Grimsby v Ebbsfleet match thread

If we beat Macclesfield and Kiddiminster,

Draw at Mansfield and Forest Green,

That will do me.

Quoted from ginnywings

Well said.

I personally think we will end up in the play offs, solely because we don't pick up enough away points. With our home record and match up against the top 6 sides, we would be way out in front now if we could pick up more wins away. Only 5 so far which is on a par with teams middle to bottom of the league. Three of our rivals got that vital goal tonight away from home.

This is not negativity, it is fact, backed up by the league table.

Quite right.

Quoted from grimsby pete

I would have thought our right back would mark their left wing.

Jack Mackreth can play both sides but the last game saw him play was when they was on Premier Sports and he played on Aswad's side, thats why i thought they where resting him.

Forthcoming fixtures:

Wrexham: Alfreton (H), Ebsfleet (H), Dartford (A), Lincoln (A)
Kiddy: Ebbsfleet (H), Gateshead (A), Grimsby (A)
Newport: Hyde (A), Hereford (A), Ebbsfleet (H)
Mansfield: Telford (H), Woking (A), Stockport (H), Grimsby (H)
Grimsby: Macclesfield (A), Forest Green (A), Kidderminster (H), Mansfield (A)

Ours look the hardest on paper, and Wrexham's look the easiest.

Newports game with us is at Ebbsfleet, not at Newport. I think we will do you a favour in that one, although I dont see us getting much from the games at Wrexham & Kiddy, but we can but hope!

I have mixed feelings about Grimsby going up though - you're supporters really seem a decent bunch and despite your League history, haven't adopted the smug Big Time Charlie approach of some (and one in particular) of the other ex League clubs. So from that perspective I'd like to be playing you guys again next season. But on the other hand, with the same thing in mind, you supporters would deserve promotion. We had a decent game with you at our place, played in a really good spirit. You are definitely one of the better teams, if not the best (only Macclesfield spring to mind as matching you and we gave them a major helping hand with a dreadful performance that night) so again from that aspect, you would, in my book, deserve promotion.

All the best for the rest of the season (especially when playing our relegation rivals!)

We must win the Macc and FG games and not lose the other 2 of you get my meaning as we are still in the driving seat regarding Kiddy and Mansfield

What about Wrexham ?

Ours look the hardest on paper, and Wrexham's look the easiest.

I look on that list as an opportuinty. We can beat all of those sides, no one else sems able to right now, So our destiny is in our own hands. If we win those four then we are really in the driving seat.  In some ways I fancy us more aginst the top sides than the strugglers.

It's a foregone conclusion that you will stuff them. Didn't think it needed saying.
