Re: Saturday's big games
I was getting worried that mid season we had a whole day with no messages then up popped ginger. Well done!

Was beginning to wonder if we had gone into Lock down myself for fear of being listened to by GCHQ!don'tbuythesun wrote:I was getting worried that mid season we had a whole day with no messages then up popped ginger. Well done!

Re: Saturday's big games
Decent weather today, hopefully a few more at the game, with Brackley bringing a few more as well. Win today and we'll hopefully move up the table towards the play-off places.

Re: Saturday's big games
This is a massive game for us which we cannot afford to lose, glass half full though and a win today with Bradford on Wednesday will more than likely get us back in the top 5. Quite a few crunch games today.....let's get the 3 points first.

Re: Saturday's big games
Really tricky task today, Brackley have only lost 2 games away from home all season. If we do win today, I think we WILL get that last play off slot. If we lose, it drags them right into the mix too. Today is THAT important in my mind.

Re: Saturday's big games
How many do you think Brackley will bring Pete up from Oxfordshire?? More than Harrogate that are 50 miles away..Darlo_Pete wrote:Decent weather today, hopefully a few more at the game, with Brackley bringing a few more as well.

Re: Saturday's big games
So the best we can hope for is:-
1. Win for Darlo (given) - bookies odds 2:1
2. Win for Fylde - bookies odds 2:1
3. Win for Gloucester - bookies odds 5:1
4. Win for Harrogate - bookies odds 9:4
5. Draw Salford v Stockport - bookies odds 7:2
6. Win for Gainsborough - bookies odds 5:1
which would make the table look like (assuming 1-0 wins and 0-0 draws):-
1. Fylde 34 23 7 4 91:48 76
2. Salford 34 18 9 7 64:33 63
3. Kidrminstr 33 19 5 9 57:30 62
4. Chorley 33 17 11 5 49:30 62
5. Darlington 34 17 9 8 72:51 60
6. Stockport 34 16 11 7 50:36 59
7. Halifax 33 17 7 9 65:40 58
8. Harrogate 34 15 9 10 59:46 54
9. Gloucester 34 16 5 13 56:52 53
10. Tamworth 34 16 5 13 53:55 53
11. Brackley 33 14 10 9 50:36 52
12. FCUM 33 11 10 12 52:52 43
so roughly 787.5 to 1 which doesn't seem too long, unlike the 90 minutes at Blackwell Meadows
Anyway, never mind all this hypothetical stuff, let's get behind the lads & stuff Brackley!
COME ON DARLO!!

Re: Saturday's big games
Looks like they took a decent 104 to York in the trophy in February.

Am more puzzled as to what Pete is doing in Oxfordshire and why he has to be accompaniedbiccynana wrote:[pedantry] Northamptonshire [/pedantry]HarrytheQuaker wrote:How many do you think Brackley will bring Pete up from Oxfordshire??
Re: Saturday's big games
These two games are a great opportunity for us to get back into the top five with some big games also on Tuesday night.
Fylde v Stockport
Salford v Chorley
Tamworth v Kidderminster
Six points from these two games and things will become very interesting.

Re: Saturday's big games
Totally agree quakerste, the playoff positions are wide open with these 6 pointers, our fans can play a massive part with these 2 home games.

Re: Saturday's big games
Lads did what was necessary, lot better football in second half resulting in great goal then backed up with a clean sheet. Also another promising contribution from Saunders off the bench. Well done Darlo!
Couple this with some decent results for us elsewhere and I think we have scraped into 5th. If we can keep the clean sheets coming and taking our half chances, the play-offs are still within our own hands.
Probably the biggest disappointment of the day was the crowd, only 1547. Hopefully, more will turn out on Wednesday night, and Bradford are bound to bring more support than Brackley.

Re: Saturday's big games
Very disappointing crowd, conversely the 50/50 lottery ticket sales are increasing

Re: Saturday's big games
Here's one for you Ginge. Having just checked the fixtures, due to the fact that Chorley play Halifax on the last day of the season, our play-off fate is now back in our own hands!

April 29th
SALFORD vs DARLINGTON
CHORLEY vs HALIFAX
STOCKPORT vs 10th place Gloucester
Whoever built the fixtures for today and the last game of the season can certainly pick them, I wish they could pick my lottery numbers!!!

Re: Saturday's big games
Think we have a very decent run in Adam, all our home games are winnable and Salford and Fylde away are our toughest games on paper.With all these 6 pointers to come involving our playoff rivals, we really do have a great chance of a top 5 finish.Would have settled for this a couple of weeks ago and seeing how we battled today am feeling pretty confident.Back 4 were superb as was Falkingham.

Re: Saturday's big games
Ron, I have a feeling we'll beat Fylde. Me and the little 'un are up on April 1st to see the reserves v Hartlepool, then at BM v FCUM on Easter Monday. Also at Gainsborough and Alfreton.
