Remember, we’ll have to wait until Friday night for real selection news. Tonight it’s just a squad of 26 and we know with Saad out that will mean 5 ins. I guess the only real news will be whether there are any other names in the outs.

Fair points, we know Saad is out for certain so they will only name him as an out and the rest 4 ins.
Gov Kemp Cincotta Fog or Dow

I have to admit that I fear the worst for us in this game unless we can find some much better form, and I don't mean just digging a bit deeper for this week. I am yet to be convinced about our ability to be consistently good. 🤔

A lot of players have been getting a free ride on poor form.
I wonder when this club will get serious on the selection table and drop players that are underperforming and giving players recognition for good form.
Kemp, Cincotta, Dow and Binns should play.

I know one thing with almost absolute surety, we cannot play worse than last week.

That provides plenty of scope for us to put in a really crappy performance for this one GTC.

I feel we can't possibly do so, I don't know why, I just don't think we will. We must and will bounce back, history shows we do.

I pray that you will be proved right mate! I really need a lift of spirit,  something to give us some encouragement.

I think we'll come pretty focussed this week.
It may be won or lost in the planning phase and the coach's box.

They have as many injuries as we do to key personal. We are supposed to be top 6 this year in most experts predications. They were predicated  to be in the bottom 4. So lose this week and you won’t hear any excuses from me.

Their new coaches honeymoon period won’t last forever - my heart is afraid of losing to them as I can’t stand them and hate them more with Lyon as coach but my head says we are a better team and if we play to the level we showed towards the end of last year we win this.

Concern is we haven’t been able to find that level yet this year and anything less and Ross the boss with strangle the life out of us and get the points. 

I’m well and truely on the fence this week. Have no idea how this one goes but hoping like hell we lift and find some form this week.

Not sure he’s a speed demon. He’s regarded as a hard runner, in other words he has excellent endurance. That fits the modern wingman mould: the more endurance they have, the more distance they can cover from D50 to F50 and back again without needing spells on the bench, à la Ed Langdon. But I’m guessing Fisher, Saad, Honey and others would have him covered for straight-line speed.

On 2nd reading, maybe you were suggesting Binns and another to add pace rather than suggesting Binns would add that pace?

Mav....both him and Kemp is my thinking. We just look flat through the midfield at the moment. They might not be the solution...who knows...but along with Dow might just change things up a bit.

The Saints have an injury list way worse than ours including both key forwards who have been missing....and they've lost one game by not much to Collingwood. They seem to have adapted. If we'd lost Harry and Charlie combined for the first 4 games I'd suggest we would've been 0-4. King and Membrey aren't Harry and Charlie but they've found a way to conjure enough goals to win, while holding the opposition...even with some key defensive players missing as well....together with some midfielders like Steele, Billings, Jones etc.
