I think the most likely scenario where goal difference comes into play is if they draw and we lose on Saturday, then we will be 3 points behind and X behind on goal difference so would need to beat them by X+1
 
Did Gateshead sort out their ground ownership / lease issues that got them kicked out of the Playoffs last season, im pretty sure it was being worked on but dont remember seeing a conclusion? It was a typical National league farce last season.

If we were 3 points behind and X goals behind on goal difference, we would need to beat them by
X/2 + 1. Don’t forget that one goal for us improves our goal difference by one and worsens Gateshead’s by a similar amount.
 
Best results for me would be
Southend win
Altrincham win
Gateshead lose

Following week
We draw
Altrincham 1-0 up with five mins to go and then concede.1-1 full time

The draw will feel like a ‘win’ so we will have momentum ……

and then we ‘only’ have to win three games.


If we beat Wealdstone and Gateshead can anyone really see us winning 6 in a row?
 
Always a chance if we dont need to score during play and we can win on penalties. Now we have some good Wembley history scoring pens 🙃
And no one seems to rate us, all these northern teams are squabbling between themselves about playoffs.

We looked at the fixtures back in August and laughed and said it'll go down to the last one, Gateshead away 😄 we'll be totally unfancied and take them all by storm.
