I see they beat Altringham 2-1 last night and the lucky devils have Southport away on Saturday. Eastleigh won as well but remain 10 points behind, and FGR only drew against Alfreton (you know the ones we drew with and said it wasn't good enough!!)
I would take yet another draw at Grimsby, but Macclesfield then play all the bottom teams before us.
Think we are going to finish 3rd bar a miracle, but we can still win the play offs |

Not sure it would take a "miracle" to finish 2nd, even if it make take an Easter/Dawson inspired one to finish top?
Clearly any of the 4 teams in the Play Offs can go up, you just hope if we get to Wembley our fans will cheer/inspire us to victory.

2nd may as well be 6th - we'll have to beat 2 teams out of 3 anyway.

2nd plays 5th, 3rd plays 4th so the team finishing 2nd should, in theory, have the easier game? Chances are 3rd will play Grimsby so Saturday should see if we need to try and avoid them?

Why the love in with Macclesfield. They have won two home games which in all honesty they would be expecting to win,the first against ten men when they were actually losing and lucky to win. Beating Welling and Altrincham at home both by the odd goal is hardly setting the world alight and to say other "easy" games,looking at it that way we should win the majority of our home games and then it will all go down to who does better away.
A lot will depend on how we do this saturday and IMO anything other than a defeat will put us in a great position with 7 at home left and only five away after saturday.

I don't think there's a stand-out team for us to want to avoid in the play-offs (unless we lose 4-0 on Saturday). Istm, other teams will probably be wanting to avoid us, though.

Think we are going to finish 3rd bar a miracle, but we can still win the play offs You'd like to think we could outlast Macclesfield - they are a small club with a thin squad that was tested over Christmas to the extent they couldn't fill out their bench. Injuries and fatigue will tell down the stretch and you'd like to think that is where we'd have our biggest advantage in this league. Less so over someone like Grimsby. |

Am I the only one that thinks Macclesfield being 2nd and only 5pts off top spot a good thing? Barnet need pressure so they will drop points, with us being being 7pts a drift, we need some help, we will then leap frog the pair and take top spot.
End! ;-)
