Very good point, but I think with a fit LB and RB we’d only be talking about Ellis walking into the team given his experience. A back 4 of Martin Moxey Ellis and Crowe would be good enough to stick at IMO. Trouble is, it’ll never be a 4!

That’s the problem we have no plan, actually that’s incorrect we have a plan to not lose but that never goes to plan.

Spot on. We were dreadful in the mid 80’s and the sun 1,000 crowds proved it.

This is Gary’s team, even in the play off final season we had players on loan that made are team top of the league, until the Christmas or just after when a few went back to there parent clubs and left us once more with a Gary’s team. And it’s down hill from there.

Most important game of the season so far.
We simply must start picking up some wins or there will be the proverbial mountain to climb.
At least four points from this and Dorking is a minimum if we're to start turning the season round.

Without doubt the biggest game of the season, time for all to step up. Hope we die for the 3 points, we need to thats for sure.
Treat it as a 6 pointer, lets get back to winning at Plainmoor. Looking forward to supporting and encouraging the boys tonight.
As I say it is time for all to step up.

Spot on. I see Aldershot are getting backed heavily in the betting markets today and as expected are strong favourites.

Whilst I’m not confident we need 3 points tonight and have to start closing the gap on the clubs above us. the club have clearly backed GJ with the new signings in the last week. There can be no more excuses about injuries, suspensions or referee decisions.

Gary has at least got some choice tonight but some very careful decisions to make.

First of all we have 7 Loan Players and only 5 can be named in the squad. Ellis, Ness, Wearne, De Silva and Goodwin look most likely so no place for Smith? Okoli is injured I believe.

Will Crowe be available or still injured? I am assuming Asa Hall will not be fit but his scan may be OK we do not know.

So midfield 5 Wearne, Donnellan, McGavin, Lapslie and De Silva?

Will Gary finally go 4 4 2? I think tonight will be the most important team selection decisions of the season.COYY

I just hope he remembers how many loan players he can have in the match day squad !!!

Doubt we’ll see Okoli so that’ll take it down to 6. If Crowe is fit it may be Ness who misses out, but it depends whether he plays a back 4?
