2017/18 National League North

[Swedes]

I can see Spennymoor having another game to re-arrange. I can't see Monday's game getting the go-ahead with all the rain and snow showers forecast over the weekend. Only have to sneeze on their pitch, match off.

Looks like a Bank Holiday washout for you guys then.

To be honest apart from the weird Gainsborough score yesterday was ok for us.

Expected nowt at Salford, my worries were more a heated derby tiring us out......injuries.......suspensions.

Instead yesterday we seemed to change game to a defensive long ball game turning it into a slow paced game, meant we kept fitness, no injuries or suspensions and nearly dragged something out of it. We created very little and once they scored it was tough, but the Nuneaton goal helped.

Expected Tamworth to win, now we need tob perform on monday

 

[DarkSithLord]

On the way back to Blightly now ahead of Monday at Curzon. Yesterday felt like a bitter blow. We are in a whole world of trouble. Gainsbrough's win has opened up another relegation place too if they do the business v NFU.

Our performances dont match up to the suppossed "quality" we have on paper. We are not creating/scoring up and cannot keep clean sheets. Fitness seems an issue as Lincoln seemed to have had under Moyses of fading in games.

Oh then there is our form. Won 4 of our opening 5 at home but since then its fallen off a cliff oh and more recently its 1 win in 8.

Lose on.Monday and we can kiss good by to the Conference North

 

[DarkSithLord]

I see the games at Blyth and Southport are off.

How do you rate.the chances of Monday happening BigDave?

 

[Harrier94]

We've dropped 22 points from conceding goals in the last 10 minutes this season....22! It's disgraceful we should be challenging for the league title but we're stuck in a battle for one of the lower playoff spots.

Eustace, Gardiner and the players have to take the blame for that. Yesterday was another example I wasn't surprised we lost. As we went into the last 5 minutes level I expected us to lose. Things need to change now or we'll have no chance of winning the playoffs.

We have a good chance. We have rain but it’s been short bursts of rain with dry spells.......nothing drastically heavy yet.

Season may yet need extended think Telford cannot fit many more in

 

[Hooped Wizard]

This league will never rid itself of the shit but loveable Gainsborough Trinity. :giphy:

 

[CFC4LIFE]

Marcus Carver can fuck off and take Jansen and Matty Hughes with him. Fucking Shite.

Yep, we faded badly in second half of games under him. In fact, his second half record was bottom and relegation I think - certainly relegation (7th in the first half).

You've got quite a few ex-Imps there.

 

[Prodigal]

Just to add balance, totally disagree with CFC4Life re Carver, Hughes and Jansen, but he is totally entitled to his opinion.

Well and truly, a weekend of no footy sick as fuck.

I can't see how Spennymoor can fit another game in the month of April? They are currently playing most Tuesday's and Thursday's.

The league are taking no notice of the recent bad weather situation with clubs struggling to squeeze their games in next month.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

yeah that is the worry, we seem a month behind weather wise, so first got hit with the cold posponements, now we get the waterlogged posponements.

I think curzon should be ok tomorrow, we have a dry day today the risk is heavy rain tomorrow but may be too late to hit it......next Sat i worry about and its us (already full) and Brackley (even more full up) to try and fit another in.....if the weather happens as expected.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Afraid tomorrow DSL if there was a call off it will be late.

Been dry all day today and been light rain at best all week so see no problems now. The worry could be according to reports heavy rain from 6am until 2pm will depend if it happens and how heavy

 

[Darlo On Tour]

Still waiting in anticipation for an announcement of an inspection from Spennymoor Town whether our game gets the thumbs up? Still this is Spennymoor Town I'm talking about, they'll probably let us know round about 2-30ish? After the fiasco with poor Bromley.

I'm hoping and praying the game gets the go ahead, but the weather forecast is rain, snow and more rain.
And that's early morning, and non stop throughout the day.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Pitch inspection 10am DSL

 

[DarkSithLord]

Pitch inspection 10am DSL

I see. Hoping they communicate the outcome quickly as we are planning to leave at 10.45. Isnt that bad here. Most of it washed away.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

i'd say it will be 50/50 and the main reason for an early inspection is to make a choice before you lot set off. Has been heavy rain for 5-6 straight hours but Curzon pitch usually good condition will give it a chance and rain to ease after 12.......so i'd say if playable at 10 it will be playable at 3pm.....will have to see.

Biggest problem is where on earth we will fit game in if off, have no more slots, would have to be a thursday.

FCUM is off so that is not a good sign. Spenny also off......their fixture backlog is getting beond ridiculous now.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Curzon vs Alfreton is off.

Southport Vs Salford probs will be off looking at photos

that is frustrating it would have been 100% fine yesterday

 

[Harrier94]

Our game is on atm Lucky Bobble we've not yet called a pitch inspection either. Really hope we're not wasting Brackley's time as it rained all night here.

As you say may have to be a Thursday night job which is far from ordeal with it being such a huge game for both sides

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

looking like not many today....pitch inspections called now at Telford and Stockport

I was just checking Kiddy's twitter feed as you wrote! We've been playing in mud baths at home for the last 6 weeks, so we should be used to it - less tika taka, more twat it and rush

Tbf our pitch normally holds off rain and drains quite well.

How many games have actually survived atm?

4 at the moment I think.

Chorley v Bradford PA
Harrogate v Blyth
Kidderminster v Brackley
Nuneaton v Boston

 

[Minstermen central]

Gutted match off at FCUM was looking forward to a new ground,but with all 3 strikers and best midfielder injured probably a blessing.
Hopefully some back for Saturday.
