Nightmare. Best wishes to both players and hopefully they recover swiftly. Fingers crossed for both of them. Seems a very serious medical incident.

[Rene Artois]

I guess a point down there ain’t too bad at the end of the day?

[Rene Artois]

Shit…

[Rene Artois]

Boom!

Eastleigh 0–1 Iron

Hopefully we hold on or extend.

[Rene Artois]

Watson to start.
Oh dear. Think we will struggle tonight.
I can see midfield getting over run and the Spitfires targeting Jean Belehouan.

Revised again: Eastleigh 2-1 Iron
Sad to type that.

[Rene Artois]

Looking forward to seeing the starting X1

A hell of a camel ride to play Jekyll & Hyde FC.

7 points from 9, without conceding a goal at home.

0pts from 9 away; scored 1, conceded 9

Their average home attendance is 1,010

We’re always likely to score but also concede one – so, I’m going 1-1

I wonder what price a red card is for any one of our players? A hat trick we want to avoid.

Too many brandys Mr Artois – those stats belong to Braintree!

2,193 is Eastleigh average attendance.
W2 L1 at home F4 A3 +1
W1 L2 at away F3 A4 -1

W3 L3 F7 A7 Gd0

Eastleigh 0-2 Gateshead

They don’t look very fit in that clip, a lot of jog, jog, jog.
I’ve seen statues move faster than their CBs. In the clips I’ve seen, the LB looks to be the area to exploit.

If we’ve a full strengthish team out, then I think we’ll have too much for them.
Hopefully the trip hasn’t taken too much out of the boys and we can get at them at a high intensity.
They do have a long throw.
If we do go down to ten – please keep one up top.

Revised: Eastleigh 1-2 Iron

Belehouan – Rene’s new Beck.

Guilty.
I’d seen enough in the pre-season clips to make my mind up.
Happy birthday to him today by the way.
However, he’s 25 and the die has cast & set – he’ll not iron out his ‘defects’
Sorry. I won’t criticise him negatively again… I’ve put my tuppenny ha’penny’s worth in. Nuff said.

It appears the top clubs pay between £2,000 to £3,000 a week.

[Rene Artois]

Let’s get him in then ;-)

I wonder what the top team in the Armenian Premier League are paying him a week?

[Rene Artois]

Poor defending again.
Belehouan can’t jump.
Belehouan can’t defend (evidenced in previous games)
Waldron powered his way to the header and smashed it in. Who was marking & tracking him?
We need to improve massively at the back.
The more we see – the more transparent it becomes that Campbell is not the problem.

[Rene Artois]

When down to 10; I’d go:

In possession 2-4-3
Out possession 4-4-1

[Rene Artois]

It’s a sad day when your favourite player moves on.
Javi Moreno, age 28, now plying his trade in the Armenian Premier League.
He’s a CR10 type player – and has scored some worldies.

Spanish rules (at our level) dictate that a club can only have 18 senior players on their books.
The signing of a couple of La Liaga players with 100 plus games each means that Javi has been squeezed out.

I suppose the squad is being ‘upgraded’ in an attempt to gain promotion to La Liga 2 (formerly known as Secunda division).

He’s played four times for his new club scoring once.

He doesn’t look very happy playing for his new club. His smile is most certainly missing.

A sad(?) Javi Moreno scoring for his new club.

Well missed. Great player.

I believe his agents are AS1 Sports in London.

Scunny may be too cold for him… lol

I’ve stuck a quid on Dan & Dec… fingers crossed – lol

[Rene Artois]

Hopefully they’ve being working on the following this week:

1) pressing
2) closing down quickly
3) tracking runners
4) winning first balls
5) winning second balls
6) deploying a guard for the GK at corners & free kicks
7) how to spot an overload and match up
8) being strong and not getting shoved out of play
9) reacting quickly within the six & 18 yard box
10) winning defensive headers
11) being first to the ball

Good luck boys.
Let’s have a clean sheet.

It’s difficult to go with a score forecast until we know the starting X1

I wouldn’t object but do we need another winger / WM player?
Most seem to have desired a prickly CM?

[Rene Artois]

Click here to see the Halifax equaliser – it should open straight up and play just the relevant segment. Just press the play icon.

Campbell was in no mans land for the goal.

Kawa, the goal scorer shoves Boyce out of the game

Evans really is in no man’s land. Their 3 out muscle and out jump our 2 to head the ball back in to a central position.
.

.
Having pushed Boyce out of the game, Kawa turns and gets past our 2nd man, getting to the ball first and slotting home. Our two couldn’t cancel out their one!

Evans a mere spectator.
Their Bray (ginger hair) also contests the race to score – if Kawa hadn’t, then he would have!

Terrible defending – again!

[Rene Artois]

South Shields are now in to 9/2 second favourites from their 16/1 season opening price.
Kidderminster are the 10/3 favs.

Chorley are banging the goals in… 16 goals
Shields are virtually impenetrable… 1 goal

It’ll be interesting to see how the season progresses… luckily from distance this season.
