If all fit cant change starting 11 from Fylde game.

Be another tight encounter against this pointless club.

Solihull 1-2 Alty (Linney, Crawford)

If we can play like we did at Fylde then hopefully we can forge a win.

Never fancy us after a break, we are a momentum side but hopefully the rest has done us some good. Solihull are a good team. I would take a draw

Hopefully we've finally hit on something with Wilson and Humbles in the two deeper midfirld roles - they move the ball on quicker, too many teams know to press us high and force mistakes in our own third.

Crawford sat in front of them makes the midfield area really solid - we don't necessarily need the 10 role to be a proper forward if we go a bit more direct.

Alex Newby did look more comfortable in his familiar left hand role where we could drift inside and interchange with Regan Linney as he goes wide himself.

Hopefully we'll see the return of one or two faces.

I think the extra incentive is that a win could potentially take us to a play offs spot for the first time this year given the other fixtures. 🤞
We can do it! 👍 😉

We looked more than good enough in the cup qualifier until it got to penalties. Just don't give them a goal start.

It would also help considerably if Solihull were to perform as woefully as Fylde did against us!

Fylde sold their best defender the summer before last and never replaced him.

They sold him to Solihull Moors  ::)

Good Comeback after collapsing a bit in the first half and not taking our chances.

Feels like a win when we do draws like that.

Definitely feels nicer to rescue something rather than let something slip away, kinda evens out the games we saw at Barnet, Forest Green, home game with Boston - although you could argue we shouldn't have let the game get so far away from us today.

That said, tremendous spirit and character from the lads, and it sounded like the full squad played a part (well done Parky for making some good calls).

Should take some great momentum into the home game next weekend with a very beatable Southend.

Great to see Matty got a goal. He's spent a lot of time waiting for a chance this season

He's looked really sharp when called upon too. It's a long season, he'll definitely get plenty of action.

What a touch it might end up being for us to have secured Regan Linney on a new contract a few weeks ago...

Just seen the highlights and James Jones is a liability. Hopefully Cooper to come back in asap

Fantastic character to rescue the point. Linney on fire at the moment & great to see the old stalwart Kossy coming off the bench to drive us to the point. Parky?s post game very encouraging on the injury front too-looks like most should be available by Southend next Saturday.

Total side note but gate of 1,059 with 150ish Alty. Just how do they keep near the play offs every year with 900 home fans on a Saturday??

A great draw after being behind for most of the game it must have felt like a win for both the team and fans. The lads are a resilient set of blokes and showed a creditable determination.  Well done one and all.
