Mitchell Joins Eastleigh

[Magpies1959]

So rather than be encouraged that a player has improved his performance (more than likely due to improved fitness), you would rather judge whether he should be in the team, based on his previous displays (not poor in my eyes), when not as fit. I do tend to agree with Legs77 that JOB will start tomorrow, as at the moment I think he is better suited to start a game than JB, GB or EF.

Has to be surely.

Maybe the plan is to play Macca on his own, and have Scott as a backup on the bench and get even more midfielders in. And if that is the plan, it's a mistake

Yeah that would be a huge risk as if one of them got injured we'd only have one striker fit unless you consider Ruben one.

Sounds like Kairo got an assist? in Eastleigh's victory yesters.




Eastleigh sit outside the National League play-off places on goal difference after defender Vincent Harper's goal proved enough to earn a narrow 1-0 win against third-placed Woking.

The hosts won all three points with a breakaway goal six minutes into the second half when Kairo Mitchell broke down the left and fed Harper, who ran 25 yards to bury the ball beyond Woking keeper Craig Ross.

Woking's first defeat since Christmas looks to have seriously dented the visitors' faint hopes of catching the top two.

But they have a 12-point cushion over Eastleigh, one of four clubs on 41 points in the tight race to sneak into the promotion picture.

We have played with one up front for the Majority of the season in a 3-6-1 Formation when Scott has played he has played as a left side 10 with Ruben as a right side 10 then 2 other midfielders playing central in a 6 & 4
Occasionally Scott will join Langstaff up top(most recent game was BW second half) so Scott is a great understudy for Langstaff and a decent 10.
Personally I wouldn’t bring another forward in unless we got an injury and think we need only bring a left wing back in to challenge(or can Vinny do that) Chicksen(and give him a rest) unless Brindley and TAR are nowhere near fit in which case we require replacements for them

So what you are saying is we played with a CF and a inside right and a inside left.

"Inside right and inside left" are terms not used by the TV pundits nowadays therefore most of these young 'uns think "number 10" (why not number 8?) Likewise, a central midfielder is a "quarterback" and a bright move or pass is "out of left field".

It was tongue in cheek Laxton in answer to post above from P N P.
Walter Winterbottom's W formation still wouldn't be out of place.

In the days when your shirt number indicated your position and number 10 shirt did mean "inside right".

Ten minutes for half-time and the sight of a trainer about to come on with his sponge and bucket of cold water immediately cured cramp from 40 yards away.

Number 8 was inside right, 10 was inside left.
