Same analysis as last week with that line up, simply because I think it's limited in the options it offers. However we have an unknown quantity in our midst in Brown. How match fit is he for starters. The probability is we'll try to stifle any threat from Wealdstone and then bring on Brown, go two up front if we need a goal or two to either win it or if we're chasing the game.
We went to their place not so long ago and put seven up them, will they want to redress that, play us off the park and dish out a hiding................I wouldn't rule that out either.
We need maximum creativity from Campbell and Miley and hope Reid has his scoring head on. Those two and Daly need to bust a gut today especially towards getting into the box at every opportunity to back up Reid.
My main leaning is for a tight game but hope for more and a convincing win. I am sure we'll get that one day so why not today. The only doubt about that scenario is whether we score and go for more or sit back and defend what we've got.
Conundrums in evidence today Boys, which is why I'm hedging a bit.

A good performance to be fair, unfortunately we didn't have enough to get a winner. We stood off their man on the edge of the box and he got a great strike in but other than that not a lot wrong with the way we played.Their keeper was their mom. Miley was mom by a mile imo, best game he's played for us.
Again Reid can't play with his back to goal and thrives on running past defenders. Need to play to his strengths and give him a partner.
Reckon we could've given the new winger a bit more time.
2 points dropped though.

Yeah new guy wasn't given enough time to make an impact, it's what we do though, sign players to keep the bench warm.

In the post match interview Featherstone admitted he should have brought Brown on earlier.

think everyone watching the game thought the same. however starting the lad who had only been at the club hours was never going to happen. he has a week to get to know his team mates and hopefully we,ll see more of him next saturday.
