Whatever the reason, it's a bit of a kneejerk reaction though it's certainly a team who could quite easily be cut adrift quite soon unless things change.

Ebbsfleet have sacked the manager

That's a bit early by any standards. Perhaps they've got someone lined up they think is an improvement?

Not when you still look like you are starting pre-season despite it being game 7 of the season and you keep getting battered.

Halifax did them with 10 men the game before.

I was surprised he wasn't gone already in some ways.

We're very likely to be aggressively high-pressed through the middle of the pitch.

There's definitely an argument to go with safety in numbers at the back with three instead of two, get the ball wide quickly as we know 4231's can be quite narrow, and it might help to suppress the likes of Zak Brunt as he'll have to keep one eye on his defensive duties.

We have two ready-made wing backs with a goal each to their name already this season.

A lone striker might prove a frustrating existence, so dropping Bickerstaff to the bench and letting Regan and Justin run at them might prove to be useful.

Just a thought, as much as I do sign up to the 'don't change a winning team' thing.

Win the next two and we'll start getting dizzy headed again. 🤪

You're really going to have to watch where you're posting RGD! 😉 😂😂

Well I'm darned If I know how I managed that SR. I'm not safe to be out 😱

It comes to us all - even Alty fans.!😉
I'm not far behind you 👍😂😂

Capable of getting something against Barnet tomorrow. Not the nicest place to have to go on a Tues evening. I would start with Humbles tomorrow we will need to be strong in midfield.

Barnet 1-1 Alty

If fit, then I would bring Wilson into the starting 11.

For either Osborne or Crawford, not sacrificing the 10 position.

I suspect it's a little bit longer than one game if we've brought in a loanee, but I agree with you.

Really poor timing on that one.

Given everything was going to plan from 46 minutes onwards on Saturday - and the fact we can now make five subs - it was nice to see Parky make uncharacteristically early changes!

As a result, I don't think the manager will be tempted to switch personnel around too much from the start - particularly given lots of players (such as Newby and Linney) have rotated around a bit already.

It's probably not the game to bring the likes of Humbles and Reddin in from the start, although I'm sure they're more than ready if called upon.

The only thing he might be contemplating is whether to match up their 4231 or try something different - although I know wing backs are contentious on here...
