Slocombe, Kelly-Evans, Rawlinson, Lacey, Bakayogo, Osborne, Booty, O'Brien, Tyson, Wootton, Dennis. Would change most of the team. Just go for it, got nothing to lose. Only the FA Trophy

Brentford 2-0 Fulham Stoke City 2-1 Reading Ipswich Town 2-1 Bristol Rovers Lincoln City 1-0 Tranmere Rovers Fleetwood Town 2-1 Gillingham (Joker) Scunthorpe United 2-2 Colchester United Walsall 0-0 Macclesfield Town Crawley Town 1-2 Port Vale

Slocombe 6 - Didn't have much to do. Made some risky decisions which paid off. Brindley 5 - Got forward ok in the first 15 minutes but I just don't know about him. Got it in him to be a good player but never shows enough of it Rawlinson 5 - Ok ish on the ball again. Got a 50p head though. Headers go everywhere Turner 5 - I worry about it him. Looks like he's about to do something stupid any second. He's alright but just a bit clunky McCrory 5 - Not as bad as previous games but still can't pass. Steady Boldewijn 6 - Great persistence for the goal. That's what he can do. Wasn't the same second half Rose 6 - Really good first half. Accurate passing and put in some important tackles. Doyle 5 - Tries and wants the ball all the time. Ran out of position on occasions when Sutton countered, making easy for them to bypass the midfield Shields 6 - Good endeavour getting back and helping McCrory. Put himself about Thomas 6 - Got the goal but apart from that, didn't really get any service. Wants the ball a lot but never gets it. Makes intelligent runs Wootton 6 - Battled like he usually does but poor first touch on occasions. Alright link up play

Lee Canoville?

Might be to do with previous players or a certain previous owner and personnel involved during his time

Regan Booty on the wing written all over it. Turner has to turn up (and actually be able to turn, the carthorse). Must stand up to their physicality. Would start Bakayogo as well, as McCrory has been a bit shaky recently

Got sent off in his first game after 38 minutes

Of course this season is still there to play for. We're only 4 points off the top 7 with almost half the games gone. We have showed we can be a good team but we haven't been consistent (of course cos we only started signing players 3 days before the start of the season). We shouldn't keep using that as an excuse though as it does have it's expiry date. However, we must realise tweaks have to be made in the team, whether it's just a simple player swap or a change in formation. Ardley needs to realise you can't play Doyle or Rose together as we do not create anywhere near enough. It's also up to the players to start being braver with the ball and recognise where them crucial passes need to be played and when to be played to break down the opposition. I was expecting mid table at the start of the season but with the squad we built, my course of expectation changed to a play off battle. We have been in and around them so far and we went on a good run of form to get ourselves into a position to be in a play-off battle this season. Slight tweaks in the team are what's needed and a need to speed it up when teams high press against us. If these circumstances happened in League Two, we wouldn't be as we are but as it is non-league, we are all worried about being stuck in this league for years and that's understandable.

Rose is suspended so he has no choice but to bring Booty into the middle and put Ozzy on the wing. If this happens and we win, then surely it should click that Rose and Doyle doesn't work

Slocombe 6 - Not troubled much. Distribution slow at times Brindley 5 - Guy isn't bothered sometimes Rawlinson 6 - Cleared one off the line and alert. Our best player Turner 4 - Accident waiting to happen McCrory 4 - Not quick enough on the ball and again poor with his passes. For the first goal, he wasn't alert and didn't track his man Boldewijn 4 - On occasions, failed to track back in the first half. Lost the ball for the first goal. Quiet 2nd half Rose 5 - Completed passes this game but lost the ball in the build up to Aldershot's first goal. Still not anywhere near effective Doyle 5 - Apart from a wayward shot that ended up being an assist, did not do enough to impact the game Booty 6 - Good deliveries into the area but no one on the end of it. Why is he playing on the wing Wootton 5 - Scored but barely did owt second half Thomas 4 - The old Wes is back. The one who can't finish Dennis/Shields/Tyson N/A - Nothing of note
