It doesn't help, when our only real attacking threat (& the confidence of the team visibly lifts,) is brought on for the last 20 minutes of the game.

Sounds like Houghton and possible Walker back. I'd go with

Moy
Martin
Briscoe
Carlos
Barron
Walker
Smith
Ese Ese
Houghton
Aydin
Lane
Sao
Fash

Ashworth
Eseh
Ruan
Balmforth

Charles in for Walker if he isn't right.

If Walker and Houghton are fit that isn't too bad. At the very least we should be competitive.

Don't get your hopes up!

Kids for a quid and friends for a fiver this weekend apparently.
So if the kids have annoyed you over the summer holidays or you've fallen out with a mate, you can inflict a ticket on them cheaply!

I agree with that but they will still tell us its 9500 when its likely to be 7000

Kids don't deserve that. I'd report the parents to social services!

Another humiliating defeat on the cards

Both Houghton and Walker named in the squad. If they are fit to play that at least opens a few options in selection

I'd go with Moy at FB, Smith/Walker in the halves and Houghton/Balmforth at hooker.
