Might as well get one started!!

picked this up off the shots web site...
The Shots will be hoping to pick up their first points of 2012, as Accrington Stanley visit the EBB Stadium

Aldershot Town vs Accrington Stanley
Saturday 21st January
EBB Stadium
15:00

Team News -Shots The Shots have been hit by injury problems, with forward Michael Rankine (leg) and winger Alex Rodman (viral infection) set to miss the rest of the season. Some good news for Dean Holdsworth is that that centre-back Chris Doig, should be fit to play after recovering from a hamstring problem. The Aldershot manager could also hand full debuts to Charlie Collins and Josh Payne. One player who will not be available for the Shots is Jermaine McGlashan, after he moved to fellow League Two side Cheltenham Town on Friday.

Team News –Accrington Stanley Accrington with out captain Andy procter who made the switch to Npower league 1 side Preston North End yesterday could hand debuts to both Michael Smith and Liam Willis for the clash at the EBB. Smith, who is on loan from League One Charlton and former Wigan defender Willis joined Stanley earlier this week.
Form
Shots -It has been a frustrating period for the Shots, without a win in their last five. Last week they went down to promotion chasing Cheltenham Town 2-0. Goals either side of half time from Luke Summerfield and Kaid Mohamed were enough to condemn Dean Holdsworth’s men to their 14th league defeat of the season. Aldershot Town are in 16th place in League Two.
Accrington – Stanley have been in good form of late. Even though in their last outing they went down 3-0 at home to the hands of Barnet, that was their first league defeat in ten games. John Coleman’s men are just two points of the play-offs and if results go their way they could be as high as sixth come 5pm of Saturday.
Last Meeting -Accrington Stanley 3-2 Aldershot Town – 1st October 2011
It was quite a game when the team last met back in October. The Shots took the lead through Danny Hylton before Sean Hessey struck back for the hosts just four minutes later. Dean Holdsworth’s men again took the lead, and again through Hylton, this time after the striker headed home from an Alex Rodman corner. The visitors couldn’t hold onto their lead and Accrington and drew level through Danny Coid. With just two minutes of normal time remaining Charie Barnett grabbed the winner for the hosts.

Bank balance says no.

Cant see Willis playing, he may make the bench though.

Hopefully Barnett will come in for Proccy and take his chance.

Looks a fair call that smudgie,I think its time young Tom got his chance

,Didn't think Toto had a good game against Barnet!! May be he was still feeling the effects of the head injury from the Burton game..

smudgie · 21-01-2012, 08:53

Coley seems reluctant to play him for some reason, the lad ooze's class whenever ive seen him.

To be fair I think they all had shockers last week.

How Coid is on the bench is beyond me at the moment.

Hope smudgies team is picked,although I suspect same as barnet with coid coming in at rb and murph in middle

cashman · 21-01-2012, 09:20

Funny yeh should say Barnett,smudge, i was only saying the same to sparkie yesterday morning, before we knew owt about Proccy leaving.

doubt if that will be the case though.

smudgie · 21-01-2012, 09:26

I like Barnett, he just seems to blow abit hot & cold.

Though Craney is nowhere near match fit yet, so no way he should start.

I suppose the good news from the other side is that Jermaine McGlashan (from what I've seen, their main threat) has been sold to Cheltenham.

Unsure as to the line-up and not really bothered. I don't see any name on the team sheet and think "oh no, not him"; I think we have stronger strength in depth this season than last.

I guess the major test will be how the players react to losing the captain in such a bizarre fashion, but our experienced heads should be able to step up to the mark.
