With one eye on Fridays game.

Stamenic has to play for me, I think he’s outstanding. He’s relatively fresh after a 2 match ban you would think. Put him in for both.

 

[Ringwood]

With Portsmouth physicality i would play Ward and Fulton. Question is do you play Stemenic and/or Franco?

Frustrating how good Stamenic is, leaves us with a real conundrum for the rest of the midfield. Two only from Widdell, Franco, Galbraith, Walta, and Yalcouye. Good problem to have I suppose, but can't be any other team in the league with so many positive options in the same position

I agree we need the height and aggression from Stamenic. He's also been calm on the ball recently if not as creative as you might like. For the other two I think it has to be Galbraith, as he's the class of the side, the best at link up play and carrying the ball into the attacking half. I'd like to Widdell as the third with his speed and pressing. He's also had a few moments that lead me to believe that he's developed more chemistry with Vip and our wingers.

 

[Rhoshilljacks]

We need far bigger output from the wingers and a robust defensive show to win games like this, being clinical on the break and not crumbling under pressure will be the deciding factor as Pompey will throw the kitchen sink at us but leave themselves open to the counter.
Also, from the recent performances I get the slight whiff of sea air and beach chairs, which I’d have taken hands down in November, but hope the players can enjoy playing these last 10 games with the pressure off. We need momentum for next season

 

[Ringwood]

We have a very tough 10 games ahead with 6 away games which will test Matos and the squad. Even our 4 home games don't look easy either. I thought we might get 66 points but not so sure now.

About 62 I reckon ,some tough opposition especially against promotion contenders

57-60; we’ll beat Charlo and QPR I reckon, draw two of the three tough home games, and roll over to Fester, Pompey, Wrexham, Delias and SU (maybe scraping a couple of draws).

Or win ‘em all and get 79 points. We should go for it.

 

[Malaga]

Well, win either of the next 2 and we might see a little run, draw tues and do the double over the gogs would be a great start

yes i agree and this is where squad rotation is important and for me still highlights the limited cover we have of real quality in some areas that promotion chasing sides have, and i know we have budgets and rules to conform with but this is reality, this is NO reflection on ANY current member of the sqaud and of course just my opinion

Just waiting for the next home game now, Cullen picking up the ball on the edge of our own box and the crowd shouting "shoooooooot"

It happened once when Tate scored a 30 yard screamer if I recall correctly
