2nd January 2016 Matchday Thread

Pitch inspection due at Braintree, what is the point, we all know the outcome.

And it's now off, quelle suprise.

 

[B2TF]

Torquay looked absolutely useless twice against us (through no fault of their own, admittedly, they can only work with what they've got financially) - I don't see much hope for them, although they have improved slightly recently.

Halifax will probably ride their momentum to stay up, can see it being a dogfight between Welling, Boreham Wood, Alty, Guiseley for the remaining spots.

We've worked hard towards that Conference North title next season, don't think we're going to throw it all away now. Onwards and downwards.

Tin Pot. Kick them out.

Works as our game in hand that sods law means we will now end up getting dicked by a late Rhead penalty

CHELTENHAM v KIDDY OFF

According to the Beeb, KIdderminster's next scheduled game is Braintree away on the 12th. So a nice three week winter break for them then.

 

[The_Boss]

Any likelihood of postponement at Prenton today Tranmere fans? Setting off in an hour.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Our game is on. Don't understand the problem with everyone else's pitches.

Yes and apparently you are giving us 500 covered seats, although that will probably leave 300-400 being soaked on the footpath at the side of the pitch!

Would be surprised if it was off, been raining a bit but our pitch usually deals with it quite well.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Our pitch has passed an inspection. But the referee said any further rain and it will be off. Looking at the forecast which says rain all afternoon. Id be surprised if we completed the 90 minutes.?

CHELTENHAM v KIDDY OFF

It will be all Gloucester City's fault. They keep agreeing to let GCFC share but moan like hell about it.

 

[Ian Richardson]

Was at the ground 7-30 with about 12 others. worked on it till 8-45 still wet but playable. Having tea/bacon sarnie. Heavens oppen'd and pissed down. Ref arrives walks round the pitch,Game off.

Tinpotters. Standing around, drinking tea whilst you could have been getting the game on. Buy a decent pitch.

 

[The Cards]

Fucking tin potters, non stop rain down here and our game is on no problem

 

[ShrewdBlue]

A few games is understandable but how are Braintree allowed to get away with such a dire pitch. Surely deserves some kind of punishment now, it's a joke.

They should just postpone all home games until March now as the postponements are as inevitable as Altrincham taking their usual 3 points against us later.

 

[Luke Imp]

They'll be at least one change for us today with no Waterfall (suspended), so I'm assuming this new LB will go straight in with Beevers at CB.

Wouldn't surprise me if Hearn and Sparrow return as well.

12 others? Thats the whole home gate isn't it?

 

[Tivvyultras]

thought i might take in Exeter v Dag&Red as our games off

A couple more much needed options for us, pitch looks a tad soggy!

 

[Pliny Harris]

Quite rare that we're playing when other games are being postponed, so at a key time I hope we enjoy ourselves out there. A win would see us above 21st for the first time this season.

Brough starts, Hearn and Sparrow on the bench.

I am sure Braintree would be delighted with 'a tad soggy'.

 

[Davidimp]

Braintree is beyond a joke, same ever season though.
Fair play to you guys for sorting yours.

 

[dan_wrexhamafc]

We've dropped Dom Vose for today and might be playing 4-4-2... Wrexham. 442. The world must be ending

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Is Dom Vose the guy who used to be at Peterborough and Chesterfield who does something weird with his hand when he runs? The guy who inspired the name of the poster 'The Hand of Dom'?

Edit: no, that was Dom Green. Disappointed.

We had him on loan I believe (Green that is). While it is slightly comical it is nothing compared to Yannick Bolasie (who we also had on loan for a bit). Bolasie looks like he doesn't know what he is planning to do while he plays, probably makes him very difficult to play against!

 

[Jemfy]

We're playing on a very stodgy pitch today, so there is a weird team selection quirk to suit the conditions. We have 4 wingers in the squad, 3 of them are on the bench.

 

[Davidimp]

A passing move from Lincoln leads to Stanley firing home from 20 yards !
Nearly a 2nd!!!

 

[Davidimp]

1-1

 

[CrazyImp]

1-1.

 

[Southern Shayman]

Farman keeping them in this apparently.
