[FGR Stroud]

Well, well, WELL !!!!!
Look at who is joint 1st at top of current form table : - CARLISLE
Bloody hell.

And runaway league leaders FGR sit one point off bottom of same table

 

[Indian Dan]

PO 6-pointer for us v Sutton. No doubt an aerial bombardment coming our way. Beat them comfortably at their place but we are still so vulnerable at home.

McKirdy will be back after his ban, Payne must be ready to play 90 minutes now after injury and new signing Egbo looked real good in his debut cameo yesterday.

Be disappointed to lose this one, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

 

[Chief Rocka]

There's no way we play as bad as we did Saturday here.

Need to drop White or move him back into CM, Molyneux will without a doubt start, Hughes has seemingly improved Bradford in the past few weeks so hopefully it'll be a decent game.

 

[AnotherStagsFan]

If we play like we did Friday then it’s going to be a big win for Port Vale

 

[Monkey Tennis]

This one really is a must-win for us against the most beatable team in the league. I can't see us getting three points.

 

[BarraMatt]

If we show some ambition up top we've got a decent chance of winning, defensively we have been OK overall, but we won't so it'll be another draw or single goal defeat.

 

[chipmunx]

I think we MIGHT win Tuesday if the team put in the effort we know they can. A win would put us 13 points clear of Scunthorpe with a game in hand and a GD at least 29 better than them - and them only having 9 games left - they'd be gone.
The other big things Tuesday are that Stevenage face a Northampton side who really need to win after losing to Carlisle and similarly FGR will be desperate for a win against Orient.
Oldham who's manager bounce seams to be wearing off go to Walsall who are in form and know that a win will almost certainly guarantee they are still in L2 next season even if they lose every other match. So at least on paper (I know it never works out like that) we have the best chance of a win out of the teams down there.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Its always dangerous playing a team who have just had a bad defeat, but still I can't see Crawley being as good in defence as Salford were.
Though it looks like we will be without Nombe again, so reliant on Zanzala or Phillips up front.
Pitch still seems to be excellent and I recall Yems liking to play football so I think we can look forward to a reasonable game an a 2-1 win, Nicholls with the inevitable goal.

 

[Bottega Don]

We have zero full-backs available on either side, gonna be fun

it's a good job our former Welsh international winger George Williams played 75 mins yesterday in his 1st start after injury then.

Thanks for all the positivity guys.

It'll be my second game of the season and the charm worked at sunny Oldham back in September.

 

[kieran_vale]

Important game for us. Need to win it really as is the case with all our remaining home games. Went back to what was successful for us yesterday and Charsley and Garrity were incredibly more effective playing in a midfield three as gave them license to break forward more. Things seemed a lot calmer at the back with Stone in goal too, it was only a complete freak that he conceded yesterday (and that was after a really good save in among that).

Would go largely with the same lineup but maybe give Hussey a breather and bring in Mal Benning.

He was terrible for Grimsby last year but he will still walk through our defense like they're not there

Mark Cooper could sub himself on and he'd score

Looks like we will be playing Mansfield reserves on Tuesday night.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Liking the fact that everyone is playing on Tues

You got a few injuries?

 

[BRFC_Gas]

[valefan16]

You got a few injuries?

Think he means because we have Stone and Charsley and Mal Benning.

Charsley apparently was decent yesterday, has had an opportunity with Conlon being out for the season and Walker being dropped.

Benning hasn’t worked out and would be his first start since December in the FA Cup if he plays and even then it would be down to our better full backs being injured (Gibbons and possibly Hussey).

Stone has had a chance because Covolan went nuts and Holy is shit. Did well by all accounts yesterday and seems a steady keeper.

 

[northstandexile]

You got a few injuries?

No, looks like we will be playing against Mansfield Reserves.

Stone, Benning and Charsley

 

[E10rifle]

Looking forward to a 15th game without a win.

 

[The Terminator]

We performed better yesterday and looked like we had a plan for the first time in a month, still struggling to score first in games though. Wellens seemed to get more out of central midfielders which is something that needs to be done, we've been terrible there since the turn of the year.

We'll still be good opponents for an out of sorts FGR though, I don't think they'll damage our goal difference too badly now, it'll likely be a narrow 1-0/2-0 loss for us now.

We'll take a decent following I'd have thought as its the first time we've been allowed to go there with fans allowed and with FGR moving grounds soon, it will likely be our only chance to go there.

 

[Randolph Haggerty]

Benning can’t do any worse than hussey on Saturday…
Never seen someone lose his man so frequently.
Brings nothing to the team, that would be my only change.
Should be a good game, looking forward to it, stags likely bring many?

 

[valefan16]

It’s a massive game Tuesday, in fact a massive 11 days with Mansfield, Exeter and Sutton all to visit Vale Park. (Bradford away in between).

If we can come through those four games positively we will be placed very well.

These are the games the players need to be up for and should be up for.

Hopefully with the 3-5-2 and Holy dropped we can keep pushing on and have a creative performance again.

 

[FGR-Star]

Looking forward to a 15th game without a win.

You are playing FGR! There us every chance you can get that win, we see Ed to be capable of losing to anyone at present!

Plenty more chances to attend matches at TNL for years to come.
Completion of Eco Park seems to always get put back.
Latest news is that it is on site of a Roman Villa and burial site.

10 skeletons found near Stroud

ARCHAEOLOGICAL artifacts have been discovered at the site of Ecotricity's new eco park and football stadium.

[Boz]

Need to follow up a good win on Friday, with another v Harrogate, their current form is a bit patchy. We'll definitely without Glatzel, whose done his hamstring again and Morris also a major doubt. Nevitt deserves a start after his goals, while presumably Hawkes stays in, but it leaves us a bit thin on the bench.

 

[HutchECFC]

I swear Crawley have been that one club when you look at results and think “yeah, that ruined the season” for about 8 seasons running.

Still, if we can get an early goal, we should be okay. Kinda want some sort of refereeing controversy, just for Yems’ post match presser. Although he ALWAYS compliments us. Even if we were to win 5-0 or lose 4-0.

 

[AR27]

Looking forward to this one. Hartlepool are still the best side we've played this season, albeit we were absolutely appalling. Team should have confidence from Saturdays win and I expect the good performances to continue. Will go for a tight 1-2 win.

Hartlepool fans - any recommendations on car parking?

Closest and the one we always park in is Millhouse Leisure Centre right next to the ground, you’ll need to get in there an hour before kick off like cos it’ll be chocker after that, I think the retail parks near Asda have parking cameras on them.

If you look up Murray Street there is a small pay by phone car park halfway up, about 20 spaces dunno how full that gets, other than that I’d say chance your arm with street parking around that area, a lot of it is permit parking 8-8pm and fair warning it’s rough down there but plenty of people still park on a match.
