    So what reason do you think will see next Saturday match called off. Floodlights breaking, a swarm of Locusts eating all the grass, a satellite falling out of the sky and landing in the middle of Abby Stadium?

    I'm tempted not to even bother posting the Round 22 prediction league entry thread as I've done it what 4 times now :)

    I see Crawley have just sold their top goal scorer Watter it would have been the right time to play them before he is replaced

    Gone to Cardiff, that's a panic buy and a half!

    Literally been there for 5 months, before that he was failing to impress on loan from Donny at non league clubs.

    Apparently he was very close to signing for Maidstone United before Crawley rolled the dice.

    Look, I've said it before at League Two level, you literally can't tell where the top scorer is going to come from. All the analysis in the world of a player's record really doesn't matter as much as how a player fits into a set up.

    I'll give you another. We would 1 point from Grimsby if they had won so a draw was the best possible result. Now you move on. Nothing to see or worth crying about here

    I'll give you one.

    Stevenage played Tranmere and gain 1 point in a game which most would have thought they would lose. Due to that point now it's they are point closer.

    If Grimsby would have beaten Southend then Southend would have a point less meaning they would be 5 points behind us not 4.

    Anyway, brush your teeth and move on. Yesterdays news.

    And its two points dropped for tranmere meaning we win the rearranged Cowley game and we are two closer to them.

    Look up the table not down. Tranmere are within our sights easily

    Too much negativity on here. Yes we are in a poor league position but having no game the past three weeks, not much damage has been done. The un -inforced break might have come at a bad time form wise but it has also given weary legs a chance to rest,injuries time to heal. the management team time to get more of their message across and time to re-mould the squad.
    Every cloud has a sliver lining , the saying goes and that's how i am looking at it.

    We are always poor in January, so all these postponed games this month might be to our advantage!

    I think the rain is only around for Tues and Weds. Thursday should be brighter. Chance of snow on Saturday but honestly it hardly snows down here compared to up there! Even when it rains loads the bloody ground is still rock solid! Hopefully it's on.

    Well it all makes sense now doesnt it. It explains why we called it off before bothering to send gritters out on friday night.

    at least we never came into contact with them and don’t have to isolate too.

    Apparently Crawley were on their way when the decision was made, surely they would have known the situation with regards their players rather than setting off to full fill the fixture.

    It is possible that the person(s) who subsequently tested positive may not have been aware of it when they set off. However they still could have infected somebody from the City contingent. I don't think for one minute that there was anything out of order from Crawley. We have to give them the benefit of the doubt.
