Afain applying the no feeder league stuff disclaimer. You have your threads.....

Bromley v Dover
Dagenham & Redbridge v Aldershot
Eastleigh v Torquay
Guiseley v Gateshead
Lincoln v Boreham Wood
Macclesfield v Chester FC
Solihull Moors v FGR
Southport v York
Sutton United v Maidstone
Tranmere v North Ferriby
Woking v Braintree

Obviously the big game of the week is El Plastico between last seasons National League South Champions Sutton and fellow promotees Maidstone. Other highlights include the Kent derby at Bromley and the Cheshire derby at Macclesfield

Hoping to finish work early to get down to Wrexham - anyone know if they're still shit?
We need to win either this or the Eastleigh game at the weekend to stop our fickle fans getting on players' backs.

Slightly less shit.

 

[Chris FGR]

Off to Solihull. Looking forward to it, should have a decent number (for us) there.

Fun fact: Pre merger Moor Green inflicted our record home defeat way back in our Southern League days. Time for rvenge methinks.

 

[Luke Imp]

Boreham Wood haven't lost away from home yet.

We're not being ruthless enough up front at the minute. Performances are fine and we're creating chances but are a decent striker short. Hopefully we can sort that sooner rather than later.

Hoping mellons tactics of penning the opposition in their half as opposed to brabins on the break rubbish will see the national farmers union net disturbed a couple of times.

The leagues worst attack against its best defence... I fancy nfu to suprise us and scrape a draw their winger skinning ridehalgh in the last minute and it goes in off one of our centre halves.

 

[Chris FGR]

After tomorrow, 7 of our next 8 games are against teams currently in the top 8. Hopefully the Daggers v Shots game ends all square, be nice to go into those games 6 points clear.

 

[FGRJC]

Really looking forward to tomorrow, should be a very good game, can't. Wait for my five guys burger either main reason why I'm going!

I predict a massive queue at macclesfields ticket office, then turnstyle; with people missing the 1st 10mins and them running out hot water and food for away fans [emoji6].

Which Gateshead team will show up at Nethermoor tomorrow? They seem to be quite inconsistent at the moment and we need another win before heading down to a very resolute Aldershot on Saturday.

You looked a decent unit on Saturday, especially in the first half where you stopped us playing it out from the back quite well. Didn't much threat up top but definitely not the worst team we've played. Can see you staying up based on what I saw.

Our last three results at D&R have been two 5-2 wins and a 0-0 draw, I would take any of those results, preferably the former.

Thanks Chris, there are definite signs of improvement however against the best teams we have to expend so much energy closing down and defending we run out of steam to create. The next step will be to improve in possession of the ball to give our strikers a chance.

Predictable. But about right!!

We need a win tomorrow night to keep in touch, tough month coming up for us so need to be picking up points against similar standard teams to ourselves, won't be easy though.

It's BARROWEEN.

I'd happily take that too!

Wow.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

3 of our next 4 games are away to Dagenham, Forest Green and Lincoln - really tough few weeks for us and if we are anywhere near the top 5 by the end of that we'll be doing well!

As for tomorrow, I expect Dagenham will have too much for us. We dont score many away either, think we'll probably lose 1-0 or 2-0

We aint great away from home.
Only have one striker available and looked poor against York playing 451 in the 1st half on saturday going forward.

Nil nil is likely or a 1 nil either way.
Think I'll give the ticket office a call tomorrow to speed up the ticket process

Not again! Wasn't it some kind of fat owl running around the pitch last year? The whole day was a nightmare.

 

[Davidimp]

Will Boreham Wood bring double figures? And why is it two words for the football team and one for the place?

Midweek home games never fill me with confidence we did beat NFU but Altrincham last season springs to mind and the non event v Solihull this season.

Wash your mouth out. You're referring to the legendary Rockin' Robin there.

Owl FFS.

 

[Mark kavanagh]

We had a fat owl running up and down the touchline for a season and a quarter

He wasnt very wise and everytime he opened his mouth he emitted a pellet

 

[Bigluke]

Away at Bromley does appear to have a derby type draw feel about it doesn't it?
On the assumption that even Miller can not keep scoring at the rate he is doing, would most definitely like to see Lafayette and Modeste adding to ours and their goals tally, as cup apart, I think the latter has only scored once, and the former after a great start, one in maybe 19,10 games, something like that.
We also need to then stop the leaks at the other end. Okay Burgess Hill in the cup didn't test, but Braintree despite the scoreline did, and if we can keep a clean sheet, fancy us nicking it, if we can't perhaps a 2-2 draw

Got a feeling it'll be 1-0 either way tomorrow but not sure which. Will Evans coming back is a huge plus for us, but Dagenhams front 4 is dangerous, especially Guttridge who IMO is the best player in this league.

 

[Greenacres]

I'm looking forward to tomorrow evening, for what is our closest away league fixture of the season, and a new ground for me. I reckon we will take a fair few to the game, the supporters club coach has already sold out and most of the people I watch games with are intending to go. Add to that the fact that it is half term I reckon we should have at least 150, maybe a few more.

I would be a little dissapointed if Evans came straight back into the team. Nothing against him but Saville has done nothing wrong over the last 3 games.

First away I'll miss due to a poorly-timed holiday would be the closest one. Was probably the only one not happy with the re-arranged Aldershot game either as I'll miss that too now.

 

[Pablosammy]

I hate these 'must-win-or-the-world-will-end' type games. Still, I might pop along now a semblance of optimism has returned. Come on lads!

I wonder how many NFU fans will make the trip?
