[Chief Rocka]

I have to watch that shite again, so soon!

 

[Optipez]

Six pointer for us at Solihull I think. We aren't at our happiest against physical direct teams so we may have it all on tomorrow and I'd take a point.

 

[Ban Fat Stan]

Absolutely no idea how we will get on at Aldershot. I still want to see massive changes to this squad but they have a habit of surprising us.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Anything other than a win against Hartlepool will be a massive blow to our players' confidence, I reckon - feels ages since we've actually won a game. And with Fylde to come again on New Year's Day, we might start to fall away.

Hartlepool's defenders seem fairly immobile from the last couple of times I've seen them, so hopefully our pacy players can run riot.

Also hoping a rejuvenated Sutton can do is a favour!

 

[AJS]

Chesterfield will get a rare win. That is all

First Harrogate pipe us 4-1, now Barrow fans are sticking their finger in the bullet hole and twisting it, bastards.

I'd imagine several changes to the side that played at Harrogate, Raynes probably can't play twice in two days, Hawkes was pathetic, Kabamba must start, he is our only striker and seemingly can't get a game, Toure is frustratingly good but is a wide man, that's it.

We'll either win this 1-0 or get shagged.

Would be delighted with a point to be honest, just the kind of team we may struggle against.

Going to be a very fun day anyway, not sure why this fixture has been the one everyone has had pencilled in for months (well, that Beautiful South song I guess), but we are where we are. Just a shame they’ve only given us 700 odd tickets.

Ha, not having a dig at Hartlepool as such - just if we get no wins from this or Fylde away, it could be perceived that we're bottlers.

Not gonna underestimate Hartlepool - one of the teams that beat us early on this season - but the defence is much the same as the one that was so awful at Holker Street at the end of last season.

 

[ForzaCounty]

30 goals in our last 6 games. AFC Fiddle-di-dee in middling form. Could finish 4-2 either way.

If you've got pace in your side, you'll run us ragged.
Our midfield is the slowest in Football history.

 

[springerbfc]

Need a win. Probably won’t get it.

Aldershot’s home form seems ok so this is a good test of whether our recent upturn in form is just a temporary blip.

After a mixed bag of results from Boxing Day, anything other than 3 points will most likely see us fall adrift of 7th.

And I’m expecting nothing at Boreham Wood on NYD so anything other than a win tomorrow probably nails us on for a fight to the death with Barrow for 10th spot.

It's close and a lot of us are off work. Just hope we are positive and start with Osbourne again. He's raw but he does make things happen and is direct, sideways is not his preferred option.

it's the Solihull Osborne that you need to watch - skilful player - but a dirty whiny little shit

 

[John Still]

Bromley are nice little price with the bookies for this one, we have zero chance here.

What does a manager at our club need to do to get sacked? We have played 46 games in 2019 and have failed to score in 19 of them, Taylor football at its best.

Bromley should be much improved with Bush back in defence

30 goals in our last 6 games. AFC Fiddle-di-dee in middling form. Could finish 4-2 either way.

We're due to score a few goals. Cant see it being today though. We're more than enough chances against 1st and 2nd to win both games. Just isnt quite clicking in front of goal. We're much more solid now though. Although saying that we need to get a few wins on the board. Hopefully starting today

 

[chipmunx]

Thanks to the cheat Kosylo Barrow go into the game at Hartlepool without the suspended Josh Kay - but if Hartlepool are as susceptible to pace as their fans say then Barrow should still have a good chance of getting points out of the match. Barrow will likely only make the one change with Connor Brown being a direct replacement for Kay at left wing back.
Elsewhere I'm expecting Yeovil to get a result at Sutton despite Sutton's improved form,although Yeovil's away form isn't that great at present and a draw wouldn't be a surprise.
Bromley should bounce back against Dagenham who are only being kept off the bottom of the form table by Torquay.
At the bottom Chorley and Ebbsfleet will probably lose at home, whilst Wrexham should win at Maidenhead who will end up the day in the bottom 4 IF they lose and both Fylde and Aldershot avoid defeat.

You clearly have not seen Maidenhead.
Not even sure we have a midfield at times.

Why are you even trying to predict these games?
Nobody knows what is going to happen especially at this time of year.
One mince pie too many can unhinge any managers plans.

or one inept referee or linesman....

 

[MrGloverLover]

Sutton's pitch is an abomination. Almost impossible to control the ball.

 

[chipmunx]

oops - did look like a bit of a foul on the Yeovil player there though

 

[MrGloverLover]

Balls. How have we allowed that to happen?

Didn't think it was myself, just bad decision-mak8ng by Hippolyte

damn....

 

[MrGloverLover]

Get in!!!

 

[MrGloverLover]

Terrible defending by Sutton

 

[BarraMatt]

The law states Barrow will never get the better of Dave Challinor.

 

[chipmunx]

are all the plastic pitches in this league the same? because as MrGloverLover said it does look awful.
