5th April Match Thread

[Shotsfan1993]

Must be about time to get this going, there are some big games tonight that could affect both ends of the table:

Aldershot Town vs Grimsby Town
Altrincham vs Dover Athletic
Barrow vs Braintree Town
Halifax vs Boreham Wood
Torquay United vs Chester

If we play anything like we did on Saturday then Grimsby may as well just turn up to collect their 3 points, turn around and head back up the M1

For the play-off hunt.. Can see Barrow taking points from Braintree. But think Dover will get the win to make them big favourites to finish 4th.

 

[LeWhites]

Massive game for us tonight. Somebody on our forum suggesting the biggest game in our history - not sure about that!

This is exactly the sort of game that we've been losing this season, I think we'll get beat 2-0 but we should win comfortably. Missing Modeste since his injury though

 

[GuiseleySteve]

We could well be pushed into the bottom four tonight without kicking a ball

 

[chipmunx]

we are aiming to take the points off Braintree (and Eastleigh next week, and Wrexham on the final day) and everyone else.
I can see Torquay winning against Chester because Chester seam to have no bottle at present (get your finger out Chester - you're a northern team so I would rather see you stay up).
I think Boreham Wood will get a result at Halifax - we've played both team recently and Halifax were by far the worst of the 2 teams - BUT again Halifax are the northern side so I want them to win - but doubt they will.
Altrincham desperately need a win - they looked ok at Barrow a few weeks ago, but apart from Reeves they seam a bit toothless - if they do tonight they will need Deasy to have a blinder - which he is capable of. Again you're northern so fingers crossed Alty.

If Grimsby lose again tonight, their play-off place could start coming under serious pressure.

Their next 3 after tonight are Braintree, Eastleigh and Dover.

If Aldershot are as poor today as they were on Saturday Grimsby want relegating if they lose - Barrow could have won by 3 or 4

You'll make plenty of friends down here if you do that

 

[East Bank Shot]

We'll either sneak a 1-0 or get beat 4 or 5-0. Grimsby are wobbling and if they can't beat us tonight then they don't deserve a play-off spot.

 

[Bluandwite]

Fear the worst, seen the team and can't work out who's supposed to be playing where.

No Heneghan either, damn.

 

[ShrewdBlue]

Shaw starts again - I give up.

Conny North here we come.

 

[Bluandwite]

Chester 'We play everyone out of position' FC. Looks like it could be Hughes at right back or maybe Mahon at wing back, although Alabi rumoured to be starting on the wing himself.

Give up.

Get in Halifax! Keep it up
Wake up Chester ffs!

 

[LeWhites]

Doesn't seem like anybody wants the play offs

 

[Southern Shayman]

Plenty of time to cock it up yet

Boreham Wood struggle to score 1, never mind 2 or 3!

Crisis?!

 

[LeWhites]

Why are we always so shit against shit teams?! So frustrating

 

[GTFCfish]

I love football.

 

[pontoonlew]

If anybody ever wonders why I've absolutely no time for Paul Hurst, the past week or so should go some way to justifying that.

Fucking garbage

 

[PaulHaddock]

This is turning into a fun end of season.

Fucking garbage

You have to say if he manages to balls it up for a third season, or if Grimsby miss out on the POs (?!), his position has to come under scrutiny.
