Torquay United v Rotherham United

It's 3 hours to kick off and there's no match day thread. I can't be bothered to flesh one out, but we need somewhere for crazed premonitions and post match reports so here we go.

I'm not feeling confident about this one, what I've seen of the top two (admittedly only highlights) has looked very good and I think we might lose by a couple in a manner similar to Crawley, so I'll say a pessimistic 1-3 again. I look forward to being very wrong.

Looking forward to this one, tough looking game but think we are more than capable. I'm hoping we can get one of the strikers on the score sheet, to keep their confidence up if nothing else. Not sure what the crowd will be, never going to be brillant with 2 games in a week, but hopefully Rotherham will bring a few more than Macc/Cheltenham have managed. Think i'll go for another draw ...... 3-3.

Gunna be a tough game today and really think we need to up the ante for this one!! Not sure how we played against Cheltenham as wasnt there but by all accounts we werent oo bad!!

Just need to avoid playing like we did at Cobblers and 1st half at Daggenham, otherwise were gunna get taught a footballing lesson!!!

4-4-2 or 4-3-3? I, for one, am quite glad to see Morris being given a little rest. I wasn't over-impressed with him at either Dagenham or Northampton, apart from the odd moment. He hasn't got much pace, conceded a lot of possession and failed to get the ball into the box on most occasions. Wonder if Lathrope will stay on for 90 bearing in mind that in the two previously mentioned games, he picked up a yellow pretty much with his first touch as sub! Rotherham were a powerful team at Don Valley last year and no room for passengers today (maybe why there's no Morris) but I'm optimistic and reckon we might do to them what we did to the Shrews last season - but only if Eunan performs. 3-1 to us Howe 2, Atieno.

Would take a draw beforehand. Rotherham I predict will be around the top 3 come the end of the season.

Still, COME ON YOU YELLOWS!!!!

1-0 down within a few minutes twice this week then. Let's hope we get the equaliser quickly, because I can see this becoming a long day...
