Leaving out Coady, Spaven , Emmett , Bovill (inj) Sampson & Lawton ( un available)

fully agree

wow.

and Morrison

Yes , thats right Gary .

No doubt they all will not be available. its just the team I think will do a job a week on Sunday .

Well Spav has had a couple of mares in the last three games, so maybe a change is merited.
His little chip kicks to run on to have all been gobbled up by defences.
Coady had the best spectator viewpoint in the house against Worky ... back to normal there then.
I wouldn't leave Morrison out of any side though, the lads a tryer.
I am a big fan of Crisper ... but he has gone right into his shell of late.
We've gone stale at just the wrong time.

Spurr & Morrisson not getting the ball .

Even when Chris Spurr and Nev Morrison have got the ball they've not had any room to manouvre. Give them a chance and I'm sure they'll take it.

Scott Spaven has been good for us all year but has hit a flat spot at the moment. We need him to get his confidence back. I'd definitely play him at Gateshead as a good game on Sunday could see him back to his best for the play-offs.

If we dropped him, don't play well, and then bring him back for the play-offs, it would put him under even more pressure.

We've not beaten Gateshead as easily as many of the other teams this season. They slowed the play the ball in the game at the Keepmoat very well. We never got any proper momentum going.

Hopefully we'll be wise to this tactic and impose ourselves on the game a little better.

Is Ash Williams still on loan to them?

I hope i'm wrong but i belive the rule highlighted below may rule Chris Green out of the Playoffs.
