Aldershot v Iron

[ironmansimon]

Looking forward to what promises to be an exciting game. I hope the injuries do not hamper the Team.
I predict another 2 nil victory with Massey heading in the first !
Travelling to the game with a mate independently so looking forward to seeing many Iron addicts there, shame full football programme on and Champions league otherwise I know a few more that would be making the effort. See you there

Substitutes
07 Walker
14 Smith

So why only take 4 subs including a goalkeeper?

Cos everyone's bludy injured! Can't believe how well we're doing considering

[orangenblue]

0-3 and the local radio commentator compared us to Athletico Madrid!

[rustynail]

Just put the radio link on and Jordan Cox makes it 3!
I think its the first time we've scored so many this season.
Go on the Iron!

[dbbn]

Another great performance and we're down to the bare bones.

[mooresy25]

Superb result with a patched up team. Proud to be an Iron, well done lads!

[braintreeboy]

Excellent result considering all the injuries. This will present devs with an extremely positive headache when everyone is fully fit! Bring on the money chuckers on sat ))

But why not take Academy players to at least give them experience in atmosphere? For example Maybanks gets selected if its a home game, not if away!
N yes, great result!!

[ozbrit]

A sensational result considering the Injury setbacks and Kenny Captain Fantastic out for the match. Aldershot haven't conceded two goals in a game thus far, who says we haven't a strike force

Joe Maybanks has only just come back from an injury on Saturday and only played 21 minutes of football as a 2nd half sub and missed the previous two games before that.

I have to say I have not seen such a spirited performance from an Iron team so far. The effort put in by each and every player last night was incredible. We absolutely dominated Aldershot from start to finish. The 27 Iron fans who made the effort def got their £17 's worth ! ( Apart from Mulleys Dad who paid an extra £2 for the pleasure to sit in the stand #Ripoff). I was so proud of the team last night great goals scored , they worked for each other, Chez in first half ran and ran and ran, we looked threatening everytime we attacked and defensively we again looked solid. Ok they hit the post and the bar but if you don't score you don't win. Stunner from Sparky should be competition for Mulleys goal of the season. Only down side for me, the halftime burger lacked any flavour and seasoning ! and for £4 quid Value for money at the shots is 2 out of 5. Maybe with some of the extra away fan income in the seated area they could afford a sign to indicate where the entrance is for away fans! ( Through the dimly lit dogging park !) hahaha
Team rating 10/10

Individuals
Nik 9 - Some crucial saves again
Ryan 8 - Just the one mistake in first half where he looked for a foul.
Sam 8 Solid display and kept attackers quiet
Mitch 8 Young man still learning, put in his place by Massey shouting at him 1st half solid after.
Alan 9 Must have annoyed their strikers all night won everything
James 8 Played well in centre mid, silly booking
Chez 9 Hurried and closed down quickly and put in 100% again
Dan s 9 Great goal , just needs to drive at full backs more
Micheal 9 His best game so far great speed in attack, just needs to release ball fraction earlier.
Simeon 9.5 Perfect all round performance, scared their defence with his speed and control. MOTM
Jordan 9 Firing on all cylinders took goals well and had other chances

Subs
Dan w 7 - Just needs confidence but did well,
Steve 6 Game sewn up by his arrival
Ryan c 6 As above

Bring on Eastleigh and our real challenges in near future, As for the shots dont think they will be returning to the league for long time! Very poor.

Highlights here- youtu.be/mFuE_2i6dhw

I'm a bit worried thatironmansimon says that Simeon scarred their defence, did he leave his studs behind?

Tomato / Tomatoe !
Think the highlights package shows Aldershot in a better light than what they actually were.

[neilthehornet]

From the highlights I thought the quality of all three goals, indeed the performance was superb. Nice to See the Big man up front calm and collected in front of goal and finishing well, and another worldie for the first. Hope notleykev had a nice 3-1 return!!

[ozbrit]

Great report again Simon but I did spot the American spelling center and not centre crept in, any chance of an edit

[ironmansimon]

Edited ! Again !
