Well it was Wealdstone that were the first team to beat us in this woeful run we are on.
Lets hope Wealdstone are the first team we beat at the start of a winning run again.

I have bad memories from Wealdstone - not only did we play badly and got beat - I got Covid from there even though I was wearing a mask and being extra careful. I won't be rushing back.

Have I missed something or has there not been a presser for tomorrow’s game?

What team would people go for tomorrow?
Crocombe Smith Waterfall Pearson Crookes Raikhy Coke Clifton Wright McAtee Abrahams
After a bit of a think since Tuesday night I think I’d go with that. I don’t necessarily think it’s our best 11 but brings with it a little continuity at least.
I had thought it was maybe worth giving Clifton a go at full back but it’s Notts Co away next week and I assume we will want to have 4 defenders at the back, albeit a third centre half.
Crookes and Amos are a toss up for me. Crookes has been fine this season and was the left back throughout the good run so gets the nod.
Midfield was tricky. Went with Coke even though I think his best days are behind him. Raikhy apparently likes to do a bit of everything so hopefully Coke can cover that. Clifton comes back where he is because when things were good it was him getting down the left of McAtee and JM coming inside. I think Coke might anchor the midfield better than Fox - could be wrong.
Wright for JMD if he’s unavailable.
Another decision in Abrahams. We’re led to believe Taylor is struggling with 2 games in a week which is fair given his age and how much he gives to the team. He’s been great but he comes short and links which is fine, but I’d just like to see us try and stretch teams which I imagine Abrahams would try with his pace and strength. We did get beat by Wealdstone at their place and tomorrow won’t be a walkover but we should be expecting to beat them and be on the front foot. I think Abrahams could set the tone there.

It took place today instead of yesterday this week, maybe cos of the midweek game. Here it is - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0bkxkh1

Thinking:-
Crocombe Clifton Waterfall Smith Crookes Raikhy Fox Burgess Sousa McAtee Abrahams
Need to link the defence and midfield better, Waterfall and Pearsons distribution isn't great, so hoping Raikhy can help with that like Hunt did before, hopefully Burgess can get forward more, allowing Fox to sit. Clifton in at right back, shouldn't be playing Smith there, not a right back in a million years (feel for him) but would move Smith to centre defence, can't help feeling Waterfall and Pearson have a mistake in them each game, and they are also 1 paced.. I think Hurst originally concluded that when he brought Towler in, after only one match. Fingers crossed...

Hurst effectively implying that Grant and Scannell have been given the option to mutually terminate their contracts should they find another club. Feel like from what he said that Michy might be a surprise inclusion in tomorrow's squad too.

I think Smith will play at RB so Clifton can be utilised in the middle. Against Notts County I expect Clifton, Efete or a new RB to play there though.
