National League Fixtures - 2/4/2019

[The Terminator]

Fylde v Dag & Red
Bromley v Leyton Orient
Eastleigh v Barnet

 

[The Terminator]

I don't think I can handle much more of this.

 

[E10rifle]

Can see Bromley running the legs off of our knackered, injury-riddled side. Though to be honest they should do the honourable thing and roll over after their disgusting display of cowardice at the weekend.

A win could take us up into the top half - real nose bleed territory!

Our last five games have been 0-0, 2-0, 0-0, 1-0, 0-0. A goal fest is probably not on the cards tomorrow night...

If we can continue to be dogged at the back, that of course gives us a chance but we are really struggling for goals so a narrow defeat or bore draw is probably most likely.

that's my money going on over 6.5 goals then...

Big games for Fylde, Orient and Eastleigh;-

Fylde is a heck of a journey midweek from Dagenham so Fylde should win;
Orient are getting the jitters a bit - a draw wouldn't be a disaster - but think they might sneak a 1-0 win here.
Eastleigh seam better away from home at present, but Barnet are safe - so could either be a boring 0-0 or a free flowing 4-3 either way

I'm not sure you can describe WWWWWWWWD as the jitters mate.

 

[Master D]

Only 3 games and a Matchday Thread?

If Orient (or any Brother) weren’t involved then permission for such would not be granted. As you were.

jitters as in playing poorly - which their fans keep saying and is obviously getting passed onto the fans - but they're one good or lucky win away from a 4 point lead which could change everything

5-0 win for Fylde puts above D&R

The fans I assume are getting nervous because they are a midgies dick away from returning home, Bromley have 1 win in 6, Orient unbeaten away in 5 and on a tear regardless of performances, away win every day of the week.

 

[Tin Roofs & Stone Steps]

Everything about this game says away win!
If Roger Johnson starts we have no hope. If he doesn’t I still expect you’ll win but we may make it interesting while it lasts.

When Roger Johnson has started this season the team has lost 12/17 and only accumulated 18/51 points.
It’s just kept going wrong since his own goal that took us to extra time at Wembley with 19 seconds to go.

I'd rather be in your shoes right now.

Looking ahead to next season now, if Salford don't go up this time they will surely win the league next time round so that reduces our chances to just the play off spots. Is that enough justification to back the evil? Probably not. I also have money on Salford but it's still not enough to back the evil.

Go 'ed Orient, get it done.

Any team would rather be in Orients shoes I think.
but as for Salford - If they don't go up this year don't assume they'll win it next year - everyone assumed with Fylde in conf North they would win it each year - but it took them 3 or 4 attempts before they got promoted. Everyone hates Salford and everyone tries to raise their game against them - that would still be the same next year. I'd far prefer even Wrexham get promoted ahead of them.

I thought he was class against us in the first 20 mins or so against us in the away game last season, til he got himself sent off..

Is there a reason you dislike Wrexham so much? I'm just intrigued and want to know why Barrow seem to have a weird thing with us.

Salford are spending far more than any of these money teams have before. Forest Green would've been a better example to use, considering they didn't walk the league when down here but Salford have outdone them. I can see Salford winning every game, so Orient can't afford to drop many more points.

As far as next year is concerned, Salford and Fylde will have to be early favourites due to the amount of money they have at their disposal if both stay down, hence why I could see why someone would back them.

Steady now......























I agree.

We don't dislike you - it's just with Tranmere gone you're by far the easiest fans to wind up - probably because of how long you've been here - but all banter aside you are a real team with a rich footballing heritage which Salford will never be

Fair enough, we are a touchy lot.

It’s a bit like James Degale in his last fight, we knew he was past his best but didn’t realise how shot a fighter he was until the fight happened.

Roger was decent last season for the main part. He started to fall away towards the end and this season he’s just completely lost his legs. Football equivalent of punchy.

5-0 win for Fylde puts above D&R

I have backed 4-5 and 6 nil for Fylde on some silly little bets, we are truly woeful at present. Supporters bus has been cancelled now, they might score more goals than Away fans present.

 

[Fyldefan]

No chance of that happening, we're playing pretty poorly at present. We're really lacking in the middle of the park. Montrose missing the whole season hasn't helped. Plus, they always play well against us. Midweek game, out of form, score draw for me

It’ll get worse believe me. I was a nervous wreck by the time of our penultimate match against Kiddy in 14/15.

You might win 6-1 again - Funnily enough, at least half of our team that played night, is actually still here!

 

[The Terminator]

Injuries to Jobi McAnuff, Sam Ling, Jamie Turley, Myles Judd, Charlie Lee and Jay Simpson have left us short in recent weeks.

Plus Matt Harrold completes his 3 game ban tomorrow. Josh Koroma is also not firing on all cylinders after his hamstring injury.

The biggest loss would be Jobi McAnuff, quality player and leader.

We had to play Alex Lawless at right back Saturday.

It will be a patched up team to an extent, it will be tight as well - What with it being an artificial surface and small pitch. The Broms will no doubt raise their game and beat us 6-1 again like last season.

I'm sure our favourite ex player George Porter will be looking forward to scoring again.

And you bottled that win with us playing a CB at left wing .

Not that it mattered in the game. We actually created a lot of chances that match too. The state of your pitch didn’t help either...

Excuses but on the pitch blame Worcester for that season. Would've had 50+ matches on it that season by the time you guys came here. Its in a much better state now.

Yes, I’ve seen the improvement since then. I hope we get to play you again before too long, Aggborough is one of my favourite grounds.

Got Fylde and Orient on my bet tonight.
