    Gateshead fielding an ineligible player according to their fans. Player given straight red at Ebbsfleet has started, but according to some of their fans it should be a 3 game ban. Unsure if they are right or not.

    Just a bad tackle wasn't it? 1 game ban (which was Saturday)?

    We definitely should have scored there but the bigger picture is that this team is nowhere near good enough to win the playoffs.

    I’m not even confident of beating Fylde at home next week.

    The notion that if we don’t go up we can be champions next season is also total bollocks.

    We have an absolute mountain to climb!!

     

    Be fine - hopefully Barnet go up in the playoffs, they look like the best contender. Then it should be a much weaker league next season.

    No chance. One of their games in hand will be against us !

     

    That gives Wealdstone eleven games until season end in April. They are a part-time team (no disrespect intended), and they're going to be knackered. Long journeys to Altrincham and your BP in that too, and three games only 48 hours apart for each. That's harsh with neither leeway nor contingency to extend the season by a week or so.

     

    Raises the question again over player safety in the National League, where games are more likely to be cancelled when the weather is bad causing a fixture backlog.

     

    Teams like Halifax with substandard playing surfaces should be docked points.

    There used to be a contributor who updated a list of the contractual status of all of our players.

     

    Is that still available?

     

    Don't think Frankly is too far out, although perhaps some of those brought in last summer might be better with some of the old guard out of the way.

     

    It can't be a happy place at the moment with an experienced group waiting for the axe to drop and others whose careers have completely stalled over the last eighteen months.

    Are they playing the standard cup (amateur Rugby) match at Boundary Park the morning of the Fylde game...?

    Might not be a bad thing if they did, given how they passed us off the park at their place. Not sure they'd fancy a bit of Mellonball.
