This is a huge game.
We need to approach United for Hugill and be starting him on Sat.
Guessing we can only have 5 loan players in the match squad?, so does limit the substiutes.
Would like to see Welsh-Hayes back at RB and Oyedele back no. 10.
Still feel we need to find our no.10 and we are very short out wide. Hulme does OK out wide, but lacks pace and the abilty to take on players. Seems the only option out right when Gysai isn't fancied and Kaja is always disappearing.
Byrne needs time out, costing us so many points. Need more confidence this Sat.
Gould
Welsh-Hayes J.Jones Baines E.Jones
Marriott Lundstram
Hulme ? Oyedele Sinclair
Hugill
Subs : if we can have Hugill then my 5th loan would be Bennett on the bench. We don't have Hugill, then maybe Gysai for some pace and attacking threat.
Every player needs to be up for this, no passengers. Massive chance to get ro Wembley.

No limits on loans in the Trophy, as confirmed in Phil's interview with Brian.
Gyasi however is cup-tied.

Gyasi played for Gloucester in his loan spell there in the trophy

Can't see Gyasi making the squad if he's not getting a place on the bench at the minute.

That's good as Ferguson will make the bench.
Is Kaja injured or dropped?

Sorry, yeah I meant more broadly. When was he last on the bench? He's barely played since he came in, which I'm imagining means he's either got a persistent injury or the management don't fancy him.
-
Id probably gamble with Hugill if available. As you can have 7 subs(?) and several players are cup tied it could be an interesting bench
So id go with the ops' starting 11.
Not quite as optimistic as i was when i booked a hotel and purchased a ticket tbh
-
It'll be Ollie Byrne or it'll be a sub keeper drafted in; I just can't see Gould playing. Our style of play (that involves a GK that can kick
I wonder if Parkinson will enquire to Maidenhead about Gyollai. Doesn't appear to be cup tied, frozen out at Maidenhead, played for Phil and been on trial here.
Can kick/play with his feet. He'd be my number 1 target in June, so be a good test.
-
Gyollai(sp) is long term injured I think.

Ha! not one for a chant; is he deffo injured? he got a red card, game back in against Southend, played 90, then never played a game for them again; some injury if so.
Still be my no.1 target for strengthening. I do believe the lack of competition (Gould is a coach, lets be honest and emergency cover), is a real issue. Even if we have 2 GK for August.
-
Given we have absolutely no idea who is available and who isn't, I don't think I can even take a stab at the starting lineup.
-
Unsure
Miles or Perritt - JJ or Baines or Ferguson - Jones
Marriot Lundstrum
Maxi - Osborne - Sinclair
Hulme
Bench : Pringle, Bennett/Hugill, Other GK, Other CB, Other RB if fit

No need to handicap ourselves any more by only playing 3-2-3-1

Would definitely have WH at full back if he's still with us.
It's too big a game to be getting Perritt and Ferguson up to speed so I'd probably stick with Jones and Baines as centre backs.
Some posters are selecting Hugill. Have I missed something? Was he a sub recently? I don't remember seeing him.
Ollie Byrne's confidence is shot, so I'd do everything in my power to get a goalkeeper in this week.

Bizarrely as Flynny confirmed in his post match interview with PP last night there are no loan restrictions in the Trophy so should give us a lot more flexibility this Saturday & confuse York when they are trying to work out our team so that’s one positive at least.

Hulme and Osborne have done well running the wings together... so maybe Sinclair up front, we know he's a good finisher?
I doubt Bennett is anywhere near fit enough to feature from the start.
Just an additional thought... have we possibly thought about pairing Harry Perritt up with Isaac Marriot in midfield and using Josh Lundstram as a proper outlet at full back?
This last idea I actually quite like, as I'm unsure giving Perritt another go at full back currently is a good idea - and MWH clearly isn't available.

Osborne and Hulme as wingers scares the crap out of me.
Need legs and pace out there, especially if our fullbacks aren't getting forward.

Objectively, I agree with you - however it worked quite well recently across a number of consecutive fixtures.
Jordan is the only player that's looked even remotely effective at right wing, and I think we need someone more clinical than him up front for a cup fixture.

