Orient - doubtful - but Yusuff might score
Dagenham v Braintree - well they both can't win... so draw written all over it...

 

[Chief Rocka]

Feel pretty confident about our game, gotta fancy Luke to get on the scoresheet after his decent spell at Barra last season, might see Luke Williams on the bench I reckon.

Gonna be bold and say 3-1 Pools, feel free to quote this when we get piped.

 

[Benfcht]

Wrexham away for us. Big game at the top with 1st vs 4th. I’ll take a point for sure and it’s exactly what I think we’ll get. Our defence is strong and Captain fantastic Matty Brown knows Fondop’s game inside out. Going forwards it suits us better than the Sutton game in terms of Wrexham’s playing style as it’s not as physical and it’s more expansive. We can aim to counter with the likes of Kosylo, Southwell and Preston. However Shaun Pearson is a posing figure so we won’t score many if any at all. 1-1 i’m going for. However I’d love for us to nick the win and make a real statement of intent.

 

[Fyldefan]

It’s very rare we get beat on our patch yet Salford imo have the best squad in the league. Missing Danny Lloyd is a massive blow to them just as missing Montrose again is a blow to us. We’ll be so much stronger when he’s back. Said to my mate before the Ebbsfleet game I’d be well happy with 4 points from these 2 fixtures. So I would be happy with a point. Think we’ll get a narrow win though which will put us in a great position

 

[Tin Roofs & Stone Steps]

4 games ago it was disaster at Barnet, then they won 3 on the bounce. Expecting a tough game and a test of our unbeaten run at home since Jan 6th.

Given your decent start, how many do you reckon you'll bring to the Cae Ras?

 

[NolansOrient]

Unbeaten in 8 and fresh from a slightly undeserved 0-1 win away at chesterfield, its Solihull moors at home for the Orient. Last year we pumped them 3 0 at home and generally thought they were a bit of a joke, but since the second half of last season the moors have really impressed so I'm actually a little apprehensive about this one, beating Wrexham was a great result for them, can see our run coming to an end with a dull 0-1, but then our new loanee winger is meant to be something special, I hope he gets his first start tomorrow. Win and we're in a cracking position.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Confident of a home win, it feels weird typing that. Everything is going well but not getting too carried away. We've had some 'easy' fixtures on paper and the next month or two look a lot harder. So 3 points here is a must heading into a tougher run of games. I think we'll get them. 2-1.

 

[SuperHans]

I would say back to winning ways but with no goals in 3 games and Ugwu looking more likely to stick one in his own net - I'll go with a 0-0 bore draw.

If Muggleton starts then we might as well reside ourselves to a season of hoofball to a forward line more toothless than Shane MacGowen.

Pretty much agreed with this (score draw). Aldershot would have beaten us on another day if Rendell was a able to take simple chances. A point would be an alright result against the 'Fax.
Also, after a couple more signings we are now up to about 60 players, so be interested to see who starts (and is on the bench) for this one.

Losing 5 on the bounce all by a single goal that's gotta change so 2-0 the Wood

Ugwu struck me as an Allen kinda player. He's not on Akinde's level, but given his performances for Woking before his move to you guys, I thought he'd have enough about him this season. That said, Woking played more to his chest than his head.

 

[Benfcht]

Given your decent start, how many do you reckon you'll bring to the Cae Ras?

Would expect around the 300+ mark. Would be disappointed with anything less.

 

[BarraMatt]

Ever pessimistic, I think we'll slip to a 2-1 defeat conceding a late winner.

 

[East Bank Shot]

I’m sure the nation will be gripped by the Hampshire derby on Wednesday night - going to be a fascinating game that will have millions of viewers worldwide.
Feels like we never win on TV (except against Woking) but I’m feeling weirdly optimistic - our fortunes surely have to change soon. 2-1 win.

You'll be alright, the last three teams we've played were rubbish and we barely scraped a result in each of them.

 

[CFC91]

Can see us getting pumped at Boreham Wood in front of about 400..if the alarm bells aren't already ringing then they will be soon

 

[JaredSUFC]

We’ve only one competitive game at the Gallagher. We’ll probably draw, hopefully we’re not too focused on the Airdree game

I think Borehamwood have the more difficult tie out of the two of you!
Are many Sutton fans going to make the journey up to the Excelsior Stadium?

Why are you quoting and answering your own post, which was the only one on here, 12 minutes after posting it?

I’ve tried to book the night off work just to watch this but the bastards won’t let me so I’ll be glued to my phone checking Twitter updates instead.

Fondop missed a one on one too, remember. I personally thought we deserved to win the match.

I have no idea what Halifax are like right now but they always seem to have a number of brutes playing for them. I think we can handle them on home soil but they won't make it easy. Hoping Fondop can get back to his scoring ways.

 

[The Terminator]

Our next test is can we actually win a midweek home game for the first time in 13 months? The last side we beat at home in midweek in the league was indeed Solihull back in August last year.

Solihull along with Halifax the most improved sides so far this season, expecting a tough physical battle from Liam Daly and their backline, but they have goal threats up top these days which 13 months ago they didn't.

Not sure if Matt Harrold will start ahead of Josh Koroma, its the only likely change we will make.

 

[Fyldefan]

Werent Halifax flying beginning of last season?

 

[E10rifle]

Boreham Wood are extremely well-drilled, but entirely functional this season. No x-factor like they had last year with Andrade and Ferrier. If Balanta doesn’t have a good game, they’ll create nowt. Dire 0-0 I reckon.

Pretty sure we’ll keep our unbeaten record until I bother going to a game.

 

[Benfcht]

Werent Halifax flying beginning of last season?

Yes, when we were part time with a manager who failed to adapt when his only plan got found out. Fullarton is a fantastic coach and our squad is much stronger now. Think we’ll be top 10 definitely at the end of the season.

We’re not brutes now for sure. We’re physical and organised at the back but going forwards we look to counter with pace and energy with the likes of Kosylo, Southwell, Preston and Tomlinson who are not the biggest. Fullarton has us playing good football which has seen us stray away from hoof it to Denton under Heath.

 

[Master D]

Ben Tomlinson plays for you? Oh here we go, he's absolutely certain to score. About 30 of his career goals have been against us.

 

[Fyldefan]

You know what Ben, you’re the only halifax fan on here that talks sense. Keep up the good work
