Too soon for predictions as it very much depends on whether there are any more loan players available and therefore how 'very fortunate' any of last Saturday's starting eleven will be to survive the manager's blast!
Also we await news on Sparkes and Verma, assuming Lathrope will be out for some time.

Heart says we could scrape a draw, head says we'll lose 3-1.

In my opinion I think it's just not the players that have to step up to the mark it's the manager as well. The team needs to be set up right. We need to strong and not open we are not good enough to outplay teams we need to work hard and wear teams down and hope we find an opening. Blissett and Williams does not work.Ried and Blissett does not work. Try Blissett and Chaney especially if we've got width on Saturday. 4-5-1. or 4-4-1-1 .I'll have to pay more for my chips this week and they are not as good as last Saturdays.

Agreed, Nicho needs to channel his inner Martin Ling.

Buoyed by the new signings, we'll be playing with loads of width, crosses will be flying in to the box and Bliss will have a field day. Unfortunately, we still wont be able to defend though so I'm going for a 2-2 draw.

Wrexham - the biggest underachievers in the league. Over 3000 last Saturday to see them lose at home to Braintree and only just above us in the league. Their confidence must be as low as ours. We usually have good games against Wrexham and with three new players in the side (assuming they all start ........ ) I think this just could be a turning point, plus three points next Tuesday. Always got to keep hoping ....... One wonders where the money is coming from for these loanees.

My guess is they are all freebies, here to get fit and parade in the shop window ready to be sold/loaned to League clubs for ££ in January.

New players are coming in, so the Wrexham game could be the turning point in our season. (Or not). Either way, it's time to get behind the team, now more than ever. Get up to Plainmoor and give them all our support. And show any potential new owners that our club and our team do have a potentially great future and are worth backing.

2-0 or 3-1 to us. McCoulsky will make a huge difference. Gate will be around 2000.

I agree with Mr. Monkey and, with the addition of McCoulsky, I feel that a win is quite possible. So, if I may alter my previous prediction I now foresee the following result:

TUFC (2) 3 [McCoulsky 3]
Wrexham (1) 1

Att: 2114

No way will it be 2,000 I'm afraid. 1,500 with a couple of hundred from Wrexham.
