[The Terminator]

From our own perspective, our next 4 league games are all against sides out of form or fighting relegation - If we're to win the title, we'll need at least 10 points from these 4 games.

We've had a tough last 4 weeks - coming up against in form sides and our squad depth has been tested a bit - mainly in central midfield.

Whether John Still was manager or not, we've got to beat the team that is second bottom.

Having said that, this will be a good time for Maidstone to play us as we're out of form and have a few injuries and seem to start games very slowly.

Last week at Ebbsfleet, we weren't at our best but we should've scored. The amount of chances we created but failed to take, to make a real game of it was criminal.

 

[Master D]

If we lose this one without scoring there'll be a riot.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Welcome back Craig Hignett for his... third? time in charge now?

If we don't beat this mob we may as well just give up.

 

[Soup Ladle]

If we don't beat fucking Braintree we are fucked

You’ll comfortably beat Maidstone as they have nothing up front without Blair Turgid.

As for us at home to Aldershot with them signing Mensah has made me a bit more nervous but we should still win this. They need the win more than we do so who knows.

Are Halifax going to let the Brotherhood down by capitulating against the EVIL?

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Facing Chesterfield having sent them on their downward spiral back in August. Are they still crap under their new manager?

A draw would be nice, and Evatt will be keen to impress as he clearly wants the Chesterfield job at some point.

Come on you know better than that, FC Halifax aren't in the Brotherhood.

[East Bank Shot]

Dagenham away. Expecting a defeat after last weekends shambles and Daggers are a much better side.
Not sure even the return of Mensah can save us this season.
2-0 defeat.

 

[Fyldefan]

The only value I can see this wkd is us at 12/5. Tough weekend for gambling. The odds look about right to me. Our game will be tight but I think 12/5 is slightly generous for us. We beat them at home 3-1 and having Dan brads back is a massive boost as he was excellent against Wrexham

Yep.. god knows what happens if we do lose.

More realistically we limp over the line with a 1-0 win, everything is back on track.. and we lose the next couple after that.

Fancy Mensah to help us to a goal tomorrow, but he wont stop you scoring 3 at the other end

 

[Red-Hybrid]

Will we score? Will we start our new strikers? Will Newell emerge from the dugouts?

All will be answered soon...

How dare you suggest a front 3 of something other than Rutherford, Grant & Beavon. How very dare you.

Maidenstone defenders will be in for their most difficult afternoon of the season.

Snap! Was just about to post similar. Usual triumph of hope over expectation, Have cadged a lift ,so a goal or 2 would be a treat, but I fear our shambolic defence will let us down . Mensah signing a real morale booster for the fans, and I'll be looking for a reaction from the team.

We'll win this one. It's beyond even us to cock this one up.

1-0 win with a Pearson header, probably.

I've seen fans saying that they hope we win to prove the 'naysayers' wrong. Beating Theresa May FC at home doesn't prove anything you melons.

 

[Chief Rocka]

We're losing at home to Braintree.

Braintree.

 

[Soup Ladle]

We're losing at home to Braintree.

Braintree.

It'll get worse when the same will happen against the likes of Curzon next season.

 

[E10rifle]

We’re lucky that Maidstonehead are absolutely dire because we’re nowhere near our best. McAnuff lucky to escape with his legs from a two-footed Simon Walton challenge. Ref gave them the free kick, natch. One more will kill this off, but I doubt we’ll get it.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Luckily for me I've got food poisoning so I'm missing it, can't even be arsed listening to it.

 

[Soup Ladle]

I'm there, same old story. Miles Anderson and Kenton have been the standout clowns so far. System is all over the shop, this squad can't play any formation at all. Useless.

 

[East Bank Shot]

We’ve actually scored a real, actual goal. Mensah!!!!

 

[Master D]

We've scored a goal.

Tinpot thread, please.

 

[Leewilson]

Awful today. Shots probably should have won.

 

[Chief Rocka]

I might stay away every home game, I'm clearly the problem.

 

[Fyldefan]

Superb result and a nice chunk of money won. Great day
