Don’t know if this has been mentioned on here already. Reading the programme for match today they have a page about the opponent’s today and has Southend at the top but the write up is about Gateshead!!

3-0 to Wood

 

[Happyshrimp]

Halifax also have Oldham at home

 

[Billy was Best]

The Wood three up now.

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Those silly draws hurt even more now, don’t they!

But when I said that it was more important to remain unbeaten ..

Ar okay thanks. Let's hope it's a war of the roses... Oldham on the beach. But Halifax are going to pick up points against Eastleigh and Ebbsfleet. ...but just maybe not.

 

[Happyshrimp]

I can’t see aldershot getting much out of Gateshead or Dagenham it’s really in Halifax’s hands but will 3 games tues thurs sat take there toll on them

 

[Happyshrimp]

As well not helpful to Halifax that they are playing home games somewhere else

 

[Rob1920]

Aldershot have properly blown this one.

 

[Lincoln Shrimp]

Great, controlled performance. I really enjoyed the way we passed the ball around them all afternoon, sapping what little energy they had left having played 40 hours earlier.
Waldron could have had 5 today, but to be honest it was just fantastic to see him getting into those scoring positions.

Suddenly my eyes are glued to that league table.
We couldn't sneak into those play offs could we?!
It would be nothing less than our players deserved after everything they've had to go through this season.

Yeh in Halifax's hands. They play mid-table Eastleigh first and not sure the Spitfires will be that bothered. Ebbsfleet though are slugging it out for survival so Halifax could draw a blank against them.

 

[Billy was Best]

So the Wood win, or more interesting for the Blues - Aldershot lose. Need four from two against good opposition so I think they're gone. ...Don't hold your breath, but we're in with a chance for the playoffs. Oooo Halifax to fall away and we put Rochdale to the sword. The play off contenders won't want us there either.

Boreham wood winning has helped us. Ebbsfleet will be massively up for their game at Halifax as a win will all but seal their safety with boreham wood looking to catch them after today's win.

If Halifax only managed 2 draws from their final 3 games and we beat Rochdale, it will be enough due to goal difference. Obviously, 3 points in any game would sink us.

If only there werea few more games to play. I'd fancy us for the play offs and in them as well.

Back in the trenches everyone, we've still got work to do.

Am I right in thinking our record run of games unbeaten stands at 16, or have I made that up in my head?
