Pay what you want on pre-paid tickets at our place tomorrow (well, minimum of £1) so I imagine that's been abused by home and away fans, particularly the latter, and everyone's paid a quid. Normal rates on match day.

Only injury is Diagne apparently. Power suspended. Hopefully Miller will be back in.

 

[Southern Shayman]

Desperately need the win against Dover tomorrow. Both because we need points on the board psychologically and to get some fans over the breakdown they've had about the Wrexham defeat

But B2TF said nobody in Halifax gave a fuck about it, don't tell me he was talking bollocks......

 

[ComeOnIrene]

Huge, huge game for us at Grimsby. If we still have ambitions of winning the title then we need to go there and win, as difficult as that is, because we can't afford to drop any more points. Having said that, it's important that we don't allow Grimsby to gain 3 points on us considering they have a game in hand.

A draw wouldn't be a disaster in that sense, but sooner or later we are going to go away and win comfortably given the number of chances we create and it would be ruddy mint if it happened tomorrow. Too nervous to predict with any confidence though!

 

[Aber gas]

A point at Grimsby would be a good result normally but we really need to win this . I'm going for a 1-2 gas win but with no real degree of confidence .

 

[Railway Blue]

I read on our forum that our old player Sean Newton has gone to Notts County and isn't Jordan also suspended?

 

[Lew]

Next three games are Welling, Alfreton & Dartford. All sides somehow below us in the table. Really need a win tomorrow against Welling but I'm not holding my breath. Barker needs to implement his own ideas instead of playing exactly how we did under the genius.

I fear anything less than 9 points from those three matches will leave us in big trouble.

 

[Chris FGR]

Well Alty away is always a trip to, erm, look forward to, although our record there isn't the greatest.

Both sides are in good form so it should be a tight game, we need to keep winning though to keep making it as difficult as possible for the teams below with games in hand to overtake us.

Expect Parkin to score.

Nope, only 1 game bans for DOGSO.

3 is only for violent conduct/reckless challenges.

 

[BeesKnees]

Wrexham have beaten us once already and appear to be improving. Tough game that I would be happy to get a point from. Hoping Conor Clifford plays a part, really impressed with his ability to close down and give the opponents no time or space.

 

[Clarkey_GTFC]

Sneaky feeling we'll lose comfortably. 0-2.

 

[Ban Fat Stan]

Massive opportunity for the Bees to open up the gap, if results go our way.

Honestly have no idea what Wrexham are like other than seeing where they sit in the league. This should be 3 points we will have much harder away games to come.

Standard prediction of either a 1 or 2 goal lead at half time.. Probably akinde with a penalty

Second half we concede and defend for our lives for 25 minutes.

Job done.

 

[The_Boss]

Got that horrible confident feeling going into an away game, so fully expect our worst performance of season. 2-0 Southport

 

[Bluandwite]

Nice opportunity for us to jump a couple of places if results go our way tomorrow, being pretty much in the middle of the mid-table cluster separated by a small number of points. Tough to go and break Lincoln's run at Sincil Bank, but I suppose it's got to break at some point, we're in top nick so every chance hopefully.

I don't think we have anyone out, James is back from his suspension although this is Abbott's last game on his loan from Barnsley, hope to extend it but with Wilson now gone you never know.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

The top 4 all draw and we move on to the next game. Sounds fair.

 

[Sparrow]

Anything but a defeat would probably be alright I guess. I don't think Kidderminster are to be feared at all so realistically we need to winning this if we're going to be the ones in 5th spot at the end of the season.

 

[Harrier94]

Not confident the game will be on truth be told, been raining on and off most of the day and still raining now.

But if it is on I'm not expecting us to win but saying that Woking haven't won away since November so there's some hope. And with Lee Hughes returning we've hopefully got someone that can find the net.

 

[Pliny Harris]

But B2TF said nobody in Halifax gave a fuck about it, don't tell me he was talking bollocks......

Bit of a #meltdown on theshaymen.net from some following that defeat. As if we'd got to the final of the FA Cup and lost to Holker Old Boys, minus any "at least we got this far" element.

 

[Red-Hybrid]

We certainly need a win in the league and considering the opposition, it would be typical of us to get it here. Of course it's also our only league game we have left due to the trophy games later on.

Storer and Finley have to start tomorrow. Probably York as well.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Our last 5 results: LLLLL
Welling's last 5 results: LLLLL

Somethings got to give tomorrow, hoping home advantage will just about favour us and we will sneak the win - but whoever wins I dont think it will be pretty...

 

[DarkSithLord]

Apparently our game at Braintree is in doubt? Am I surprised? No. Not in the slightest. Ever since the day I looked at the fixtures I had this one down as called off.

 

[CrazyImp]

We'll win. Whatever, who cares.

 

[Urban]

Wrexham are the only team in the league who have stopped us scoring this season, and our away form isn't great IMO. This will not be easy. Will need a much better performance than the one against Woking.

Grimsby draw and Southport win please.

 

[Master D]

Apparently Wilkin has introduced some new training methods this week ahead of the Barnet game, he's had all the players in for double hypnotherapy sessions. He was seen dangling a pendulum in front of them, speaking in his slowest, creepiest voice "You are playing in a Cup match, you are in the zone, this is not a league match". Etc etc. Has previously tried the method on Andy Bishop to convince him he's a striker still with fully functioning legs, but patient response has shown middling to poor results so far.

0-2 Barnet.

 

[Deuce_Bigalow]

Woke up with a banging hangover ready for a trip to Southport, lets hope its worth it!

 

[BeesKnees]

M40 & M1 knackered
Hopefully the players and fans coaches haven't made the same mistakes as they did for Chester and Bristol.

Don't your players stay over in hotel if it's a long journey?

 

[BeesKnees]

Not if it can be helped. I think the players arrived twenty minutes before kick off for the Chester game.

 

[Laika]

Well, I certainly hope that the Barnet players don't have such a stressful journey that it affects their performance in the match. That would be terrible.
