I agree, the shape of the midfield is how we win games. The pairing of Alfie and Jake also seems to work better, when they play on the opposite sides of the park, I think it suits them both because they like to run at defenders and cut in and out without having to think if there is a passing option. Talking of midfield, Where have Elliot and Dev disappeared to, they don't seem to be part of the squad ?Formic wrote:I thought we looked far better after we made the formation change midway through the second half. Midfield looked more solid, Aaron King could get forwards more without exposing central midfield, and Alfie looked at home making runs down the right, and he linked up well with Joe Merrill. Jake Newman could then focus on the left channel where he is at his best. It reminded me of how we played with 10 men against Oadby.

They have been on the bench and both were used last Saturday at Raunds. Yesterday was the first time neither have made the bench for a while and I would have thought at least one of them will return on Tuesday with Gilly seemingly outFOOTYMAN wrote:Formic wrote: Talking of midfield, Where have Elliot and Dev disappeared to, they don't seem to be part of the squad ?

What chance R & H beating Sileby on Tuesday? That would put us in pole position.

I'd take second with a second thought, wouldn't feel anything less than delighted.

As I understand it, Dev was a late withdrawl, didn't stop my dad calling Joe Merrill, Dev though!FOOTYMAN wrote:Formic wrote:Where have Elliot and Dev disappeared to, they don't seem to be part of the squad ?

So...
We need 4 points to go up. If Sileby get 6 points from 6 they'll be champions. If Sileby get 4 and we get 4 they'll be champions. If we get 6 and Silbey get 4 Sileby champions on goal difference. If we get 6 and Sileby get 3 we go up as champions.
So many Ifs and Buts!!
Most annoying thing is though, if Sileby do lose to Whitworths and we win both games, we'll have to celebrate as champions at home, unless people go Whitworths v Sileby a week on Tuesday :?: :!:
So annoying with these fixtures!

Beat Whitworths on Tuesday, and we are up
We still need 4 points.
Easy to get carried away. I also was thinking we could get promoted on Tuesday but then realise Oadby aren't playing on Tuesday. :(

Completely agree, especially looking back at the table post-Oadby:Everyweeker wrote:Possible, but unlikely.sussexdiamond wrote:What chance R & H beating Sileby on Tuesday? That would put us in pole position.

Sileby 27 71
AFC 28 68
Eynesbury 27 66
Oadby 24 60
I had given up and I think most of us thought that Oadby would never drop more than 4 points throughout the rest of the season. It's weird to think that was only 4 weeks ago, for me it feels like years!
If Whitworth pulled an upset on the final day do you think Sileby would just toss the trophy over the fence?
R.I.P Dale. We will never forget you.
