I'd switch willock for Ashford if he's fit and Joel for turnbull but put Joel in the 10 and Robertson next to Wintle, we're gonna need lots of legs in midfield Saturday I think

Before anyone asks why I say Osho, that's because I just think his passing is better overall than Fish. He's also our quickest defender. Fish plays some great diagonal passes but can give the ball away with them too, which might not be best from the start in this game.
But I would say that because Osho has had his fitness issues lately, he can tire towards the end of games - that was obvious in the last ten minutes at Orient.
So I would bring Fish or Chambers on for him at 70 minutes.

I think we need to consider the home game, but we have also matured alot since then.
I wouldn't play Wintle and Turnbull to start. I'd want legs in there and someone with a bit more spite, so Robertson straight in.
NG at right back will help as he's back to his form of 3 or so years ago and seems to be up for the battle.

Think he’s been improving lately so not massively against him playing

I think Chambers gotta start,captain,playing well and good at playing out from the back.

Chambers on form should start and lead the team. Lawlor next to him

Ng – Lawlor – Chambers – Bagan
Wintle – Robertson – Colwill
Tanner – Davies

This would be my selection.
I’d bring Chambers back in for his leadership and calmness in a high-pressure game. Davies and Tanner give us real pace out wide, which we can use to hurt them, especially as they’ll be under more pressure to attack playing at home.
The midfield three of Robertson, Wintle, and Colwill provides the energy and legs we’ll need in central areas. In the home fixture, I was really impressed with their intensity in midfield, and we’ll need to at least match that this time around.

I'd go with that team too, though I do feel we should try Kapakio in a more forward position. I'm not confident at all for Saturday.
