Not tomorrow of all days. High energy high tempo pass the ball quickly and lots of people making runs and when we lose the ball put the press on straight away to win it back. Their defence shouldn't get a moments peace. And have a few more attempts on goal… only 8 at Maidenhead half that number at York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had eight attempts and scored three - so all good yes But not good at York though… if we’d had eight attempts who knows we may have scored more than one. The point is that we do not have nearly enough shots in a game … oh for the halcyon days of Dickenson and Tollitt having shots from distance… Now… that Sheron bloke can hit the ball sweetly… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always used to cringe when Os Fane got the ball 30 yards from goal and the crowd shouted shoot you knew the corner flags were in trouble at that point.

GrahamHughes Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 After Franks heroics even the football Gods can’t have us lose this can they!A win would be nice a repeat of celebration Sunday would be fitting for Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'd go with 4-3-3 tomorrow, with the tough call of dropping Sutton for Green. Hudson Hobson Raglan Hogan Kitching Sheron Conlon Hammond Green Garner Fondop We need some energy and pace in the team to get at them from the start, so having Green playing the role that he did against Maidenhead would offer this. I know 3 points is crucial but we need to avoid a turgid performance, which I could see the lineup that we had on Tuesday providing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I think it’ll be Sutton instead of Green and the 5 at the back routine unfortunately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Blue Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 As it is scarf day, are we going to hold them up on the 64th minute and sing Frank's name, like supporters used to do in 70s and 80s. Cringy I know before anyone says it, but who cares, and if done right it would look really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a bit of a practice game on the pitch today and the only change was Lundstram for Sutton with Hammond playing more central in front of Conlon and Sheron. Only saw 5 minutes so they could have changed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 It'll be another tough game. They've conceded one fewer than Chesterfield and I think that broadly reflects the quality of the league this year in that it is lower overall but the gulf between the sides is narrower. I expect they'll turn up and sit back and that makes me nervous, but the crowd and occasion could be a significant, if not decisive, factor. I'd love a top quality performance and some goals but I'd take a (comfortable) 1-0 win and a few extra goals on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 They have just signed Jay Emmanuel Thomas. Solid signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Think it will be the usual five centrehalfs and two holding midfielders making us hard to beat, why would Mellon try something he's not comfortable with and take it to them?, honestly think we need to stop expecting anything else other than gritty, workmanlike performances. It will be hoofed up to Fondop and Garner relentlessly tomorrow. I don't care if we have 30% possession and win with an own goal in the 95th minute, three points is all I want out of tomorrow. It will be same team as Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference between them though, is we compete a lot better now and are far more disciplined. Hard to beat now means hard to beat whereas it used to mean try and nick something and hold on for dear life. I also suspect that when you have 5 promotions playing a certain way- fans are more willing to accept it, because history suggests he’s successful at it. Just reaffirms to me- that winning trumps style every day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a good performance like Barnet at home will see everyone go home satisfied I just don't want to see another Hendon performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
