I think Southend could be our toughest game out of this next run. They seem to be hitting very good form at a good time. They should've beaten York last weekend and they have Dallas back who was missing from the abandoned game. It would be great if we could get our own talisman back for that game - Mani D, where are you?
Yes we've certainly not got a great record under Jim in big games at home. In terms of promotion contenders you can only really gauge this season and last. We beat Gateshead and Altrincham at home last season but they were both struggling for form and dropping out of play off contention at the time. This season at home (and Accrington) the highest 2 teams we've played are Halifax and Hartlepool and we lost them both. York in the F.A.Cup and Southend the abandoned game. These next 5 weeks that will have to change if we are to challenge York.
Cant for the life of me think of the last time this happened? Even rarer a 1-0 injury time winner. There can't be any better way to win a game certainly for team spirit and feelgood factor. The perfect way to lead upto our homecoming on Saturday.
The Next 5 midweek games will certainly shape our season regarding winning the league. Southend h, Boreham Wood h, Forest Green h, Scunthorpe h, Halifax a.
Just seen your Southend comment! I cant believe they are charging fans for a re arranged abandoned game! Especially for the Southend fans! Shocking that.
Prefer Scunthorpe winning to be honest - Borehamwood haven't lost in ages so its good they get knocked back a bit - and we have thevchance of overtaking them again now tomorrow. Scunthorpe aren't as consistent but can definitely cause an upset on their day.
Just seems quite a big difference to me. To have only lost 1 daytime game out of 17 played but lost 3 from 6 night matches. Hope it improves tomorrow night.
One more note of caution. Our night record for some reason seems to be not as good as weekend games. Out of the 4 league games we've lost 3 of them have been night matches.
Yes the key in most games for us is taking our chances because we do regularly create quite a few. Clean sheets have saved us in a fair few games - but we can't keep relying on those - if we could be a little more clinical infront of goal and improve our finishing we could make lives a lot easier for ourselves. Obviously getting Mani Dieseruvwe back onto the pitch will help us with this.
Great win, Gateshead had their chances but truthfully we should've put the game to bed a lot sooner - (a slightly worrying trend). Great goals the 2 we scored but I'm still not quite sure how Duku didn't put that one in on the line - he didn't show any desire to jump and head it in to the open goal? How he let the defender clear is baffling.
Southend should've snatched it in the end if Scott-Morriss had put a better ball across the 6 yard box for a tap in. A draw is a decent result for us though.
