Predictions for Saturday?

[Dutch_Mike]

Bar a very dramatic turn in fortune from now til the end of the season, it is looking increasingly likely that both us and Bognor will be towards the bottom come the end of the season, meaning this is a real 6-pointer. And given our recent poor results against teams who are also likely to be strugglers (Harrow and Cray), even more rests on this result, you would think.

 

Know we are capable of scoring plenty, but also likely that we will concede as well. All things considered: I'm going for a 4-2 away win. Looking forward to the game. Come on you Blues!

[BlueGate Alan]

3-1 to us

[Pagey]

we wont concede the nil. 1-0 to us

[BlueGate Alan]

Ok Michael, sorry I mean Pagey

[Porka]

Got a feeling we might deliver this week. I'm gonna plump for a 3-0 away win. I trust the players will really apply themselves and give us something to cheer.

 

Missed our Conference South game there so this will be my first visit to their ground. Did Trego score in that game? Odds on the goalkeeper scoring this time?

[Coffin Ender]

Trego scored at Eastbourne. Bognor's home record is poor so we should be looking for something.

[djw]

3-2 to us......We will still leak goals !!

[michael]

Before predicting, does any one know whether Dan Young may be back this week.

It would make a massive difference to the defence.

 

His injury seems to be dragging on a bit

[geoff pay]

We leaked two early goals at Bognor but got lucky deflected goal and a cracker from Che rescued apoint.

[Cookie]

A very very confident 2-0 win at Bognor.

[Cookie]

Bognor's home record is poor so we should be looking for something

 

Not so bad at home!

 

9 out of their 11 points have been gained at home. (10 home games played)

 

HOWEVER

 

8 out of their 10 home goals have been scored in the second half

We need to hit them hard in that 1st 45.

[Cookie]

We need to hit them hard in that 1st 45

And defend better in the 2nd half (naturally)

[Iris's Tea Hut]

I'll just settle for scoring one more than them.

[AncientBlue]

I'm with you on that, I.T.H.

[Blues with Soul.]

That compliments our record of conceding 6 out of our last 8 goals in the second half in the last 3 RLP games.

Should be an interesting last 45 minutes.

[Cookie]

Indeed Robert indeed BUT I have every confidence we will not concede this time.However,if we do, not enough to draw or lose this game anyway.Hitting them for 6 (literally if possible) in the 1st half is the key.

It's a MUST WIN game & I think the lads will be on song today all over the park & for the full 90 minutes.

 

Now then you players don't let me/us down today now will you?

 

Lets see where positive talk gets us.

[michael]

I guess this is the first pressure game for MB- a game that he is expected to win !

 

Oh dear-that sounds like trouble to me.

It may not be good on this forum at 5pm tonight if we don't win.

 

Personally ,i'll stick with tradition and be happy with an away draw-i'd take a point now.

 

As for the actual result,unfortunately i think we will lose.

 

It looks like DY is out, and although to be fair, i have not seen our new central defenders,i don't think MB has quite got the 'new side' right yet-still very much work in progress and just feel it will still get worse before it gets better.

3-1 defeat with a player from each side sent off.(up until now-the discipline record has been good this season i think)

Long term-remain very confident-today-not so good.

 

Up the 'Gate

[Cookie]

Well one of us will be right Michael. Lose & lose similarly to lately & I agree tonight will not be a good night on here. Draw & I doubt things will be much better.

 

0-2 & STILL confident though ! We can't play & defend badly today we just cannot afford to. Defensively we HAVE to have learned by now from our past errors.

 

Mind you plenty of rain overnight here. Will they have had the same? Will there even be a game?. Have to work today so good luck all. All fingers crossed here!

[AncientBlue]

Indeed Cookie - If the amount of rain up here was repeated down in Bognor, will the game be in doubt? Certainly hope not!

 

The last thing we need is another postponement.

 

COME ON THE GATE!

[Chris1]

They didn't have any rain. I am hoping to get there and do updates (if wanted) on the quick forum. We are guaranteed to win anyway- they are bottom of the league. 2-1 to us.
