No mate, couldn't agree more.

Agreed. Thought he looked good when we played them. Not the most mobile, but physical and with a good eye for goal. Scored plenty in a poor side.

Gone straight into their starting X1 tonight.

Have read elsewhere that Callum Morton's off to Northampton Town.

If we do not beat Fylde and Ebbsfleet does he have to go?

In short. No. Good post Dave(forever).

0-0

My guess is he is 1 in a 3-1-4-2. Keating and Whitfield out wide?

Janneh to start today

Hall
Reid
Keating
Whitfield
Lewis

Not been down for a while so it was good to see us at home today. A cracking and positive atmosphere at Plainmoor even when we went a goal behind. I won’t add much to the summaries above as they cover the game well. And a good game it was.

Reid’s work for his second assist and our fourth was top drawer. A delicious pass. His work rate was excellent throughout. So many had good games today. Asa Hall’s leadership was apparent from the off. Nemane looked dangerous, Keating worked tirelessly, Cundy - who I have been quite critical of - had a good day, Lewis looked strong in a new position, Whitfield......... Am going to do a ratings thing......

Covolan 6 Not good for their goal, but shot stopped well when tested. Prefer him to MacDonald.

Cameron 5 He is noticeably out of position at full back but was steady.
Niate 6.5 Commanding at times and blocked well.
Cundy 7 Good day for him.
Lewis 7 I like him. Strong for his age. That’s twice I’ve seen him play well against Woking in yet another different position for him. Did not look out of position.

Whitfield 7.5 In your face and first to everything all day, including Poku’s nut on him. Also plenty of quality. Deserved his goal.
CLE 6.5 Came into it more when they were a man down and part of some good movement after the sending off. Not back to his best yet, but a good 90 minutes under his belt.
Asa Hall 8 Colossus and my MOTM. Pulling the strings, talking others through the game. Captain Marvel. And he is respected by his charges. That’s clear. Looks leaner than I recall. Man mountain today.
Nemane 7 His first touch isn’t great, but he is direct and hard to defend against when playing like today. Offers some protection to his defender as well.

Keating 7.5 Worked very hard and showed some quality. An assist and a well taken goal. Glad he took his chance well. Not hard to see why he is a Popside favourite. Leaves everything out there.
Reid 7.5 I was close to where he worked hard to create his second assist. And what a pass to Keating it was. He wasn’t as good in front of goal as we’ve all seen him, but the other side of his game was strong today. Two assists and a goal. Will be missed. He is now a quality player. Real quality.

A word on Woking. Dirty. Was pleased Poku was sent off. He should have seen red in the game at Woking earlier on in the season but the ref that day had a shocker. A decent performance from all three officials today.

The BBC commentators did say yesterday that Reid was rested rather than injured.

Avoiding injury until January window ????

BBC commentary said he was rested rather than injured today

I reckon Lloyd James will get an 18 month deal at some point soon. Asa will be seen as back up for him or possibly be loaned out. Dickson will go.

Medford-Smith, Bansal-Mcnulty, Opi Edwards and Cundy would also go for me. Although would like to see a centre back added before ‘releasing’ one. As I suspect, would Gary Johnson.

Koszela and Slough should be considered for loaning out.

If we ever do have a fully fit squad is a big ‘if’.

He’s plenty good enough and will ultimately end up playing higher, but perhaps hasn’t reached the heights he might have but for injury and return from injury just yet. Yesterday may have marked him getting back into the groove that saw a League 1 club wanting him on loan back in August. He has bags of talent. We may get lucky and be the beneficiary of an extension of his loan. Certainly hope we are.

Until the beginning of January as things stand, I think.
