Looking forward to visiting GGL again! Sutton were pretty poor in the reverse fixture, and but for some terrible finishing and composure from Massanka we should have seen them off comfortably; then Lafayette (I think?) scored a worldie at the end.
Hopefully a long midweek trip to Barrow has...
Guiseley A - 0-0 Draw. Luke Coddington blinder
Halifax H - Win
Sutton A - Loss
Solihull A - Win
Aldershot H - Draw
Don't want to overly positive.. we should surely be hoping for minimum two wins from Solihull, Guiseley and Halifax. Moors looks the toughest picking up form
Anything from Sutton...
Pros:
- Manny Smith and Shaun Pearson.
- best defence in the league, largely down to Smith and Pearson; this despite using 4 different keepers this season.
- generally tough to break down, superb at grinding out results when in the lead.
Cons:
- Do not score enough goals, 20 scored in 22 games...
Keates' touchline ban doesn't come into effect til later in December right? FAW take with one hand and give with the other by making sure one of the matches is the FA Trophy.
We've been utter tosh the last couple of visits to Aldershot. Would be happy if we were to serve them up with a 0-0...
That is pretty much how we've played all season, shite in midfield and going forward but solid at the back with Manny Smith and Pearson immense. Thought Kelly was wasteful a number of times on the ball, apart from a superb delivery for the free kick.. people keep calling for him to play...
Dunn was pretty dodgy away at Dagenham too. Spilled one fairly tame shot right into danger that was tapped in, but blushes were saved by the offside flag.
I'd love for us to bring Coddington back who hasn't been getting in the Northampton squad; best keeper we've had down here in a number of...
We've not scored 3 in a match yet this season (only the 4th time we've scored 2 in a match); so there is still hope for Orient... presume Davis will have to go if O's manage to concede 3 to us!
It's getting you out of the trouble you were in though? Only 6 points off 2nd..
A difficult argument, we're in a similar situation: in terms of concentrating on defending and being well organised, but have just managed a couple more 1-0 wins. We have scored two goals less than you! You just...
can't help but view Fylde as a decent team despite their league standing, and they did beat us 10 days ago in the FA Cup; albeit we made a few changes to our pretty consistent starting XI.
I *think* Shaun Pearson is banned after a fifth booking last weekend, which if so will make us a rather...
An absolute lesson in how to play against 10 men..
Wind made it a really horrid match to watch, we always had a man free on either flank as Dagenham played pretty narrow when down to 10 men, but we seemed intent on hoofing it down the middle. Kelly was a bit wayward with his passing
Thought...
Watched it on the box
Thought we generally dominated really without creating much, standard. Much more threatening after Mackreth came on and Kelly moved to the middle.
Deserved win.
Surprised with this given the calibre of forwards you already have. When he was with us, he was not that strong and didn't win many headers. He was useful for us though at a time when we were so poor last season, did score a few important goals.
I can't see him being an improvement at all on...
All you need to know is on 7th October you'll have the pleasure of tuning into BT to watch Shaun Pearson and Manny Smith clear away umpteen Eastleigh punts into the box, with us failing to convert any chances and draw 0-0
