[The Terminator]

Big game between Sutton and Wrexham. Dagenham and Dover should win. Fancy Guisley to finally get a win as well.

I expect our game with Fylde to end up 5-5.

 

[Bendubz]

If we win on Saturday we become the last side in the division to be unbeaten at home. Think the last time we did that was in our Ryman Premier promotion season.

I hope so, the lads deserve another victory.

 

[Boz]

From Micky Mellon's pre-match interview, apparently some of our players can only play on grass (precious little evidence of that so far) so won't be selected for the Bromley 3G pitch. Haven't got much feel for how this one will go, but I never thought when the season begun that I would be wishing Adam Mekki was still playing for Rovers and wonder if he might be influential in the outcome. Adam was a good squad player for us and hasn't been replaced.

 

[Chief Rocka]

I've got no confidence in us getting a result at Woking, they've won 5 outta 6 at home, score a decent amount and hardly let anything in, Watson is definitely ruled out, Ledger is 50-50, both key players in our recent unbeaten run.

Glad to see us sign a striker, even if he's only played 8 professional games (and scored 0 goals) he's got to start, no point bringing someone in to warm the bench, Oates is just totally ineffective upfront on his own, just stick him up top with Franks and Donaldson alongside him and see what the lad can do.

Would be rather happy with a point, but think we're going to get fuck all here, 2-0 Woking.

 

[JaredSUFC]

I'll be happy with a draw at Wrexham, going top is a curse for us for our next game. Also Craig Eastmond is suspended and Nicky Bailey is still a doubt following his eye injury against Gateshead. Still one travels in hope, and as a Welsh type I do love going to the Racecourse and know what a great bunch the Wrexham fans are

 

[GTFCfish]

Anybody going to Gateshead v Boreham Wood had better get there early to beat the queues.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Macclesfield away for us, our result will depend on whether Jekyll or Hyde turn up

 

[Ronaldo to Wrexham]

Expect a hard fought game on Saturday - No Wedgebury for us as suspended. This will probably mean a return for Carrington. Whilst Wedgebury will be a miss for us, at least if Carrington does play he will probably be alongside Kelly and Wright which isn't as defensive. The midfield display against Guiseley a few weeks back was painful and needed some creativity to try and open up the defensive, time wasting set up installed by Paul Cox. I don't expect a high scoring game on Saturday (We haven't seen one in 12 games so why start now?). I would be happy with a 1-0 win.

Hmm, with exactly the same dependency from our side!!

I think the same can be said for most teams - As the league table shows, nobody is running away with it, and no one is showing great levels of consistency.The only levels of consistency we have shown, is to be pretty solid at the back, whilst not scoring many going forward.

 

[Sparrow]

We'll probably go top.

With no standout teams, having the standout defence could prove to be even more important this season.

As the well known proverb goes

In the land of the inconsistent football teams, Manny Smith is king

Manny and Pearson have both been immense, in the centre of defence for us.The back 5 has seen us use 4 different gk - 3 different right backs and also had Jennings out with a suspension. Despite this only 6 goals conceded and the main reason is their superb partneship at centre back.

 

[EnglishRed]

We'll probably go top.

And all on tuppence ha'penny a week.

If we win on Saturday we become the last side in the division to be unbeaten at home. Think the last time we did that was in our Ryman Premier promotion season.

The game's in Barrow???

Hard one to call, but we're still depleted and struggling for form, so a win feels unlikely.

I had the same reaction - then I realised that Holker Street will become the last fortress when they are put to the sword tomorrow and then stumble against Bromley (and Guiseley) next week.

The odds of this happening are slim

 

[Master D]

Reffing out needs to start early this season, there's far too many tinpotters clogging the top half up.

6 goals all season? Pfft, amateurs. We managed that in one game.

BT Sport should have televised it.

We're doing perfectly well ourselves defensively without Pearson.....

Still can't believe we let him go and replaced him with worse.

That's 4G pitches for you...

Yes, it is in Barrow, Barrow and Maidstone are the last 2 unbeaten at home so if we beat you then we're the last ones left

Ha, I had no idea we were still unbeaten at home! God we've been shite.

Well if by some miracle we are the last team unbeaten at home, it sure as hell won't be reflective of anything.

 

[Leewilson]

Torquay at home.

We'll either smash them or be pathetic and lose 1-0.

 

[fifaking]

Another 1-0 grind, hopefully.

Eastleigh/Chester has been called off

I'm nearly there as well.
