National League Fixtures - 14th September

[jacobncfc]

Altrincham vs King’s Lynn Town
Boreham Wood vs Halifax Town
Chesterfield vs Barnet
Dagenham and Redbridge vs Weymouth
Eastleigh vs Dover Athletic
Grimsby Town vs Wrexham
Maidenhead United vs Stockport County
Notts County vs Wealdstone
Solihull Moors vs Torquay United
Woking vs Bromley

First midweek round of the season. Looking forward to getting back to a game under the lights at ML.

One that we should be looking to win without too much fuss, you’d think. Wealdstone have had a good couple of results, so should be confident. We’re probably four points down on the results we ‘should’ have from performances, but a solid unbeaten start.

There is a yellow weather warning for rain and flooding in Nottingham and the surrounding area tomorrow, by the way, for any Stones fans planning on travelling up. We have a good pitch and it’s rare for a game to be off at ML due to the weather, but looking at the forecast it’s definitely a possibility if that proves to be right. Will likely mean a small attendance too.

Looking at that it should be sure wins for Chesterfield, Dagenham and Notts County. Lets just hope we can get something at Grimsby.... but not confident.

Over 6,000 expected for this, on a Tuesday night, in Non League.

What a difference getting rid of one man can have. Great start to the season from us but this is a huge test, looking back at the teams we’ve faced they’ve all had bad starts (bar Weymouth)

Thus confirming the theory that NL is indeed bigger than L2 this season.

 

[Son of Cod]

Yep, massive test for us tomorrow night. Expecting quite a tight match, but hopefully it's open and exciting. We looked well drilled at the back on Saturday, will be interesting to see what he does back there as Pearson is obviously chomping at the bit to play in this. Hard to drop Waterfall after Saturday though.

Any word on how many Wrexham fans are making the trip?

 

[Ooh Aah Paskin]

400 is the number being touted on Red Passion. But, take that as rumour..could easily be 600, could be as little as 200..
The journey and the supposed glorious weather may be a deciding factor to many...

God I hope we win this. There was already a minor meltdown among some fans after the Weymouth draw because we failed to beat one of ‘these teams’ - if we don’t claim all three points tomorrow night Facebook will be insufferable!

 

[Ooh Aah Paskin]

You are at home, you should win comfortably.
But we all know it doesn't work like that...

 

[Aberstone]

Hopefully the game goes ahead, I’ll be driving up and I can imagine it will be carnage travelling up on the M1.

I’m not expecting anything but unlike last year, we’re proving to be a tough out and so far have been difficult to score against. Jackson may start up top but other than that, I can’t see any other change to Saturday’s starting XI.

160+ sold so far in the away end if Notts’ ticketing portal is to be believed. Good going from us as I’ve yet to get mine and I know that’s the case for others too.

Anything less than 400 would be piss poor imo

 

[Master D]

More fixturing out, definite 1-0 defeat. Feels like we never score against them.

Dagenham after this on Saturday too, it's relentless. Just want us to play someone absolutely shit so we can smash them and say we're going up.

 

[karlready]

+ Insignificant Match at Roots Hall, Sarfend v Shots. Would like to remain off the radar if possible…

 

[jacobncfc]

Just want us to play someone absolutely shit

You’ve had Southend, haven’t you?

 

[DarkSithLord]

Woking v Chesterfield off due to COVID in the Cards camp

 

[Gladders]

You’ve had Southend, haven’t you?

And Eastleigh and Solihull

 

[Sparrow]

Our first throw of the Covid dice.

[Master D]

You’ve had Southend, haven’t you?

Yeah, played their cup final against us naturally then have been shit in every other game.

 

[jacobncfc]

I know everyone says this every single time it happens, but two games off for one positive test? Ridiculous.

 

[TheShayWay]

Not sure what to expect from us. Consistently inconsistent.

I'd take a draw at Boreham Wood though.

 

[Master D]

Our first throw of the Covid dice.

Noted.

You have 2 remaining. Everyone will be given an additional Covid Card to use in the New Year.

Not sure why it matters anymore. Why have these players not been vaccinated and if they have why are games getting called off

 

[pontoonlew]

I still don’t get the logic to games being off for Covid (and didn’t when it was us either)

 

[Seventyseven]

Solihull. Away. A point? Possibly 3. Maybe 0.

 

[Cashis]

We ought to smash Barnet by at least 3 goals

 

[#Beebot]

Can't wait for Devonshire to get Rusk and McGhee sacked on Wednesday morning.

 

[Sparrow]

Noted.

You have 2 remaining. Everyone will be given an additional Covid Card to use in the New Year.

Is this the best roll so far? Two games against promotion hopefuls off in the same week.

 

[Sparrow]

National League in a Covid CRISIS.

[jacobncfc]

Sorry, but the league needs to sort this out. There is zero reason why one positive case should be leading teams to call off two fixtures.

 

[Cashis]

Yeah this is pathetic, tinpot and cringe.

 

[B2TF]

I'm calling it right here, right now- we're gonna WIN tomorrow night.

The 2 clowns are both "otherwise engaged" at the minute, whatever the fuck THAT means, I just think it's suspicious the they're both "otherwise engaged" at the same time, on a Monday afternoon- what the fuck are they getting up to? Are they together right now.......? Anyway, they've asked me to put a joint prediction up here for them this week, and this is it: "If we play like we did at Yeovil, where we were shit and we lost, we'll get hammered but if we play like we did on Saturday, when we won and we were brilliant, we might sneak a win. It really depends if Wild has learned his lesson or not. We won't know until after the game. Either way, we've called it right".
