    Match Day National League Fixures Saturday Sept 25

    Same old ,same old at the Rec, have some sympathy for the new manager, he has little to work with, and no alternative players. The squad is simply not good enough, one or two decent is all. Hope MM was aware of what he was taking on, he’ll need some good loan connections, and a lot of good...

    Match Day National League Fixures Saturday Sept 25

    Shots home to Halifax. Impossible to predict this one, what with the “new management bounce” . Not many player variations available, tactical changes not easy as we have no wide men to speak of. Shots have a few decent players, but defensively fragile whoever plays. Loanee striker Corie Andrews...

    National League Fixtures- 18th September

    Would agree with that, very similar to Southend on Tuesday, letting our midfield knock it about. Must admit was surprised, expected ‘Stones back room staff to have sussed us out . Without Corie Andrews we would really struggle. Pleased with a point, I have a feeling we’ll be grateful for each...

    What are you doing down here, then? Punching below your weight, maybe?

    National League Fixtures- 18th September

    Shots at Wealdstone. Difficult to call this one, we had a huge shock on Tuesday when we won at Roots Hall. There’s hope here of a turnaround in results, but I’m not optimistic, as Southend’s midfield was pathetic , and allowed us to play and knock the ball around. Any decent scrappers will...

    Southend. Generally a team of old men ,liable to be run ragged by some of the “gym bunny” teams in this league. Uncreative midfield, lumped balls food and drink to the giant centre-backs in most sides. Good striker and goalkeeper. Only 3/10 on last night’s showing.

    Yeeeehaa! We actually won a match. Southend posters said their midfield was shit, and that’s where they lost it. We can play if you let us, thanks for the shot in the arm, and a massive boost for our youthful team.

    Cock-ups apart, Southend are playing to Aldershot’s strengths( such as they are), giving them room to play . Our defence will collapse if another goal. Not dull…

    Oh yeah, Blimey, he even turned out for us for half a season. Fell out with everyone, including the groundsman. Still playing ,last heard of at Skelmersdale, his 21st. different club. What a man…

    National League Fixtures - 14th September

    Well, it would be a big surprise to us all here. We have a faint hope, hearing that your midfield was not the best, we get outmuscled easily. Unless he has a plan B (unlikely) , Searle will play 5-3-2 , with, unbelievably, no width. We have no wingers in the club. Relying on the full -backs to...

    Yep, unless there’s a ruling from Conference Management,(some) teams will use Covid when there’s injuries to vital players. Believe it.

    National League Fixtures - 14th September

    Yep, you may well have something there, with a bit of space offered, Shots do knock it about quite well. Cramp ‘em up and get a bit physical and they’re sunk. The game at Meadow Lane was the only time we have looked half-decent.
