Not relevant to the play off chase but something to cheer us up. If Wealdstone beat Dorking tonight it will mean the thugs with the plastic pitch are condemned to relegation bearing in mind their inferior goal difference. The National Leagues gain is the regional leagues loss. Our condolences.

Got a sneaky feeling Wealdstone may have imploded. Just hope they can win tonight.

I don't get this disdain for Dorking, they were pushing and pulling us in both matches but you do what you can to win. It's us that got reds in both games and in all honesty both sides were diving around in the home game. Their manager admitted their man should've gone in the home match and Linney deserved to go as well. Wilson was also completely in the wrong at Dorking and deserved a red. If we can't handle those tactics it's on us.

What happened at the away game reflects poorly on the club and has damaged our reputation. There's nothing wrong with a bit of back and forth but the line was crossed last weekend and I can't help but think that's it's been fuelled in part by this bizarre grudge some of us have manufactured off the back of these games.

Currently Fylde 0-0 Gateshead at HT. Fylde actually having the better of the chances, although there was the odd spark from Gateshead. Quite similar to the first half at Moss Lane in fact. Will be interesting to see how it pans out in the second half. Bar a moment of magic or a serious injection of effort from one of the sides, it's got nil-nil written all over it.

Two quick goals for Dorking, early in the second half. Looks like they'll live to fight on.

Dinanga on in the 54th minute and immediately causing Fylde problems. Still fairly even.

Dorking have conceded. Knife edge stuff.

This.

I think it's bizarre.

And we have the cheek to talk about how weirdly obsessed the likes of Oldham are with us.

They employed a bit of gamesmanship with us and it clearly worked in both fixtures.

Let's give it a rest.

Gateshead failed to clear a corner which fell directly to the foot of Mitchell and rolled in from a yard or two out.

UPDATED AFTER TONIGHT'S RESULT: FYLDE 2-0 GATESHEAD

It remains that we will secure a playoff spot if we do as well or better than Aldershot on Saturday. If Aldershot lose, we are in the playoffs. If we win, we are in the playoffs. If Aldershot draw and we draw, we are in the playoffs.

As well as Gateshead dropping points tonight, their goal difference has taken a knock but is still better than ours (+44 vs +42). Their defeat at Fylde means...

To finish in the top three we MUST win our final two games and ALL of the following must happen:
  • Halifax drop at least two points (draw or lose one game)
  • Solihull drop at least two points (draw or lose one game)
  • Gateshead drop at least five points (or four if their goal difference takes a dive and/or ours improves).
  • Bromley get no more than two draws from their last three games.

Failing all four of those things happening, we will still finish top five if we win our remaining games and at least TWO of them happen.

If we drop two points in our final games then top three is impossible but we could still finish in the top five if any TWO of these happen:
  • Bromley lose every game
  • Solihull drop at least four points (ie don't win either of their two games)
  • Halifax drop three points (lose one or draw two)
  • Gateshead drop at least seven points - or six if goal difference swings in our favour.

If we drop three points in our two remaining games then a top five finish would require any TWO of the following:
  • Halifax drop at least four points (draw two or lose 1 and draw one)
  • Gateshead drop at least eight points, or seven if goal difference swings in our favour.
  • Solihull drop at least five points by getting no more than a draw from their final two games.

It is and as I'm saying that there are a number of Alty fans rubbing it in on their Twitter now they've been relegated. You're all just showing us up as a club.

Dorking were vile at our place and by the sounds of it not much better at theirs. I've not gloated on twitter but I'm glad we will not be playing them next season. Very glad.
