You also beat us, wtf are you not already promoted???

It’s a travesty, I think the EFL need to look into their points scoring system and change something to rectify it.
Maybe some bonus points for teams that play on the coast or something.

I expect we will lose this on sat. Missing g our centre backs is killing us.

 

[Meadow]

MK at home. Due to their offensive badge on the scoreboard I won't attend. I've sold my season ticket to an overseas Dons trust member.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Town Vs FGR is obvious huuuuuggggeeeee, and game of the day in League 2. If it ends a stalemate who is happier with a point?

After that plenty of interest in AFC Vs MK, it may not have a long history but it sure does have a unique, colourful and bitter history that's made them undeniable rivals whether it wants to be ignored by one side of the equation.

Too much has been made of the pitch, it looks (and obviously is) a joke but the ball plays and rolls fine on it (when it hasn’t rained) and is obviously the same for both sides - the pitch we got to the FA cup 1/4’s on or promoted to the Premiership with were just as bad at this time of year.
Home to Notts tomorrow, have to score a few against them and hope the clean sheet run continues. Notts have played twice since we last did as well as us having a cancelled day at training thanks to someone finding an unexploded WW2 bomb nearby (how do they ever get lost??), plus Smallwood is still suspended, the lack of momentum after a great February is a worry. 2-1 optimistic home win nonetheless.

I dont really look forward to the games against Barrow. We don't tend to do well and we tend to play badly. It is also one of the worst games of football I've ever had to watch when they beat us 0-1 in our Conference days. It was more like tennis. Long diagonal balls from one end of the  court pitch to the other.

With that in mind I'm hoping we can manage to grab a win (something to nil would be fantastic) but I don't expect a thriller.

I dont expect us to finish in the play offs but it would be nice. I've never watched us in a play off game. I know all our promotions since I've Been aware of Crawley have been autos.

The rest of the division pales into insignificance when you consider the game at Blundell Park tomorrow.

Rumours the Grimsby fans are going to welcome the team coach in with flags, banners etc. David Artell smiling away, waving at the fans whilst sitting in the front seat. He's got them in this mess, the massive tit.

MK tomorrow. Isn't it wonderful to see how far they've progressed as a club

That broccoli will go well with my haddock, chips and battered sausage tbf.

Need a bit of greens so as to not be a fat bastard.

 

[Master D]

Cowley's poor start going under the radar with all this Artell talk. Man has won once since taking over and hasn't played a decent team yet. He's drawing his way to relegation.

Grimsby would be a lot happier with a draw than us, would keep them 3 points ahead with 2 games in hand and a much better GD.

Crawley v Barrow off.

Barrow looking at a hell of a pile up towards the end of the season if they lose anymore games.

 

[Pilot_Phonic]

Another royal popping in to the Turf for a pint ahead of our game v Accy Stanley...

Sometimes I wish our owners would stop sucking up to them...

Does mean 1 owner will be in town for the game to take the piss out of Andy Holt, who has said he won't go to the game.

Crawley v Barrow off.

Bugger - I had just updated my Dart Crossing account and reviewed parking/pre-match plans.

Would have only been my second game of the season and the only other I might manage would be the Play-Off Final - a slim and receding hope.

Hoping 16 April is the new date - unless they'e going to try to squeeze it in on a Tues/Weds around Easter.

 

[Chris FGR]

Didn't they finish paying for that bridge years ago? The robbing c***.

 

[Casey]

Game off....it was torrential rain here this morning and lots of roads were flooded but I'm sitting with my back to a warm sun and all the standing water has evaporated (I'm on the other side of town ... 3(?)miles away.

We have a decent pitch and drainage so I suspect lots more rain is forecast for tonight.

[BarraMatt]

In some ways by the time Tuesday comes around we should have a had enough preparation time for a fresh start to get us out of our slump over the last couple of months, and give some tired looking bodies some rest.

But the immediate flip side is that I'm not sure whether our squad could withstand 13 games in 8 weeks or whatever it is, playing Saturday-Tuesday until the end of the season now. However, if we get some momentum going again it may be better to keep the games coming thick and fast.

 

[Greenacres]

Grimsby would be a lot happier with a draw than us, would keep them 3 points ahead with 2 games in hand and a much better GD.

Agree totally, victory for us tomorrow would be three wins in five league games, something we probably haven't achieved since the first half of the promotion season, which might indicate we have turned a corner and avoiding relegation becomes possible if a bit unlikely. Most of our possibly winnable games are in March, against Grimsby, Bradford, Sutton and Donny Rovers...after that the remainder of the season looks pretty horrific.

 

[dan_wrexhamafc]

Hope we lose for letting them lot in the ground again

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

What’s the crack Bradford fans, any chance of the game getting called off tomorrow, forecast is crap.

 

[Jonny12]

Walsall away, probably fair to say our unbeaten streak will come to an end given the form they are in.

Mo Faal to come on and score is an absolute guarantee.

If only George Miller or Caolan Lavery were fit, then you'd have two guaranteed away goals.

 

[クレイグ]

I'd say no chance of it being off.

 

[Optipez]

I'd say no chance of it being off.

Hope not, train booked and despite pretty low expectations I'm looking forward to a new ground. Don't know why I've not been before but somehow never have.

I think you'll beat us tomorrow. I never fancy us when teams come here without a win in four or five games or when they're on a losing streak.

Hope you enjoy your visit to VP. It's a solid away day imo.

Just arrived home from work. Massive storm unloaded on us. Hail, rain & sleet. The roads were rivers! More predicted.

Row, Row, Row your boat gently to the shore.

DA capturing the spirit of Wembley 16…he will be ear-cupping the Pontoon after his first signing, a Cov loanee, clinches it in added time. Paul Hurst said we’d win the play-off final (despite absolutely shite end of season form) and DA has said, several times, we won’t be relegated…

We do appear to be drawing our way to relegation at the moment, yes. I certainly wouldn't put that on the Cowleys though, we've been much better in near enough every metric since they came in and the side really should have four or five more points from their games - but there's not a lot they or anyone else can do about silly individual errors gifting away a goal every match.

The upcoming fixture list is becoming a concern now though, it's a tough month ahead.

Make sure you get a bet on beforehand then to cash in on the big odds for an away win.

I'd be amazed frankly. Had a go at picking a team for tomorrow on Notts Mad and any way I did it keeper and defence looked dodgy and midfield a bit short of bite.
We've apparantly been better away recently but apart from Newport where we did play very well of our last eight away games we've P8 W1 D1 L6.
