2-0 down at Matlock.

28,635! Impressive.

Might be facing Ashton Utd in the playoffs.

the playoff fixtures look like this: Championship: @MrPartyPants6 v @LaticsPete @milnrow latics v @DavidCollinge League One: @alien v @hinchy @oafcmad09 v @singe The fixtures you'll be predicting are: 1st leg - Barnet v Solihull/Halifax - Saturday 27th April, 1730 2nd leg - Bromley v Altrincham - Sunday 28th April, 1600 You each need to submit predictions for the corresponding fixtures above (both legs). This will be submitted in the old school style by posting your predictions in this thread (not to be submitted or edited after 10 mins before the first stated kick-off time). You should include an attendance as part of your prediction. Since Latics narrowly missed out on the playoffs, first scorer predictions will be for the first scorer of the game, not for a particular team as with Latics fixtures. The winning players will then play off in a final, by predicting the outcome of the National League playoff final (Sunday 5th May, 1500), the winner of which will be promoted. Predictions for all playoff fixtures are for the 90 mins, not extra time or penalties. In the event of a draw in the final, the winner will be determined by the closest attendance prediction, then by total points scored in the playoffs, then by previous attendance predictions if still level.

Sorted based on columns from left to right

Have just updated post-Wealdstone (assuming attendance posted on their site is correct). Prem: @Ex_pat takes the title, 4 points clear from @tGWB. @Hometownclub, @Laticsbiffo and @rudemedic take the other European slots. At the bottom, @deyres42, @SAV and @lookersstandandy are relegated, with @GlossopLatic and @aidan_latics narrowly avoiding the drop. Champ: @PeteWeb narrowly pips @Handsy to the title, with both promoting. @MrPartyPants6, @milnrow latics, @DavidCollinge and @LaticsPete will contest the playoffs. At the bottom, @Londonboy and @JoeP are relegated, with @mick26 and @rosa just about doing enough. L1: @JohnG123 and @Hemel latic take the top two spots, leaving @alien, @oafcmad09, @singe and @hinchy in the playoffs. @the_mighty_bosh takes the wooden spoon, with @josh_latics not too far above him!

Exactly. We binned off about 10 games under DU, then were in dreadful form for the final 12 or so, and still nearly made the playoffs this season.

Ask Darren

You sound like BP1960. Most level headed folk can see what Frank and the board are trying to do. We don't have to win every game 3-0 to make progress.

Nailed on to sign for FGR and bag a hattrick against us on opening day.

Won't do our fanbase any harm to have expectations dampened a little bit. Boo the players on, off at half time, back on for the 2nd half, and wonder why they don't perform in a (for us) meaningless game? Maybe realising that a bit of patience is needed will make our support a bit less toxic.

There are noises that one of the teams in the playoffs might not be allowed to compete (possibly Gateshead due to ground regs?) - the Aldershot manager mentions it in his post-match press conf. So 8th might get in. Makes our end of season collapse all the more frustrating.

Why not?

Yeah, why not. Quite enjoy an early kick off. Will probably leave when we're 2-0 down after 19 minutes.

He's 6ft1

Big shout out to me (!), @boshell4eng, @hollandspies and @Dick_Valentine. @Hometownclub may have been right if DU had stayed longer. The rest of you? Hang your heads in shame.

Try harder

Release them all, bar Gardner, who should be sold to the glue factory.

It was Ethan Walker a few weeks ago, he'd change everything and be just what we need. He played a few games, was shite, and now he never mentions him.
