg ignores a clatters, says mic man and now they sally forca nd......they score. GREAT.......0-1
