Bored so wanted to to get this up and running nice and early.....

A mixed bag of fixtures this weekend with no "real" top of the table clashes, closest being top Bromley hosting 8th Barrow.
The table toppers will be looking to put the 3-1 defeat at Yeovil behind them but come up against Barrow who are 2nd to Yeovil in the form table.
Talking about form, Maidenhead aren't doing great in the last 6 losing 4 and drawing the other 2, they take on 2nd placed Halifax who will be looking at re-taking top spot should Bromley come unstuck.
Yeovil also have an eye on top spot when they travel to the North East and Hartlepool, the hosts haven't won since the beginning of September so it will take some effort from them to get maximum points.
Notts County make the trip to France when they take on Dover. The Magpies have won the last 2 and only lost once in the last 6. They have picked up since a dodgy opening month and will look to leap into the play offs. Dover aren't too much out of form but lost against Halifax last time out and have slipped out of the top 7.

Bottom club Chorley take on fellow relegation rivals Aldershot at home. Having had a torid start to the season they have picked up results wise in the last 4, drawing the last 2 and picking up a win as well. Aldershot have been very inconsistent and have lost the last 2 so it could be a long afternoon.
Chesterfield could move out of the bottom 4 for the first time if they win at home to Eastleigh. But it will be no easy task with the visitors losing just twice in the last 9 games.
The TV game has Harrogate hoping to pile more misery on Ebbsfleet, the hosts have won the last 2, Fleet have won just once in the last 6. Having said that Harrogate only have one more win that Ebbsfleet in the the last 10

Saturday's game at Bromley will be a fair guide to how Barrow are doing at present;- the highest team they have faced in the 5 match winning run was 9th placed Solihull, although they were lucky to only get beat 3-0 as Barrow used the last 30 mins of the game as a training exercise after Solihull went down to 10 men when already 3-0 down.
Any positive result will ensure a big crowd the following Tuesday and a baptism of fire for that ever so nice chap Nathan Ashmore when Boreham Wood visit Holker Street.
In other games Chorley should beat Aldershot, Notts should beat Dover and Halifax should beat Maidenhead who were poor last week.
Guessing the result and score of the Woking v Wrexham game is like 2 guys trying to play darts blindfolded after 10 pints of Stella - everyone watching will have a good laugh for 90+ minutes until someone (hopefully) wins.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Our home form continues to be utter piss, we've only beat Brother Wrexham who laid down arms that day for us.

Noble gone so at least we might see some set pieces reach Hartlepool players for a change, gotta drop Kabamba, he is far too similar a player to Gime, would like to see Niko Muir given a spell up front.

We'll probably not win and there'll be goals aplenty.

For any travelling Notts Co fans
- Yes the route from the station to the ground shows the town in a bad light
- Yes it is a long uphill walk to the away end {& the home end too]
- Yes there are a lot a of stanchions
- Yes the facilities are poor [no beer]
- Yes the Cricketers is a dive [drink elsewhere]

Hope you have a nice day

PS Any news of the kick off for the return game [clashes with a Forest home game]?

 

[Leewilson]

Daggers/Barnet is an interesting game.

Daggers are on a good unbeaten run but I have a feeling it may end here. I fancy Barnet to go close this season.

 

[B2TF]

Maidenhead Saturday, Chorley Tuesday, Borehamwood Saturday. I see clear blue water ahead.....

In the past 3 seasons this has happened we would alternate. So we'd both have a Saturday game and one moved.
However, despite our crowds we are longer a league side so I am almost certain we will be moved again, my guess would be a Friday, no good to you lot mind.

When it happened earlier in the season against Wrexham we were moved to the Sunday, this is possibly more likely given the distance the oppo fans would have to travel.

Thanks.
Forest are doing quite well so only hope of Saturday game is if theirs is moved for TV?

 

[LongEatonPie]

Yeah I'm just thinking the side of, it's doubtful they'd bring many anyway and I'd imagine more Notts fans would go on a Friday night.

The London suburbs 1000 home fans derby is always a Barnet win, I think with our defence being played about with this weekend we will get beat. Really don’t have the fire power to our score teams.

 

[springerbfc]

Big opportunity for us tomorrow. Our record at Dagenham was always pretty appalling but we have now won on our last two visits. Another victory tomorrow would cement our position in the top 5 and set us up nicely for the Bromley and Woking games to follow.

That said, I would take a point to keep us ticking along.

 

[EnglishRed]

Are Woking still good or have they gone shit again?

We really need the points.

Well their record is LLDDDD so something is up for sure. They’ve played a bunch of teams lower in the table in that time too.

Wouldn’t underestimate them though - Tarpey and Hyde upfront is a dangerous pair.

We're not great at the moment - drew with Ebbsfleet & Chorley and lost to Boreham Wood at home last weekend. Although last Saturday we created about 15 chances but our finishing was probably the worst I've ever seen.

We could really do with a win seeing as the two games after this are away to Yeovil and Barnet...

Pretty difficult match to predict. The only I predict is that BIG MOUSSA DIARRA scores from a corner if Dibble plays in goal.

 

[EnglishRed]

If you just lob balls towards the goal Dibble will let a couple in for you.

Must be something about the name Dibble in goal that just creates calamity:

 

[Master D]

We will definitely get set-pieced to death by that 7 foot centre half Part-Time Woking have.

 

[Like a Glove]

Sarll won manager of the month for September. So that’s us cursed for tomorrow.

 

[B2TF]

As I won't be going to the game today, where may I not park? Asking for a friend. Please advise. Oh and please hurry, as I'm not setting off in 20 minutes.

 

[chipmunx]

Hopefully the same doesn't happen to player of the month as John Rooney of Barrow got that in part due to getting 7 goals from midfield in the month.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Sutton v Stockport today. It’s going to be gruesome to watch. But today is a special day for me as I went to Uni in Manchester and occasionally watched Stockport, and I grew a soft spot for them. A great club and fan base.

You've nowt to worry about, I think you'll find we hold the CURSED adjective in this league.