Our full backs were the only bright spark of last night

No snow around York when I was driving past to Whitby this morning. Cold and damp but that's Yorkshire.
-
Reading the supporters page, it would appear, York do not have undersoil heating but do have frost covers. They'll be needed if the temp drops as predicted to -5c on Friday night. Frost/frozen pitch will be the biggest threat as stays cold Saturday,
Hopefully we will get early notice if there are any pitch problems and an inspection is required.

Imagine having to postpone our match at York on Tuesday so we can play a match at York on Tuesday.....

I got carried away and bought a ticket then realised I could have got in as a concession (over 60's) gutted.
I really don't fancy trotting over there for two midweek games so I hope it is on.
-
Met office forecast is ,minus 6 minimum temp overnight in York. If that was at Alty I'd be amazed if we could get a game on at the JDS.Wonder if there's an early-ish pitch inspection planned.
-
According to York official website we've been moved to West Stand and seats are unreserved. Bigger space for us.

Anyone know what time the supporters coaches leave the stadium on Saturday?

Pic on Facebook of one end of the ground taken from outside. Completely covered with frost covers. It appears York has dodged the snow but minus 4 tonight. Hopefully the covers do their job. No mention of pitch inspection so they may be confident from past experience it'll be ok.
-
I live in York and we've only had a light dusting of snow and it's about 5 degrees and sunny today. So as others have said the only possible risk is the low temps overnight. I'm more worried about the second half at SC**thorpre than the weather...

The game tomorrow is not causing much excitement at their end. Most of their supporters who have expressed an opinion say that it is essential for them to win on Tuesday night as the 3 points on offer is needed considerably more then their progression in the Trophy.
They are expecting 800 Alty fans on Saturday. I am expecting closer to 1,000 to make the trip. Most of their fans understand that the Trophy is more important to us (except for one Jerkvic who remarks that we must be interested in the Trophy because, they, (Alty) have "Not been to Wembley as far as I'm aware"
Another of their fans suggests (tongue in cheek) that perhaps a deal could be reached between the clubs whereby they get their 3 points and we progress in the Trophy... Mmmm... why is my head suddenly full of enchanting music and visions of John King lifting the FA Trophy (TWICE) at WEMBLEY back in the day... oh, and not to forget the time when Alty were beaten finalists at WEMBLEY.
-
Their record is similar to ours, won it twice and beaten finalists once.

They don't have tinternet in Yarkshire yet to research cup records. As for the 3 points/cup win deal I'd shake hands on that now!

Yep. Delayed kick off

I could've played in goal today for Alty.

Is the Semi a one off game or home and away format like it used to be?
Also, anyone know when the draw is?
PS. If it's one game, it's bound to be Gateshead (or Barnet away!)
-
One game - I hope the fact that it's on April Fool's Day isn't an omen. We definitely need to be at home - our record isn't good at any of Barnet, Gateshead, or Halifax.

Anyone at home please. Love to knock Barnet out, an odious and cynicsl bunch with a crap fan base.

What a huge win that was, one step closer…
Presume the logic at the time (about 5 years ago now) was to reduce fixture congestion by doing away with two legs but a one off game based on the luck of the draw at the semi final stage seems very unfair (unless you get drawn at home of course). Fingers crossed now for Monday.
-
Excellent and deserved win, great congrats to Parky, Sorvs and the lads. Team set up was bang on and Jordan's been in top form over last few weeks.
We march on! 8)
-
Great win, I suppose it's called game management but I found it very tense/infuriating with how deep we defended so early. We're always going to concede I wanted that third goal to kill them off.
Being positive on a positive day we wanted to win that more than them, we took our goals very well, beautiful finish for the second. Overall that was a thoroughly deserved win.
Anybody at home please.
I can't imagine playing a semi final in the Gateshead Stadium. Awful place to watch a game.
-
A highly enjoyable and unexpectedly comfortable afternoon (although you just knew that we wouldn't keep a clean sheet!).
I thought that the midfield trio of Oyedele, Marriott and Lundstram were all outstanding.
The game rather passed Hugill by on his debut. Incidentally, have we ever fielded someone with a higher squad number than 39?!
Marvellous atmosphere in the Alty section.
That declared away attendance figure of 663 looks somewhat underreported to me though.
-
big queues outside. i'd hope and imagine all the alty fans would be in already. radio york just said delayed ko.
They were queuing for M & S. Where on earth were the York fans?
-
A really professional job, well done lads.
Aside from the usual high performers, I thought Eddy Jones was excellent down that left hand side.
The United lad looked like a boy playing a mans game unfortunately, shame as I had high hopes for him.
Halifax in front of a packed Moss Lane please.
-

