A Big Match Tomorrow!

[MargateFan]

OK, we have had a fraught couple of weeks, and it has been hard to even think footy, but is anyone else apart from me looking forward to seeing the lads play tomorrow?

Considering a fortnight ago I was thinking that I might never see them play together again, I am feeling pretty emotional about it all.

In fact I cannot wait!

With some returnings from injury we may have a fairly strong team, my guess is:

 

Trego

Barnett Smith Edwards Bouadji

Oates Keister Clarke Benvenides

Baptiste Stadhardt

 

Bench: Hussain, Charalambous, Jjunju, Watson, and either Gradley or Green fitness permitting, or Ngongou if not.

 

What I want from tomorrow - a big cheer when the team come out (first and second half), a big hand to the lads at the end win lose or draw because we love them, singing all the way through, and of course a resounding Margate WIN.

 

Tomorrow I would like to forget we are in crisis and act like we are a football team with an ongoing and ever brighter future. I am tired of being downhearted and want to enjoy my football.

and our last ??

[MargateFan]

No, we are playing Dag and Red on Tuesday.

 

That's an even bigger match.

[Guest]

No way is Tues v Daggers a bigger match than Saturday.

Just EVERYONE get behind the team tomorrow.

My team would be as per Margate Fan excepting Oates to play proper defensive role, with Edwards stepping down to subs bench and Gradley definately in midfield-we have really missed him.

 

Guess its down to who is fit however.

 

I see Redbridge have signed 6 in last week, mostly with league experience and have had one game together , narrowly lost at WsMare so this will be a very very tough one

[MargateFan]

I don't think Gradley is fit yet, Michael, I do think we need Oates at the back for sure, but if he is fit and can do some of his great runs down the wing we may get some good crosses in for the strike force.

Thinking about it, why not play our best players, thus Rocky plays a bit deeper instead of Benevides and Watson plays upfront to frighten them to death.

[TonyM]

To right MM IMO Watson is the man with Che up front.

Cant make it tomorrow,work commitments, but sincerely hope the team do the business. We are indeed wanting a result tommorrow. Good luck to the team. Give em'hell and give us 3 valuable points. There will be a man-of-the-match poll,as always with home games, after the game, so watch out for your "star" man. Hopefully they will all be "stars" tommorrow.

[MargateFan]

I still think Watson has more impact as a super-sub. It is also runoured that he had a foot injury after the New Year match.

I would say bring him on to scare the defence in the second half, if he is fit. He always seems to do more damage when he plays a period rather than the full time.

You might be cold at the start of the game geoff but methinks you will be warming up when we are 2-0 up with 1 min, to go.

[Guest]

loved to beat these guys cos we have never beaten them. I saw the lousy cup game in 1970 when we pummelled them for 20 mins and lost 2-o <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

[MargateFan]

Just been out for a walk with the dogs and, although there is a light frost, it is a beautiful day, no wind, and the sun is warm.

I have a good, bright feeling about the game today.

3-1 The Manche on fire

will be happy with a 1-0 win to the gate with any one on the pitch knocking the winner in for us!
