Team for Eastleigh

I’ll be amazed if Raikhy doesn’t feature

Eastleigh win currently 7/2 .I couldn’t possibly bet against us but an under strength team and our form was his year in the south May tempt others.

Quoted from buckstown

Think this man may have nailed it, with the exception of Waterfall for Smith

Thanks. Tbh I forgot Waterfall was back. I though as it was a straight red he had a three match ban. Yes I would bring Luke in to rest Smith and the latter has made all the difference in recent weeks to our overall defensive improvement.

I don't see any point in going all out for 3 points and making up a 6 goal definite on Notts County as not only would it be highly unlikely given county's last game but a trip to Halifax on paper may almost be preferred.

Either way boys and girls get your petrol tanks filled up as we got some travelling to do

We can’t afford for Cropper to get injured. I’d leave him out and stick a youth teamer in.

I wouldn’t risk anyone and I’d go with the below.

McKeown

Goundry
Pearson
Crookes

Wright (if fit)
Burgess
Jones
Clifton

Maguire-Drew
Dieseruvwe
Abrahams

                       McKeown

  Cropper.  Smith.    Goundry.    Crookes

Braithwaite.    Coke.    Burgess.  Abrahams

            Essel.        Diesereuvwe


Id run something like this unless we have youth cover for Cropper and Smith.
Nice send off for Macca too

Got to have 11 of Saturdays squad in the next match we play

I can totally agree with the not risking of players but there are also those players who need some minutes either cos they are coming back or they haven't played and might be needed
For the  playoffs

                              Macca
Crookes (out of position) Waterfall Pearson khouri
Jmd            Jones       Burgess          sousa/wright
               Mani        Abrahams

Cropper
Coke
Wright/sousa
Mcatee
Hoolohan

There would be a finishing off of his career withmacca but also giving g him minutes if he needs to be called on. Smith in CD has been brilliant and Is guaranteed a spot but it's one or two for Waterfall and Pearson.
    
I wold pick Wright for the playoffs but maybe he needs toprove his fitness

Not for the playoffs! For eastleigh

I think we’ll see a mish mash of players needing game time, players getting a swansong type run out and a couple of regulars.

There are areas of the park where we are thin on the ground should someone get injured so I wouldn’t be surprised if Hurst doesn’t factor that in.

If Rhaiky is fit I’d give him a run out, I’d possibly leave out Cropper and then probably Mcatee and Taylor. Give Sousa another run out and maybe take Clifton and Holohan out to keep them fit…

Tried doing this last night, making plenty of changes but maintaining a decent spine and it was really difficult.

Hard to know what Hurst will do but I would just hope we rest Cropper and McAtee. Cropper being the only right back now and if McAtee aggravated his injury in a nothing game against Eastleigh it really would hurt us.

Less important but I would also rest Taylor and probably Fox. Mani or Abrahams and then Coke would slot in nicely.
