Been like that for weeks. Madness, we need to capitalise, only ourselves to blame really.

I dont think given our obvious limitations we are good enough to go up through the playoffs, but it seems every team is hellbent on being inconsistent and a bit crap..

I'd hope we can squeeze in the play offs, as the three teams above us don't want too lol.

If we get in, then whoever we play, will have to be wary of us.

I'd still make York favourites though.

Yep york favourites, id like to see us get into the playoffs too. It shows some progression, and will be an experience for the team for next year.
 
Great couple of results for us. Now lets get the Hall in full voice for Saturday.

Current league positions mean nothing at this stage. So pointless having lists of predictions because no one can get it right.
Absolutely! Just have a look at Hartlepool's remaining fixtures. They could have a big influence on the top 7 and can't be ruled out yet
 
Sorry if this has been discussed but just spotted Altrincham v Tamworth on final day. It's quite feasible that there'll be a 4 way shootout for 7th - my prediction is if we win it's ours but if we draw then whoever wins that one nicks it
 
Kyreece Lisbie recalled by Col U today - hopefully that has an impact on Braintree’s recent good form.
Yes we have had lots of illness and injuries in our camp hence the slight drop off in our form, Kyreece will add a bit more choice to our forwards, he was really seen as one for the future but has done very well at Braintree.
 
Five big games left with four of them against teams who still need points so won't be easy. Solihull, Braintree and Wealdstone all need to get away from the relegation places and Gateshead chasing play offs.
 
After last nights results, a point away at Sutton could prove to be an important one given ours and their league positions.

If they'd beaten us, it would have given them half a chance to get in the play offs themselves but I think
they're done now.

Tamworth losing for me was as important as any of those above is doing so because they were on a serious run and aren't out of it yet.

Our finishing is the main concern, but I'm sure Rochdale, Halifax and Gateshead are all saying the same.

Braintree are 8 points clear. They are out of it now I think. There are too many teams between them and Dagenham.

We've got 3 games before we play Wealdstone. They could know by then if they are safe or in the drop zone.

With how other teams are playing, the Gateshead game could mean nothing. It's all so unpredictable at the moment.

I'm telling you now it will be Grimsby away all over again - we'll go to Gateshead on the last day needing at least a point, I can feel it in me water
 
Ah, it's fun though isn't it? It's up there with "if only..." 🙂
Yeh, there's a lot of truth in both posts (yours and riggers), but its a good talking point.

The relegation issue is certainly coming into play, who knows, if Wealdstone need to win it could open them up, it really is up to us, win every game and that should be it, easy!

I had possibly 7 teams to go down at the start of the season and 3 are in the bottom four, Daggers have thrown me, I had them as challenging for the play-offs!

As for mentioning that game at Grimsby, I still remember saying near the end, "this will cost me a week on a Greek island", and it did, but wasn't it worth it in the end 😁