How the travelling Alty fans - officially numbered as 663 but looking and sounding a lot more - taken from the main site report.
I don't buy that 663 at all.
-
Every player was excellent today, but if pushed, I'd say Isaac, Josh and Maxi were unplayable. All heroes, every one of them.
And yes, there were more than the 600 odd officially stated - honestly more like 800+
-
And here's our last Trophy semi-final, a 3,500 sell-out. Let's hope it goes better this time!

-
Good day out.....not the best of games, but all players got us over the line today quite comfortably.
What a souless place. These grounds ruining football at our level......a short measure of John Smiths under a concrete stand for almost a fiver ffs......give me the social club at Ashton United or a tour round Accrington before entering their decrepit ground anytime

Controlled the game for 90mins, soft goal to concede but the job was done.
Playing as our 9 has to be the hardest job in football so I wouldn't be too hard on Hugill

Hoping for a home draw.
Great atmosphere yesterday, still smiling this morning. Thought whole team battled and we took our chances well. Ollie made one great save down to his right post, prior to them scoring with basically the last kick off the match.
Personally thought bringing Ferguson on, allowed them to come onto us, but we got away with it after we lost our shape. To that point they didn't look like scoring.
Onward and upwards.
-
Some tickets werent registering on entry. Defo 800+

Loved yesterday. Well done lads, professional job.
I agree with above, we are not very good at seeing games out when we become too defensive. We struggle with the formation change.
We looked comfortable. By bringing Ferguson and Osborne on for winger and striker put us under pressure.
-
Bringing Maxi off wasn't wise and I'd hope Parky wouldn't do the same again under similar circumstances. Our midfield 3 absolutely bossed the game from start to finish.
My ticket certainly didn't register and there were a few others around me who the steward just let straight though. There were 800+
-
Came across a few gripes on the York press site about queues to get in. York need to have a review of how the ticket sales were managed / assistance to get a circa 50% capacity crowd in.

Yes I have also heard from people who were trying to get in on the home side that tickets weren't working, and that it was getting quite frantic just before 3PM. The football club were blaming the Stadium Management Company and vice versa.
The York Knights rugby league team share the stadium, but previously didn't publish their attendances, as they didn't believe what the Stadium Management Company said. Apparently, they do now, but it takes 24 hours to get a figure. Therefore,when the SMC say the away attendance was 663, but everybody who was there thinks it was higher, I would go with the latter.
-
I wonder now, did the section we were in actually have as many seats as there were spectators in this section? There were quite a number of people stood in the aisle, and I couldn't see too many empty seats in our section. To my mind questions need to be asked. I remain convinced that it would have been much better to open the whole stand, and to have a (safe) standing section. I understand the sensitivities after Hillsborough, but in a situation like yesterday, I feel that all-seater causes more problems than it solves. It is all too easy to imagine such chaotic organisation causing a serious problem on another day.
-
The three sections we were in have a capacity of 707. Even with the stated away attendance that was very close to being breached.
-
An absolute farce Saturday.
Delayed KO, gates not working. Tickets not working. Having to stand in an aisle way because people just pushed through and in to stand with their mates.
Luckily the bump on my head was just that, after falling 5 steps after the goal because people rushed forward

Hope your OK HashTag, seems people are too used to standing on terracing. All seater stadia is a different kettle of fish, hence why I didn't go Wrexham this season after lasts seasons debacle of all alty singing supporters pushing to where we were sat and making my daughter feel uneasy and squished. Ruined the day out. No need for it.

The dangers of all seater stadium just there. That's not York's fault, all seaters are dangerous as soon as somebody at the front chooses to stand. All those seats become trip hazards.
York and the stadium mgmt screwed up on Saturday, but we're soft and cuddly Alty from leafy WA15, other clubs fans may have reacted differently.
