You are absolutely spot on about their lad on loan from Aston Villa, Cameron Archer, who plays up top for Solihull and is undoubtedly their most dangerous player. Like Eastleigh, Solihull line up with a three at the back formation which is interesting because I've always thought we've fared pretty well against these sort of systems during the Parky-era.
Their wingers, Ball and Sbarra are also both dangerous and both like to operate in the inside channels. However, Ball seems to be more of a player that likes to come a little deeper and pick the ball up and run at defenders (bit like Matty Kosylo and Dan Mooney) whereas Sbarra is more of a traditional get-in-behind sort of winger and frequently switches with Archer. Their midfield is made up of Maycock and Gleeson (Storer may start in place of Maycock) with the former playing more as a box-to-box whilst Gleeson plays more like a DM and sits in front of the defence. They're wing-backs are Williams and Cranston who both normally operate out wide but both sometimes like to come inside and both are capable shooters so possibly something to watch out for. Their back three will be made up of any three of Howe, Carter, Hancox, Coxe and Gudger. They have a good, strong defence and they are also pretty big compared to us so unfortunately it will probably be another physical game where we have to be 100% at defending set pieces but we should be up to it after a great display at a similarly challenging Eastleigh.
A draw tomorrow would be a fantastic result.
