Our last game is 5th May. If we are in the play-offs, I would expect the matches to start on the 11th, with the final on Saturday 24th or Sunday 25th. I have booked off 10/05 to 27/05 to be sure.

Trophy final is weekend of 10th so I suspect midweek of w/c 12th is likely for 4 v 7 and 5 v 6 fixtures. Weekend of 17th for the semis and then, as you say, weekend of 24th for final. Given that weekend is when EFL play-off finals get played, I can't imagine ours will be at Wembley this year.

It is really irritating how the NL cannot get these dates organised and published. We probably won't be in this year, but will be for the next however many until we finally get out of this league.

I think you have a decent chance of reaching the bottom rungs of the play off ladder, Col U have improved a lot over the last few games and still have an outside chance of making it, but I feel our early season form will be the death of our chances for this season.

I think you will do very well next season. Mr Cowley from Fitzwimarc has finally turned the ship around there and got everyone changing much quicker and has stopped the naughty lads flicking the ears of weedy kids as they queue to go into the gym. I say ship but with Col U we’re talking more of a stand up paddle board really.😉

The NL 4th v 7th and 5th v 6th playoffs can be as quick as Thursday 8th and Friday 9th May depending on the FA Trophy finalists. The next games can then be the following Tuesday.
This would enable a play off final to be on the Sunday 18th May at Wembley. It would be a tight schedule but they have done that before.

It makes playing the final games on the Monday 5th May rather than the free Saturday 3rd May even more of a strange decision. Maybe they wanted a free Saturday in case some teams needed to catch up on postponed games.

I don’t mind a midweek match as we seems to have a better record on Monday to Friday than playing on Saturday!
 
Win 3 games on the trot would be interesting , putting that kind of run together is key

However that demands form and consistency, something we lack

This season we have only won 3 games on the trot once and that was against Ebbsfleet, Southport and Braintree just after Xmas
 
Currently we have 43 points from 31 games. That an average of 1.38 points per game. On current form that's 20 points to the end of season and give us 63 points. We will come up 10 points short. I know the management team like data and stats, so will know this. It's time to throw caution to the wind.
 
Our last 8 form is 2.00 Ppg . Gateshead are looking weakest at the moment but are way too far ahead of us . Hartlepool and Eastleigh are as much in the frame as we are .
It’s all shaping up to be 8 odd points adrift

If our last 8 is 2.00 ppg then that we see us in the last spot.

What do we want between Halifax and Rochdale on Tuesday?
Click to expand...
i would want a win for Rochdale, they have 4 games in hand over us cant see them losing all them ,Sutton and Easleigh have a game in hand over us and could go above us, our best chance to me is Halifax or Altrincham go on a bad run cannot see it happening but football is a funny game, Rochdale win those 4 games they can be as high as 4th , its in our own destiny where we finish but to make the playoffs we need to be putting most of the chances we make away, can i see that happening no way , why well Kendall is to raw , Hopper too slow to begin with, Have always thought our best two options as strikers are Bonne and Walker given the service ,Waldron well its fairly obvious hes not in Mahers plans anymore, But my prdition is we willmiss out again probably a 9th /10th place finish .Not good enough sorry,
 
some games tonight that can help us close the gap, IF we beat aldershot of course.
Rochdale v halifax.
Hartlepool v Altringham.
