Littlemoor Lad Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Another tough test of our play off credentials here after they held Barnet to a draw Can we get the better of McCallum and co or will they completely put us in the Shade? A draw of any kind and a win in the return fixture would be seen as a very good outcome Quote
yarddog73 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) Need a win here after New Years Day, draw wouldn't be a disaster but we need to get back on the bike, what I'm dreading is a half hearted, error strewn performance we saw at Hartlepool, that would be a worry. Team wise you'd struggle to make an argument for Gardner to start and I presume Mellon will have to swallow his pride and include Reid, Sutton and Hobson may also come back in to the fold and push for starting spots given Eastleighs main danger *McCallum probably needs special attention.

the_mighty_bosh Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) Team-wise I'd go with: Hudson Caprice Ogle Raglan Monthe Kitching Clucas Lundstram Kay Taylor Norwood I'm assuming that Charsley and Hammond are injured if they didn't even make the squad on NYD. A little harsh on Sutton as he's done well when he came in, but I'd trust that back 3 just a little more. Not sure on Kay or Khan, but it's time for them to step up and be counted and I'd prefer them starting ahead of Gardner. I'd start Taylor because there's no point bringing him in for one month and not starting him, I also prefer Fondop making a bigger impact from the bench if at all possible. Edited January 6 by the_mighty_bosh Forgot Hammond 1 Quote

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Just as tough a match as Hartlepool for me. Performance levels all round raised, we should be OK but they're a tough nut at home in recent months. Probably a draw. Quote

Ritchierich Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Well, this team was good enough to win there 2-1 (but well deserved tbh) last February! (bizarrely, McGahey was MOM playing in midfield so look out for something random tomorrow!!) I'm pretty sure we will have a stronger starting 11 and more available off the bench so no excuses. 100% effort, no sulking from the likes of Nors or Mellon and we will win. Hudson, Kitching, Hogan, Hobson, Fondop, Sheron, Green, Raglan, McGahey, Garner, Hammond. 1 Quote

Hudson, Kitching, Hogan, Hobson, Fondop, Sheron, Green, Raglan, McGahey, Garner, Hammond. The last two times we played at their place, they've been solid and unremarkable but have a forward or two (Whitehall then Boldewijn) who can produce something out of nothing or pop up with a goal (McCallum). We'll likely need 2 goals to win tomorrow as a result, luckily despite being short a few players I think we've got enough quality to do that. Edited January 6 by the_mighty_bosh 1 Quote

jsslatic Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Hopping ahead a few days, but the current forecast is for it to drop below freezing on Tuesday and then not get back above it until Saturday afternoon. Quote

Hemel latic Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Feels like a big game after the Hartlepool defeat and the Stones saga. Hope all eyes are fixed on the prize and there's a reaction to the poor performance last time out. Assume we'll see see Fondop replace Stones, will be interesting to see if MM persists with Gardner. If another player comes in it probably necessitates a change in formation. Quote
JumpingJoshLundstram Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Need an us against the world mentality, players & the fans. If we can dig out a result tonight it'd be a huge bonus! Quote
nzlatic Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Got my ticket yesterday, first match I've been to in ages. Hopefully we'll see something like last season where we played some really good football. Quote
Scapegoat Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Is it pay on the day tonight? Have ended up in Reading overnight with work and if timings align I might be able to make a last minute decision to go. 1 Quote

oafc1955 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 These have only lost one of their last 10 but won only two. We should be going all out for the win! Quote
League one forever Posted Tuesday at 05:52 PM Posted Tuesday at 05:52 PM I’m a bit nervous about tonight, I think we could have a little sticky spell.* Before we pick up again. *Reserve the right to go into slight panic mode after one defeat. 1 Quote

In mitigation, I have an awful tendency to not marry what I’m saying in my head to what I type. So it makes it easier to read before I post, and ensures I’m not talking nonsense. . . Quote
