Hakki

[Yousef]

I noticed he played many games last season and now returns after a long time I guess. Was he injuerd or loaned? Also I want to ask. Is he Asian? just wondering cos I only saw his pic. Is he a midfielder? Cheers <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />

Loaned to Her Majesty's Custodial XI!! Veli spent a year away for getting involved in some trouble at Millwall and when he came out he joined Steve Browne at Boreham Wood. Fortunately he realised that BWFC are a crap team with no fans and came home to Slough.

 

Skillful midfielder who was the Supporters Player of the Season the year before he 'left'. When I started watching the Rebels he stood out as the best player by a mile. He got injured at Tonbrige earlier this year and has struggled to regain full fitness. I think that just about covers everything. Oh yes, I believe his parents are Turkish Cypriot.

And he's back... that will strengthen the team <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

looked fiarly feisty against boro but not quite up to his usual tenacious self just yet... perhaps hes still wary of his injury, still its undeniably great news that he's back amongst the rebels

Hakki- what a player,even if he is injured he is still better than Metcalfe!

[GarySTFC]

Going forward yes, definitely, but finding the right balance between attack and defence in the side is imperative. Having Wilkinson sat behind Hakki and a more conservative Harris would be the ideal three, but Metcalfe can play in that role as well and often breaks things up and plays the simple ball. Either way, we've got options there.

[Martin]

The Slough midfield gets overrun without Wilko and/or Mets. We are not the footballing version of the Harlem Globetrotters and need players in the team to do the ugly things. Few players do the ugly things better at this level than Wilko or Metcalfe. We certainly need one or t'other and I can see the logic at playing both in certain matches.

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

Personally id rather have Hakki defending than Mets, but i think we will see Spencer dropped tonight in favour of Hakki.... (I wouldnt do it- i'd drop Mets- but I'm pretty sure Eddie will!)

[Martin]

Agreed that is what Eddie will do - if Hakki is truly fit. If not as per Saturday.

[GarySTFC]

I would think he'd put Haddow back in place of Steer, and would imagine Spencer would keep his place if he kept that mean streak. Having said that, Billericay should be a more difficult challenge than Harrow, but us likewise to them than Dover.

[Matt]

Judging by the Harrow game, I think Spencer's finding the defensive side of his game very very rapidly to ensure he stays in the team! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Martin]

Ooops had forgotten that Al was only suspended for the one game. One change to the team Al for Steer.

I Think poor Veli,still has a long way to go to get back to his previous form...

 

The injury still looks to be effecting him !

 

Good luck Velli....

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

I think he looked good when he came on personally, not back to his old self, but id start him against WEFC my team.... 4-4-2
