Title: Ebbsfleet match
Post by: ianpickles on April 10, 2024, 09:49:28 AM
How are we to set up in midfield without George Wilson?

And also bearing in mind that Osbourne is one booking away from a (three match?) ban?

Donowa at RB and Hancox and Banks in CM? Or Osborne and Hancox and pray for no bookings?

We need 6 from 6 to have any chance of a home eliminator. Chucking away points away at York and Fylde have cost us a chance at 3rd but the playoffs are a lottery anyway

Hancox and Osborne in midfield - no choice really.

They're not actually a bad combination. Can we not use Donowa in one of those positions, and Banks at RB?

Elliot Osborne playing two games needing not to pick up a booking?

Should be looking to win both games. Saturday will be tougher game than oxford. So its Hancox and osbourne together, only rw is up for debate. Pray osbourne doesnt get a yellow.

Get 3 points rest him for oxford with banks in midfield and donawa rb.

Jobs a good un init

Ross

Banks
Jones
Baines
Cooper

Hancox
Osborne

Amaluzor
Newby
CCC

Surely have to be starting Amulazor if he is fit.

Agreed. Justin A will be crucial to our play off hopes so now we aren’t playing a bunch of thugs on a plastic pitch but a proper footballing team on grass then I’d bring him back in on Saturday. To get to Wembley we are going to have to win at least one away game so I see this Saturday as a real good indicator against a side who still need points to be 100% sure of staying up & have been in fine form recently. Fair play to those who make it all the way down there, sure it’ll be great craic for the last scheduled away of the season & the retro shirts.

Have we not gone over the cut off for bookings now?

Post by: MarpleAlty on April 11, 2024, 07:52:55 AM
The Osborne booking situation is really perilous and could ultimately cost us if there hasn't been a cut-off.

It's frustrating as I think all of us have felt that we've been at least a man light in midfield all season.

Thank God we signed Mitch Hancox when we did, and obviously George Wilson stepping up has been crucial.

Seeing Justin back will be a huge boost - fingers crossed.

From what I can see here, the cut off point is 37 games and therefore will no longer apply, thankfully:

Ebbsfleet home form is very good, if there away form matched it they would in and around play offs. Tough game.

Hope Amaluzor is back as an option, probably from the bench. Need to play strongest team available and look for the 3 points. My team would be

            Ross

Banks Cooper Baines Jones

     Osborne Hancox

Kosylo   CCC   Newby

       Linney

Hope everyone is fit.

Subs, Dior, Amaluzor, Roscoe, Mooney, Gould

Is Justin Donawa not available as an option?

The only decision to make at this stage is the right wing berth, but I think all of our available options can do a job there so I'm not too precious about it.

Come on boys - let's leave the rest of them needing snookers...

I'd forgotten Justin, replace Justin for Gould on the bench.

Amaluzor in for Newby who drops to the bench. Hancox in midfield for Wilson.
This team can do it! 😉
Come on you Super Robins 👍 🇦🇹 🏆 🥇 🇦🇹

Great result in the end, but we need to keep away from wingbacks, we were well under the cosh second half. Ross made 4 or 5 important saves. If he wasn’t in net, that would have been a draw, maybe worst.
Should have put Mooney or Kossy at HT and not Roscoe. Gone for the third.
I am hoping Parky remains positive in the playoffs and sticks to our best formation. Apart from Gateshead away, we look so vulnerable playing wingbacks.
Another 3 points and hopefully we get a home tie.
Up the Alty.

Another three points and we are guarranteed a home tie. I can't see Halifax or Gateshead getting maximum points

What a great result, listened on RR. Reminds me of the 79/80 season. Great for all the younger alty fans to savour pushing for the FL. Long may it continue.

The morning after the night before… still feel like I’m in dreamland and had a blast yesterday at Ebbsfleet! Been one of the best seasons in my living memory. So proud of my little club. Yesterday was just so perfect. As others have said I think Ethan is probably the best goalkeeper we have ever had (bold statement I know), he was immense yesterday! Baines pulled off a worldly save of his own at a very important time too. How many games has he won us just like Ethan with his blocks. Not sure how many games we have had him as captain but seems to be on a good streak. Cooper another revelation this season, has come on leaps and bounds from last year and is playing in the form of his life. Good to see CCC tracking more and doing a lot more off the ball to support the team, he really could become the real deal. I could just go on naming and praising here, but whatever happens from now until the end of the season, thank you to the team, thank you to the management and execs and everyone associated with the club. Finally hope JD is ok and it’s nothing too serious.

Could be he's done his ankle. All our best wishes to him. He's been a great option and team player for us when available and a great 'outlet' player.
