I'll be honest, I've no idea what to expect. Could be a complete no show, could turn up and hammer them, could be a drab 0-0. 1-1 my prediction at a push.
Really vital that either Hampson or White are fit.
Thompson
Morgan Mullarkey Cooper White
Marriott Moult Osbourne
Kosylo Hulme Colclough
Its a game we're more than capable of winning but we need to believe and cut out silly mistakes.
Alty 2-0 Woking (Hulme, Colclough)
Suggests Hannigan is out for a little while and sounds like the end of Digie. Needed addition. Think we need some steel in the mid field though.
A rejuvenated Moult could well be the answer.
That’s really good news. I thought Solihull were guilty of simulation all through the game.
I won’t be in a hurry to return to Solihull FC anytime soon. sh*t for parking, telling people to park at the airport is a joke.
Ground situated in the middle of JLR factory. I can see that ground being swallowed up by developers .
Let's be realistic. Since we won at Southport in the FA Cup on 16th October, we've played 20 games in all competitions. We won just one of them - against opposition who played three quarters of the game with 10 men. We've managed 5 draws, and we've lost the remaining 14 games. Three of those games in cup ties were against lower division opponents, and we failed to win any of them.
I honestly believe that we will not win another game this season, and that we're basically in a dogfight with Weymouth for the third relegation spot.
If we lose at home to Woking next Saturday, and Maidenhead beat Eastleigh at home, we'll drop to 19th. If Wealdstone get anything in the following midweek at home to Yeovil, we'll be 20th.
Morale seems to really low, and that's perfectly understandable, but we can make all the excuses we like - the fact is that we're simply nowhere near good enough to survive on our own merits. We will only survive if others fail.
I know it's not the time, especially after the embarrassing team selection and 'performance' today, but our fate will not be decided by a game at Solihull, but how we get on against teams in our own little mini league. I think all 3 bottom teams lost again today and we now play a majority of teams in the bottom half.
Yes, things are crap, but we're not down and out yet. In fact, we'll have to try very hard to be relegated given the bottom 3. It's not ideal, but it's something to hang on to. Sacking the manager would not be wise.
