Assuming Densmore, Gibson, Hancock and Fis are injured (its a guess btw)
Thompson
Senior Zuma Hannigan Ogle
Moult Smith
Kosylo Hardy Colclough
Piggott
Subs Hampson, Mallarkey, Williams, Mooney, Ceesay
Aldershot 1-2 Alty (Colclough, Hardy)
-
Do we know yet if Piglett is injured?
-
Parky mentioned in an interview at end of Feb that Piggott had tweeked his knee and was out injured but hopefully would be back within a week...
Assume don't want to rush him as not matchfit and not played much for ages... even if started doubt would play 90mins due to fitness concerns... he hasn't been in any of last three squads (Parky preferring Gibson, Peers, Hardy & even Harrison)... think best could hope for is place on bench... may take while to get matchfit so could even be next season before see best of him...
Agree with assumption Dens, Hancock, Gibson, etc still out... problem area still striker and think may try Hardy there even though mainly a no.10 or winger really (instead of Peers who believe better coming off bench)...
I think Team could be (but who knows)...
Thompson
Senior Hannigan Zouma Ogle
Moult Smith
Ceesay Kosylo Colclough
Hardy
Subs: Mullarkey, Connor, Williams, Mooney, Peers.
Predict result: Aldershot 1-3 Alty (Kosylo, Moult, Zouma)...
Hope whoever we put out in the team we get a win... COYR!

Bet Christopher ROBIN is saying his prayers and hoping for three points though 😉

This but swap Ceesay and Hardy around for me. Ceesay has arguably been our best centre forward this season
-
It doesn't matter how much we tinker with the line up - there is no target man at the club!
It's getting to the point, where I wouldn't mind Mullarky playing at 9. He's big and can play a bit so why not?

Not the worst shout. The best striker at the club may have been hiding in plain sight! 😃
-
Yes. I know what you mean.
I sort of apologised for bringing the striker situation up in an earlier post and certainly believe the club are fully aware of it!
I also believe that PP & co are doing all they can with the resources they have available to them and I'm sure, reading the forum as they possibly do, it doesn't help to see some of the comments on here .
I, for one, will be giving it a rest in that area for a while.

This team unless Hancock is fit, which I think he is.
Maybe put Connor back in for balance.
-
I have a feeling Peers will start on the wing, with Ceesay up top (as per when he came on the other day).
No idea whether he's fit enough to start yet, but I'd be intrigued to see Willo given a go at 10 in Josh's absence.

There was a hint Josh will be back this weekend, I would imagine he would be straight back in if so. I do hope so. As for whom should play No9, that's a huge debate.. I await to see what Parky thinks. I'm guessing Hannigan will be back in and maybe if Connor is fully fit, in for Ogle.
-
This is a game where we're going to be under pressure for long periods.
Whoever is picked up front needs to be someone pacy who can be a threat for us as the recipient of our 'out balls'.
Hope Hancock is fit.
-
Have to wonder if itll be an advantage that aldershot havent played or trained for 10 days given their covid status
-
Parkie's post match interview from the Hartlepool game says Hancock and Piglett should be back.
the interview starts with Flynny sounding like he is going to do a wee Brucie impression!
-
Its going to be a very interesting match day 16
-
A rare absence for Kosylo:

