Fair to give Ramsey a rest. Can’t expect him to play Sat - Tues throughout the whole season. Hope Karoy plays well on his birthday, big game for him. COYR
Fairly understandable choices there. A midfield of Coventry, Anderson and Berry is workmanlike but hopefully Anderson can find his passing boots and link up well with Berry, use his energy to allow Berry to play a little higher. I can see why Tennai is in, he actually looked much improved under Jones and is surprisingly good at getting into the box, which is a good thing with Edwards as the more defensive wingback on the other side. Ramsay has shown brilliant defensive nous but not enough going forward and with Small out of form it'll be Tennai's chance to take.
Great to see Leaburn back in the squad, hopefully we'll get to see him play tonight
Not feeling at all confident about getting anything tonight. Hope I am wrong but feel we will lose. Look forward to seeing Miles & Chuks around 65 minutes.... When we are 1 down. COYRs!!
Did think Jones would be stubborn with the midfield. Not sure how Anderson (probably national league standard) gets so many minutes. I guess he runs a lot 🤷
I said before the season started that we will see more of Anderson than people may expect. NJ loves him for what he's good at and is willing to forgive and work with him on what he's currently not so good at.
Baffling line up. No Taylor. Anderson still in. Ramsay dropped for no apparent reason. Needs a rest? It’s bloody 1st October.
I don’t mean to be difficult but as an ex wing back (at a much lower level) playing twice a week at that level and covering that much ground must be fucking tough. Regardless of how old the season is, it’s not sustainable for the whole season without regular breaks
the line up pretty much reverts to the line up for the first games of the season except for Watson and Anderson .. i m o this line up looks pretty strong .. as ever, we will see .. great to see Leaburn on the bench
Pleased to see Leaburn back involved. Disappointed to see Ramsay dropped, as I really like him but understand if he needs a rest. I suspect it’s going to be boring and turgid (as per usual) but we will sneak a 1-0 win. NJ will be buzzing but it will be as thrilling as a snail race.
Thank you. The advantage of this is that i can pit it on the ipad, move the ipad to the bedroom and then when i fall asleep during the game, no need to move later

I think NL standard is harsh. We’ve always had this with academy players like him - Cousins, Wagstaff, Lapslie, Morgan and Fox. None were superstars but all were useful when we had the quality elsewhere in the team. Anderson’s unfortunate we don’t have Yann or Taylor up front, Aribo, Gudmundsson or Cullen in midfield etc. His weaknesses stand out more because of it.
Massive game for us ! We really need all 3 points. An even bigger night for Ahadme I think as another game without a goal will really pile the pressure on

3 strikers seems like overkill.
Otherwise I think you just end up being turgid and uninspiring like we have been.
