[OneDecentLester]

We’ve two home games against Wealdstone and Dagenham before we head to Halifax on the final day. If we can pick up 6 points from our next two, I reckon we may have already qualified for the play offs before the potential crunch game at the Shay.

I really hope that happens as I don’t think I can handle the nerves of a winner takes all finale at Halifax

We need to win 3 of our next 4 games really, playing you at our place is make or break. Its the typical game we lose this season.

I mean we didn't beat you at yours when you were rubbish, so no hope when you are playing well. Although hopefully this time we won't lose all our strikers to injury before the game.

Playing Bromley twice is a weird extra factor for us as well, but ten days ago it looked like we were going to have three must win games in the last four. Now we’ve got ourselves back into a position where they’re much more like must not lose ones.

We have suddenly started scoring freely and Rodrigues has come back like a man possessed after Burchnall dropped him out of the squad completely. If we can navigate these last four games then we might even go into it with a bit of momentum.

 

[Magpie Mike]

4 subs on the bench and no keeper.

This kind of unprofessionalism is part of why we have failed to mount a serious play-off challenge this year. We've had a good season but need to step up a gear on things like this.

We rarely have a sub keeper, even when we have a full squad available.
Never understood it myself.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Solid win for us last night - first half was even but we controlled the second.

Thought Yeovil's red card was harsh, looked a cynical yellow challenge but I was genuinely suprised when the red came out. Didnt see Yeovil argue too much so maybe it was to do with where the studs made contact?

 

[Jerry]

Sutton's to lose now but if we win all three then they can't afford a slip.

Stockport away is a huge game now but our away record against the top 8 is won 6 drawn 1 so far.

We ARE a club now with a half decent record in its big games, since reforming- 2 play-off finals, FA Trophy final, and in the early days, a virtual title decider against Lancaster, in which we blew them away 4-0. Sure, we've lost some too, but pre-reformation we'd have bottled ALL of those.

 

[B2TF]

The multiple "6 pointers" among the play- off contenders make the maths angle as complex as particle physics.

 

[Luke Imp]

The Torquay vs Stockport game probably makes it a two horse race rather than three now?

 

[CFC91]

Big win for us, good to see Yussef and Rowe getting in the goals, they are going to be important for us in the coming games so we need them with some confidence. Same again on Saturday please,

Rowe and Oyeleke are looking like really good signings, very intelligent footballers, we just need a couple more around them of a similar ilk as some of the balls Rowe is hitting, nobody is getting on the end of because they're just not anticipating it.

We don’t use a sub ‘keeper either, think it’s pretty common now down here with only five subs. Theory is you’ll pick up more points having the extra outfield option available than you’ll lose on the rare occasion your ‘keeper has to go off.

Only happened to us once all season when Slocombe got sent off and we managed to win anyway. Even last night, as much as you could tell Comley didn’t really know what he was doing in goal, he couldn’t really do anything about the goals he conceded.

 

[Master D]

All eyes on Stockport now. Will they do the Brotherly thing against Torquay or will they risk a civil war?

Hartlepool's commitment to stopping evil will also be called into question if they don't beat Sutton.

I don't think we've ever won when playing on a Duplo surface, but we'll do our best.

I think Doswell will reappear on the scene and have a word with them, it’s getting too close for comfort now. They are possibly a week or so away from financial ruin.

We're appealing the suspension as it was clearly not a red. He clipped his heel as our manager said after the match.

IF Sutton win on Saturday, then a Stockport win against Torquay virtually gifts the title to Sutton.
And then the play off's will be a nightmare for every team in them as 5 or 6 of the 6 play off teams will probably be ex-EFL trying to get back.

As I’ve said many times. He’s that good with the ball you can play him in centre mid. Head and shoulders better than 90% of players at this level. You don’t up this year and I will be backing you next season

When Asante is back those two should tear shreds out of everyone else hopefully. Just a shame Asante's injury is so bad, no idea if he'll come back the same player or not.

 

[Aberstone]

Bromley don't deserve a playoff spot purely for taking the ball into the corner flag last night, against us!

 

[Stoney Ground]

Bromley don't deserve a playoff spot purely for taking the ball into the corner flag last night, against us!

Plus they’ve got Mr Potatohead as manager

Have they no shame!

Just looked one of those cynical, tactical fouls players make to stop a counter. Yellow all day long but never a red

 

[chipmunx]

Any team that has let Harry Panayiotou score this season should have a points deduction.
Any team that has let him score 2 goals (over the 2 matches) should face automatic demotion.
And any team that has let him score more than 2 should be wound up and not allowed to reform.

He has come back from serious injuries before and got back to doing what he does best so I don’t see why he shouldn’t on this occasion.

9-12 months out is a really long time, his ACL op was yesterday so it's a long road to recovery now. Really feel for him

He's actually our 2nd top scorer this season on 9 goals

the standard of the league has obviously dropped since we left then....
