March Games

Post by LCBAFC40 » Mon Mar 08, 2021 11:21 am

Just looking at our next match vs Walsall who have drawn 3 and lost 4 of last 7 games. We have lost 5 and won 2 in same period so this is a don't lose match ! Walsall haven't been battered by anyone and have done OK against some big sides so its going to be a hard fought game. Walsall then play Bolton, Southend and Grimsby so fingers crossed we play them on a bad day then they improve and help us out!
We then play Cheltenham, Crawley, Grimsby and Stevenage this month. Going to be a nervous month looking at these games when we really need to pick up points. Cheltenham playing well but we were great against them last time, Crawley scored 4 against us, we lost at Grismby and Stevenage nicked a point from us at home. I'd hope we get at least 8 points in March - I'll snap your hand off for more points. We were unlucky to lose to Salford, Bradford, Bolton and Harrogate in.my opinion. If we just get that "don't switch off" mentality right like on Saturday against Mansfield then theres no reason we can't pick up at least 1 point per game. We've got to create chances and more importantly we need to take at least 1 per game to stand a chance...

Could do with Colchester and port Vale also losing a few to bring them into the fight !

They seem to be trying their best to help us especially Colchester who are in total free fall atm, The table will look much better Friday night when we win

Why is the Walsall game on Friday night?

Is it live on tv?

No, it's not on tv. Both clubs agreed to move the game which was originally scheduled for last night. But neither had a game at the weekend so it was rearranged for Friday by mutual consent.
Don't let the old man in.

Also gives both teams an extra day to prepare for playing on the following Tuesday night - us away at Cheltenham & Walsall at Crawley. Good & sensible move for both clubs.

Would've been great to go there on a Friday night. Straight down the M6 off at junction 9 and literally straight into the ground. I like the Bescott its a good viewing ground been to a lot of games there. Would have been one of my dreams to see Barrow there hopefully will make that trip next season.

Really missed the away trips this season. Saved a fortune but Mrs Edge hopes they start next season.

I think Friday night will be a 'good indicator' as to whether we survive or not.

Walsall are hard to beat. I would take a point away from home but I think this is one of the games that we need to win.
We have several away games and 6 home games I think so 39 points to play for. Im sure teams have survived in the 45 point range ? So if that were true we need at least say 4 more wins and a few draws from 13 games, easier said than done but it is possible. Massive step if we win on Friday esp if those around us lose on Saturday as we have 1-4 games in hand on a few teams around us.

Let’s just do as Rob Kelly says and just take each game as it comes
We could look at every permutation going over all the games coming up but it wouldn’t get us anywhere

We have Walsall Friday - deal with that one and see where we are after that

True - we play 1 game at a time and it is pointless really to look too far ahead

Well, yeah.
Its probably gonna be points from games that we never expected to get that might work for us.
