[St Charles Owl]

THE MATCH - TUESDAY 31ST JANUARY 2017 at 7.45PM BST

   V     

After thee disappointment at Brighton and the a long period without a game, we return to league action with a game against a team who simply cannot buy a win currently. I thought at the start of the season that Brizzle would potentially challenge the playoff spots and they started that way at the beginning of the season. But since then they have plummeted down the table and have now lost 13 of their last 20 games and their last 8 in a row!!!! If we were to hand pick an opponent, then they are it!!!!

Not played them many times but our record at their place is quite good and we have only lost 2 of our last 10 visits there. This is a game we can and should win, and provides the perfect platform to bounce back form last weeks game.

Last seasons away league fixture saw us come away with bugger all and our worst defeat of the season I think.  The team that day included Wildsmith, Nuhiu, McGeady, Turner and Lopez so maybe the result wasn't such a surprise!! Don't need a repeat of that but just in case we need reminding of what can happen if we switch off here is the video:




THE LAST MATCH

Sickening end to a game that actually saw us play well enough to win!!! Two red cards, a missed penalty to put us 2-1 up and a general attitude of getting rattled too easily caused the defeat. This was a classic game that turned on one event - the penalty for us. Had Forestieri scored that I am sure we would have gone on to take all three points as they were also down to 10 men, but the way we capitulated in the last quarter of the game was galling to see!!!

Here is the video - not for the feint of heart!!




WHO'S IN AND WHO'S OUT

No Hutchinson and no Fletcher after their red cards, so who will play instead?? I assume we will see Winnall up front and Jones in midfield, but we do have other options. Here is my team:

Westwood

Palmer  Loovens  Lees   Pudil

Abdi Jones Bannan  

Forestieri
Winnall Joao
