Is the game today available on the Sky red button? I thought all non-Saturday 3pm kick offs were but I can’t see it advertised anywhere

Not on Sky Sports + today I’m afraid, I was looking last night. Only Wanderers TV.

Hopefully the flights to Vipienne aren’t affected by the weather

Oh fudge! Does that mean I actually have to freeze and attend the game?

I would gladly swap. Can’t make it down today, enjoy it!

I wonder if there will be increased crowds at others games today with a number of them already called off.

So far games OFF are:

Championship

Sheff Utd vs Oxford

League One

Doncaster vs Luton

Rotherham vs Mansfield Town

League Two

Bromley vs Oldham

Colchester Accrington

Harrogate vs Swindon

Newport vs Tranmere

Notts Co vs Gillingham

Salford vs Shrewsbury

Walsall vs Fleetwood

Increased? I would have thought decreased. What sane person wants to watch football in this weather (yes I’m going!)?

Do we need to go to Vipienne if it’s not a Saturday 3PM?

They are treating this round of fixtures as if it was a Saturday 3pm game (I think they make the rules up as they go along).

Some people use Football as an excuse to escape the kids / wife / life at home but I do understand where you are coming from

So who do we think is fit enough to start today? Do we think Grimmer’s back injury will be sorted so he can play or feature from the bench? Will Leahy be dosed up so that he’ll make it through most of the match? Will Junior be given another opportunity? Will we start with 3 or 5 at the back?

Given McNeilly hasn’t been sent packing yet, have him and Duff called a truce and he comes in to replace Bell?

Or does Duff put Fred on the left?

Maybe @Otter87 is right and we may see a Tilley cameo, or even a start? Or does Duff continue with Junior?

So many questions!

Baffling, there was a Saturday 3PM not so long ago they didn’t treat as one because it was a holiday.

Bible GIFThis book doesn’t have the answers……

How many layers today?

Temp is 1° at KO with a ‘feels like’ temp of -3°. Lots I would imagine!!

Brrrrr….. Long johns on standby.

A guess at today’s side, obviously highly dependent on player availability:

Norris

Huggins, Casey, Anders, Allen, Harvie for the back line

CBM, Leahy, Mullins in midfield

Woodrow and Fred up front

On the bench: Van Sas, Taylor, Fink, Junior, Tilley, Lowry, anyone else we can find…

I thought the Cardiff game was going to be chilly but it wasn’t too bad with the right prep. Stay safe and warm folks.

Tilley was fizzing in a few shots in the NYD warm-up. He may well be required to put one past his former employers.
