[Inter Alty!]

So, after the Dover comeback win... partly due to the introduction of subs i wonder if some of these subs may force their way into the starting XI (eg Pringle, Leitch-Smith) plus Dean Furman with all his experience will also be pushing to start though more likely will have to be content with a spot on the bench again...

Also the other issue is the problem area of LB caused by injuries to Hampson, White, Dens, Fitzpatrick plus Bunney being dropped to the bench at Dover (unless had slight knock)... if none of these are fit assume Senior will again move from RB to LB & Jackson start at RB (even though more of a winger)...

Then there is the no.10 & striker positions... Mooney (in Lge Team of the Week twice now) & Colclough will surely start on wings/sides of 3 behind striker... that leaves Hancock in no.10 spot (if fit) or Kosylo (who was replaced against Dover) or maybe Leitch-Smith who did well when he came on last match... Dinanga has not done it last two games so maybe a replacement could happen there eg Leitch-Smith or Peers...

Hence lots of questions to address & we are unaware of injury updates (plus we seemed to play better after substitutions as a team v Dover)...

My best guess is the following (in usual 4,2,3,1)...

                          Thompson
Jackson   Mullarkey   Hannigan   Senior
                         Moult   Kirby
          Mooney   Hancock   Colclough
                         Leitch-Smith

Subs- Pringle, Kosylo, Furman, Dinanga, Peers

NB if Hancock unfit then start Kosylo & add Bunney to bench...

Score Prediction: Wealdstone 1-3 ALTY (Mooney, Colclough, Leitch-Smith)

Looking forward to going this game... COYR!

[robininstockport]

I assumed Kosylo came off and it was his first game for quite a while.

I think it will be starting 11 as Saturday. Subs to be introduced depending on state of play.

Wealdstone 1-2 Alty (Hannigan,  Colclough)

[distancetraveller]

Keep the good start to the season going

Wealdstone 0-2 Alty. Mullarkey & Mooney

First clean sheet of the season.

Also going to this one.

Onwards & Upwards.

For what it's worth, I do think PP will make changes to the starting 11.
It'd be mind-blowing if Pringle didn't play somewhere in that midfield. Keeping a player with Furman's experience happy on the bench is going to be tough, but it's likely to continue.
I think PP will continue with Dinganga for now and Hanks will return to the starting 11.

Think you could be right AB.
Furman has a chance of coming on at some point though as he's a defensive midfielder who aims to protect the defence... and that could be needed later on in the game.

I think this might be spot on, I think Pringle might come in and Hancock will be rotated in for Kosylo too I think.

Should make for a strong bench regardless of whoever starts.

I'd be careful not to underestimate Wealdstone.

Their last two fixtures have comprised creditable draws against Southend United (home) and league leaders Dagenham & Redbridge (away) respectively.

[Sale Holmfield]

I wouldn't underestimate anybody in this league. Dover were much better than I expected, and gave us quite a game. We may be slight favourites at Wealdstone, I would have thought

I also expect Ben Pringle will start, after his performance against Dover, while Leitch-Smith and Hancock might do. Although the defence currently more or less picks itself from those available, there are lots of options in midfield and up front.

By the way, anyone between 18 and 23 make sure you get the cheaper Next Gen ticket Nice to see young people being favoured over pensioners for once, I will say, donning my tin helmet.

[Hugh]

I think 2-3 is more likely (assuming we win), they have scored seven goals in three games and we still have too many defenders out. Hancock is bound to start scoring sooner  or later, and for me it's difficult to leave him out.

[Saughall Robin]

I'd be happy with a draw, and delighted with a win.
Four points from the next two games would be nice.

I'd be happy with a draw, especially so if it's nil nil. Clean sheet please.

[MarpleAlty]

I'd be happy with a draw, and delighted with a win.
Four points from the next two games would be nice.

4 points would definitely be a very sensible target - I always keep one eye on the corresponding fixtures from the season prior, which was 3pts.

Wealdstone's recent results show they are certainly no mugs, they'll see tomorrow as a great chance for them to get their first win of the season.

[robininstockport]

Yes a draw Saturday and win on Tues would return 7 points from 3 games. This is what I was aiming for.

Wealdstone will be no pushover,  hence why I can't see Pringle starting.

[Saughall Robin]

Same team as last match according to the match day updates thread.
