Team For Aldershot

Quoted from grimsby pete

If a player gets dropped after playing in the last two games that produced a 6-1 and 7-0 wins,

He will be a bit pi ssed off,

Says a player who once got dropped after scoring 4 goals in the previous match.

Agree with you Pete, I'm not advocating any need now at all !
Merely responding to perceived criticism of Hurst last season which I believe was perhaps wrongly misplaced and unfair.

Quoted from Maringer

One caveat is that I have to admit I'm not convinced by Nsiala at full-back as yet as his positioning hasn't great when he's been playing there. His pace has generally been enough to get him out of trouble when he has made mistakes (and his height is useful in defending set pieces), but I do wonder if we'd be better of playing a proper full-back on the right? Bignot is capable enough at this level and can offer a bit more going forward.

I do think we'll probably start with the same team on Saturday though.

Then again Pete lol....
Only just seen this and think it's an excellent observation and possibly a very fair consideration.
Ironically, actually said the same (elsewhere) about his positioning ability v Dover.

So not sure what to make of it all.  
Will Boycey be here ? Guess so.
But for how long ? Is he part of our plans ?
Do we need him or would money be better spent elsewhere ? (short of LB/CB cover leaning towards the latter tbh...)

Assuming he is and will be, it's a tough decision really.
tbh I can't see changes either and would most probably keep it the same too.
But maybe that's just through fear and lack of info, not sure.

And when IS he gonna play Bignot or switch Magnay to RB again ? (being positively minded assuming we'll just keep winning...)
Do we just worry about that later ?
Perhaps so !
But ideally at SOME point other players like Disley, Hannah, Arnold, Makreth should be chipping in too.
Same way players can get hacked off being dropped, longer they're not involved arguably weaker the whole squad is.
That said, the subs bench also looks 1 (not ideal) option for more mins under their belt too.
Points on the board always better than idealism but equally you might not get them if you're make the wrong choices.

I just hope worrying about the reaction of fans isn't a factor on Hurst's mind.
But would hardly blame him if it was, it is for me too !  
Maybe he's just got to do what he feels is right for the team.
Perhaps there's always gonna be some criticism whatever he does.  
Who'd be a manager eh ?...

Zzzzzzzz........

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Zzzzzzzz........

It's quite something, isn't it ?

I don't think there will be any defensive changes until Aswad is back. Also note Boyce loan extended for another month

Can't wait for Saturday! First game of season feeling

Quoted from oldun

Also note Boyce loan extended for another month

Thanks oldun.

Here's a shorter summary then...

Rightly or wrongly we may be playing a playing a player predominantly a CB at RB.
Whether he's better than Bignot etc at RB is up for debate.

Feel the same !  

Just to confirm from elsewhere I'm going same team but Bignot in for Nsiala.
