hows the pitch

[Sean Chambers]

When we get relegated might as well get a plastic pitch for our part-timers.

Won't be knocking on the EFL door for some considerable time I doubt.

Are we definitely getting relegated then, 16 games to go let’s see what happens and not throw the towel in just yet.

I'd still put plastic down as we won't be pushing for the EFL anytime soon .

I agree with you with we wont be pushing for the Football League anytime soon especially under the current regime, but I don't want a 4G personally.

Still no word on the pitch from the club so it must be ok .

Expect that at about 2pm on Saturday

Thankyou for that, I can have a day off.

[SteveyAsp]

I would have come to the game on Saturday with the better half, but I no longer trust the club to get the game on and would therefore be concerned about a postponement and a wasted trip.

When you live a long way away I’m afraid it’s not an option, I think there is quite a few in my position.

Club losing money all over the place at the moment. Due to incompetence!

Surely this game can’t be off, hardly any rain for 2 weeks now

Raining quite hard today but yeah you'd hope the repaired drain will see us through. Hard to see how it might be dangerous.

[RC-Moderator]

The amount of rain locally today is quite a worry for me. Pretty steady/heavy today.

It has rained where I live but absolutely nowhere near calling a match off you would think

[Triggers Broom]

Twists and turns for some, maybe.

Not us.

This squad doesn’t have enough about them to get out of trouble.

Very sad times!

I've said it before but I think this squad is good enough to be competing for a play off place. It's the bizarre team selections that are really costing us.

On another thread there's been a discussion about whether it's too late to sack TW. It's not! I would expect a new man in charge to play in form players in their best positions, which would naturally mean Theo being given the hook.

Tell why it looks good enough for play offs it's a poor side . The only decision TW has got right is dropping Maghoma

NL Standard:

Dewhurst
Armitage
Woodhouse
Ellison
Frost
R Jones
Tetek
Henry
Barrett
Barham

You can add Harfield before his unfortunate season ending injury. And possibly Jenkins but I've not seen enough of him to judge properly.

That's the basis of a decent enough starting 11 that should be pushing for play offs (and I would argue a few of those could cut it in L2). But if you make bizarre team selections, leaving out in form players, basically plays with 10 men plus 1 other who just stands around directing traffic, plays people out of position to shoehorn in his favourites, seems incapable of any adjustment to tactics and is in denial of our league position - One win in ELEVEN league games now or just three in TWENTY FOUR (crisis? what crisis?) - then I'm afraid the NLS beckons.

Potentially 6 new grounds for me to visit next season then in NLS. Hopefully not!

The Augustus Restaurant Taunton, for lunch….fantastic, and so much better than a miserable afternoon in Carlisle!

Postscript: 13 points from our last 16 games is a bit short of Tommy’s prediction that we will win more than we lose to the end of the season.

Forget Widdrington's predictions..he comes out with more hot air than a steam engine.

We'd much rather Aldershot played at Carlisle than Taunton as it would mean NL status.

Those in charge "upstairs" need to grow a pair and, along with the management, get things moving

Maybe he could breathe over the pitch , thaw it and dry it out.

We are not alone. Quote from a mate who follows Notts County everywhere. He suffered from late postponements, twice - at Fylde!

AFC Fylde v Notts County 14/01/20 & 25/02/20.

"On both nights, I was in the AFC Fylde bar when, with about an hour to go before kick-off, the game was called off "

But was your mate encouraged to travel to Fylde having been told the game is definitely on and no pitch inspection required?

I’d agree with the names you have there. Shame some of them aren’t actually our players. I would also potentially add Akpan to the list although he’s not the finished article. Would be very happy to not see any of the others again.
