Team of Tuesday Night: So Which Players Made It In?

By Sam Elliott

Macclesfield Town may be the team for Tuesday night in the eyes of many, but we’ve got to share the love when it comes to picking the midweek marvels.

A full National League programme left us with plenty to choose from - but you won’t be surprised to see three from Prenton Park making out super 16.

There were a number of highly impressive performances as we really enter the business end of the season on a bus night of action.

Of course, we can’t be at every match - as much as we would love to be!

If you aren’t familiar with our process, we call on eyes and ears up and down the country to make sure our selection is as close to spot on as possible.

But it’s just not football if everyone agrees! Got a point to make? Then make sure you message us on twitter to get your voice heard @TheNationalLge

The National League Team of Tuesday night:

Goalkeeper: Shwan Jalal (Macclesfield)

Any one of Macclesfield’s players could have made it in but the glovesman was golden at Prenton Park. Fantastic display stretched the Silkmen’s advantage.

Defender: Luke Woolfenden (Bromley)
Though his goal was the winner at Aldershot and it really should have been. Solid at both ends of the pitch.

Defender: David Stephens (Boreham Wood)
Commanding and controlled, the big defender didn’t miss a trick against Maidstone United. Wood, with four wins in a row, are right in the mix.

Defender: Jamie Collins (Sutton United)
Kept going right until the last minute. His penalty was the winner and it was a real captain’s performance down at Torquay United.

Defender: Cliff Mayo (FC Halifax)
Vital win for the Shaymen and Mayo was the key man. Would have very much impressed his new manager.


Midfielder: Elliott Durrell (Macclesfield)

What is it they say about big players producing on big occasions? This was a top level performance from a player with bundles of ability. Your two-goal captain.

Midfielder: James Brophy (Leyton Orient)
Included for the second time in four days. This time the match winner for much-improved Orient at Chester.

Midfielder: Mitch Pinnock (Dover)
Impressive Pinnock’s night was so much more than just the winning goal for Dover against Dagenham & Redbridge.

Midfielder: John Rooney (Guiseley)
Is it too late? Guiseley’s late winner over Fylde kept them believing. Rooney’s winner ay inspire a recovery.

Midfielder: Harold Odametey (Maidenhead)
He doesn’t score the goal but does a lot of the hard work for Alan Devonshire. Excellent as Eastleigh came unstuck in Berkshire.


Striker: Danny Kedwell (Ebbsfleet)

The two-goal hero for the Fleet, their Mr Reliable was on top of his game one again as his club start to smell the play-offs place again.

Substitutes:

Harry Pritchard (Maidenhead United)

Jamey Osborne (Solihull Moors)

Danny Whitaker (Macclesfield)

Manny Oyeleke (Aldershot)

Jordan Preston (Gateshead)
