Tuesday 25th games

[Richard Cranium]

Mansfield v (C) Orient
Swindon v Stevenage
Newport v Harrogate
Grimsby v Crewe

Fully expecting Orient to repay the favour we did you at the weekend here.

We just can't afford to lose, if it's still in our own hands at 10pm tomorrow night I'll be buzzing. Be nice to finally get in the play offs and not leave the ground to 99th minute Salford winner for once

Also given the fact we allowed orient to win earlier in the season despite absolutely battering them .

Football isn’t that simple but i’m sure wellens wouldn’t be too disappointed if he lost last tomw night and helped fuck the tinpotters over. Maybe my prediction of us finishing above them isn’t likely to happen haha.

Hopefully a few beers too many and we can find that extra edge to get over the line!

Orient will have a big say on the playoff chances of three of us.

Their last 3 games are Mansfield, Stockport and Bradford City

 

[The Terminator]

Of our remaining games this is the one we're most likely to lose, because:

-Away from home midweek & against strong opponents
-Omar Beckles banned
-Meaning Ed Turns & Jamie McCart will likely play CB & both have looked shakey together
-Squad will likely be rotated due to fatigue/injuries
-Not losing Saturday due to our home record & lifting trophy is more important

We've sold 600 tickets, I already know a few that have bailed out now that everything for us is done and dusted, so we won't take more than that I'd have thought. The proper die hards like me will be there.

Will be happy with a draw, but after Saturday I and most others won't bregrudge Mansfield the win

Also do Mansfield now produce a monthly magazine instead of a programme? Can't see anything in their online store.

Mansfield have to get something, but the key game is Swindon vs Stevenage - Stevenage win that and IMO they will likely go up as their last home game is against nothing to play for Grimsby.

We got rid of the programme as sadly despite winning an award a few years ago it simply wasn’t profitable to do so, the numbers plummeted.

Grimsby v Crewe.

I’m so looking forward to this one.

Said nobody.

Why is Beckles still banned? Thought he would only miss the Crewe game after getting sent off against us.

Straight red for a professional foul and not violent conduct, I would that thought.

Or was it his second sending off?

 

[joethegill]

All Swindon aren't we?

Feels dirty saying that, but on this occasion...

Second straight red of the season, so gets an extra game ban sadly. A shame as we're much more stable with him in the team.

Yep. Dropped points makes those bastards the catchable ones and we can sail off.

 

[AnotherStagsFan]

We just need a point, anything extra is a bonus!

 

[Richard Cranium]

I really want Evans to fuck it up but karma will probably do it's thing and he'll get one over on us and knock us out the PO should we make em. Fucking football

No programme, but we produce an A4 coloured team sheet. Not sure you can get one in the away end, but you will find one in the hospitality areas.

 

[Mid-Cheshire-Alex]

Grimsby Town 3 - Crewe Alexandra 0.

 

[GTFCfish]

Grimsby Town 3 - Crewe Alexandra 0.

Based on our recent shots to goals ratio we would need around 55-60 shots to score that many.

 

[Bone Idle]

Nothing game with Harrogate tonight, so hopefully Coughlan will play a few of the kids.

Its a toss up weather i go to the game or head off racing at Foss-las

 

[Ainsty]

I'll be trudging down to Wales but I can't see many others making the journey to Newport midweek. We might just be able to fill the club motorcycle and sidecar. The elusive point which will make us mathematically safe would be nice but I'm not holding out much hope. Perhaps we'll be in time to buy some sweets and have a go on the Bouncy Castle.

Oh do come, we'll miss you if you are not there.

 

[E10rifle]

I’m expecting minimal effort from us tonight. Maybe leave the floodlights off until the paracetamol kicks in?

 

[Indian Dan]

Hopefully we’ll do a few of you lot a favour this evening.

Hope your right

 

[Conker]

Not got the players fit to do anything decent, we just need to start off quick and be aggressive hopefully Orient cannot be arsed.

 

[Kauto Star]

Come on Swindon and Orient, we need a helping hand now to even make the play offs

 

[BogDaddyO]

Mansfield to win tonight, think we would've won had the fixture been played a month ago as planned, but we're already champions and they're fighting for the playoffs, can see us not properly showing up.
If it keeps $alford down I'm happy!

So how many will you bring on the relatively short trip to Mansfield on Saturday where you have beat us on both your previous visits.

We were absolutely dead on our feet at the end of the game against stevenage, like you say hopefully orient don’t care and we get something.

Why don,t yous just go out of business and give us your place
Its only a matter of time after all.


Only joking, Or am i......

Just seen our starting XI and it's far from our best, several squad players in the mix so we're doing our bit!

 

[The Terminator]

No El Mizouni, Pratley, Beckles, Turns, Moncur or Rob Hunt for us and Lawrence Vigouroux has just limped out of the warm up.

If we get anything from this it will be a small miracle

 

[Conker]

Player of season off injured, we are fucked.
