Woeville?

So, where does the team go from last night?
This game has all the makings of the one v Halifax - two out of form teams, with seemingly little to offer.
If the rumours have any truth in them and Hak has lost the dressing room, then heaven help us. A loss on Saturday and the inevitable stuffing from Solihull the following week and he will be gone. However, if that is the case, then those players need to have a long hard look at themselves, because Hak is the man who guided most of them to glory last season.
Anyway, who is not playing who might come in on Saturday? Is JB-W ready yet? If so move Galvin to left midfield. I'd also put Ellul at right back instead of Hoyte.
Alabi cannot play at this level and should be dropped. Start with Deacon up front and use Pattisson as right wing. Might even start with Odusanya instead of Corne, who is doing nothing at the moment and got clattered a couple of times last night, so may not be fit anyway.
However, it all smacks of moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic, because overall, we just can't compete in this league at the moment.

God knows what happens against Yeovil. We DESPERATELY need a win and so do they.

4 points from their last 5 games. Can't score it seems, but look somewhat sturdy at the back. This one could be an absolute snoozer or an 8 goal thriller. We wait and see.

I think it's all down to who scores first, if it's us then we can get a result but if it's them then arrivaderci 3 points. We need to make sure it's a battle to the finish, try for for 90 minutes plus and not just go through the motions like we have been doing. I would tell the players to forget about the past few weeks,the season starts NOW ,prove to me you deserve that shirt or I'll give it someone else on a permanent basis. We desperately need a result from this game,I don't care if its pretty or downright drab as long as we get a result and one win might just raise our confidence level enough to give Solihull a game next week.We lose on Saturday then we are down and out with no hope for the rest of this season and we should ship the players out if possible and revert to part time to stop the club hemorrhaging money.

Two problems with that:

1) Yeovil are in exactly the same situation. They are not going to roll over. And, although they don't score as many goals (6 to our 9), they've conceded exactly half as many as us.

2) When was the last time we scored first.

1) I think we need to be scrapping now like it is the final run in. every point counts. Bodies on the line etc!!

2) Boreham Wood away on the Tele

Back page of the KM says it is all about 'win ugly' on Saturday

Yeovil fire manager Chris Hargreaves...

So using financial terminology beware of the dead cat bounce.

Checking out the YouTube highlights of their Aldershot game, I'm not surprised. Shots were all over them and they created nothing in the entire game. Only desperate defending and poor finishing prevented a cricket score.
Will new management bring an instant response?
Hope not, but given we are VERY unlikely to get anything from the Solihull game, suspect that for Hak and Terry, this is a must win game.

[jdl]

A mark of how bad this season is - a (relatively) calm poster like Mr 6s is calling (quite rightly) a game 'must win' just 15 games into the season.

And he's absolutely spot on. Win on Saturday and we are in with a chance of survival. Lose, and we are pretty much fucked.

Anybody really looking forward to Fleet and Dorking lording it in the NL next year, while we play Concord and Hampton and Richmond?

So, Sanford in goal and Mersin on the bench - which says it all really.
No Corne, anywhere, so Odusanya into midfield, while Pattisson starts. Hady Ghandour on the bench.
Could 100 Yeovil fans here too.

Corne needs a rest he has not been firing on all cylinders. Ghandour is not on the bench.

Corne needs a rest; he has not been firing on all cylinders. Plus he has a knock Ghandour is not on the bench.

Not what Twitter says...
At least seven Glovers are bigger than Ellul and headers outnumber kicks four to one this far. Fear it could be a long afternoon.

[61666]

Even longer now, as they score with a header from outside the box. New keeper anyone???
