After getting through 90 minutes in the reserves this week, Chris Cohen is set to be included in the squad to face Port Vale at the weekend. He played pretty much on the left of midfield (so watch out, Mr Commons!), and apparently still felt he was going strong after the game had finished – so fitness seems to be all it should be!
This is good news, undoubtedly - and, depending on whether he starts on the bench or on the pitch, could open up a few options for us in midfield. If he started then he could play on the left, or in the middle – which gives us a whole raft of opportunities to adjust the line up. Personally I would be tempted to play him centrally, dropping Perch to right back with Chambers moving central, and Wes onto the bench – or just Perch straight to the bench.
Despite my random speculation, I think it more likely that we’ll see a relatively familiar line up at Vale Park, with Cohen featuring amongst the substitutes. It’s a welcome development that Smoulds is getting closer to having a full squad to select from, which will hopefully pay dividends in terms of performance and results, because there are significant signs of unrest amongst the fanbase.

I’m keeping an O-pun mind on your entry titles, nffc!
I agree, though, he’s more likely to be a sub. If it makes Commons shift a bit quicker and lose a stone or so, then it’s got to be a good thing!
Hands up, it was a piss poor pun
Does anyone know how long Davies is before a return?
