Thanks again Machel. I actually disagree with a lot of what's been said by quite a few fans about Tuesday's game. I felt we started the game quite well and their first goal was against the run of play. It looked a bad goal originally but on the replay it was good play by Maidstone to nick the ball away, a good pass and great run and finish by the Maidstone player. That set us back a bit but we settled and it was no surprise when we scored and then were all over them. The Half-Time whistle came at the wrong time. Maidstone started the second half well but it was a bad mistake from the normally reliable Reece for their equaliser. After that we had chances although didn't quite find the form we had at the end of the First-Half. To score into injury time with 10 men showed incredible team spirit as Andy alluded to in his post match interview. It reminded me of the spirit we showed in the run to the play-offs two seasons ago. Yes I was disappointed with the Midfield particularly Vennings who has so much talent but lacks confidence. Tbh I like the 3 at the back and Deji adds much needed pace. I expect Byron will be back on Saturday but as good as he is I think Deji adds more to the side. Whatever the selection let's hope for a much needed win in what will be another difficult game.

Absolutely bob on Mash, couldn’t agree more with your assessment. Cheek looked a very mature, skilled and selfless No9 on Tuesday, doing exactly what the team needed. Louis is our ‘X’ factor and can open up even the best NL defences with a moment of close control or skill. Whatever formation we play, a starting place must be found for him. I personally prefer a front 2 of Cheeky and Louis away and a front 2 of Cheeky and A N Other with Louis in a free role just behind them at home. Roll on Saturday and Solihull
