Some of the worst attempted trolling ever on this thread, can tell the kids are off school this week.

Just played 6 a side down on the pitches at our ground. Fucking bouncing down with rain, if this carries on for a few hours tomorrow our game will be off again…

Rovers v Walsall. Sounds like we’re going to be missing a few at the weekend, with Turnbull and Morris picking up injuries from the Colchester game and Walker doubtful. On the face of it a good time for Walsall to play us needing points to keep their season alive. Faal was a handful when he played for Donny in the win at PP and Matt is an old adversary. Get the impression Saddlers fans aren’t totally convinced by the current management and maybe Rovvers can act as a banana skin on the route to the play-offs

Hope it's called off before 10am Saturday. That's when I have to leave.
I don't want the Tuesday night fiasco from a few seasons ago when it got called off at 6 ish as I arrived.

Yes we really fecked you up didn’t we…complete collapse in confidence from conceding 5 to Grimsby.

It was the final nail in the coffin, the defending for the 5th goal in particular was schoolboy stuff and unacceptable.

Saying that you'd think we'd lose when conceding 5 away from home but thankfully Dave was being very generous that day and allowed the best winger in the league the freedom of the park all game. Was it 3 or 4 assists that day for J Jones?

At least something was bouncing, by the sounds of it the match ball wont be. Crazy to think we're looking at postponements in April.
Given that the problem area is only a small patch in front of one of the stands, surely with the forecast of wind and nearly 20 degrees they can get this on?

To be fair the issues were all obvious before, but going 5-4 up in the 93rd minute and still not being able to see it out was definitely the moment I gave up hope on this season.

Apparently the problem area is covered and the forecast doesn’t look too bad for this afternoon and tomorrow so fingers crossed it’ll be alright.

It’ll be an even bigger embarrassment than last week if it’s off especially given our position, we could do without the backlog of fixtures.

Both ourselves and Accrington in horrid form currently. We really just need the 2 wins that would probably see us secure the play off ASAP. But I could probably see a draw here. Despite still being way above expectations, it worries me the amount of apathy about at the moment. I remember looking at this game a few weeks ago thinking we will be taking 1500 plus to Accrington, but it just shows in ticket sales, somewhere just over 600 sold which is woeful given where we ate in the league, its not that far and we're into the final 5 games.

Home to Donny going to be tough they are on a good run of form ,we could do with a similar defensive display as we had against Barra + and an early goal then I would go for 2-1 shrimps

What a job by the gaffer at Crawley, the away form is insane this year.

It’s that point of the season now where it’s absolutely impossible to enjoy any stags games unless we are atleast 4 goals up. So not looking forward to it.

Who can be arsed? 4-4 this week maybe.

We have one thing to play for now and it’s to set a surely never-to-be-matched record of both scoring and conceding the most goals in the entire football league.

Yeah that’s the big target now. Stick yer fancy promotions and yer overspending northern and Welsh tosspots.

I really don’t like Harrogate with their over achievement and nice manager and 2020 in an empty Wembley. Hope we smash them 10-5 but of course Maynard so 3-1 defeat incoming.

It has been covered since wednesday.

Crawley are in excellent form and excellent away also, a very tricky game tomorrow indeed.

I see we’ve now been shortened to 9/2 with the bookies. I’ve given up trying to predict any game in this league, it means nothing. Having watched us since Christmas, we have the same chance of winning this game 3-1 as we do losing it 3-1.

We’re not great at home, it depends how you set up.

If you sit deep and play defensive we’d struggle, if you come playing open attacking football happy days.

You win then - all you need to do is set up like Donny did on Good Friday, they played the perfect game against us. Don’t press our back line and win all the 2nd balls in midfield. Simple

Shortened to 9/2 says it all. Although the odds have reduced a clearly very tricky game for Crawley.

Home win.

It’s a huge day for us, our rivals playing 3 of the top 4 and us playing a side that are on rotten form.

This is exactly the type of scenario we’ll spectacularly fuck up, and the bookies are giving us 13/20! Madness

Looking at the fixtures of the bottom four it isn't unlikely that all will lose today, even a draw for one might be considered a huge success...will it decide who goes down, probably not, but the confidence boost of just a point could be huge.

I recon we draw 1 all today. Can't see us having cutting edge to win.

1-1 bore draw written all over this, we score first then concede a scrappy equaliser around 65-70 mins.

Omar Bogle will score today, 1-1 draw at best for us with the other three 'shit' clubs all losing and Mansfield bottling it at home to Crawley would make my day!

Would be good if Bogle scores for sure, doubt it though. Short on game time after a long spell out injured. We are down to bear bones. Home win for me.

Anything but a draw at Meadow Lane please. Draw does nobody any good. I want a deserved win or deserved defeat.

Jatta or Macca to score, Notts to concede.

Bit worried about our defence today if I’m being honest, not much can be done with so many injuries mind, to be fair only one striker in defence but Hewitt at CB after being out for a year and Williams coming back in after being injured and barely playing concerns me.

We've been injury hit badly all season, but we've got in the region of 10 first team players missing now for our trip to Accrington. Just hoping we can at least keep our finger tips on the playoffs, because our squad today is absolutely paper thin. Our team is like conscription, if you're in the area and old enough, you're playing.

Colchester's pitch is horrendous.
