National League Fixtures - 9/2/2019

[Master D]

Excellent day for us all round. It should have been out of sight though. I'm sick of these nervy finishes to matches.

 

[Vanni]

No thanks to Pools this time. I'm waiting to read what SoupLadle has got to say about his lot blatantly disregarding Brotherhood statute and taking a rather needless point off the O's.

 

[Joseph Smith]

Seconded. If we win on tuesday the tinpotters will sit top.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Good turnout from Orient as well, decent atmosphere all round. Was a Proper game. That's all that Pools fans ask for, just a bit of effort and willingness. I'd still have clapped them off if we got beat playing like that. Obvious to me over the last 2 games that they're ready to put a shift in for Hignett.

Hope Cassidy is enjoying the positive vibe in the bottom 4.

I knew they'd bring more than 200-300, he's got no faith that Terminator, a Bates or Money Pools team would've been paggered today after their first went in, really hope Kabamba fancies staying on next season, he's still a bit raw but there's a player in there and that's 3 goals in 3 now.

 

[Vanni]

Seconded. If we win on tuesday the tinpotters will sit top.

What happened in injury time down at ebbsfleet? 4 men sent off in 6 minutes is a bit much I think

 

[Master D]

Probably just the usual Solihull thugs at it again.

 

[spireite]

Let's play a game, find The Terminator...

I reckon the Mackenzie Crook looking geezer in the middle.

Awww it's lovely that they get let out for a day isn't it.

 

[Joseph Smith]

A foul on our player started a brawl which saw Maxwell and one of their get straight reds and then two second bookables, Wright I think for time wasting, not sure, but good luck to whomever has this ref next.

Bring it on!

 

[Fyldefan]

There always seems to be trouble in Ebbsfleet games

 

[Red-Hybrid]

If only Akil Wright could finish...

I swear he could have had a hat-trick today. I guess it didn't matter in the end, but hopefully Hughes teach for the future.

All that aside, it was a better performance with Tollitt having a decent game with, I think, his last game with us.

 

[#Beebot]

Comfortable win for Maidenhead against a surprisingly poor Boreham Wood. Starting to look a lot more organised with a packed midfield and pace out wide. Should have scored more although Odametey stupidly got himself booked for time wasting then for dissent - we will miss him next week at Orient.

What are the odds on Braintree staying up? They seem to have sorted their defence out.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Even Mensah cant save us

 

[Raymondo316]

Looks like its a 3 way fight between us, Braintree & Aldershot for who finishes bottom.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Tougher than it should have been today. The last 20 minutes were full of unnecessarily desperate defending. But we did hold out for the win and it was great to see Roarie Deacon back

 

[John Still]

Knew we we’re going to lose with that line up, can’t afford to have the likes of Munns, Balanta and then Wilkinson injured and expect to get something playing three holding midfielders, baffling. Wrexham could have easily scored a few more but they are crap up top, the big fella couldn’t finish a happy meal.

 

[Soup Ladle]

No thanks to Pools this time. I'm waiting to read what SoupLadle has got to say about his lot blatantly disregarding Brotherhood statute and taking a rather needless point off the O's.

There was a meeting of the Brotherhood top brass on Thursday afternoon at 2:31 pm. (chief was one minute late)

It was agreed that whilst it was unlikely that Pools could go down, there was not enough weighting behind points fixing in this game. It was recommended that a share of the spoils was in order. Handshakes and brotherly hugs were to be shared between the Orient & Pools players at FT which was adhered to.

The exec outlined 2 reasons:

i) Pools were not mathematically or greatly out of danger
iI) Wrexham still have a chance of top spot.

Hope that helps.

As Mellon’s brought 2 wingers in, you might be able to loan Tollitt for the rest of the season, if your new manager likes the look of him.

Well done Braintree great win today!

 

[B2TF]

Well if we learned one thing today it's Chesterfield as shit as we are......

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Bottom of the table playoff at yours on the final day?

By the way, would you like Finney back?

 

[Lew]

 

[#Beebot]

I'm calling it now. Braintree to stay up.

 

[Raymondo316]

I take it hes gone back to being accident prone, controlling the ball like its a grenade, can't pass the ball to save his life and hoofing it long all the time?? I dunno what the heck happened to him this season, but he was brilliant last year. Its like he completely forgot how to play football when we gave him a 2 year deal and made him one of our top earners.

 

[Raymondo316]

I'm calling it now. Braintree to stay up.

Gonna be a tough ask for them to win at least 8 out of the remaining 14 games.

 

[Master D]

2 points above the drop zone. We are in massive trouble here.

You've got about 57 games in hand. You'll be fine.

 

[Master D]

I'm calling it now. Braintree to stay up.

No chance of staying up, but they'll come straight back, it's all they ever do. These yo-yo clubs like Braintree, Woking and Halifax keep reappearing in this league. Even right now I couldn't tell you whether Woking were in this league or the South.

 

[spireite down]

Well if we learned one thing today it's Chesterfield as shit as we are......

Well if we learned one thing today it's Chesterfield as shit as we are......

The league table suggests you could have worked that out before the game

 

[springerbfc]

You've got about 57 games in hand. You'll be fine.

We should be fine. Absolutely. However, we could be in the drop zone before the end of the month. We cannot be complacent.

 

[Raymondo316]

If things stay as they are and 4 southern teams get relegated, bizarrely its looking like Braintree will be put in the National North.

 

[East Bank Shot]

Seriously, i’d take 23rd place right now. We are down, plain and simple. This is the worst Aldershot team I’ve ever seen.

 

[GTFCfish]

Seconded. If we win on tuesday the tinpotters will sit top.

Which one?
The top 7 is littered with them.
