Well Friday night and no thread.

Here we are. Discuss.

See you all at Plainmoor tomorrow for a well needed victory.

TTID.
COYY.

This is so hard to predict. Guiesley are a bogey team(amongst the many others) against us. They are bang in form. But, we simply have to win this game. Sorry to say but 2-0 guiesley.

Exspecting an utter shite performance and a 5 nil hammering with 2 sending offs.

Anything better than this will be a bonus

Fingers crossed then kevgull...... :}

We've two choices if we don't want to lose we play Lathrop and if we want to win we play Chaney. Keating should start instead of Reid.
I would stick to 4-2-3-1 which they stayed with last week with Keating Chaney and Sparkes the three forward midfield players. Williams is the only choice up front and links well with Chaney but Nicho took Williams off last week so it did not happen. Young and Verma the deeper midfield players.
If we play 4-4-2 it's like throwing a dice anything can happen. As I always say I trust my judgement.

After last weeks appalling 'performance', I'm hoping Nico will ring some changes. Definitely Keating to start and I would like to see Gallifuoco brought in place of Lathrope. I used to rate Lathrope highly but he's nowhere near the player he once was which is a shame. And some game time, more than the last five minutes, for Critchlow. It's about time we beat Guiseley so I will go for a 2 -1 victory. If we're still in the bottom four at 5 pm tomorrow night, I shall be worried. Really worried for the club's future.

I'm not shouting for it but any other club would have sacked the manager months ago just to get a reaction from the players as we are getting the same excuses every week and it's getting easier to lose.

There's no easy game and formations can hinder as much as help. All I ask is the lads come out on Sat with a bit of self-belief, play to their footballing instincts and show no respect to the opposition and play to our home advantage. No disrespect but its only Guiesley, not Chelsea! As it appears few are expecting us to win we have nothing to lose but throw caution to the wind and press right from the start with a attacking 4-2-4 formation e.g.

Moore
Hodgkiss
McGinty
Gallifuoco
Verma

Chaney
Young

Sparks
Williams/Reid
Keating,
Critchlow

Arcadia - In normal circumstances, I would agree. But the club is such a shambolic mess off the field, is it any surprise that it is failing on the field ? Under Nico for the final third of last season, our form was second only to promoted Cheltenham. Does Nico suddenly become a poor manager? I wonder how many of the fans who are now calling for him to go were amongst those chanting "Nich-ol-son, Nich-ol-son" at the end of last season and saying he should be given the freedom of Torbay? I don't know. A new manager might make a difference but I really hope Nico can turn things around.

As for young Sam Chaney, I like him as a player because he shows some urgency and moves the ball quickly to feet. There are aspects of his game that he has to work on but I think he is a good prospect. I think if the team was better placed, he would have been given more game time but Nico seems to like to play it safe by sticking with experience which in my view is not always the best tactic. It is a pity that Sam is at Plainmoor and not part of the Exeter youth set up. I'm sure he would be an even better prospect with the coaching he would have received there. He reminds me of another young midfield player who those of us who saw him play, thought he had something about him. He was released by the club and has gone on to play in several successful sides and is now in the Dagenham & Redbridge side challenging for a play off place. Name? Luke Guttridge.

We have been averaging a point a game all season so that's my prediction.

Actually, I hope my home form continues.....as since moving ooop north I've yet to see them lose on the hallowed Plainmoor turf....

Even if one of those was a dire 0-0 midweeker v Accrington!!!!! =D
