It's 8c, and (whisper it quietly!) the sun is out, and out of the breeze it feels fairly warm. The wind is SSW and blowing around 1-2. There's 60% blue sky at the moment, but there have been moments in the last two hours when there's been 100% grey cloud cover. We had 3mm of rain in the 24 hours to 10:00. The barometric pressure is steady, but not rising, which suggests that during the day there will be some rainfall. My worry is for the pitch, when it will have been rolled flat in the area that's cut up in front of the IP stand, and doesn't get any real sunshine, so remains wet. I guess that the ground staff will hope there's no significant rain during the day. I'll up date around 17:00 unless we have a sudden burst of totally inclement weather in the meantime.

A tough test against a real promotion contender. We'll know better what our own chances of success are by tonight, the conditions will play a big part too. It's the time for the senior players to carry us through and as such I'm going for a narrow win, Big Nige and Jake vying for MoM and the winner from Nicky Law. COYR !!

No surface water on the pitch unlike last Saturday a few hours before KO.

That looks like it's going to be a quagmire at the end of the game! Although if Crewe are more of a passing team than ourselves, then actually it's advantage us.

Whatever happens really hope City have intensity from the first whistle and not just the last 10 minutes!

Yes at them from the kick off to the final whistle. If we wait until the last 20 minutes (like Saturday) we could be too far behind...……..

Good point. Keeping focused and concentration levels up for the entire 90+ minutes is vital too, no daft early or late goals conceded this evening please chaps.
