I took a look at their squad. Industrious striker Jason Walker has been the main instigator in their successful run. He's determined, hardworking, and flamboyant, but not especially good in the air or in front of goal or with the ball at his feet (just decent at everything). If we neutralise him, that'll take a lot of wind out of their sails.
Their wingers could be a problem if they get a lot of space. Both have pace to burn and good crossing ability. They have slow central defenders, though, and our big chance to destroy them could be exploiting Chris Doig's lead-footedness. Nialle Rodney's lightning quick, so maybe we'll keep him in the starting lineup.
On the subject of starting lineups, I'm concerned about right-back Peter Bore; he looks exhausted. I could put Robson in for the next match, but he might get destroyed for a lack of pace. It's too soon for Kanouté. I guess we'll see how Bore pulls up tomorrow. Either way, that could be our weak spot against York.
Khano Smith arrived on trial today. I don't think there's any chance we'll offer him a permanent deal. He has decent skill and pace, but not a determined bone in his body. He also lacks composure, creativity, and decision-making ability. Then again, who knows? Maybe he'll surprise me.
