Pre-Match Thread Aldershot Town v Southend United, Tuesday 25th January, 1945ko, NL

[Whispering Bob]

Maybe the fact that we've had an extra day's rest between games will prove the difference?

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Opinions only seem divided so far on who plays at RB (Demi or Davies) and who plays in Central Midfield (Atko or Husin) - we're pretty much of one mind on the other 9 starters.

For my money, it's Demi and Atko with the other two on the bench coming on if we need to chase the game as they're more attacking minded.

Same for me. Demi was my mom v Yeovil and whilst I’m liking the look of Davies not sure he is 100% match fit yet but brilliant impact sub if things are not going our way.

 

[LennySUFC]

I'd personally go unchanged, with Demi coming back on the bench. Some people might say bring Davies on if we are chasing the game, which is glass half empty.

Why not bring Demi on when we're 3-0 up, having witnessed Davies whip 3 pearlers onto Cardwell's head and help us see out the game?

This for sure, id also play Husin ahead of Will. Nothing against Will but we have options available and with three games in a week coming up surely we are able to rotate with better quality in the squad

At 1-1–almost all of the 2nd half on Friday-we had to keep reminding ourselves that a draw would not HAVE been the disaster that a defeat would HAVE been,so there was much brick-sh...ing when Atkinson kept giving the ball away,even sideways and backwards.
Husin must start.
Davies looked good,he’ll be a good replacement for Demi eventually. Can’t see Howard making it.

Do we know that Husin has the engine and defensive qualities to play in a midfield two of the sort we've been using recently?

Some say his best position is CDM ... so he might do

B*llox to his defensive qualities, let's get him as high up the pitch as possible! I'd start him and Davies and attack from the off....MM won't know what's hit him.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

I know we it with every game but this is a must win game.

With neither Altrincham or Barnet playing we will move up to 15th with a win

 

[1966 and all that]

3 things to look out for on Tuesday,

1.) Floodlight Failure should we be ahead
2.) Their keeper timewasting
3.) Moseley's Pre Match Interview

From their forum “Big game under the lights tomorrow…unless we’re 2 - 0 down with 20 minutes to play.” ?

"It’s nice playing bigger clubs like Southend etc compared to these diddy clubs like Eastleigh and wood but I safely predict there won’t be 7000 at the rec tonight"

 

[Moley]

In reality it will be 343 again and probably unchanged however the new and returning players offer some questions.

One post suggested moving to 532 which allows husin to start but means dropping one if the strikers - probably Dalby?

Does bridge come back in to lwb or perhaps move into a similar amc role to husin?

Or do we keep the 3 upfront and go 4 at the back to accommodate an attacking midfielders a 433. I'd love us to do this personally

Arnold
Davies kasper hobson Ralph
Neal Atkinson
Husin
Dennis Dalby cardwell

Subs
Bridge (or walsh) demi clifford kensdale ferguson

433 just wouldn’t work mate. We’d have no width going forward and would get killed. The reason for the 343 is because we have quality wing backs in Clifford & Davies/JD to fit the system, and the front 3 staying forward is so dangerous attacking wise and defending from the front has been great.

The left and right sided centre half’s (Ralph & Hobson) are also encouraged to overlap too, hence Hobson’s assist on Friday night.

343 is now a must and it won’t change, Maher has it spot on and the whole squad have an understanding of it. Can’t wait for tonight, expecting another exciting performance.

Going to be a very tough game tonight. I have read the 'Big Preview' article on the Blues site and noticed this. If this is how good Aldershot are we may struggle.

Towards the end of 2021, the Shots enjoyed a great spell of form which saw them win six out of five matches. ???

Trying to find out if Dennis is O.K. to play tonight. A player stepped on his ankle on Friday. The cramp bit isn't a worry.
