[Railway Blue]

Another nail in our coffin tomorrow.

 

[East Bank Shot]

Woking away - will be tougher than Boxing Day. Depends which Aldershot turn up, if it's the one we saw yesterday then we'll get beat, if it's the one that turned up Boxing Day then we'll pick up 3 points.

 

[Raymondo316]

With our crappy home form I'm not expecting us to get anything tomorrow.

 

[Boz]

Some doubt with the wet weather forecast as to whether our match at Fylde will go ahead. If it does, hard to call, the hosts lack consistency, but if things click in front of a decent crowd, they could edge it. I’m going for the draw.

have a little faith raymondo. we didn't get to where we are in spite of our pre christmas dips, we got here because of them.

 

[Blue Lion]

Halifax away for us. This will be a tough one, missing Jalal and Hodgkiss from Saturday so really down to our bare bones with no recognised right back in the squad. We seem to have learned how to grind out wins without being at our best recently so no reason why we can't win it tomorrow. Expect to see a large away following as well. Hoping the problem corner of the pitch has had time to thaw out by now so that the game can go ahead.

Another nail in our coffin tomorrow.

You can win at guiseley you just need to match their work rate and commitment for the whole match, do not give them sloppy set pieces and watch the long throw .

Their full backs push up so bignot should be looking for balls behind them all their defenders are 8 foot tall so they turn like oil tankers so you need sharp fast balls into the box or to run at them as we did second half .

Loser relegated i think

They looked superb going forward at pp but as shaky as hell defensively playing a high line and offside trap, after seeing their keeper it makes me wonder whether challoner was playing this system to protect him as he looked decidedly shaky at our place.

Test him a few times early on on what should be a slick surface hopefully denting fyldes confidence in the process. Would be tempted to start kirby on the right to cut in and shoot/ cross for cook .

Need to watch smith and rowe they looked quality at pp.

2-1 rovers , norwood misses a one on one and we dont get a penalty .

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Heading down to Wales for some reason. Can't imagine it will be anything better than a narrow defeat for us today.

Hopefully the Wrexham fans realise that none of our teenage 'ultras' are in attendance, cos I can't be bothered with any shenanigans today.

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

We looked absolutely shattered at the end on Saturday, with Hodgkiss injured and a change at GK i'm expecting a somewhat adapted starting lineup (and 4 on the bench). Interesting to see who Askey puts at RB.

 

[Master D]

Ooh look it’s bucket collection wielding, little old top-of-the-table Macclesfield with their tiny squad with NO quality players in. Pathetic.

 

[WAW1980]

You ok hon?

 

[The_Boss]

Ooh look it's big old Wrexham with their big budget and crowds but can't get ever get a decent manager to sign the right players. Dee dums.

You know full well what our approach is. Sign half the Macclesfield squad each summer, try and get the manager and relocate the club to Cheshire. We just want to BE you, that’s all.

Ah, thank you for using our full length formal title but we're just "Macc" to old friends.

And now Chester have just tried to be YOU, but unfortunately signed the shit half of our team.

 

[Soup Ladle]

It's the day of the massive north east derby with Gateshead. I'm soooo giddy for it right now, like a giant hamster in a wheel.

The massed ranks of Newcastle season ticket holders descending upon this fine town will be a sight not to be missed, for sure.

 

[Mark kavanagh]

1500 swa heading ' oop north' today

 

[DarkSithLord]

Torquay v Eastleigh has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

 

[Chief Rocka]

I have a headache, please Pools, for fucks sake, give us a win.

There will be three changes to the back line today but don't tell Chester

Thought Kirby looked quite sharp in his cameo v Guiseley and think he or Harris offer more defensively than Cole in the wide-right slot. Hope you're right about the outcome.

 

[Etty Abrics]

My first visit to the Gallagher today, got a soaking this morning walking to Dover Priory to catch a rail replacement bus so my feet will be wet all day.

 

[Railway Blue]

And now Chester have just tried to be YOU, but unfortunately signed the shit half of our team.

You can say that again.

Not to mention you getting Durrell who was our 2nd highest goal-scorer.

McCarthy made so many mistakes last season and anything good he did was down to Ian Sharps.

 

[Railway Blue]

There will be three changes to the back line today but don't tell Chester

Wouldn't make the slightest difference even if they knew!

 

[Pablosammy]

Fylde have a great little ground here. Good acoustics for a small ground too. Come on Rovers!!!

 

[Monkey Tennis]

We've dropped our best player in favour of a teenager who's shown absolutely nothing so far this season. Can see Wrexham having a field day.

 

[B2TF]

Bloody hell Macclesfield if you can't bring a few when you're top of the league of time to pack up. #TinPot

 

[Luke Imp]

Hope Woking's crash barriers wee reinforced for this season.
