Match Day National League Fixtures 10/04/2018

[Boz]

Barrow v Eastleigh
Boreham Wood v Macclesfield
Chester v Bromley
Ebbsfleet v Wrexham
Guiseley v Dagenham
Halifax v Sutton
Maidenhead v Woking
Solihull v Maidstone
Torquay v Fylde
Tranmere v Gateshead

Rovers have what looks the easiest fixture for the promotion contenders, but Gateshead can be difficult opponents and have tripped us up a couple of times already. Would expect Sutton to win at Halifax, but the games at Boreham Wood and Ebbsfleet are harder to call, while Fylde will do well to bring back more than a point from their trip to the Devon Riviera,

At the other end of the table, can't see Guiseley winning their must-win game against the Daggers, while on current form Solihull should be favourites aginst Maidstone in a 6-pointer. Think Barrow will get something at home to Eastleigh.

 

[John Still]

Guiseley will beat us, play offs are gone and we have picked up some injuries with a very small squad. Manager mentioned we will start to field some youngsters, they could be all we have next season.

We rarely win a 'must win game' never mind six of them!

 

[Fyldefan]

We’ll struggle. Always do against teams at the bottom, really long trip and add in the fact that they’re fighting for lives and it promises to be a difficult night. Another must win game though. We play 3rd from bottom, 5th from bottom and 7th from bottom in a row so we’ll only have ourselves to blame should we fail to make playoffs

 

[doveranddover]

Torquay had 2 sent off Saturday so will be even weaker. Healy looked quite a good player.

 

[Master D]

Draw.

 

[Blue Lion]

Boreham Wood away for us tomorrow. Their recent form seems pretty mixed but we could be missing quite a few players with injuries and suspensions so I would take a draw from this one. I think (but don't quote me on this) that we're now guaranteed at least a play off place. Maximum of seven points needed from four games to win the title. If we could win tomorrow and Tranmere fail to beat Gateshead then I believe we could win the title against Orient on Saturday. Not that I'm looking too far ahead or anything....

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Expecting the worst tomorrow. We haven't been terrible in any match I've seen in ages, but there's something missing - a bit of experience or leadership at the back? A cutting edge? I don't know. But at home to Eastleigh has 0-0 written all over it.

Whilst not the only problem, I really don't rate your manager either. I immediately glance across to Solihull and see they have Mark Yates which is an immediate improvement.

 

[White Army]

If macc win tomorrow then I reckon they’ve got the league. If they lose and we win then it’s in our hands to take it to the last game at least.

 

[The_Boss]

We'll continue to be reffed out of it tomorrow night, too costly for the league to re-etch our name onto the trophy instead of Tranmere's.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

In terms of the players he's brought in, they've mostly been very good. Tactics aren't too bad either, aside from a lack of a plan B. Substitutions are questionable at times though, but the big problem seems to be confidence and individual errors.

I actually know for a fact that Mark Yates was interviewed for the job and was second choice behind Pennock. Obviously we can never know who would have been the better choice, though he seems to have got Adi Yussuff playing well.

All hypothetical of course. Through the reputations they’ve garnered, I always envisage Yates as a decent scrapper who can get results for below par teams whereas I see Pennock as someone better when a team has a solid footing in terms of league position. All perception obviously

 

[E10rifle]

Orient aren’t playing? I hereby declare these fixtures as: Tinpot.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Everyone playing in the top 10 apart from us and Dover - cant wait to see Sutton, Tranmere, Boreham Wood, Fylde and Wrexham all score 90th minute winners to leave us 7th and hanging on to a playoff position by a thread

 

[Bendubz]

Can we just skip the game and take a point each now?

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Noon pitch inspection at ours following constant heavy rain since yesterday afternoon.

 

[fifaking]

Draw.

We need the win in all honesty I think - not just to see off the challenge from Ebbsfleet, but I can't see anything other than wins for Bromley, Fylde and Dagenham (who we then play on Sat)

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Home wins across the board please.

 

[Huntsman94]

Hopefully a win against a resilient Gateshead and Boreham Wood to do their usual trick of playing well against the better sides in the league!

If we do win and Macc lose then things could start to get a bit interesting... Before Aldershot put up a performance of the season on Saturday!

 

[Raymondo316]

Sutton have just recalled the only half decent goal threat we had....so thats another defeat incoming for us.

We now gotta rely on one goal man Delano to keep us up

OFF. If you'd like to rearrange that for the Thursday before the last game of the season, that'd be useful, ta.

It will either be then or Thursday next week. There's no other space in the calendar.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Wins for Macclesfield and Halifax ends the title race tonight doesn't it?

 

[Tranmerewhite]

It will either be then or Thursday next week. There's no other space in the calendar.

You should focus on winning the final game of the season anyway, great to take momentum into the following season and finish on a high..

Or we win, you lose, and we then beat Orient on Saturday to win it in front of 623 BT viewers.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Surely it’d only be as high as 623 if you were playing away?

At Gateshead?

I hope not as we're away to Torquay on the Tuesday.

Don't worry about that, you'll be down by then.
