Can’t envisage too many changes from Town today. The main one I’d imagine could be Aaron Cosgrave coming back in for Andrew Oluwabori if he’s fit enough to start. Halifax have missed a natural number nine of late. That would also allow Milli Alli to move back into two of the number ten roles, his more natural position. Again a toss up between Hunter or Evans in the middle, but other than that it’ll be same agin I’d have thought.
Thoughts
Town might have ridden their luck at Woking on Tuesday night, but they came out of it with some long-overdue momentum and something to build on. That has to happen today against an Ebbsfleet side in mixed form - plus there’s last season’s FA Cup defeat here to avenge. Town didn’t play brilliantly in midweek but won through spirit and attitude. Would like to see a better, more controlled performance today.
