Watched the Kiddy game this evening.  I can see why Parky doesn’t want any big lumps in the team. I know they are close Journey wise but their style of play is awful. They also have a few players who are well into their 30s. I didn’t think Halifax were much cop either..

Hopefully we get north of 4000 Through the turnstiles tomorrow. It should be a cracking game..

You must have a different definition of adequate to most people. Reasonable maybe. Adequate, not so sure.

My expectation is that the support will be drowned out by the casual observers on the popside who want to chit chat about how many easter eggs they got. Perhaps we should have put a restriction on tickets available to home fans too if we want to gain maximum advantage.

They were given 1056 tickets. For the average gate we get that is Adequate/Reasonable whatever you want to call it… Enjoy your Easter Egg.

He could rest Cooper if his hammy is still twinging in order to rest him for the Easter Monday fixture.

This will be one of the hardest games we have left.

My biggest worry after the season ends, playoffs or not, is keeping the players we currently have. CCC springs to mind, especially with Chesterfield now being promoted. Is he under contract for next season too? I hope that is he does go, it takes a massive amount of money to prise him away.

Thoughts?

I think CCC needs to be more consistent I expect that is why Fleetwood didn’t  play him as often as we all thought he deserved to. Having said that, I don’t think we play him in the correct role sometimes. He is very good when he is on song, I also think some of our players are not on his wavelength.

Knowing Alty, we'll probably battle along until it all rests on getting a win from our last match at home to already - relegated Oxford.
Then we'll draw! 🙄

Reality Check :

Despite what I've just said, I think the vast majority of people on here would have grabbed our current situation with both hands if offered it at the start of the season. I know very well that I would.

Very true. I think most folk would agree we have punched above our weight with the squad we have currently.
Hopefully, we can improve the squad, with all players capable of performing to the first team standard when called upon. I said on another forum that we need to sign a few players who can impose themselves on a game. We are currently a little lightweight in physicality at present. I also think the key player in our current squad is Ethan Ross.

This game is totally about beating Oldham Athletic, not making a few more grand on gate receipts. What do you want? A better chance to beat Oldham and improve our playoff sport or a few more quid in the coffers that won’t actually make much difference.
