What do we want to see from the Ashford game

[michael]

Unfortunately won't be there(hopefuly get some god post match postings for us exiles)

 

I think would like to see the following in order of preference:

 

No injuries

 

No stupid sending offs

 

Nicholls in goal(and confirmation he has signed)

 

A defender to complement RT and JD-hopefully Sappleton again.(and confirmation he has signed)

 

Luke Williams get 45 mins in defence alongside RT.

Thought he looked good last week as our 4 defender.

 

Hockton and Pinnock to play no more than 45 mins and get a rest.Worried they will be exhausted before season starts at this rate.

 

Triallist/promising reserve strikers(proper strikers-not wingers.

 

A crowd of over 400.

A game as good as last week will do me fine, whoever plays!

If Fisher couldnt pull many in I doubt Ashford will.Still they might have a few supporters come down though Fisher had a good few here too so there may well be a similar away attendance..Yes a bigger crowd would be nice..This is down I think to proper advertising. Whilst we the fans are doing our best its time the club forked out something by advertising ALL games better & not just the League games.It is in their interest to do so after all.It would be hoped that others might take a look at our new forceful squad too after hearing about their grand performances from last week.

My guess however is that a similar crowd of around 300 will be there again tomorrow.

I would also wish for similar to you MM though I must admit Williams didnt shine for me though I must also admit I wasnt watching him too closely.I must make a note of doing so the next time he appears.

I would also like to see us WIN of course,even though it be a friendly but win EMPHATICALLY. Not always easy I know but a good scoreline will have other clubs shivering in their boots. No goals against & no injuries,but most of all a continuation of the show they put on last week.(In agreement with Alan above). Consistency will be take a major role this season(as it should be any season).This year though in particular as that consistency will surely be the deciding thing that will see us get promoted hopefully.

Sadly i also wont be there but i am hoping for the Gate to perform well and to score plenty of goals and to keep a clean sheet to boost the confidence in the side. I am also hoping for a new striker to be with us tomorrow as back up for Pinnock and Hockton even though Yiga and Sesay can play at front but i prefer an all out striker.

No injuries.

Another step up in terms of fitness from last week.

Good flowing passing football.

Sappleton, Nicholls and Chalmers-Stevens involved.

A young striker or two to take the weight off Hockton and Pinnock for at least 20 minutes.

Another chance to see the young players who have played so far.

400+ crowd.

id like to see whisker given more time i thought he looked a good prospect and sappleton looks the missing link in defence similar to deen

[Margate Martian]

another complete thrashing!!!

Cant be there again! doh!!!

 

Come on the gate!!!

I think the Fisher game flattered us a bit.

 

Once ahead we tok control, and in fairness, different to last season, when we went behind, we looked to get back in the game-and succeeded-that was the difference that McKimm and Protheroe made.

 

However, don't forget, we could easily have been 3-0 down after 30 mins.A Nicholls world class save, and a bit of a miss kept us in the game at that stage.

 

Credit to the team though, how they hauled themselves back in the game and then took control

[Frankie100]

Take the luck given to us and put our chances away.

[michael]

I think we should store up the luck for the league/cup games and take all the bad luck in the friendlies.

 

Things don't work like that in reality though do they
