Massive game for us Saturday. I don't think we've had more riding on a derby game for a long time.
If we lose Saturday I think we'll go down, I know it's only one game but with how toxic things are already they will get alot worse with a derby defeat at home.
We've improved slightly the last few games, I like Chambers in centre mid looks far more comfortable there than at centre back and Ashford has been a revelation since coming in.
Robinson has to come in for Colwill and maybe Siopis for Rino probably the only two changes I'd make. Perry has been poor this season to say they least but his shithousery is needed in games like this.
As for that lot I've only seen them a few times and obviously when they play us, but what is clear is virtually everytime we play against them Matt Grimes has a cigar on and is allowed to dictate the play and tippy tappy his way around our midfield without anyone getting near him. He needs to be harassed saturday maybe even put Sio on him and follow him all game.
More often than not if he has a good game they do, we need to nip that in the bud from kick off and not let him get into his rhythum.
I don't believe dumb and dumber will be injured at centre back for them either just mind games but we can't allow them to take a stroll to the halfway line like we normally let them do.
Get into them from the off and we'll do these. I'm going for 2-0 Robbo and Ashford to score. Bring on the heart attack.

1-1 for me.
We aren't free flowing, they are good at the back. We tend to concede, they tend to score against us.
3 points yesterday makes it a little less tense on our end. They haven't won in their last 3.
