some background it's a sell out on Sunday. This is possibly their biggest game for a generation having been nomads for years. They are one of the smallest clubs in conference south, average crowds under 1000 and a part time club in a sea of professional teams, Scott Davies the player manager is still a very good player and very intelligent young coach (ex Aylesbury Grammar School). Some of you may remember him from when he scored a penalty against us at Aldershot and milked it to the full.Was destined for big things before his weaknesses took hold. takes a sublime free kick. Tells me the has no injuries and has a plan! very good battling side - a team whose sum is greater than their parts. Aylesbury United have a big interest in Sunday's game. Scott is Aylesbury born and bred and he has a local legend,Jefferson Louis, as fitness coach. Jefferson is as fit as a flea and has had as many clubs as he has had birthdays! Jeanmal Prosper may feature - was playing step 5 about 6 seasons ago until Ben Williams at AUFC spotted him. Made a transformational change to a struggling team and has kicked on since then, will enjoy seeing him again - the only right back I've seen who only rarely popped up at right back, so busy was he marauding elsewhere! his wife worked for my wife n they've just had their first baby Tom McElroy may feature from the bench -ex AGS & Loughborough Uni, son of a surgeon.very young but very strong forward who has an eye for the goals and was a stand out player for Aylesbury. Had a loan keeper from Arsenal but binned him after 3 days due to poor attitude. Lutrhra is completely different - young, but huge n v. competent. Josh Jackman is your archetypal lower league defender and club captain. Been with them for years and a massive presence. They've got a couple of midfielders in Jackson n Lench who should possibly be playing higher, but are well paid n happy with their lot.Jackson in particular is a quality operator. Along with Scott it makes up a v. strong midfield. George Alexander up front is on loan from our favourite hate club - Bromley. Also up front is nathan Minhas who's had a perpatetic career until 3 years ago. Seemed to then grasp the opportunity and scored 50+ goals in 2 seasons at a level below (step 3) for Beaconsfield
their ace in the pack is David Ogbonna, v.v. quick, skillful right winger . had played at step 4 for several years where he was the outstanding player for Hertford, but just seemed happy playing with his mates. He ripped Aylesbury, and a number of other Southern League clubs to shreds, last season. Somehow Scott managed to persuade him to go for it and he's prospered. there's some youtube videos of his extravagant pace n skills. He could easily rip Amos to shreds if he's on his game.really good player I hope to be able to report more after our meal on Saturday night but mums the word till then!
Decent keeper, club legend in the back line, strong midfield, pacy winger and confident forwards... We'll likely get slaughtered then. Thanks for posting - I'll put my optimism back into its cupboard.

Sounds like one of Paul Hursts pre match interviews. I am suprised we are bothering to turn up.

Is it wrong that I'd probably take a draw and a replay at this point?
I'm going as I've said and I expect the players to perform a hell of a lot better than they've shown for the last 2 months, I think they've been very fortunate to escape with so little criticism their way

Not a bad ground. Parking is in the cow field down the road which has been used as a slurry storage the last 2 years so be careful. I recommend using the sheep dip before getting back into your car

If they are, as suggested, a mix between Man City, Barcelona a few years back and Real Madrid in the latter stages of the Champions League why are they in the bottom 4 of the NLS and not won in 5 games?

its simple for me, i fully expect Town to win by a couple and play a side giving Hunt Glennon, and probably Pike a game. I am also certain Shaun and Ben have us ready and positive to gain a result.

Baffling, isn't it? I can't figure it out myself, so I must refer you to AI...or perhaps FI (FI = forza ivano)

It’s always disappointing when someone repeats generic, superficial stuff that any Tom, male private, or Harry could come up with. What happened to inside sources? Try harder Forza.

Asking for a friend...... He says that he has a VPN (Whatever that is) and wants to know how he can watch the game on Sunday?
