Expect us to continue our good form and be positive from the outset rather than playing for a cagey draw.

Brackley will be physical and tough but they are part time and our class should shine through.

Elsewhere lets hope that one or more of the other contenders slip up.

This one smells a bit today. Plastic pitch and a newly promoted side with a home win already in the book. Our best chance is if they don’t park it and instead press us. However I think the former is more likely. Hoping we can get a lead early. Expect we will grind out a 1-0 win.
Hope those travelling have a good day.

Confident on this one, but as alluded to on the podcast, it's another challenge for this squad. Think it'll be the first time a team really parks the bus against us and with a team I suspect which will be closer to the Burnley game than our league games, it's as much of a test of depth as anything.

It's not a plastic pitch.

If you don't know why your posts keep getting downvoted, there's no hope for you.

Having beaten an established NL side in Eastleigh in their opening home game, is there anything to indicate how Brackley will set up?

I know very little about them.

I watched their highlights versus Yeovil and they surprised me in that they went for it. Their no.10 in particular looked very handy.

They may well not be the low-block team many would expect of a lesser resourced, newly promoted team.

Won their last home game and although they lost at Yeovil on Wednesday they were supposedly the best team and very unlucky. We are going to have to earn the right to play our game today and i expect our defenders to be really tested. A tough test i think, they'll see us as a scalp.

So it’s sometimes better to look past the name then?

Would expect plenty of changes this weekend, so the big thing is those coming in take their chance.

A little worried we've made too many changes here. I know we have a bigger squad, with better quality this season but this is a risk.

An amazing number of changes to a team that must have finished the last game brimming with confidence. Hope Jim knows what he's doing. Looks a bit risky to me.

11 changes is ridiculous and borderline disrespectful to our opponents. I know Jim thinks the schedule is barbaric, and he's probably trying to make a statement, but this isn't the right way to go about it.

Completely different starting eleven, never seen that before in league games. I expected 3 or 4 changes. Unbelievable really, i hope it works out obviously.

Not sure why its barbaric, its a game of football not a war. It will be intersting to see how many changes the Brackley manager makes and lets remember they played away from home on Wednesday and are part time footballers.

Never known so many changes to a winning line up after such a fine run of form seems very risky, just take care of the next fixture and dont look too far ahead 👍

Win and it’s a great move. Lose and it’s a mistake.

As ever, it’s a results business.

No Whatmuff is the biggest one for me. The rest have an opportunity to stake a claim and prove why they were signed in the first place. I like the thought of Pettit and Burger in midfield.

Humbles and Hosannah injured? Would have expected both to feature if we were planning this in advance.

Doesn't feel right to change the team completely for a league game as though it's a cup game. Better to retain a bit of continuity. Would hsve thought the likes of Gordon, Gilmour and Mani could play for example. Almost feels like a passive aggressive statement about the scheduling.

Either a masterstroke to protect players or a mastermistake. Never seen a complete starting 11 before when a team has won the last 3 games. More than happy to be proved wrong but feel this is a strange decision irrespective of a Monday game.

I feel that this is a indirect protest to the 3 games in 5 days.

That is not an insult to any player selected, more from comments last year and this obvious selection.

Playing Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday and Monday is a big ask. We have a big squad so why not use it? There are enough players on the bench who can come on and make an impact and the starting line up has enough quality to take care of business.

What we don't want is a fatigue injury to a key player who is then out injured for 6 months.

That’s where I am too. Although probably would have changed 7/8.

I get the concern, but was equally concerned how we would manage to keep players happy and here is they never saw a route into the team. This dispels that straight away and helps make them realise they have a part to play.

If it works, we can then make 5/6 changes week to week knowing players are ready to come in. It’s very brave of the management team.

I don't know who the statement will be aimed at because the National League and every team that wins today wont give a rats arse about what McNulty thinks. Taking care of business is what today is about, its all about winning. It will be interesting to see how many changes, York, Carlisle, Southend make today. Football has changed, people have changed. Good luck to Jim and the players anyway, lets hope it works out and we carry on the momentum.
