Bradford back in the play off mix - doesn’t this win make it 3 in a row?

Mansfield & Morecambe are only teams on current form with the 3 wins in a row - Bradford have 2.

 

[LS Bantam]

It’s 2 wins and 3 clean sheets in the last 3 but that’s off the back of 8 or 9 without a league win.

Bradford back in the play off mix - doesn’t this win make it 3 in a row?

This win. Oh dear no that’s not how this works, I’ve read this script too many times before. Beat promotion contenders then get the worst of the worst at home and be all excited to see the streak continue, it never does.

 

[Gunit]

Haha you will stick a few past us. The players are shot, think the last couple of late draws/defeats at home would have broken them now.

 

[Crewelad87]

We're coming off a massive high in beating Stockport in there own back yard and Harrogate must be coming into this game on the lowest of lows having shipped 9 vs Mansfield.

I'm really unsure how to read this game. Harrogate were previously in very good form but until last night that was against more of the weaker teams in the division. You would think there would likely be plenty of goals in the game, but it really wouldn't surprise me if it ends up 0-0.

Mansfield beat Walsall 2-1 earlier in the season and not draw 0-0

Notts County continuing their tour of Wales.

Parky to go back to tried and tested players against Notts. Tozer in, Mendy back in, Jones or Young in midfield and Mullin and Palmer back up top.

 

[Conker]

What’s up with Mullin? Forgot he existed.

Hard for Parky to know how to set up really, he’s been tactically very good the last two meetings but I don’t even know what shape we’ll play on Saturday now. You’d imagine the 4-3-3 from last night, but can’t be completely sure.

We looked a lot more solid with the addition of an extra genuine defender (unsurprisingly), but this is a bigger test of that. Going forward just keep giving the ball to Jones, he’s having the season of a lifetime.

 

[Pilot_Phonic]

What’s up with Mullin? Forgot he existed.

Been dog shit for a fair few weeks and gets absolutely no service. Not having Palmer doesn't help either alongside him.

Got rightly dropped for Marriott yesterday. It's about time we have had a replacement like for like for Mullin. I liked the look of Marriott, too.

 

[Master D]

Mullin is being forced to chase nothing balls in every game, it is criminal considering how good he is. He was making goals from them last season because he was too clever for defenders but up here they don't make anywhere near the same level of mistakes.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Found his level last season.

 

[Optipez]

Tough place to go but I'm a lot more hopeful of getting something from it than after last Friday's dreadful performance against Gilingham.
Can't see us changing anything from last night unless there's injuries.

 

[Bianconeri 1862]

2007 last time I went to Wrexham, won 1 0 with an own goal, think that was the season Wrexham got relegated, probably might be a little more difficult to find a parking space this time.

 

[AdamStag]

Another tough assignment at walsall away saturday, especially after the high of last night.

Walsall have been bizarre in how they’ve gone about away tickets, but heyho, i wonder if that johnson still plays, or if that chip is still injuring his shoulder?

 

[Alfie]

Mansfield beat Walsall 2-1 earlier in the season and not draw 0-0

Correct

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

A proper tough assignment at Wrexham. In poor form, bang average away from home for the season, and up against the team with the best home record in L2.

Only positive was the result and moreso performance at Newport last time out.

11/4 sounds about right, would be delighted for a point as I imagine the majority of the sell out away end would be.

He should just simply score 40 tap-ins a season like Langstaff.

Would take a point, think we’re going to Wrexham with a better game plan than usual though, I’m still nowhere near convinced we’re defensively sound but we’ll at least try to defend and then hope Jones, Crowley, Langstaff and Didzy do the business at the other end.

Honestly have no idea how visas work but would be nice if Jatta is an option this weekend although suspect it’s more likely to be next week.

 

[Greenacres]

Our players will be on a high after beating Barrow, ironically our opponents on Saturday are Crawley...who were the last team we had beaten back in October. We are a long way from safety but if we can win another game it puts us within touching distance of getting out of the bottom two.

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

The trip to the Racecourse is looking far more enticing than it did a couple of days ago. Never been before so looking forward to it. We’ve done nothing against the top teams so far, but hopefully the Brave New Formation will lead to a change of fortunes.

Can’t actually remember much about the first game other than it hingeing on a pretty flukey deflection and a minute later McGoldrick missing a sitter.

All he does is score goals.

Relieved to have got back to winning ways prior to the Notts game. I didn't think we played badly against Bradford, just didn't take our chances. We didn't play well at all against Sutton but tbh it's a hard place to go on a Tuesday night and the Conditions weren't great-hopefully itll be a victory that turns out to be significant in the story of the season.

I like Notts as a club tbh but beating them is always sweeter because I like to think about how unhappy it makes NottsCountyZone. Hopefully that will carry on amd they will become the second team after Sutton that we've done the double over this season-won't be easy though.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

I'm interested, does NottsCountyZone know who you are? Know you exist?

NottsCountyZone fell off the face of the planet recently. Weird that

Top all time league 2 goal scorer screams national league level striker.

Punctured his lung pre-season and hasn't been the same since.

No he's not. Terry Bly of Peterboro United hit over 50 goals in the early sixties. I know not called League 2 -- But still the same.
