It’s called hindsight, having your excuse ready after you’ve been beaten at home and after having a player sent off for a bad foul. Foresight, surely? But hindsight is after the event isn’t it as that’s what they will say after we’ve done the job on them, at least that’s the way I was thinking. Maybe I lost sight of the thread in my prematch contemplation of victory 🤷🏼♂️ |

Hartlepool's match at Halifax has been postponed because of the weather, so we have the incentive of jumping back up to second with a win (same for Stockport though).

Do they still play rugby league on Halifax's pitch ?

We also of course have the potential to drop to 7th if Notts, Maidenhead and Altrincham all win (against Bromley, Wealdstone and Torquay respectively). Looking at the permutations, I'd say it's highly unlikely we will remain 4th by the end of the evening, but could be anywhere between 2nd and 7th, except 3rd which is mathematically impossible! |

Good old stats, here is one if we don't score the odds suggest we will not come away with anything as 0-0 are not that common. If we can score the odds favour us to bring something home, so we need to find the net. Again the odds are after 2 matches without a goal is that we will score  As I think you're suggesting here, poorly used statistics are worse than useless. These ones would only make sense if football were a game of pure chance. If you have a particularly strong defense, are playing against a weak attacking side who aren't playing well and you don't score, then your odds of coming away with a 0-0 are pretty high. And since the 2 previous results don't count towards this game and were against different teams, they won't have much bearing on tonight's result other than the fact that we're not scoring a lot of goals at the moment might make us seem LESS likely to score tonight. What I'm really saying is anything can happen |

Wealdstone v Maidenhead is off. The Grosvenor Vale pitch can't take much rain! I think that means we can't drop any lower than 6th this evening. Most of tonight's games (including ours) kick off at 7pm, but Notts v Bromley is at 7.45 - so we may have a bit of a wait after the final whistle to find out where we are. |

Apparently pretty wet in Stockport and due to be up to ko and possibly beyond. Home fans hoping the pitch can take it.

It looks like we have been rumbled, I have just seen this on the Stockport forum. Did a bit of my own scouting on saturday and streamed their game at hartlepool. both teams missed a couple of chances each but somehow they didn,t look like scoring. they looked better on the break than they did in possesion. main threat was their wide right player who had very good close ball control and was difficult to de posess. the usual big lad upfront who put himself about and was lucky he didn,t receive a card. hope we manage to get a decent ref as their players go down at every opportunity just to break the game up and gain cheap free kicks. their defence looked quite steady though but didn,t look too comfortable against a decent cross which provided the pools winner. our wide men could be the key tomorrow if their balls into the box are spot on. risking a 2-1 win for us.linkStrange? the player who goes down at every opportunity was not playing. Maybe his observations are as accurate as his spelling. |

Issac’s first touch was better than M Salah’s for Liverpool on Sunday (v West Ham)...
Bergkamp esqu (WC 98)?
