predictions for this weekend

[MargateFan]

A 3-1 will do me. Don't care who scores them, will jump up and down and holler in any case.

 

Hilaire to get the Hendon one.

 

About 700 if we are lucky (or 701 if Rams play away and our closet fan needs a fix).

[I am Spartacus]

I find if I make a prediction on here it never comes close but, if I tell Mark as I pass the tea bar it is generally right or very close. So will tell Mark on Saturday.

[TonyM]

We all know that after a good away win we somewhat dont do the job at home games,we should win and I hope we can win by at least 3 or 4 goals,we must, not just for the points but to get the fans back to HDP.

[Chris1]

Hilaire now plays for Erith and Belvedere. So says Margate History site and others.

 

Don't think Darren Watson is still at Hendon either, or at least hasn't played this season.

 

I will go 7-0 Gate, with attendance 611, ever the optimist. Or perhaps more likely: postponed due to waterlogged pitch.

According to Hendons web site -

 

Ian Hilaire

 

Striker who joined the club from Ramsgate in September 2006 making his debut as a substitute against Billericay Town. Also played for Margate.

 

An interesting one here too, the name rings a bell...

 

Francois Gabbidon

 

18 year old young defender who has now progressed to the first team having impressed in recent years for the youth and reserve teams.

 

Any relation to West Hams Danny Gabbidon? Anyone know??

[Chris1]

Tony if you look on Hendon's player list Hilaire is shown as a 'player who has left the club'. He played for E&B on 1 November. They changed manager after that game and he is not listed since.

 

Does anybody know more?

[michael]

I see many are predicting Jay to score.

 

Question is-will he get in the team?

 

RT does have an understandable habit of keeping 'faith' in a winning side.

 

imo Jay should/must play but who makes way?

Abbo had a storming second half.

[Chris1]

I would give Pinnock a rest and play Jay up front with Danny.

[michael]

I can see your logic ,but i think you should always play players in their best positions,and not tinker too much.

Equally not mess Jay around too much

Ah yes, just seen it! Thank you Chris, I stand corrected!

[TonyM]

Agree with MM there.

I agree in general, but I was thinking more of 4-4-1-1, because Danny is such a good target man, and Jay such a good provider. I am thinking of flick-ons etc.

Let's face it, Jamie plays so deep that's what we look like most of the time anyway.

That win at Horsham on Saturday will have put the wind up the rest of the league! YOU ARE THE BEST! NEVER MIND THE REST! Pile it on against Hendon. NO MERCY. COME ON YOU BLUES ! ! ! !

Hendon player to watch out for is Takumi Ake. Little Japanese player, usually comes off the bench for them. Does tend to drift out of games and doesn't like the rough stuff but is very skilful.

3-1 Margate....att 583

[MargateMan]

5-1 to the 'Gate, Hockton x 3, Trott and Abbott

[Cookie]

I'm with you MM. 5-1. I think the team are going to turn it on for the home fans this week to make up for the Staines game.Lets hope so anyway. Scorers? I don't care who scores really though to see Danny stay top of that scorers league would be nice. So maybe a few from him but anyone else scoring will do for me. Att.623

[BlueGate Alan]

Hope you are right with all these big score lines.

 

In todays paper Trotty says "Playing away from home suits our style, teams have to take us on rather than put men behind the ball when the visit" He goes on to say "He is convinced that it won't be long before we are playing with the same syle in our home games, once we have got to grips with the fact that a lot of clubs will come to Hartsdown looking for a point and just playing on the break.

 

Lets hope they come to grips with Hendon on Saturday as I am sure they will pack their defence.
