If that is the team we look a bit lightweight up top, but defence looks decent so I'm going for a 1-0 win (Casey again).
But after last time, I'd settle for the game going ahead, having got there.
Do we know if there is a pitch inspection this morning and if so what time?
We don’t want a repeat of last New Year’s Day 🤣 🤣

Sounds good 👍
And let’s hope the 100% away win on the poll is correct, I’m going 1-3

McCallum starting, 2-1 Wanderers🤞
Front line of Lewis, PMac, Casey & Jimmy looked really good first half 👏 👏
Second half scrappy, and lots of stoppages, but solid away win and a good squad developing for the rest of the season
Harry Sids looks great 👍 too

Really solid away win, both the debutants did well, Camp was in the wars again as usual, although the day was slightly spoilt by some idiot home fans who tried to cause a fracas around the tunnel as the players left the fueld at the end.
They had zero answers for McCallum in the first half, he won every header and bullied their CBs. A total menace. Going to be so important for us for the rest of the season.
If only he could be in the box on the end of his long throws!
the second half wasn’t a great spectacle, a bit disjointed but three points secured is all that matters. Macca my MOTM. Maestro!
Onto the next. COYW.
Thought that was a great win, not pretty, but certainly didn't warrant this (and other) messages on the Hampton forum

Were they watching a different game?
