Would like to see us really go for it but think Molesley will go a bit more defensive. I think as long as we're within 5 points of Col U by the time we play them then we'll stay up. Beat them in the derby and then make the most of our (on paper) easier final three games compared to them
 
I think that we have a great chance of making ground this weekend. I can see both col u and Barrow losing this weekend.

It would be just like us to lose as well
 
They will know all about ANG and Ferguson’s strengths and weaknesses.

Then there are the returning Glen Morris and Josh Wright.

I would love to see us win but fear that they will have enough defensively to keep us out, Josh Wright would no doubt love to score against us and Tom Nichols is a clever little forward.

Didn't Crawley's slump coincide with Wrights arrival ?
 
Not sure why you would dump the Halford experiment so quickly. Thought he was a much more effective outlet for the more direct football being played. Not fit, not agile and no silky skills but 6ft 4in and a good leap on him which given how much time the ball spent in the air is pretty handy. The alternative seems to be more of the same and little more than a point a game.
 
I hope so but he is clearly playing through the pain barrier. Maybe a 20 minute cameo at the end, scoring a brace to add to the four we will have already scored by then thus helping reduce our goal difference.

Hmmm, that lunchtime ginger wine was stronger than I thought....
 
Felt that Halford had a decent game against Morecambe he kept there defenders occupied and shown some decent moves trying to bring others into play. Unfortunately our so called strikers we to slow in getting up close to him so he became isolated. Feel Olly if fit could do that role,if he is fit play him from the off rather than coming on with as a sub
 
433 and chuck the kitchen sink at em !!!

No! not akinola!! not after that penalty miss!! He offers nothing on the pitch and cant score anyway! Play mellis,egbri anyone deserves the shirt more after the carlisle game! He shouldn't play again this season!!

Acquah??? or you have a new villian in Sim?
 
Every form table I've looked at for some time now has had us relatively outside of the relegation zone but we're still there... For a while I thought - it just depends how far Port Vale fall - and the it was Col U... And I thought if we had beaten Morecambe we could still pull this off if we also beat Col U. Those two games could be our season...

I don't know where I'm going with this. It's just a thought I had when I saw the form table.
