halifax v the whites

[bring back the cowshed!]

Congrats to Macc. Well deserved over the season. So Plan A has failed. Let's all pull together and make sure Plan B succeeds.

And we go on... early Cookie goal gets us off to a great start.

 

[Sparky]

Thats 50 for cookie in 93 appearances.

Please let us go up so we have a chance of keeping him!

 

[Sparky]

Buxton off for Harris. Hope any injury isn’t serious

 

[Cowshed Kid]

Wonder if Green Man have put their request into FA as being the SWA pub so we'll be at same end?
The fantasy of Maccs imploding is over. We're one point and one home game away.
There's only one team I don't want to meet at any stage and it's the Dragons.
Hopefully they'll be ousted before the playoffs

 

[Sparky]

2-0 Nors

 

[Cowshed Kid]

No foot off the throttle which is great

 

[Cowshed Kid]

Dragons getting beat!
Last season I was never confident going into playoffs and then Wembley.
We deserved to win at Shots but they showed in reverse fixture that it could have been so different.
Didn't go to Wembley with expectations. Told my son, whose 23, just enjoy the experience.
THIS IS OUR TIME!

It will be interesting to see who Micky plays for the remaining league games. Solihull effectively safe, so we could field a weakened team for both. Can see arguments for two approaches; avoid injuries/bans by resting key players, keep picking strongest line-up so players don’t become rusty and maintain the winning habit. Who’d be a manager...

 

[Ian]

True Boz although I’d play them in this form. Goals breed confidence and they can’t stop scoring at the moment.

Sorry to hear that AM.

If the players felt any disappointment after the Macc result, they did not show it today. We controlled the game pretty much from start to finish and could quite easily have scored five or six. It was a really professional performance and I think the players are just enjoying their football at the moment.

Cook and Norwood linked up brilliantly again and could have had two or three goals each. In midfield, I thought Hughes was superb again and Jennings also had a very good game. You could choose any one of those four as man of the match. By contrast, Halifax only had two efforts on goal of note: the first, a header which Davies saved at point blank range after Harris dived in a bit in the right back position; the second, the penalty. Other than that, the back four looked very comfortable again.

The only negatives were Buxton's injury (hopefully he only came off as a precaution) and a poor performance from Cole, who was rightly subbed off. Hopefully it was just a one-off, rather than a reversion to his early season form.

Anything can happen in a ninety minute play-off game, but I am also far more confident than I was this time last year. Our key players are fit and performing and I don't think any of the other play-off contenders look as strong as Shots, Daggers and FGR did last season. Here's hoping.
