Our first of what is now two games in hand, but by the end of the month will be three games in hand.

Reality is simple now - We have to win, a draw is IMO isn't gonna see us putting enough pressure on Wrexham and Solihull. Win and the game on Saturday against Wrexham is setup to be a very good game. Lose and to be honest it will be a case of trying to stay in the top 7.

Impressed with Barrow when we played them in August, although they had a very leaky defence. We've struggled lately against sides who let us have the ball, but hit us on the break.

We deployed a 3-5-2 on Saturday, which did work to an extent but in Joe Widdowson and Sam Ling who were deployed as wing backs we have two players are full backs and not good enough to play as wing backs. At least Josh Coulson is back, we are much more stable when he plays.

6 of the bottom 11 teams playing each other.

Have Chesterfield had a non-segregated game yet?
They've played the mighty Brains before in the FA Cup a few years ago and won 6-0 - But don't think they've had a non segregated game down here yet.

We've only had one and that was Harrogate back in September - And due to the fact there was alot of grief that day I doubt we will have a non segregated game again down here!

It doesn't get any tougher in world football than going to Barrow on a Tuesday night needing a result.

Fans standing amongst each other? Well, I can't see a problem really unless a few people have too much to drink and act like c***.

A result tomorrow is really fucking important for us. It feels like a must win game

I’m really going to stick my neck out here. If you do lose tomorrow, you will still make the top 7.

And I thought some Barnet fans were pessimistic!

We should be at least level. Couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.

Good contingent from Orient, more than most clubs a lot closer would bring on a Saturday, so props to that.

We got away with that last night, in more ways than one. Luckiest first half I’ve seen us have all season - scored a lucky goal and Barrow had enough chances to be level at half time.

Second half we played a lot better and took our chances on the break - Bonne, Simpson and Maguire-Drew on their day are lethal on the break down here.

I don’t care how well you’ve played, to do what we did at 3-0 up wasn’t good enough, took our foot off the gas and Barrow got two goals they were worthy of. Thankfully we managed to see it out.

Evatts Barrow are a decent side, play the game the right way and all that - just lacking the real quality in terms of player that the bigger clubs tend to get. As much as Barrow played well - we could’ve had a few more ourselves. 148 away fans and my first trip to Barrow.....

I've seen a rumour that there'll only be 1 turnstile open to us on Saturday. Any truth to that?

Tell you what, the battle for finishing 13th took a few twists and turns last night. Riveting stuff.

I always thought we opened two. It will be a slow process getting in, fans who've brought big followings to us in the past have always complained that our queueing system is very slow at the away end.

Heard the same when we played you there a few months back. Wrexham will probably take at least similar to what we did or more.

People are really started to get pissed off with Taylor being so defensive, we had 5 with wing backs in defence and 3 defensive minded Midfielders. In his post match interview was absolutely delighted with a point at Maidenhead who are terrible at home.

We’re almost safe and the yanks have some big decisions to make if to offer Taylor a new deal.

I can remember you lot under Taylor coming to SB on a Tuesday night and despite the league positions, you played this weird formation with Tommy Doherty, Neil Lennon and Gary Holt in central midfield, sat right on top of your CB's and didn't move all game.

Peter Taylor tactics and negativity will bore Dagenham to tears

Is Taylor really that different from John Still?

Both achieved some degree of success in their careers but certainly my experiences of John Still sides are that they play the most basic form of football which is hard to stomach at the best of times.

Dull, unimaginative percentage football - everything lumped forward early, every throw straight up the line, everyone back to defend set pieces etc.

Very different, Taylor wants his team to use the grass and not launch missiles forward. Still when we had him was decent enough and put men forwards, Taylor on the other hand wants a back 8 excluding the keeper.
