18th April Match Thread

[Cardsfan]

Aldershot v Chester
Alfreton v Welling
Altrincham v Telford
Dover v Bristol Rovers
Halifax v Torquay
Gateshead v Forest Green
Kidderminster v Barnet
Lincoln v Eastleigh
Macclesfield v Dartford
Nuneaton v Woking
Southport v Grimsby
Wrexham v Braintree

Gutted I'm missing this one to be honest, should be a decent turnout and a comfortable 3 points.

Really need Gateshead and Dartford to do us a favour today, but as long as we win today we go into the final day still with a chance of making the playoffs, which is fantastic.

Comfortable 3 points... famous last words!!

Heading to weatherspoons in woking now for breakfast and a beer, is that bad?

 

[DarkSithLord]

Well game of the day is Alfreton v Welling yet BT Sport decide to pick Lincoln v Eastleigh? Something to do with the it being the 30th anniversary of the Bradford fire or something?

Anyways really nervous today. The game has been hyped up and advertised across the whole area and with so many local league clubs away we are expecting a bumper crowd. All I ask is that the players give everything for the shirt. The problem we have had in recent weeks is thjat the majority of this squad know they wont be with us next season and have become lazy. Just hoping they dont let the occasion get to them.

Its gonna be a real nail biter!

Yes, yes it is.

I wish it was the 18th of March, we'd still be in with a chance of winning the title.

What??

What??

Nice edit.

 

[GTFC1979]

What??

Duhhh McFly, he means one month ago we had a chance of the title, and now we do not.

 

[Greenacres]

Dover v Bristol Rovers (Home win)
Gateshead v Forest Green (Away win)
Kidderminster v Barnet (Away win)
Lincoln v Eastleigh (Away win)
Macclesfield v Dartford (Home win)
Nuneaton v Woking (Home win)
Southport v Grimsby (Doesn't really matter which way this one goes as the Mariners are already in the play-offs and need to rely on a mixture of catastrophic failure by the teams above to finish as champions)

It could all be settled today if the results go as suggested above, with Barnet up as Champions and Bristol Rovers, Grimsby, Eastleigh and Forest Green in the play-offs. However, I don't really see that being the case as I can't see Woking losing (maybe not quite as comfortable as you might wish), think Kiddy is a hard game for Barnet, reckon Brizzle will get something at Dover (likely roared on by an army of fans that would have been sufficient to repel the Norman invasion in 1066) and expect a draw for Forest Green against the Heed. So, to quote Fergie, it is likely to be squeaky bum time next Saturday!

Good luck to all with something to fight for, enjoy your game and have a safe journey home.

Can't we get shut of you both?

 

[Gladders]

Meh who cares, two meaningless games left for us, lets just hope we don't pick up any injuries or suspensions

 

[Luke Imp]

I think Barnet are up today. Just a hunch that Rovers will drop points at Dover.

Hope you all enjoy watch our youth/fringe players against Eastleigh!

Pitch at SB in decent knick.

 

[Sparrow]

All we have to do is beat a side that's been relegated. Easy, right?

Come on Dartford, Gateshead and Lincoln!

 

[Gassy]

Got a feeling it will go one of two ways:

rovers draw and Barnet

Or

rovers win Barnet drop points.

Hopefully the latter

 

[Nansan]

Expect FGR to be too strong for us today. Injuries and suspensions aside too many of our players looking disinterested in recent weeks. Mill's has said he knows who he wants to keep for next season and is going to make some decisions that will be unpopular. Expect some fans favourites to go.

If Macclesfield win today, then it's not all settled...

What? Kiddy are awful and are playing a team full of kids!

Alfreton and Welling care

 

[Harrier94]

Whild has said he is bringing experience back in today. But he's said that includes Josh O'Keefe so congratulations on your 3 points Barnet

 

[FishyMackem]

We still need to be playing well ahead of the playoffs. Form can do a lot for a team.

 

[yellow]

Hasn't this season ended yet? :jones:

 

[Greenacres]

If Macclesfield win today, then it's not all settled...

You are right, my post should have had Macclesfield losing, which I think would do it...my bad!

 

[Gladders]

We still need to be playing well ahead of the playoffs. Form can do a lot for a team.

Tell Kiddy that a side who won 9 and drew one of their final 10 then lost both play off games.
or Newport who drew and lost their final two games then won the play-offs or Cambridge who lost their final 4 games and their first play-off game before winning the Play-offs.

You can prove anything either way but form or no form makes no difference

 

[rudebwoyben]

It shouldn't matter to us what team Whild puts out. As long as we begin the match today with the same drive, determination and verve that we did against Halifax last week we will win.
Kiddy fans, Gash has started the last 2 matches for us (and has played well in both of them) so he should be starting today. I'm hoping that we keep the same starting lineup as well. No need for tinkering.
On my way up on the train now.

 

[Woodworm]

Barnet or Rovers will slip up surely.

What fans?

 

[Alty]

I fancy Barnet to choke and drop points today.

I also fancy Alfreton in that massive game at the bottom. A must for them really given their final fixture is away at Bristol Rovers.

 

[Master D]

Terrible reffing there. Almost as bad as the commentator in the match.

 

[miagsygas]

Think the title race will be done today, Barnet will win and we'll drop points

 

[Master D]

1-1. Tomlinson.

1-2. Eastleigh.

 

[Gashead]

Get in Lincoln!
