Tough conditions for Zach to make his comeback. Probably best coming off the bench.

Start Nestory in Halloran's spot and bring Clough on when he starts to flag would be my choice. But he will probably start George instead

This should be a routine win and a goal difference builder for us, but the extreme heat means that nothing can be assumed. The Jest show flashes of ability, but then usually wilt under sustained pressure. If we can be 2 - 0 up after the first twenty minutes, then we'll be fine, but if they score first and then play a genuine back five (ie. no wingbacks), we'll be in trouble.

Arthur Papas tries very hard with his collection of rejects and has beens and it's hard not to feel a little sorry for him. The Jest is the team that you go to when you can't get a job anywhere else and the thinness of the gameday squad, let alone their bench, shows that. Alex Ferguson once said that he could usually tell how well any EPL team would do before a season when he looked at that team's substitutes, not at the first eleven. The Jest's bench would struggle to make train on squaddies in any other team in the competition. Even Perth have a better list and that is saying something.

So this will either be a comfortable win for us - or a banana skin loss. Everything depends on the first 20 minutes and how well each side handles the heat.

[The Claw]

39.8 degrees 90 minutes before kick off….. will watch from home we have decided.
RA walking out at 20 minutes too, can’t imagine It will be a noisy crowd!

Should win but heat is a factor that could sway things.

[otto62]

I made it to the game. A minor miracle.
The heat means we’ve delayed heading off on holiday until tomorrow.

Hope Carl has the players realising they still need to be at their best to get the win.

Can’t help but want Elsey to play well for them … just on the losing side.

Scrappy.
Ball into the final third missing.
Elsey centimetres away from a card only a free kick.

Much better work from United on the left.

Corner ...
Cleared.

Ah, at the folk's place and there is no Paramount + or the game on free to air.

A bit more penetration into the Jets' final third but lacking precision.
Red Army walk out but the TV cameras did not show it.
