Replace Spencer with Bracek and I'd agree. Would be harsh on Brown in a way, if judged on last week's performance solely he'd be fine but over the last few weeks, Saxton deserves his chance.

That looks quite a formidable team. It's a side that looks well balanced and one that could cope with any side in this league. Let's hope that is the case on Sunday. Up The Fax!

That looks a pretty good squad to me. Be interesting to see how Craven plays for us on Sunday. Sounds quite an exciting player.

Certainly doesn't look like a "bare bones" team to me (as some have mentioned).

That looks good to me better than we have had for a long time!

Just looking on the Eagles forum, their 19 looks pretty strong to me.
Our pack looks a match for theirs though, possibly we might have a
slight edge. The Eagles halves and backline however is a different matter.

The Eagles backline has the ability to punch holes, break from deep,
finish opportunities and make us look silly by running through, over
or round us, and we know Aston sides are very good from close range.
They usually kick well too.

Danny Craven could be the key for us, if his kicking from hand is good,
and he can help control things, free'ing up Scott and Ben to attack the
line, we just might have a sniff.

A win here could really kick start something, galvanising the team and
breeding confidence in each other. If we give them silly penalties or
miss too many tackles, it could prove a very painful evening.
Realistically I think London, us and Fev are battling it out for 4th,
Sheffield look a solid safe bet for 3rd. A win here would be a huge
fillip for Fax.

Head says : Eagles 40 Fax 12

Lets hope I'm wrong in the head, in a good way
