    It's this GA team. Last season we beat Vale on the rise, we hammered Walsall when they were looking unreal. But then we dropped points against the Tranmere, Newport, Harrogates etc of the league pretty frequently. Same this season, we pump Cardiff, Huddersfield and Luton early on and Stockport twice this season, but we've also lost twice to Burton, dropped points to Rotherham, Northampton early on and losses to Wimbledon and Orient too.

    We can show up against a good side, we can often fall against weaker sides. Bolton are hit and miss on form lately but mainly it's wins they aren't finding as often as they did and are drawing a lot. They recently lost to Vale away, and they were comfortably the worst side we've faced this season just a week or so before. I have a feeling this weekend will be another big win and then we lose next week at Exeter.

    Sorry if it has already been mentioned (I must have missed it) but the trains are running between Shipley and Foster Square tomorrow which is a pain in the backside for everyone Aire Valley side of Bradford who weren't going via Car.

    less than 200
    Its wierd how random ones keep popping up on the website
    Is this people telling the club that they can not attend tomorrow, so the seat can be re sold, or is our system just bonkers?

    Yeah I do, "NOT Running". Quite a key typo.

    Big game tomorrow guys and all to play for for both teams. We know we’re without Tutu tomorrow at RB as he’s suspended but Christie will fill in there. The only problem is that he can’t do 90 minutes and we don’t really have another replacement so that could be an issue. There could be one other missing according to Schuey which could be Forino who had a bad head wound last time out. Missing those two would be a big blow as we don’t really have any perfect replacements and defensively we’ve been less than impressive recently even with everyone fit. Attack wise we’re finally beginning to fire with both Cozier-Duberry and Johnny Kenny back fit and really impressing. With Rodrigues now also fit and pulling the strings we’ve looked a different team in the last few games. As others have said, a point would suit both of us but we also want to finish 3rd or 4th for a second leg home tie so I honk both teams will go for it. We’ve got Lutonnat the Reebok in our final game next week so hopefully we can keep them out of the play offs unless the Tykes do us both a favour tomorrow and stifle them. Exciting times so just let’s hope whatever happens it’s a good game with the right result and no stupid impacts by poor officials who need to understand how important this game is to both teams./

    I was praying for the game to be knocked back due to starting work at 4pm, and today I had to get reimbursed for my ticket coz my measly bosses wouldn’t let me have two hours off so I could go to the game. Gutted really. It being the memorial game tomorrow and a full house in the sunshine, enjoy everyone CTID!

    It’s fine , it’s me own fault should have asked weeks ago and I probably would’ve got it then, that’s shift work for you, I can go to playoff semis but working for the final so had better ask now. I’m semi retiring this summer so have just got a season ticket today for the first time in about 5 years❤️!!

    Anyone else feel that we need to win tomorrow? Trying to look at the permutations and feeling like a draw could put us in a must not lose situation against an Exeter side who will be battling for their life next weekend.

    We could have done without Stevenage and Stockport being the early kick offs tomorrow really. If they both win we'll be down to sixth before we've even kicked a ball, and that might make a few of the players legs start to wobble a bit.

    I have a funny feeling Donny might do us a bit of a favour tomorrow.

    I can't really justify it logically, but I feel like they might sneak a draw or a 1-0 win.

    it is Plymouth and Luton we need to watch. If they both fail to win then we are in the play offs.
