I wonder if young Forster-Caskey will be on the bench. Was not in the reserves squad midweek.

I'd like to think the team will be fairly strong today, since something is riding on this game for other teams. If Notts County get a point today, we will probably give the fringe players a chance since they will effectively be safe.

Last game at Withdean and we are going to receive the champions trophy - still the 100 points target to go for - surely we have to pick our strongest team and aim to win? Consecutive home defeats would be such a horrible way to end it all.

Who's the ref?

Is it going to rain?

Imagine all those ponchos held in stock "just in case." What's going to happen to them if it doesn't rain today? Will they give them out as mementoes anyway?

1 - 1 methinks. So are you lot sad to be seeing the back of The Withdean, thought you'd be quite glad in a way?! Surely it's not like when you left The Goldstone (a proper football stadium as they say!!). Was gutted when we left Leeds Rd (looking back it was a bit of a shithole but it was our shithole and i'd do anything to see one more game there) but can't imagine not playing at the Galpharm now

I think only the younger fans will be sad to see the back of it tbh, all the best for today, should be a good game!

Yeah best of luck for next season, think you'll do well tbh. Just need to see Norwich, Leeds and Millwall doing well this year. Bar Norwich who were class last season don't think the other 2 were better than you've been this season. Just hope i'm on here next season looking forward to a game with you lot haha

I can't decide whether I want us to win or not. 1-1 draw on the cards I think.
