If Halifax pick up 3 points tonight then that is the play off places confirmed, just the final order to be resolved. To keep momentum we need to win on Saturday and then see where that places us. Home tie next Tuesday/Wednesday would be awesome. If we make the semi's then either of Barnet/Bromley will be tough, but we know that. Seems we have had better results at Barnet in the past, so maybe that's the route and on grass. Either way lets get past Saturday first and see whom we have at home. One game at a time now. COYR

My hunch tells me that Barnet is more of a classic York (A) from last time - they'll have the pressure of being playoff favourites, but our lads will know they can turn them over on the day as they've done it before.

For that reason it's not the end of the world for Gateshead to scrape wins in their games this week - but I reckon they'll drop points somewhere, if not versus Shots then certainly very likely versus Bromley.

Unless Bromley win in midweek, they'll probably be putting out a very weak team at the weekend as they'll be confirmed as finishing third and will be keeping their powder dry for the play off semi.

I was actually thinking about that myself - given they'd have 8 days to recover, surely the best policy for them would be to stick with their best XI?

Something we thankfully won't have to worry about - we have the perfect opportunity to take huge momentum into the playoffs on Saturday and I'm sure the lads will take it.

If Bromley fail to collect at least a point from this evening's visit to Oxford City, there is still a chance that Gateshead could finish third on goal difference.

Bromley and Barnet both in with a chance of 2nd still after last night. Gateshead v Bromley should be a tasty game.

Apart from a bit of pride, there's no difference in finishing 2nd or 3rd is there, in terms of play off advantage?

Other than having the runnersup spot, very little, could make a difference to who they play though.

Agreed, but I think momentum at this stage is important. Keep that winning habit if you can.

2nd gets to play the winner of 5th V 6th. 3rd gets to play the winner of 4th V 7th. If everything goes to form then 2nd gets an easier semi final but it could go the other way and 3rd gets to play the lowest ranked side in the semis.
