Gateshead v Aldershot - OFF

Wow!

The only option they have is doing Tuesday Thursday Saturday next week instead - with absolutely zero wiggle room for any further postponements.

Not the most ideal playoff preparation!

The bookies seem fairly certain of our Top 7 status - currently 1/50.
Feeling pretty good about the £20 I stuck on at 10/1  8)

Currently 1-0 to Solihull but a very open game. Could easily see Ebbsfleet getting at least one back. Solihull have missed so many chances in the first half so far that it's almost written that they'll rue them in the second half.

Solihull 2-0 Ebbsfleet now. Fairly weak deflected shot. Can't see Fleet coming back now - looks like all three points going to Solihull. Alty down to 5th.

Bromley equaliser not ideal for us

It's now crystal clear that we need to win both of our remaining games to stand a chance of 5th - I did fancy Ebbsfleet to give Solihull more of a game.

Back into our hands if Bromley hold them on Saturday and hopefully Ebbsfleet are done in from tonight.

The wait goes on to confirm a play off spot. Onto Ebbsfleet on Saturday. COYR.

Top three was pretty much already out of sight. As it stands after tonight, we are one win from securing a play off spot and top five is still a possibility. On the basis of points left available 6th or 7th seems our most likely finishing spot but the huge unknown factor is what the fixture congestion is going to mean for Halifax and Gateshead.

I'm going to stay positive about 5th for now!

The game on Saturday is very winnable given our additional rest, and Solihull have every chance of dropping points at Bromley.

If we win both remaining games, Halifax are unlikely to catch us either.

Loving your confidence mate - just wish I shared it! 😉

We beat Ebbsfleet 6-1 earlier in the season! Let's go into this game with a bit of confidence. It's a game we can certainly win if we play anywhere near the way we can. I've got a feeling they'll be more worried about us.

If we play to what we are capable of in both games, max 6 points definitely doable. Let other teams worry about us, we are already in a much stronger position and we should go into these games with confidence - and the playoffs.

3 points gets rid of Aldershot out of the equation and gives us guaranteed top 7 finish. It takes some unwanted pressure off the Oxford game. We can just concentrate on getting the job done in our final league game.

At the end of the day it's a very similar assignment to Kidderminster.

We ended up coming through that one comfortably in the end, so we should hold no fears if we go about our normal game.

Gateshead game at Fylde in doubt tomorrow night. They aren't going to be playing consecutive nights next week. You can see where this is going. Gateshead and Halifax will be given preferential treatment.
