Aldershot Town 2-2 Braintree Town - Tuesday 14th January 2025 (Match Day Thread)

[Weybourne Shot]

Someone has put on Facebook that TW made comments to the crowd (again)?

I’m still shocked he’s at the stadium, let alone getting to the touchline. Is that careless from his superiors?

I did see him make comments to a group in the crowd but I’m unsure of what was said but judging by his body language it wasn’t great.

TW appeared to be on the receiving end of an angry fan in the North Stand who was berating the performance, team selection and substitutions... not for the first time this season

[Alex]

Tommy lied to us on pretty much day one.

Basically said Theo won’t be picked to play just because he’s the managers son.

Thats exactly what has happened!

He has done absolutely nothing that is deserving of a place in the starting XI of ATFC.

Plods around the middle of the pitch doing not a lot.

Good.

Again, I actually quite like Tommy and wish him well with his health, but the way we have been playing and run of not good enough results, he needs to expect criticism!

Tonight was very very poor across the pitch.

[NorskShot]

Now more than ever the fans need to pull together and do all we can. The board will not do anything we must put our trust in TW. He will not go anywhere. Azeem, woods and Leopard don't have the gonads to do it or the cash.

TW is in the position to turn this round, but for nearly 12 months he's shown he is completely inept. He has to go

Azeem is in the position to turn this round, but as usual has left it dangerously late to get rid of TW

Unless I misheard, TW had a go at someone in the crowd for not having a go at Dewhurst when he threw the ball out, saying that if it was JVS he would have had a go at him, or something like that. If confirmed, then that is out of order on TWs part.

Agree with you again Alex. A very good summary.

Seeing as there is unlikely to be any Dr Royle ratings.

Dewhurst 3 - kept kicking/throwing the ball out of play. Expecting that to be enough of an excuse to dump Jordi back in at Oldham

Akpan 5 - poor defensively, weak going forward

Maghoma 2 - All at sea at RCB. Second to absolutely everything. When the ball did come his way it was either rolled back to Dewhurst or aimlessly flicked forward

Armitage 4 - a bonus point for being thrown in the deep end against Akinde but a shaky debut. Not a huge amount of reassurance around him.

Scott 5 - Probably the best of the back line, but hardly saying much.

R.Jones 5 - worked hard, not a lot came off for him, hooked so we could shoehorn Tyler on the left wing and keep Theo on

Tetek 3 - really poor from Dejan, but he can't be expe ted to do the work of 2 players in the middle

Theo - what can I say? It's an embarrassment

Henry 4 - bonus point for the goal, otherwise not linking up properly with team mates, and off the pace

Barrett 4 - off the pace, lovely finish for his goal, but better coming off the bench against tired legs like Woking surely?

Barham 3 - out of form, poor first touches, but isolated and no link up play from a static and slow midfield.

Subs

Frost 5 - tried hard, but should have been injecting energy in the middle, not farmed out on the left.

Hargreaves 3 - ran around, achieved little.

Corbett - offered nothing

Mullins - less than 5 mins replacing Akpan who took a knock.

[chimpster99]

An utterly spineless performance, both literally and metaphorically. Nothing to offer up the middle of the park at all - an off day for Dewhurst, nervy Armitage, hopeless Theo, disinterested Henry and immobile Barrett.

Absolutely rubbish team selection and substitutions, and clueless coaches just working to a pre-planned script instead of reacting to the game in front of them.

Time is up for these coaches I'm afraid, they lost the fans tonight and judging by the body language they had already lost the dressing room. As fans we now need to up the pressure on Shahid as we know he will only act when he is being personally attacked from the stands.

A sorry time to be a Shots fan.

What a strange one? Trying to protect one of his players maybe.

Could have previous with that fan?

TW has lost the plot. I wish him well with his health but to have any chance of staying up he needs to be sacked now.

I know this won't happen though.

We are going down.

Why is Tommy encouraging fans to berate the players?

[redandbluescb]

Why do the management hate Stuttle so much i think he looks promising
when on the pitch.

[Adzy]

I would love for there to be a fans forum so I could ask what qualities they see in Theo to justify paying a fee + a 2 year deal AND selecting him every week.

[redandbluescb]

We had better midfielders in 1992 than widdrington, rose coloured glasses
to the extreme.

He sets the tone for everything that is wrong with our teams performance.

First half he played a ball across the edge of his own penalty area which was cut out by an oncoming Braintree player.

At the start of the second half he totally mistimed his jump for a header and completely missed the ball!
