Couldn't agree more.
A win at Histon, might persuade those extra fans from Boxing Day to return for Saturday's home match and perhaps kick start the season with 3 successive wins (Miller and Weir Daley might be fit again) -  (Histon - away, Vauxhall Motors and Workington at home).

Yes, his closing down forces defenders to do things they don't want to do, it sets up more chances for us. I can live with his sub-par goal tally if his work sets up goals for others

According to twitter he is 98% fit which is was a 4% improvement on the previous day so he could be on the bench.

I agree, we need him back badly and ideally in a front two with Newsh. I know he does so well up front on his own, but playing with his back to goal, and was exactly the case with Newsh last week is hardly the best way to utilise their strengths is it, especially when we just hoof it up to them in the air, Histon  have two whopping centre halves so I would also keep the midifeld the same as Saturday, they at least keep the passes shorter...and lower, and if we can get the ball to those front two get it to their feet they could prove as good a pairing as any in the league.Problem is, will DG revert back to 4-5-1 as Marrs looks a doubtful starter and is Steer suspended or will that be next week?

By the way, any chance of the game being off, a lot of rain has fallen and apparently loads more coming this afternoon

Peter Grant, one of their defenders from Boxing Day, has just been recalled by his parent club (Posh) so will not be playing for them today.

Just rung Histon regarding state of pitch. The secretary said it was okay at the moment ( 10.15 ) but rain is forecast however the ref will be there by 1300hrs (not much good for us) but the signs look good. See you all there.

Histon are confident their match vs Boston in the Conference North will go ahead should there be no further heavy rain prior to kick-off.

Should we want a replacement wing-back in a 3-5-2, then surely Connor is an option, as is Indy?

The rain is expected to start hammering it down, early afternoon, putting me in doubt this is. How long will it take to get there from Boston?

Allow about 90 minutes for travelling from Boston.
