I'd say that hoping for even one point from an away fixture against a side in the playoff places, who've already stuffed us 0-4 at home, is akin to believing in Father Christmas.
Yes Eastleigh's draw at Halifax did us no favours aside from giving a point. It means now that even if Eastleigh were to win and Braintree lose this Saturday Braintree would still be well within a shout come next week.
This is the most academic post I've ever put on here though...
This. Assuming we beat Welling this was the most important issue. I'm positive that with Braintree nothing to play for and faced with a chance to send Guiseley down, we'd have benefited from some very charitable defending in Essex.
