saturday v Hendon

[paulc27]

So, do you think Justin will be tempted to rest a few players or will he go all out to ensure no slip ups with our best available 11? Personally I think we should go out there with the strongest line up.

I cant see us loosing so will say 2-0 to us and I reckon the attendance will be a little down due to southend having a massive game.

I reckon anyone with a knock should be rested maybe give the fringe or u-18s like Tom Poole a run out 2-1 Elder (2)

Hmmmmmm...complacency is something of a luxury, eh lads?

[c'mon ricay]

Well Gaz we can afford to be complacent in the luxiorous surrondings of the BTFC bar

[GazzaBTFC]

Over confiedent as well...

 

I wouldn't be...there is still a lot of football to play for, so lets keep the pressure up and take nothing for granted.

[c'mon ricay]

I shouldnt really be overconfident as should learn this after over ten years of following the super blues but I am in a good but very hungover mood so lets be over confident as it is highly unlikely we wont get second spot. Usually I am a negative miserable [****!!****] current probably down to amount still in my system following 9 hour cider bender

Those of us with medium term memories will recall it was a foregone conclusion we’d roll over Berko back in 1997. The post match atmosphere from that game is one of the darkest days for many of us Blues fans. Unless you’re Grays Athletic and have the luxury of knowing you can’t be caught you must never be complacent in football. Justin and Matt were right in saying after Tuesday night that players, officials and fans had been let down by the 2nd-half performance at Worthing. I’m sure they won’t let it happen again.

I think we'd all feel very silly if we put a weakened line up out and ended up finishing third. Weve had no problems playing Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday in the past, so no need to rest players. Im sure noone at the club is feeling complacent, and we want to go into the play offs off the back of a win if possible. I predict a 1-0 win with Cousins on the sheet. Attendance 350.

I think you've got 2nd place wrapped up - and judging by the reserve/fringe side we're fielding at Dover so do our management. We have had so many injuries we're wrapping up our first team in cotton wool until Wednesday.

 

We're just happy to have made the play-offs in our first season. At the start of the season I'd have been over the moon to have made the play-offs - so anything else is a bonus for us.

 

That's not being negative - I'm just a realist. Let's face it. We were just a bunch of Wessex League also rans just 3 or 4 years ago and now we are 2 wins away from the Conference South. That is a magnicent achievement.

[Simon BTFC]

To be honest I would rather we rested players and finished third, but with players fresh for the play-offs, than we went all out for 2nd place and then put out a knackered XI to play on Tuesday...

 

I expect the likes of Ross and Danny K to get a game, but I doubt we'll see wholesale changes.
