Title: Boreham Wood Match Thread
Post by: robininstockport on February 18, 2021, 09:37:31 AM
Hopefully full squad to pick from  (with the exception of Williams).



                       Thompson

Senior    Malarkey   Hannigan    Hampson

                 Smith         Moult

     Mooney    Hancock    Colclough

                         Piggott

Alty 2-0 BW (piggott, Colclough)

I think I'd start Harrison bring Piggot on at Half Time or 60

A win in this one would be a real boost for us.
They will be very difficult to break down and we simply have to score first otherwise they'll do a Solihull on us.
They play it long and high and I'd be tempted to go with Sutton for his experience and to give Toby a rest.

I'm sure we'll see a reaction from last weekend, I doubt Joe would start, not match fit yet but getting there. Like to see Dan coming back in with Connor.

Bit of a tricky decision as regards who to select as our lone forward.

After seeing Harrison squander that good goalscoring opportunity against Wrexham, Parkinson effectively appeared to give him a 'vote of no confidence' by reverting to Peers for the Yeovil Town fixture. However, that didn't solve our striking conundrum.

If Piggott doesn't make the starting XI owing to fitness concerns, then I suppose that we are back to Harrison. Alas, to date though, opposition defenders have not found Byron to be 'mad, bad and dangerous to know'.

I think he'll go back to Harrison for now.

Also I agree about the point regarding Ritchie Sutton coming in for this one.
Title: Re: Boreham Wood Match Thread
Post by: oneedham on February 18, 2021, 04:06:55 PM
As above I wouldn't mind Sutton to give Toby some rest.
Title: Re: Boreham Wood Match Thread
Post by: JD on February 19, 2021, 12:35:33 AM
I think Harrison  will get the nod as he seems to bring in 7, 10 and 11 positions into play  more.
Peers is the better forward, Piggott,maybe not ready, but Harrison seems to fit the play at the moment.
Title: Re: Boreham Wood Match Thread
Post by: robininstockport on February 19, 2021, 08:47:19 AM
I'd start Piggott because I think we could get 60mins 0lus out of him, but we wont know till we try
Title: Re: Boreham Wood Match Thread
Post by: MarpleAlty on February 20, 2021, 02:38:10 PM
Has gone with Sutton as suggested - no Hancock.
Kozzy at No10 by the looks of things.
Harrison back up top for now.

I would have to say that thus far The Referee, Mr Parsons, has been poor.
His foul detection  random at best and his man management abject

We can't just blame the ref though. The defending has been atrocious and we didn't look like scoring even with 11.

Alty are so naive. Sliding into tackles when there's no need. Boreham Wood are doing a professional job.

Wasn't trying to attach all, or indeed much blame to him.
We have been defensively iffy all game and naive in a number of areas of the game.

Was just saying that, having been comparatively content with most of the refs I've seen this season, he is below the standard of the rest

This. Unfortunately.

I think 'professional' is a modern euphemism though, but I know exactly what you mean.

Time for Mullarkey at number ten for the second half I think.

How on earth did Brian Flynn and John Edwards so completely misread the sending off of Connor Hampson?!

Like the team, they've also been below their usual high standards so far this afternoon.
Title: Re: Boreham Wood Match Thread
Post by: Timperley The Best on February 20, 2021, 04:17:45 PM
Time for a mini shake up ? Maybe  couple of quality players in from National North on loan ie striker and winger if Colclough is going to be out for a while .

Fully agree. I don’t understand how they criticise the referee (which I agree was terrible) but seem to not be allowed to criticise poor performances from players.

They tell us Alty have played well when I’ve seen enough football to know they didn’t play well again for the third game running.

Becoming slightly too biased for my liking.

The ref was deplorably poor (did they pull him off a park pitch in Miles Platting at short notice ?) but the biggest problem was conceding the 3rd so quickly after the restart. We didn't really deserve anything from that - they looked a much better outfit tan when we won at their place, despite their best player that day having joined Huddersfield.

I don't fancy us at Chesterfield on Tuesday, especially as they won at Notts County this afternoon.

They both explained that they were over the other side of the pitch and admitted they hadn’t seen it. It’s not easy when it’s happening in real time with a limited view in fairness to them.

Do they still use referee observers at this level. They certainly need to.

I thought Tom Piers was poor. He lost the ball and made no attempt to try to win it back for their first goal. He just looks uninterested for so much of the game. Granted he took his goal well but by contrast when Kosylo loses the ball he's like a terrier trying win it back to make up for his mistake.

I'm not saying that it's an easy job (and I do usually enjoy their Alty TV commentaries) but what perplexed me was that they both seemed to have a complete blind spot to the fact that the referee had awarded the free kick to Boreham Wood and, therefore, was likely to issue a second yellow card to Hampson, which he duly did.

As much as I like Kosylo, just how many times already this season has Parkinson had to withdraw him because he is on a yellow card and has become a red card waiting to happen?

Such a frustrating waste of a good player, who is rather letting his teammates down in this respect.

Can’t argue with you Cult.. it’s not the first time he has been hooked. We at least kept going today and got a couple back.   Positive from the negative..

Bad luck for Ryan but Tom has to come on switched on. Bad misunderstanding with Sutton but he still has to do something to put their forward under pressure. He never looks interested in marking anyone as far as I can see. I'm afraid I've lost patience with him.

Post by: hsmith1 on February 21, 2021, 08:05:23 AM
when connor made the tackle that got him sent off,did their smith get booked ? just before connor had his treatment as this was on the text reports
28: Boreham Wood have their second goal of the game. Tshimanga is there to turn the ball home from six yards out. To make matters worse, Hampson received his second yellow card of the game. We are down to ten men. 0-2
27: Kane Smith receives a yellow card after a very late challenge on Hampson. The defender is down receiving treatment. 0-1
because he got carded a bit later on in the first half according to the live feed,if that was correct then he should have had a red for a second yellow also.

In hindsight, I think Densmore should have replaced Colclough and Senior play as a winger.

Alty were well on top before the injury (admittedly that was for about 2 minutes...)

I mean, I love strikers like Solskjaer who are always harrying defenders, but realistically, for a part time NL club, having a bit of an eye for goal and getting into good goal-scoring positions will often be enough to get you a game (remember "Landon, 89"?).

As for the Hampson second yellow, I eem to remember that the commentary team had it down as retribution for an earlier incident by a BW player. I didn't realise it was a Hampson foul at first either. I suppose commentators will always make mistakes, same as players.

As one prominent RR and Alty TV commentator once said; "The turning circle of the QE2!"

But a knack of scoring important goals!
