Aldershot Town 2-0 AFC Fylde - Tuesday 1st April 2025 (Match Night Thread)

[Triggers Broom]

I may be out of line with other's' opinion, but I don't think the win justified the awful team selection. In my view, winning the lottery does not justify buying a ticket, it just means you got hugely lucky. This is why I have never bought a lottery ticket in my life.

.....winning the lottery doesn't justify buying a ticket ?, that one needs some explanation

I seriously doubt that winning a vast sum ever made anyone truly happy.

Maybe OB but I wouldn't mind testing out that theory for myself!

just watching the highlights and fair play to Corbett. I'm not sure I've ever seen him knowingly pass to a teammate inside the area but he did and we scored. Maybe this is like early Ronaldo, if they can stop him being too clever on the ball then the other skills might be useful.

He'll be an interesting one at the end of the season. I wouldn't be surprised if he wants to leave to get more minutes but another season of working here could do him wonders. He's been sinking like a stone down the leagues so probably might want to reflect on why this is and what he needs to do to stop that.

Sinking down the leagues?

He’s pretty much gone from Peterborough to Shots. Take no notice of all the academy and youth stuff!

Played well on Tuesday night.

Not sure if just a couple of good performances make him deserving of a new contract though.

well his formative years seemed to be based at big clubs but you're right, that might just be trials that someone's embellishing.

I don't know if we've even seen a couple of good performances yet come to think of it.

Although there have been some bright moments, I would not offer a new deal to Corbett. He has great touch and technique but he wasnt able to translate those attributes into consistent performances and impact games at NL level. I wonder if he dropped down a level he would score a lot of goals, given his performances against teams like Chertsey in the FA Trophy. It might be better for him to get a season or two of consistent game time in Men's football at a lower level and put himself in the shop window. I also think he would be more effective in a team that plays wingers, I always felt he was more comfortable cutting in and attacking the far post.

I feel he's a bit of a one-trick pony, and that’s his one trick.

I'd love to be proved wrong in the remaining games. If he gets to play, that is.
