Well done, Machel; spot on. The only issue I have with you is the assumption that Dennis is an automatic alongside Cheeky. The on loan lad from Arsenal looks literally in a different league to Louis and I hope AW sees it that way as well. Apart from that the future looks bright, and if we can get at least a couple of points from the next two games I’ll be well pleased. Just one other thing, can you tell me why managers keep going on about keeping clean sheets? I thought winning games was the priority!!!

I think the key here isnt who the better player but who works better with Cheek.

Kido has fantastic individual quality BUT the stats show that when Louis partners Cheek it gets the best out of both of them.

Kido isnt a striker as well so he was filling in an emergency role - I would more expect to see Kido in the #10 or playing in a change of shape 4231

In terms of clean sheets - it starts with the mantra that if you dont concede you dont lose.

Could not agree more with what you say yet again. Solihull was a game we could have won but which showed the importance of Cheek up front as emphasised re Eastleigh Cheers