-
maybe the sending off tackle was more than it eventually seemed, it looked more serious immediately after the tackle. Or it just some rotation to get Hanks back in.
-
where is dan mooney?
-
According to the bbc website, if you click on our game on latest scores, we’re playing a 4-4-2, with Colclough and Zouma up front and Moult at right-back 🙄
-
They’ve clearly guessed at the formation and listed the names as they appear on the team sheet. I mean, what’s the point?..
-
Enjoying the passive aggressive relationship between the commentator and the 'producer'. Less so our performance.
-
Still haven't solved the centre-forward problem have we. Ceesay is not it.
-
B*gg*r!
-
Too many chances squandered in the 2nd Half >:(
-
From RR, it sounded like we played well in patches and deserved something from the game. Ultimately though, we are relying on errors for our goals. No strikers.
-
Wasn’t a bad game, we were poor in 1st half in difficult conditions.
Better 2nd half.
Unlucky to concede late on.
We still don’t look great upfront, we have players to gain the advantage but no quality in box.
Keep working as Parky says.
-
What a disappointing finale after a much-improved second-half performance.
Aldershot were comfortably the better side during the opening 45 minutes and aside from Senior's decent shot that whistled just past the post, we offered nothing as an attacking force.
Ultimately, we've paid the price for not capitalising on our second-half dominance and the openings that were created. Then Ogle's been somewhat caught on his heels and it's a flattering 2-1 to them.
The seemingly endless central striker issue continues to haunt us.
Those commentators were rather garrulous and didn't always focus on what was actually happening (they completely failed to pick up that first-half booking for an Aldershot player). Quite a low camera angle, too.
That's now merely four points accumulated from the last 24 that have been available.
-
Deserved a point for the 2nd half performance.
Thought Moult and Ceesay we're well below the required level. As for Peers, I just don't get what PP sees in him.
Kosylo was a massive miss.
Can't see us turning this dismal form round unless a) sign a proven goal scoring striker or b) abandon the 1 up top formation
-
Frustrating to lose at the death like that given we had plenty of chances in the second half.
Other than that, I think I'll wait until tomorrow before commenting further apart from saying that I don't think we're too far off.
-
I feel if we don’t make top half (at least) it won’t reflect the effort the team have put into the season. Aldershot grabbed the three points at the death because they had a striker doing what strikers do.
-
The ball should have been cut out well before Ogle was caught on his heels - a gust of wind had caught the ball and blown it halfway down the touchline, and all we seemed to do was back off even quicker rather than just simply attacking it.
Yet another soft goal to concede.
All of our quality moments came through Colclough - but he can't do it all on his own.

Got to agree with that. It was a 10 second lapse of concentration by Ogle but the move should have been snuffed out earlier.
-
I know its been mentioned numerous times, and I get that the lad doesn't want to play there - but surely Hancock up front has got to be the best short term option?
-
We would have won that game if we had a single striker who looked better than North West Counties League standard.
Their rookie keeper reminded me of Andrew Dawber, yet we didn't put him under the sort of pressure that might have found him out. Yes, he did make one crucial save from Colclough, but apart from that he looked distinctly iffy. Put simply, our attack couldn't kick their way out of a paper bag.
Let's be honest - this season is dead in the water as far as we're concerned. We're not quite good enough to think of the playoffs, but nowhere near poor enough to be relegated (Dover will be departing, trust me, and only two will be going down in 2021-2). That gives us 4-5 months to solve the problem that has surely been obvious to every one of us from the moment Jordan Hulme did a runner.
No disrespect to Joe Pigott, who's probably the best of a mediocre lot, but during that time we absolutely MUST sign a goal scorer with proven experience at this level or (preferably) higher. If we don't, I can see no prospect of progress.

This is why I decided not to comment until I've had a chance to 'breathe'.
As I've said (along with many others) it's pointless to keep banging on. PP and co know what we need as well as we do. If it was possible to do something, I'm positive they would.
-
To be honest, looking at all the streams I'm comfortable with us not making the playoffs this season.
Our ground is below average for the national league, never mind the football league. No slur on the board intended. I'm aware of the plans.
-
Frustrating as game was winable... we deserved at least a draw, especially after 2nd half display... should have done better against young keeper on his league debut... been said before, but need to find someone to convert chances we create... though i'm sure Parky knows this but it must be hard finding a 20plus goalscorer midseason as most/all decent ones will be under contract at other clubs already...
Think Piggott is probably more for next season as this season needs to get matchfit - if gets matchfit he could potentially solve the 'problem'... in Parky's defence we have tried several options, most not worked out or in Gibson case injured... hopefully we can find a loanee striker for rest of season & tackle issue with acquisition over summer break...
If we had won today we would have gone into playoff spots, but being realistic midtable is probably a fair reflexion until we solve the striker issue... we're still on course for a midtable finish & potentially 50 point target which is good... need to build on this (and several good results against top teams we've had) and look forward to next season playoff push - if we find a striker!
Keep the faith... Parky & the Board will get it right... COYR!

It's dead frustrating we've not seen Gibson and Hancock play together yet
