Not heard the team selection but one of the questions has to be who will start with Ellis upfront, Easter or Taylor? Glad that ones not my call but I'm sure DC will have his thoughts on that and get it right. We need a win not just for the three points but, after two good away wins, to avoid any claims the players freeze at home. I think we have the momentum and capability to win this fairly comfortably 2-0 Gas! COYB!  |

I think it's a hard one to call, both Easter and Taylor haven't scored yet, but both have made crucial contributions from the bench in the past 2 games.
Easter made all the difference when he replaced Taylor at Yeovil and caused them loads of problems, which enabled Ellis to fire in the winner, and Taylor made all the difference when he replaced Easter at Luton, and supplied that supreme pass to Sinclair to fire in the winner.
If it was me, I would probably stick with Easter, But DC is paid to make those calls and over the last year he has got most calls right.
Our back 4/5 will have to be on their game because Akinde(Amazingly) and Aaron McLean will be a handful, but I also think we will win this pretty comfortably and agree that it will be 2-0 Gas

Rather than play with a flat midfield 3, for home games i'd prefer to see Matty Taylor play as a number 10 behind the strikers and Linesy and Sinclair as the sitting midfielders. MT has an excellent football brain, great technical quality has the ability to drift into space, he also showed on Tuesday that he has the vision and quality to pick out a killer pass. Easter and Ellis are probably the best suited strike pair because they offer something different, and hopefully DC is close to bringing in a big 6ft 2 plus striker because you need that height and strength up front in this league. Would be nice to get a unbeaten run going so a draw would be good and the win would be excellent, hopefully Chapman can make it 3 clean sheets on the bounce.

Think this will be a very tough one .... they try to gain advantage through free kicks and penalties at every opportunity ...bordering on cheating..
Akinde scores goals and McLean is very decent ( had we signed him I think we would have been pretty happy).
WE will need to be at our very best ...if we are we will win if not I expect a draw or even a 0-1 which would be a bloody disaster!!

Same formation and team (Easter replacing Ellis) for me.
Maybe Bodin and/or Broom get a run out too.
Tough match ahead, I see it much like a Northampton-like opposition. If we keep our shape and organisation, I can't see MA outwit DC.
McCrystal had Akinde in his pocket here last season and I'm sure Locks hasn't forgotten so:
Gas 2-0 Bee

COME ON YOU BLUES!

Where are Taunton playing?

I would like to see that formation tried too . I know people knock Taylor for not scoring enough but he does a lot of work for the team. Also like the idea of a big strong centre forward as another alternative,someone like Archie Stephens to smash them up a bit.

Out of Easter and Taylor, I prefer Easter away from home because of his pace, MT at home because he is a clever box player and we re usually going to be trying to break teams down. One of them needs to start contributing goals for the team for their own and the teams confidence.
