A response will be expected after the desperate display in Saturday’s 1-0 loss at Cheltenham Town.

Any hopes of making the play-offs with six games remaining appear virtually dead in the water.

But supporters will be expecting much, much better from their players with decisions to be made on futures ahead of next season.

We’ll be building up to tonight’s game with all the talking points before team news drops at 6.45pm.

Then it’s more reaction before live blow-by-blow commentary from PO4 at 7.45pm.

Putting things right

This performance has certainly built bridges after Cheltenham on Saturday. Not too many times have beaten top sides this season, either, and this has been emphatic.
