Full set of fixtures - remains to be seen whether that’ll actually be the case with the weather.

3rd long trip in 6 days for Bolton, Northampton this time.

3 points would be massive.

Can't imagine many Lincoln are off on what will be a near 8 hour round trip to Blackpool on a Tuesday night!

We're without Jeacock (second 'keeper, concussed in a car accident), House with a broken nose from Saturday and out for 2-6 weeks, Duffy and the other long term three.

Big blow to lose House, he's excellent at leading the line and has been in good form so far this season. This time last year with House and Walker out we only had Makama to play up front but this year we've have Makama, Draper, Street and Cadamarteri so although none of them can fill the House role, at least we have some options.

Be a tough ask to keep the unbeaten away run going at an in-form side but with Orient on Saturday, then away at Wrexham and home to Birmingham, we could do with picking up points in the next two.

Crawley away on a Tuesday night with loads of weather warnings about, think I’ll watch it at home with a cuppa.

Cambridge away should be a weekend fixture. I love spending time in Cambridge.
We can't win away as its seems to be against the law, but a draw is not the end of the world as things stand.

Should be looking to get something from Crawley really, a defeat would be a disappointment for me.

3 wins on the bounce has been a real bumper bonus for us given avoiding relegation is the aim, added that we’ve still injuries to key players and not played particularly well it’s a real bonus. Would expect a few changes, especially expect lewis to start in midfield, possibly in place of Quinn, though i’d expect more than that one change given that’s not necessary a straight swap.

Crawley did beat us 4-1 last time round in one of the remarkable results of the league 2 season, especially as we couldve scored 6/7 ourselves, but you get these fluke one-off results.

Likewise though, crawley will be eyeing mansfield up as a way to get back on the points board after some disappointing recent results, i’d be happy with a point.

6th (BFC) vs 4th (us) in the form table (over the last 6 games), might be a decent game.

We have a generally poor record v Barnsley though.

I don’t especially rate Darrell Clarke as a manager (though I know some rave about him) but he has a decent squad to work with, so I’m expecting a tough game.

I’m going for a narrow defeat here, give us a short kick up the arse and then hopefully go on another mini-run.

Bolton fans will probably get to Northampton quicker than Charlton fans will get to the Mem

Sold 500 already for Orient, I'll be on a rare midweek venture up there.
Sounding like we will be without Aitchison so hope Cole is back.
Always a good game with them, hoping to keep our good form going.

Orient (a) - looking forward to it. My first away of the season due to a newborn making his appearance late July, so been settling into routines etc.

Would take a point, but always hopeful for 3. Magennis to open his account

Sean Clare is out for us, bit of a blow as he has been a very good addition to our squad so far with his pace and power. Dan Happe also out due to concussion.

Would expect Ollie O'Neill, Dan Agyei and Jordan Brown to come back into the team, hoping Dominic Ball can start again too as he looks a very useful and experienced addition to our squad in the last two games.

Would expect this to be a low scoring affair, we've generally played well enough but taking chances is an issue for us, had alot of games recently and tomorrows and Saturdays are the last two league games before our game with Huddersfield is inevitably called off for internationals, which will actually be a bit of a welcome break.

Our attacking options off the bench are looking a bit limited, Jordan Graham slowly finding his way back to fitness, Jamie Donley on loan from Spurs has tried but not pulled any trees up yet and Sonny Perkins and Dalliang Jayesimi both haven't featured in the squad now for two weeks - because both have been quite frankly - fucking shit.

We are in a real rut atm. Playing really poorly, creating absolutely nothing. Can't see any reason this game will be any different

Really need to get back to winning ways against a second-bottom Shrewsbury side. Can't blame things on injuries any more, and I really hope so to see something better from Norwood who's been substandard recently

At home to Bolton. Even if they have not had the best start by their standards they appear to have found a little momentum. We have a number of injury prone forwards and I can see Fosu and Roberts being dropped to the bench to protect them, hope it dosnt happen as we need our best XI to get anything out of this.

Going for a 2-1 loss sadly.

Home to Huddersfield, not sure what to expect from them, clearly should be doing better or should they?
Not too sure, we have to be better GK wise and stop giving silly goals away as it will cost us someday.

Hopeful of another 3 points.

Guess you never know but don’t see us getting anything tonight, 6 defeats in our last 7 games now so confidence is low.
Do think we will get going again at some point but maybe after the international break.
You look a half decent price to me considering respective forms.

Trust me, we are shocking at the moment with no signs of improvement. L2 sides could beat us comfortably

Not sure on how to see how our game will go. Again, away from home we are far too defensive and negative, and both sides have clean sheets galore.

3-3. :D

Got a iffy feeling about tonight, last time we played Crawley we put on our worst performance of the season and got battered, although we did win at their gaff last time out.

As with almost any away game this season, I’ll take a point.

No reports of any issues with the pitch etc but it is currently lashing it down and it hasnt stopped recently. Cant recall a postponement in recent years but safe travels to all.

We shall see. Our problem all season has been a complete lack of creativity. Earlier on in the season we pressed well, forced sides into mistakes and capitalised to score. Now we have the double whammy of no creativity and for whatever reason we are no longer doing our press.

Hopefully we take this opportunity against a struggling side to actually create some chances but I struggle to see it happening.

Fair play to any of our lot heading from one side of the UK to the other today in his weather, it's monsoon like around these parts.

At home to Mansfield. Gawd knows. We're iffy in both boxes. We have one coach at the club and he's in his first season so I'm not expecting much in the way of an improvement. We do tend to give teams lots of issues in midfield though. Maybe just put that forward a bit.

Anything we get until a manager gets a chance to work on us is a bonus.

Reading away for the charity bus from east Staffordshire. The usual 1-0 after 10 minutes is predictable and has been for a few seasons. We love giving other teams soft goals.
We will lose 2-1 I think.
Not going. Can’t be arsed.

you dont need to create anything just be ready when we eventually gift you a chance or three. We cant defend set pieces and have conceded the most goals from them in the division.
Assume MT is on his last legs now?
Yep he has spent a lot of money and appears to have somehow made us worse than Bartons side. At least we enjoyed decent possession under Barton, albeit in our own half (glad he went though)
Now we are just shit all over the pitch.

Crawley just appointed Gateshead manager, makes sense with how they both set-up.

Not taking charge tonight but I imagine will give them a performance boost.

Stevenage got a pitch inspection for 5.30. Shit that, given the players are probably already there and the fans are en route. A good 3.5 hour trip 1 way. Ouch. Hope the game goes ahead.

Yeah just posted in the Gen thread - hadn't noticed this one for tonights game.
That'll be a kick in the nads if it's called off after getting all the way there, as I'm sure a lot have already!
