Here we go again...
After a decent off-season a few flecks of shit starting getting flung around with Fritta getting stomped on, Viney hurting his knee, Salem's thyroid playing up again topped off with May pinging his calf a few days out from the game.
That said, we looked decent in the warmup games and we have decent coverage for some of our injuries (May and Fritta obviously a bit harder to make up for). Still pretty confident we win this - our midfield is looking sharp and Grundy loved towelling English for the Pies. He and Max hopefully have a field day in the guts and up forward. Keen for Chandler and Laurie to have a go up forward for us, and McVee is looking very solid down back as Salem's replacement.
The beanpole forward line from the Dogs is a gamble. Could stretch us, although Darcy and JUH have a combined 26 games and 28 goals and Lobb is, well, Lobb - might be a handful, might be a total spud. Not to say they can't get off the chain, but without Weightman they're very short on decent crumbers so if it hits the deck they'll be ****ed.
