Ok who's up to Halifax on Tuesday ? We need the three points to keep ahead in the play off race but keep an eye on the weather as rain is forecast from Monday evening.

I'll be there. (And I have a few pubs to check off before and after the game. 😊)
Important game for us, and I've no doubt that Dos will want to get a good result after three defeats in our last four completed matches. A win would keep us second, but a defeat could see us drop as low as fifth.
This is the first of our three remaining away games, all against mid-table sides, and our results in these matches will go a long way to determining where we finish. Halifax are in decent form (only one defeat in their last eight) and their win on Saturday took them to 50 points, which should be enough to stay up. Maidenhead are also likely to be safe when we play at York Road a week later, and by the time we go to Ebbsfleet on the 21st I expect them to be out of contention for the play-offs. So Sutton should have the greater incentive in these games - not that this guarantees anything!
Halifax are playing another rearranged match on Thursday evening (home to Gateshead), then they have Torquay away on Saturday. With three matches in five days, I'd expect some squad rotation.
Three points for Sutton tomorrow would take us to 75, probably enough to secure a play-off place. 80 may be enough for third place, but we might need to get to 84 to finish second.
Finally, as Delboy says, the weather could have its part to play tomorrow.

On the supporters coach leaving GGL @1pm and looking forward to the journey with JP and the rest of the usual gang for what could be (play-offs) our last long journey of the season.
Not watched us since Chester @home, listened from afar - however knowing the spirit the lads have got in the dressing room my prediction is:
Halifax 1 Sutton United 3.
See you all up there.

Not going but Sol, A 3-1 Away win, god I think you’re a bit over-confident! We will be lucky with a draw with the way we’ve been recently and halifax have been playing recently at home with 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 4 home games

I’ll go for a 4-1 win then if the game is on (which must be in serious doubt). I do hope they call it off early if it’s really bad. I’ve had enough of travelling the length of the country only to find the game off or abandoned. It’s costing us fans a lot of money |

Maidenhead), we’ve lost our last two games and being an away match and our recent form is why I am not confident in us scoring 3 goals. I think maybe a 1-0 Sutton win or 1-1 or 2-1 Sutton most likely for this fixture but I just can’t see us scoring more than two goals but hopefully the lads prove me wrong! |

We scored 3 in 45 minutes at Maidenhead and played very well on Saturday against a team who thumped 7 past Aldershot, 6 against the Champions elect and 5 against Tranmere. Halifax aren't anywhere near the same quality as Fylde. |

Halifax aren't anywhere near the same quality as Fylde. I have taken that into consideration but I’m still not the utmost confidence it’ll be a big margin or a win, at most I can The the goal margin of us winning by one goal, we’ve been to many lower clubs like Hartlepool, Maidstone, Barrow and have found it hard and I think it will be a repeat of Tranmere Away, quite tight, one goal to win. But I can see where you’re coming from it’s just I think we will win but not by a big margin. |
