We could do with Hollis not being badly injured, and, as usual, Maguire recovering (why do we get the injury-prone brother?)
Anyway Monday should be interesting as everyone else involved is playing and they've got some tough fixtures. I wouldn't fancy going to Boreham Wood if I were Hartlepool, or the trip to Solihull if I were Sutton. Halifax might find Weymouth aren't going to be surrender monkeys either when they finally reach The Shay. Bromley having sacked their manager for no obvious reason should be easy meat for Stockport and Woking haven't any pressing need to beat Notts County, but Wrexham v Torquay should be intriguing with both sides having every incentive to win a game, which neither will be happy to lose. If Wrexham lose and Halifax beat Weymouth, then Wrexham slide out of the play-offs, which I don't think is in their Hollywood script.
If Solihull win and Hartlepool, Stockport, Notts County and Torquay do too, we'd be looking at Sutton suddenly in second place and though they'd still look like winners they'd be glancing back at Torquay just 5 points behind and Notts County with two games in hand.
As for SGB lying at Hurst House ........ shows how times have changed, they just trusted us to go back and forth over Sheffield Road, would that happen now? No one got killed. Ever. Major concerns back then seemed to be that you wore your ridiculous school cap in public until you reached the sixth form, and that they made you write out Rule One of the School Rules so often as lines you would still be able to recite it at the age of 68 ............ "Any offence against the dictates of common sense or good manners etc ....."
