Match Day Midweek games 8/8/17

[Silver Stone]

Think Gravesend will be too good for us this time. Good memories of our last visit though

In full:
Aldershot v Torquay
Barrow v Halifax
Boreham Wood v Dagenham
Chester v Fylde
Dover v Bromley
Eastleigh v Sutton
Gravesend v Maidstone
Gateshead v Guiseley
Orient v Solihull
Macclesfield v Hartlepool
Maidenhead v Wrexham
Tranmere v Woking

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

Almost completely new squad, will we still be absolutely pants at home? Expect Askey will play the same team as Saturday as that's what he does; would like to see us more attacking though.

 

[Lance Stoe]

I fancy Sutton to win at Eastleigh.

 

[Sparrow]

Tranmere are going to PULVERISE us.

 

[Boz]

Tranmere are going to PULVERISE us.

I'd be surprised at that. Micky's reluctance to play Cook means he might as well go to Wrecsam. Expecting a close game, which we might edge.

 

[Mark kavanagh]

Wrexham are naming a new striker tomo, it really wouldnt suprise me after saturday

 

[The Terminator]

It will be interesting to see how our team react in our first home game at this level. A largish crowd of 4k+ is expected, can't see Solihull bringing more than 30 though, so it will be culture shock to quite a number of our fans I think.

Will also be interesting to see how Solihull fair considering they didn't play Saturday and how they cope with our large pitch. Expecting a physical game.

On the playing front, I'd expect Craig Clay to start ahead of Alex Lawless and maybe Josh Koroma ahead of Jobi McAnuff.

 

[Sparrow]

A largish crowd of 4k+ is expected

Is that it? Even with the 27,000 season ticket sales?

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Midweek mate. In London we all work 7am-9pm. Have to pay the rent somehow.

Agree Clay in for Lawless. I'd expect McAnuff to start over Koroma - at least Clay in would be the only change I'd make having finally watched Sutton back. Incidentally I will be there for once. With all due respect, Solihull are a team we should be beating. Think it'll be a slog but we'll settle and go on to win comfortably.

Edit: Actually I lie. I'd play Boco over Mooney also.

 

[Sparrow]

I'd be surprised at that. Micky's reluctance to play Cook means he might as well go to Wrecsam. Expecting a close game, which we might edge.

Tranmere better be ready for our PRESSING GAME.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Well we've already had our pre season enthusiasm drained from us after Saturday's showing, was feeling confident about our chances, we definitely took a hit, he has to play two up front, Cassidy needs to play alongside Amond who looks like a headless chicken on his own, hopefully Blair Adams is fit so we can chase Liam Donnelly well away from the starting lineup.

Let's just start by scoring a goal and see were we go from there

 

[Luke Imp]

Fed up with reffing Woking out of games, the league have decided to make them travel the furthest in this round of fixtures on a Tuesday night.

 

[The Terminator]

Is that it? Even with the 27,000 season ticket sales?

Too many at home still washing their hair mate

It will also be great to be able get and read a full home programme again, after the previous c*** who owned the club refused to pay the bills for our final 5 home games last season, when all be got was a fold out of adverts and a team sheet for £1.

Let the good times roll.

 

[JaredSUFC]

I fancy Sutton to win at Eastleigh.

Would be our first win at Eastleigh's plastic hell in a decade. Fortunately location means getting there will be impossible for me tomorrow. I'd be happy with a point tomorrow

 

[Joe.]

Whilst we should have too much for the Stones, I think it'll be close. Possibly start with a similar, if not the same, line-up as we started with at Guiseley. Darren McQueen to score again is the only prediction I'm making.

 

[DontBringBertie]

Seems strange there's a lot of close ish teams playing each other but Maidenhead v Wrexham and Tranmere v Woking - surely they could have switched the two round so we played Maidenhead?

 

[MTFC_07]

I can see Hartlepool being really up for this having lost their first game. If we play like we did at home for most of last season, we'll almost certainly lose, but I hope we can get something out of the game.

 

[The Terminator]

Oh, I forgot to mention, our home record last season was:

W4 D1 L18

 

[Woodworm]

So we're Wrexham awful or Macclesfield really good?

A lot of close games over the weekend. Early days but lined up to be a great season.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Oh, I forgot to mention, our home record last season was:

W4 D1 L18

But, one of those wins was my favourite performance under he who must not be named.

There's a similar thing on that Saturday just two days before Christmas. We go to Fylde, Tranmere go to Sutton and I believe Gateshead go to Torquay. Granted it's a Saturday, but two days before Christmas? Surely that could have been worked out a little bit better...

 

[Back in the DHSS]

I'd be surprised at that. Micky's reluctance to play Cook means he might as well go to Wrecsam. Expecting a close game, which we might edge.

Won't be suprised if Mangan starts with Cook benched again. Woking always give a good account of themselves against us, so i'm too expecting a close game.

 

[Soup Ladle]

I can see Hartlepool being really up for this having lost their first game. If we play like we did at home for most of last season, we'll almost certainly lose, but I hope we can get something out of the game.

I have a really bad feeling about tonight. I think you'll win comfortably.

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

So we're Wrexham awful or Macclesfield really good?

Neither; we nicked a goal a defended adequately. I expect we'll probably both improve as our new squads "gel".

 

[Sparrow]

Fed up with reffing Woking out of games, the league have decided to make them travel the furthest in this round of fixtures on a Tuesday night.

And we have Barrow away on Saturday. It will be interesting to see whether the National League decide to ref out Tranmere or us tonight.

 

[1884 Belmont]

And we have Barrow away on Saturday. It will be interesting to see whether the National League decide to ref out Tranmere or us tonight.

8 - 8 draw. As in, 8 players left on the pitch for both sides.

 

[Dean]

Richard Orlu, Inih Effiong, Anthony Limbrick and Sparrow your boys will take one hell of a beating*

*not really.

 

[LeWhites]

Dover 3-2 Bromley. Sho Silva to score a last minute winner off the bench.

 

[NolansOrient]

Are you complaining about plastic pitches??

 

[Silver Stone]

Plastic clubs I'd say.
