Tuesday 26th April

[FGR Stroud]

Four games that has Exeter, Sutton, Mansfield, Swindon & FGR all involved in promotion / title battles.
Swindon v FGR is another local West Country match for FGR, just days after they played Bristol R.
Exeter should win and perhaps narrow gap to top of table if FGR drops some away points.
Mansfield could and will make a strong promotion statement with expected win.
And how are Sutton in mix. They've been under the promotion radar all season. Not sure of my geography but think Crawley & Sutton are not too far apart, so local prestige is at stake.

 

[Indian Dan]

The only slight advantage we have in the PO scramble is our goal difference. Can’t honestly see us getting a must win v FGR. 7 wins in 21 home games has done for us. Embarrassingly poor.

 

[Gassy]

Come on Stevenage and Barrow!!

 

[chipmunx]

7 Points from FGR, Salford and Sutton.....
and now we face Exeter, Swindon and Northampton, all who really need wins.... but we got 7 points from the reverse fixtures - so lets spoil a few teams seasons

Come in, its a horrible journey, you don't want that again next season.....

true..... but you can afford 1 loss...

 

[Sydney Posse]

Need to get over the line on Tuesday, so hopefully Barrow take the foot off the gas a bit after reaching safety, as their recent run is nowhere near bottom half of the table form.

we can still finish above Carlisle and ruin HG's summer* - so we'll go for it...

*HG will obviously start next season's relegation thread straight away if we do

 

[Casey]

Well, on Saturday we gave our poorest performance for a while (could be a reason for that) and I really don't see that changing much on Tuesdat.

Sutton are the type of team we struggle against. Strong, pressuring and with lots of balls into the box. If we get a point I'd be happy.

Not when we are playing the teams third and fourth we can't

 

[Conker]

Not going to easy against a Evans side.

yup - on the form guide over the last 3 matches only Northampton (9) have more points than Stevenage (7) and Barrow (7)

If you get a point I will be ecstatic!

Won’t this be Crawley’s first ever visit to GGL for a league game? I remember an FA Cup tie in 1995, which we won 4-1 and a friendly in 2000 (which we also won) but I’m struggling to think of any visits Crawley have made to the Lane.

We played poorly on Easter Monday and won and by all accounts we played poorly yesterday and lost. I’m not expecting a classic, our only two shots on target in the last 180 minutes of Football have been penalty kicks.

But we do need the points more than Crawley as we hope to secure a playoff spot.

Ruin my summer? Na, the shit we were in, anything above 23rd place is a success and can’t be complained about. Dropping a few places in meaningless games is no big deal. Poor performances annoy me, but couldn’t give a fuck where we finish in the league now that we’re safe.

 

[BarraMatt]

This stage of the season often throws up some strange results. Feeling confident tomorrow with the pressure off. 0-2 win.

 

[Sydney Posse]

Can Swindon beat Forest Green tomorrow?, if they can and we get max points against Barrow that will make our last 2 games against Northampton and Vale very interesting, and not just for us!

Id want to see a draw in the Swindle v FGR game. Stops Swindon catching us and also leaves you still in the hunt for the title to hopefully do us a favour in the final games

 

[Devon_Lad]

There really is zero chance of us losing. Zero chance of a draw as well. The question is, will it be 4 or 5 nil? We really need to eat up this FGR goal difference. I'll go for a 4-0 win for the Grecians, and a 3-1 win for Swindon.

You are a knob mate but I'll happily take your 3-1

Will depend on whether that bloke in the bucket hat and shades is fit for Swindon, and what sort of bender our wing backs have been on (promotion on Saturday plus awards last night).

I cannot recall Crawley and Sutton ever being in the same league .

Sutton were in the Ismishit ( )and Crawley the Southern League...maybe a chance in the old Metropolitan league back in the '50s.

We must be one of the few clubs you have a 100% league record against.

Casey

 

[Moomin]

Double nervous.

I don’t care how we do it, we just have to get over the line tomorrow. I think I will still be nervous even if we’re 3-0 up in the final 5 minutes.

 

[Indian Dan]

He’s fit. Managed 60 mins last Saturday before being subbed.

Heard your lot were on the piss Saturday night - and rightly so. Probably some elderberry infused concoction.

 

[Moomin]

We’ve now sold out the away end so it’s a capacity crowd tomorrow night. Atmosphere will be unreal if we go up.

We were in the Athenian League from 1921 until 1963 so it’s not likely we would have met in the Metropolitan League. Southern non-league Football was stupidly complicated for so long!

 

[EricSabin]

Think an Exeter win tomorrow would be best for us on Saturday. Hopefully they’ll all still be pissed.

we still owe Exeter one from 1972 - so we won't be rolling over Tuesday.
Phil Brown wants us to turn over his ex-team Swindon - so we won't be rolling over Saturday.
IF we soil those 2 parties your teams next up....
