One thing you have to say for James Rowe, he's not predictable. Evans back as sub! Whelan gets three assists on Saturday, benched on Tuesday. Former players are notorious for scoring against their old teams - so we leave Kairo Mitchell on the bench all night against KL; if I were him I'd be fuming (maybe that's the intention and he comes out and grabs a brace against Wealdstone?)
With so many games tumbling over each other, using our big squad to freshen things up is essential but berlimey I'd like to think the side that would trot out if we'd made the play-offs would look like the manager's best eleven ....... and I haven't a clue what that team would look like.
Last night Sutton took a step to confirming SGB's view that they would come out top, but it was only 3-2 against a Woking side who have been on the slide for a couple of months. Dagenham boosted Sutton by holding Stockport to a draw ....... in fact more than holding ......... Stockport took off Madden for the second half! In truth McCallum and Balanta for the Daggers should be the best front two at this level and are causing everyone trouble. I'd like whatever centre back combo we put in against them to have had a full game together against Wealdstone. County started cementing their play-off place by wiping the floor with Maidenhead. So for Saturday, Wrexham will feel the need to go for a win at Boreham Wood - high degree of difficulty there - and Halifax will feel the same about an even more difficult task at Dagenham. Happily Notts County and Bromley can't both win their game and won't really want to play a draw. Maidenhead might just be so stung by their tanning last night they'll really want to prove something at home to Sutton, which would sprinkle buckets full of hope around Edgeley Park for Stockport and Torquay to feast on at Sunday lunch.
For us another three goal margin against Wealdstone would be a dream. With a -49 goal difference Wealdstone do represent a chance for us to sicken Halifax, but they are much better than they've shown in recent weeks. If we give 'em a daft goal we might find they are altogether a different prospect. Defeat wouldn't surprise me!
What hope have we (I) of predicting results when we (well certainly I) can't even get near predicting the team Chesterfield will field on Saturday?
