It’s just so difficult to predict scores these days. Could be absolutely anything but I’ve gone for a draw.

[TelfordVilla]

We have the ability on the pitch to win this i just hope we find the mentality to do so

We need to start well - not wait until game is over to begin doing our thing. Not sure Deano will have the bottle to make significant changes but if same set up i hope he changes it a lot quicker this time if clearly not working.

Midfield is the key - with and without the ball

Martinez will want a clean sheet - 0-1 Luiz free kick

  what significant changes could there be ?

[RamboandBruno]

The answer is no significant changes. Elmo and Trez is probably a good shout if Smith wants to take Cash out the firing line for a couple of weeks, although I’d be happy if he plays.

3-2 us, a last minute VAR handball decision to us to make up for being robbed last year.

[Legion]

4-0.

I think that will be it too. If we don't set up with a midfield two protecting the defence, it will be another defeat.

[Allan C]

Got a sneaky suspicion that this will end 1-1 Watkins for us

[Dr Butler]

should of beaten them last season, IF and a huge IF we can keep a clean sheet then we will win.

[Big Ming]

Can't see anything for us here.

The first four games raised expectations to unreasonable levels.

We need to remember that most of us were hoping for a safe mid-table finish before a ball was kicked.

Targett and his inability to retain the football was a major cause of last Sunday's defeat.

I would be seriously thinking about giving Taylor a run out (although I can't believe I'm suggesting that).

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

We'll lose but win the league.

[Bobby Boy]

2-0 loss.

[darren woolley]

2-1 Arsenal win.

Think that’s a bit harsh, thought Targett was actually one of our better players

Me too, and in the main I think he is shite usually. He was probably our best defender last game.
