We always make too many changes for these games. I want to see Josh Griffiths. Hopefully Dike if he hasn't already figures and Pipa and Fellows from the start. Otherwise we should took play our full strength side and go for the cup. Our 2 best promotion campaigns megson and Mowbray we had great cup runs.

The club doesn't care anymore. From the moment Di Matteo played the second 11 in a League Cup quarter final at Ipswich, that's been clear to every Albion fan.

It's shameful for a club with our history in the cups to not have reached a final in so long. Not reached a semi-final in 15 years.

That will continue this year. The cups just get in the way of trying to stuff our snouts in the Premier League trough.

I think with the game being moved to 2:00 and on a Sunday they have got the ticket pricing all wrong … for a start why because I am over 40 do I have to pay more than someone in their 20s … prob because of the above I’ll give it a miss

[gazberg]

Club has announced that they have given Aldershot the entire Smethwick end so should get over 10k attendance if they are up for it, which i guess they will be.

[BigFrank20]

Just had a call from the club that my seat in the Smethwick has to be refunded and I need to book a seat elsewhere    Nice guy on the phone declined my suggestion of telling 'em to F OFF!
Oh well Rainbow stand or Millenium corner it is then

Me and the Mrs will be in Block F2 of the East Stand. The real pain was buying two tickets together before season ticket seats are freed up on December 28th. Still, it's all extra cash for the club and balance sheet.

For those believing in omens, there are a worrying few similarities between Aldershot and Woking. Both are medium sized towns on the Hampshire Surrey border, and being just 12 miles apart, are one anothers closest footballing neighbours.  It also appears that Woking on that inglorious day in 1991 were at a similar level of the football pyramid (Isthmian League Premier!)  as Aldershot are now, whilst we were then at second tier level as we are now. Surely history couldn't repeat itself, could it?

Only reffed us once before....our 0-0 at Bristol City.

Here's hoping Mr. Pottage doesn't have us in a stew from the touchline.

Good morning Alex. Proper little ray of sunshine to brighten a damp morning you aren't ya? Feeling fully invigorated for the challenges the day ahead brings now. Cheers for that...... but just so you're aware I can only take so much positivity in one go  .

Coming from a village bang on the Hampshire-Surrey border, I was in a pub last week  when a group of cyclists entered wearing full Lycra fatigues whom I knew as parents of my lad.  They said that they were hiring a minibus to go up to the Hawthorns and watch the game.  It's not an especially football mad area (an atmosphere of condescension usually arises when I mention the Baggies).  However, Aldershot FC does raise some passion in parts especially when playing Woking so it's quite possible that their allocation will be taken up.

That's a bit weird !!!

You beat me to it!!!

I didn't want to say anything. Which is most unlike me. Bugger, I just know this means I'm going to be ill for Christmas now  .

Yes Dan. I usually try to put a more positive spin on things. But this time sounding like one of those fans (and we have them here) who use being negative as a reverse psychology, so that when they always predict doom and gloom, they can never be too disappointed when we lose.
In all honesty, I don't think Corberan will allow them to mess up, even if we don't field our strongest eleven.

[Sted1990]

Griffiths

Pipa
Taylor
Pieters
Reach

Chalobah
Molumby

Sarmiento
Fellows
Swift/Mowatt - 45 mins each

Dike / Asante - 45 mins each

You’d hope that would be enough to win.

[gazberg]

Just been to see Barnet today, they are 7 places above Aldershot in the league.



Based on what i saw today i would go:


                    Griffiths


Pipa          Taylor       Ajayi   Pieters/Reach


              Chalobah  Molumby


Sarmiento     Swift/Mowatt  ( 45 each)     Fellows/Reach


               BTA /DIke    (45 each)


Should blow them away as long as professional about it.

Just settle down:

CORRECTION: "whom I knew as parents of my lad's school mates"
Don't want to give the wrong impression about life in villages on the Surrey = Hants border.

Living close to the East Anglian fens, you seem " normal for Norfolk"

Carlos has said "2nd team for this" Ajayi is going to the African Nations

So expect this side

Griffiths, Pipa, Taylor, Pieters, Reach, Chalobah, Fellows, Molumby, Swift, Higgins, Dike

Subs: Wallace, Hollingshead, Swift, BTA, Bartley, Townsend, Whitwell, Heard, Love

I'd like to Clearly if fit, Higgins and Whitwell play they looked quality when I saw them. Fellows plays today so Will Carlos risk him and Wallace may be injured
