I learnt it off Hellogregory, lol

Positive energy, we can be suicidal and looking forward to Dorking away 10pm Tuesday night!

 

[Casey]

I'm going to the game but I'll be watching through half closed eyes and butt cheeks clenched tight.

Akinde scored 1 goal for us over 2 seasons. I hope he brings that form tomorrow night.

I’m already resigned to wearing a straight jacket whilst rocking in a corner dribbling on the floor tomorrow night

Could do with your lot shithousing your way through the game like you did at Valley Parade in the first game of season, no I still haven't got over it!, I will though if you do us a favour and wind up Evans and Co.

Come on Donny, you can do it

DS has sucked everything including shithousery from the players, today he’s basically blamed the fans for the players not being able to play the style he wants.
I’ll tell you what, I’ll buy a lucky dip for the lottery tomorrow, if we get anything from the match tomorrow I’ll be celebrating as a multimillionaire

 

[Boz]

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Dale win and keep this death by a thousand cuts season going for one more game.

Me neither.

For the Carlarl mob on here, where a good place to get some grub before the game? Will be planning to get there a couple of hours before kick-off.

There is a Toby carvery about 15 minutes walk from the ground, or if after a little better but more expensive carvery there is also the auctioneer/shepherds inn which is also 15 minutes walk away.

Otherwise the town is about 15-20 minutes walk from the ground and a few options there.

Cheers

Am looking for a beer + meal kind of place.

Thanks for sharing the fixtures, mate! It looks like it's going to be an exciting night of football. I agree with you about Colchester and Hartlepool's chances, and it'll definitely make Saturday's games even more intense. As for Stevenage and Northampton, they seem to be on a roll lately, so I reckon they'll continue their winning streaks. It's hard to say for the other games, but I'm sure there'll be some surprises. As for your team, it's good to hear that they're safe, but it'll be interesting to see how they perform with contracts on the line.

Thin White Duke is decent for scran, plenty of options for booze. Otherwise, the fanzone outside the West Stand features a few good food options, as well as various ales and lagers on tap.

Promotion will be 100% rubber stamped if:

We at the very least draw and/or Bradford lose. The only other way now to stop us is if there is a huge swing in the goal difference.

We'll likely make one or two changes, not sure if Ed Turns can play two in a week with his slight injury and Darren Pratley will likely be rested for Jordan Brown.

I think we're officially up if we don't lose?
Also if we lose but Bradford don't win?
Also if we lose and Stevenage lose?

Can see us drawing today, after Saturday's party atmosphere can see the players getting a little complacent.

 

[hellogregory]

Going by our expected attendance tonight, I think a lot of our fans have simply given up hope for this season. Can’t really blame them after our last 2 showings.

I will be there however.

 

[BarraMatt]

My night will involve checking flashscore while watching Alty v Dagenham, as I'm away with work and staying in the area.

Can you save the complacency for your final home game, thank you muchly.

If it stops stevenage going up we will, of course, gift yourselves and possibly Bradford 3 points each from our last 2 games.

Solidarity.

 

[hellogregory]

I think Stockport need 3 points tonight if they want top 3. With Bradford and Stevenage’s game in hand they can’t really be dropping too many points.

 

[Stocky]

Yeah the only way we're getting with a shout of top 3 is to win our remaining four really. Personally, I'm looking at securing play offs which is by no means a done thing. I'll be keeping an eye on Salford and Mansfield's results more than Stevenage, Northampton and Bradford. I also feel if we can avoid defeat tonight we can keep you there as a potential team to finish above. Because someone is going to have to miss out all together on top 7.

I think if there's a winner tonight in our game, that team still has a shout of top three but more importantly it would be a massive three points towards being in the play offs.

 

[dedwardp]

Would happily take a point tonight - it's definitely more of a must not lose than a must win.

Factoring in the huge goal difference swing, if we can draw tonight Crawley will need two wins from three or one win and two draws to have any chance of overtaking us, including the game with Hartlepool which they can't both win... so I think we're all but there with a point later.

We’re completely out of form at the wrong time, look out of sorts without any ball playing midfielders or a striker who can finish.

Best news i've had all day.

 

[The Terminator]

I'm genuinely intruiged to see how we perform tonight, we have to lose again at some point.

We can be lazy at times if games become a bit too easy for us, I'd expect Gillingham to be in our faces.

When we've conceded goals recently we've panicked a bit, so when we do let one in again it will be interesting to see how we react.

Every game we've scored first in this season, we've taken something from.

 

[hellogregory]

I think after last weekends results (particularly the Salford one), it makes top 7 slightly more doable but still a tall order given our form and opposition.

In my opinion we need 4 more points to get it and for at least 1 of those points to come against Salford.

Honestly, I can’t see where we’re getting them from the way we’re playing. I can make a case for us picking up 1 or 2 points max from our last 4 games, which probably won’t be enough.

I said at the time, the chance was against Walsall, given the toughness of our remaining fixtures. We needed to beat them for top 7 and we blew it.

Nerves are shot to bits

 

[saddler78]

Harrogate away only reason i care slightly is we can do Hartlepool a favour but do not bet money on it been on the beach for weeks now.Joss Labadie sent off on Saturday for a change which prompted our vlogger to brand him a nutcase we also have a few injuries so not sure what the team will be.

 

[Carver]

We've just got to go for it tonight, no more powder puff midfield and attack.

He'd better have changed the team because that midfield just isn't working and the fans who pay their hard earned money deserve better than that fucking toothless lacklustre pissy pants shite upfront from our last 2 games.

Cough *patrick* cough

Just fucking shoot you bunch of fannys.

 

[Son of Cod]

I couldn't be bothered to write about this so I spent the time that I would usually spend writing my pre-match thoughts on this instead...

 

[hellogregory]

A Hartlepool win tonight would be absolutely huge for Hartlepool and for us.

Please win.

 

[Sestonpoolie]

Not a cat in hells chance for us, we are joining the Dale.

Give over.
One defeat in nine, due to Askey dropping a clanger on Saturday.
Knows he made a mistake & will change things tonight.
