Northwich

Before last weeks game with Aldershot I was feeling uncharacteristically positive. Now, looking ahead to Northwich, I'm back to my usual state of reticentness.

We should win tomorrow, there's no doubt about it. The trickies (great nickname innit) are pointless on their travels so far and will be missing their best player, Michael Carr, through suspension. But past experience tells us that United are specialists at losing these unloseable games.

But this years squad are made of sterner stuff than most, so I suppose I should have a bit more faith. It will be interesting to see how we cope without Albrighton (whose absence was conspicuous in the Halifax game he missed through suspension) and Gleeson. Gleese (pictured) has been coming in for a bit of stick lately, but for me he is still one of our most consistent performers. If he has had a dip in form recently it's probably because he's about the only player in our squad not to have a rest so far this season.

Reedy will no doubt do his best filling in tomorrow, but I do wonder whether it's a great idea to have a player who thinks his right foot is for standing on only to be playing at right back. Not that there is a long list of other candidates waiting to take his place of course. It's also a bit disappointing to see that Yeovil are considering recalling Daryl Knights due to injuries. Obviously it's their prerogative to do so, but our attacking prowess would be significantly lessened without him. Maybe we could send them Chilli instead and hope they don't notice...
