The lads have been brilliant in recent weeks in very challenging circumstances. Some of our younger players, in particular, have shown remarkable improvements.
Lets all get right behind the team from the off today. Aldershot have lost their last 3 matches and had a long trip to Rochdale in midweek. This is a very winnable game and a chance for us to get further away from the teams in the drop zone and a chance to overtake Aldershot.

Good job lads! I was excited to hear that Loui is helping on the bench today with the Management team..... Good to see the club pulling out all the stops during what must be a tough time while they sort this situation out.

Another battling performance resulted with a deserved win. Mind you, I didn't think we started very well and were a little fortunate not to concede early on. Once we started to get the ball on the ground Aldershot could not live with our play. As much as Keiron is not ticking all my boxes, I have to say that his performance today was his best. His through balls and passing at times was excellent. Two goals in two games, well done, keep it up. The new manager is going to inherit a good work attitude and I hope he can keep it going. Man of the match for me was between Fyfield and Marshy.
Well. Not our best performance but 3 nice points. Thanks Aldershot for the Christmas present. You should of been wearing Santa suits. If your team played as well as your fans spout total bollocks all day,you'd be playing premier league.

Thought we were excellent today after a nervous start. Not an easy time for anyone at the club so well done to everyone involved. Pleased for KSA - great pass for the first goal and a good finish for second then unlucky with a superb shot near the end. The spirit has not left this football club. Onwards and upwards!

Great result, hopefully with another good result on Tuesday it will set up the christmas period nicely and the team will be full of confidence.
I had some serious doubts about KSA, but I have to admit today he was like a different player, some great passes and unlucky not to have scored another, seems to be full of confidence and enjoying playing, fingers crossed he keeps this up!
With the new manager in place now, it all looks very positive!! COYW
I cannot add much more than has already been said about our performance yesterday. It was so pleasing to watch our lads giving 100% commitment and the quality of our passing was excellent. Yes, the first 20 minutes we were finding it hard to get our game going as we would have wanted but we kept our heads and from then on we looked a class act. When you stop to consider the unsettled week the players have had to endure they fully deserve all the praise that comes their way.
What I liked about the team yesterday was the players seemed to play with freedom of expression which I admit I like to see in a team, okay at times of the things tried did not come off, but when it did it was great - the back heel pass the lead to goal was quality to see - Well done Jamie T and his team, would like to see more of that on Tuesday Night.
Agree with comments about KSA a different player this week, seem more relaxed and comfortable in himself.

Endorse the positive comments - a superb performance on Saturday, now we need to continue our form over the Xmas and New Year period. That will not be easy with an additional game tomorrow and our comparatively smaller squad. As for KSA - what a transformation! He has obviously found the best place for him to play and is doing it with enthusiasm and skill. Also, after forcing the keeper to make a superb save, he lofted one over the bar to humorous quips from supporters on the lines of "that's better Keiron"- to which he responded with a wry smile. Well done mate.
In fairness, KSA was outstanding at Telford, and some of the abuse on here before that was very harsh.
It is clear he is a popular member of the team as everyone, bar the goalkeeper, ran to congratulate him on his goal. Would that have been the case if they had ever thought he wasn't trying?
Good to see KSA making an effective contribution. Has to be said that until recently his form wasn't good to put it mildly culminating in a brief spell out of the side.

I have rarely, if ever, criticised individual players on here - and I am always swift to praise players like KSA when they do well, and he has done exceptionally well of late. However, he was left on the bench by Jamie for a spell and, presumably for a reason if he was not injured. Now, it seems, he has given the response required and gained the praise and backing from supporters for doing so - long may it continue. And, once again, well done KSA.

Well he had just scored for the team, so quite possibly. Especially if they think his work rate has improved since earlier in the season

He is playing in a more suitable position. He was dropped because he was the main striker but didn't score any goals! I can assure you that defenders do not run half the length of the pitch to celebrate every goal with the goalscorer.
