Gazza you cannot say Alistair Smith was good , or that he played well because WVStag and MTFC Musings have declared that he isnt good enough and thats final, so please retract your statement.

He could have just had a lucky game, I suppose.

Ryan Sweeney is in a good run of form. He was my MOM on Saturday. He also played well against Col U, Walsall and Salford.
James Clarke got caught out in the first half a few times with Junior Daniel bombing past him or in behind him but he did better in the 2nd half. Worth thinking about as a right back if we wanted to play Kellan Gordon in right midfield although it would be great to get Hayden White back fit again.

Pathetic post. I never mentioned Smith in my other post (because I forgot about him if I'm honest)
If you look back you will actually see that I was singing his praises after the previous Checkatrade game against Crewe. I haven't seen the game tonight but apparently he played well in, guess what, another Checkatrade game. Lets see him do it in the league where it actually matters. It wouldn't take much for him to upstage Bishop or Tomlinson at the moment. If he's good enough why is Dempster holding him back?

Encouraging to win 2 cup games in a row and bag about £50k in prize money, I’m sure radford will be happy with that.
Now time to improve on that shocking league position

We need to get Jacob Mellis and CJ Hamilton back in our first team.
We did not look as good after Danny Rose and Jacob Mellis went off.
A nice £10,000 for JR with a possible £20,000 for a win in the next round.
Have to agree with that. Although I'd say Smith was man of the match. Some might say olejnik made too many "logan errors" like not catching every ball and not collecting every coss, also played us into potential trouble with a few passes out the back. Joking aside it was an excellent game for olejnik who did nothing wrong in my opinion. I'd say Smith shades it because he played well all game and is a creative central midfielder and we attacked well from the 10th minute and perhaps saying we won and the keeper is man of the match isn't unfair on the side (I've re typed that last bit many times, hopefully you get what I mean)
For Saturday I'd keep the same shape, logan in goal (he doesn't deserve to be dropped and olejnik is now a challenge for him), keep the same back 3, Gordon at right wing back, CJ left wing back. Midfield 3 of Smith Mellis and Tomlinson, Rose and Maynard up front. Some will say that's unfair on OSJ but whilst he put some good set pieces in he's meant to be a striker (although did drop back as the game went on) and Maynard is the better striker.
That's just me though. I'm certain that someone will suggest tomlinson shouldn't start though, if Shaughnessy is to play in midfield then Benning at centre back? Or do we go old skool and switch back to 4-4-2?
At least McDonald is not in your line up

Just shows what can be achieved with a midfield including CJ + Mellis rather than Macca + Bish.

Freezing cold at the match tonight, but well worth it. A much better battling peformance. We played some nice football at times and also switched it up to be scrappy and physical when needed.
Perform how we did tonight in the league and we will start putting a run together.
My MOTM was young James Clarke.

Next tie will be away but do academy teams still have to play away. If the can play at home there are some interesting possibilities.

So proud to be on your list Yorkstag. If being honest and open about the situation the club is in because of the managerial appointment gets me on there so be it. I support MTFC and the team. I simply don't support this manager but I do want the club to be successful.

Mellis and Shaughnessy in midfield with Rose and Maynard up top on Saturday I hope!
Yep. Mellis and Shaughnessy are clearly our most talented centre midfielders, and the two of them need to start together, something that I’m pretty sure the two of them haven’t done yet.
Shaughnessy actually played in the middle of the centre back three tonight.

Last season they played at 'home' in knock out stages. Doubt they will play at main stadium though.

Is that out your system now Garlic?
But back to it, Smith isn't good enough if we are being real. Having a good game (didn't watch last night so can't actually tell for myself if he played well or not) in the Nobody Cares.com trophy isn't really the criteria for being good enough is it.

I would give Clarke more of a run in the first team with more sub appearance maybe.

Not one u21 team has qualified yet in the Southern sections although West Ham will if they get at least a draw at Exeter
