Given our terrible form, we start second favourites here.
But even bad teams win occasionally. Could this be the one?
No Lapslie or Hall, but could we see Dawson and Jarvis start? Much as we desperately need them both on the pitch, I hope we do not overuse them and crock them again!
Streaming available. I would be stupid to waste my Tuesday evening watching this. Unfortunately, stupid is my middle name.

Lapslie’s ban starts Saturday. He starts as do Dawson and Jarvis.
If we can’t win with all the big guns we never will.
Nelson starts too and Stobbs on bench.
Ash and Ofori-Acheampong drop to the bench and Archer drops out of the 16.
Just one striker, probably with WJD tucked in behind him.
Don’t know what shape will be. Does not appear to be much width.
Stream on! come on you Yellows!

Scrappy but fairly even game.
Sort of 3-5-1-1 with Moxey the oldest wing back in town and Lapslie given the free role behind Jarvis.
All to play for in the second half.

Battled hard and scraped a rare point against another poor side. Some awful basic errors at times , little shape or threat in a scrappy game that could have gone either way. Moxey, well past his best pushed forward shows just how desperate Johnson is. End to end hoofball and head tennis very little entertainment value.

When you are pleasantly surprised at getting a point against a mid-table National League South team, it shows how low we have sunk.
With a packed centre midfield we were less easy to play through than usual.
We still look like a collection of players desperately in need of some clear organisation from a manager with a plan.
A point, a clean sheet and Dawson/Jarvis/Stobbs edging towards fitness will probably cause he who believes Johnson is the best man for the job to keep believing he is right.
The gap to seventh is now seven points, plus we have played an extra game and have a worse goal difference.
In the race to stay in the top half, we keep our noses ahead of Farnborough (although they have a game in hand) and actually edge past Ryan Hanson’s Tonbridge up to 11th.
One win in twelve now.

I've just watched the highlights and my only comment is that the stand behind one goal (not the big newer one) reminds me of when I had a number 9 Meccano set with some extra parts. They clearly had some left over as well when they built it and went round the corner to build an annexe. Nice touch.
