As we all know a really tough midweek fixture, but we'll be buoyed with the super win at the weekend.
I can see Shaun being rested with maybe Morgan coming back in if fit, otherwise unchanged.
As of now would take a draw.
-
After the trouncing they got at Wrexham over the weekend and being knocked out of the trophy as a result, I expect they will all be fighting for their places in the team to play Everton in the FA Cup.
I'm sure their manager will have put them all on notice in this respect.
In light of this I'm fearing the worst for us.
A point there would be fantastic but the real game we need to win is the one against Weymouth on Saturday so as long as we put in a shift and keep the positive vibe around the club so we can go into that one positively, I'll be happy.
PS. If possible, I'd like to see the back four play together again for a bit of continuity.
-
Definitely the same back 4.
BW may well beat us, but they are not big scorers so it will probably be tighter than many expect.
I'm just praying there are no more injuries for we all know that the big one is on Saturday.

Or pulling out of 50/50 tackles
-
I'd settle for a waterlogged pitch.
-
Definitely a good time to play them in my opinion - tough game, but would be great to bring home a point if we can.
-
The only decisions are in the back 4. Mullarky the only gaurenteed starter.
Horrible looking fixture imho, defo snatch your hand off for a point.
-
I'd take no yellows, reds or injuries. Not sure we should play our strongest team. We need best available eleven for Saturday.
-
This is Alty, we can go to The Wood and win, lets worry about Saturday on Wednesday.
I'm not a fan of this "free Shot" stuff, I've seen Alty for 30 years anything is possible.
-
My concern is that when we have played on Tuesday this season we've struggled to put a shift in on the following Saturday. It should be a long enough recovery time but it seems not to be for some reason.

Love a point, and I think we're capable of getting one.
1 1.
Then Saturday...
-
We have to go there and play our best team and have a go at them. We’re not the same team when we sit back.
I’m sure Parky will get them fired up.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we came away with a point.
Borehamwood 1-1 Alty.
-
It would be a good time for Hulme to chip in with a goal.
Wouldn't put it past him to do just that.

Weymouth also play tomorrow night & then have the big trek up to our place for Saturday & i assume are also part time so that really should be less of a factor on Saturday.

Believe they went full time this season.

Did they really? Wow some lessons for us there next season on how not to do it then.
-
Exactly.
Think you've got to be reasonably confident of staying up before taking the plunge.
That coupled with half a dozen stonking signings to help to ensure this.
I think they went for upgrading with young loans and giving contracts to existing squad who'd brought them here.*
*could be mistaken though 😉
-
Weymouth I believe are hybrid this season - some daytime training but not FT.
-
Probably be tighter than we all think due to the way they play. Can only see a Brave 1-0 defeat
-
Tony Thompson (c), Shaun Densmore, Elliot Osborne, Ryan Colclough, Matty Kosylo, Ben Pringle, Andy White, Toby Mullarkey, A-Jay Leitch-Smith, Isaac Marriott, Alec Mudimu. Subs: Dan Mooney, Josh Hancock, Jake Cooper, Jamie Morgan, Jordan Hulme.

Fair bit of rotation, going to be a interesting game
-
Saturday in mind?

Saturday in mind?
I think so

Saturday in mind?
I would say so. Tonight is a bonus game. Weymouth is the game that matters.
-
Glad Cooper isn’t starting, doesn’t look anywhere near fit enough
-
resting Jake ?
-
Be a bit ironic if Hulme came on as a supersub a la Peersy and scored our equaliser/winner. 😉
-
Jake is injured

0-2. Time for an impact sub! Destiny is beckoning 😎🤞
-
Hulme and Hancock on!

Weymouth 1-0 up in the dying minutes.

Now the backslapping from beating the leagues whipping boys on Saturday has died down, nows the chance to give everyone a real sense of perspective - if we lose on Saturday Weymouth will be 6 points behind us with a game in hand. But at least we’ve now won 1 in about 30 games 👍
-
And when we win, we won't.

Well done-away at a heavily bankrolled side who won away at the team second in the Championship 9 days ago & who haven’t lost a game at their own ground this season, what exactly were you expecting tonight?
Let’s hope we don’t have your kind of ‘support’ in the crucial Weymouth game on Saturday.

We showed some fight tonight which is a significant improvement on recent performances. Boreham Wood are one of the top sides in the division. We did well to stay in it tonight. Perspective is important

Exactly this. Routinely astonished at the lack of perspective adopted by some (mercifully few) fans on here.

I must admit, I do find myself somewhere in the middle of the two perspectives given here. We got away with it big time against Woking and the King's Lynn game saw us edge arguably the worst competitive side I've seen at this level. There were some improved individual performances but collectively I really didn't think there was much to write home about. KL were so sh*t. The three points was all that mattered of course.
What I'm saying is we are by no means safe and I did feel some of the comments on here and the Facebook supporters' group were a little too rosy, all things considered. We can't keep relying on Ryan Colclough to get it done for us.
It does sound like we battled well last night and credit to all who travelled to support the lads. I wasn't expecting anything from that game.
What a massive win for Weymouth, coming into Saturday off the back of that suggests they will be a tougher prospect than King's Lynn last weekend. We will need to take another step forward to get a crucial victory. If we don't up the levels again I fear we will lose.
-
Kings Lynn hammered Weymouth very recently. I think it would be fair to say that Weymouth don't travel too well. On the other hand, our home form has been wretched.
I think we'll win on Saturday in front of a 3000+ crowd.

Andrew, your comments are spot on, KL were poor on Saturday until there subs came on. But we should have won more comfortably, but poor finishing let us down, by the sound of it a little last night as well. Thats got to be confidence. Saturday is really almost like a one off cup tie, a real 6 pointer. I agree were not safe yet and need to keep the points clicking over. I was heartened listening to the commentary last night, but at this time of the season points are more important and we need the attack to start scoring. Ryan's game is up at present and others need to follow.
-
Let’s hope we can put on a display this Saturday similar to the one when we beat them at there place 4-1 . Yes they had a bloke sent off early but I fancy we would have beaten them comfortably regardless.
In my mind that game was one of the best displays we have had this season.
I still stick by my comment earlier that if we beat Kings Lynn, Weymouth and Dover then we stay up.
One down, two to go.
Positive thoughts needed by everybody.

Colclough is on a different level to most at this level, let alone some of our players. Without wanting to labor a point, our recruitment has been dire. We wonder why we can’t score a goal after re-signing a player that hasn’t scored a competitive goal in over a year. We sign a young defender on loan that hadn’t played a game for nearly 2 months and expect him to be prime Hannigan. It’s all wrong.
I know most will disagree with me but after last season I really expected us to push on, we saw signs of some real quality play despite the poor runs and I thought Parky would learn lessons. We’re in the position we are because of awful recruitment and some strange tactical decisions (Mullarkey) borne out of frustration.

Perhaps just pay his fiver then let the stewards show him off the premises. Win win.

Weymouth 1-0 up in the dying minutes.
Eastleigh also seemingly in freefall at the moment - am I right in saying their backing dried up a while ago?
They might be OK for this season but it will certainly help our cause if they're not competitive next season.

Yes, I think you're right.
There are a couple of teams in this position and, hopefully a couple of those who get promoted into the league will be similar.
If we can stay up this year, and I truly believe we will, improvements within our means which are no doubt in the mix for the close season should see us midtable for the next couple of years.
I'd be more than happy with that.
When you look at the crowds and resources at clubs like Stockport, Chesterfield, Wrexham, Notts County, Grimsby - even Southend, I think our promotion prospects are slim for a few years but top half two years from now would be nice.

Add to the above Kidderminster after their cup exploits.
