Just wondering if anyone knows why some NL matches are on today, with the rest on Monday? Not that it matters much, except that if Bromley or Barnet win our lead could be cut. I'm dreading the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the predictable usuals if our lead is reduced to ONLY 4 POINTS (with only 3 games in hand)!!!

Can see Barnet dropping points today, Southend seem to be better away than at home. Can’t see Ebbsfleet getting anything at Bromley, but you never know with this league.

Expect Hartlepool to get rid of Askey if they lose today at Champions Oldham.

The truth is games in hand don’t matter until you play them and pocket the points. A cpl of weeks ago I doubt anyone thought anyone would be as close as 4 points again! Like a few of us said a few weeks ago let’s hope the FA Cup run doesn’t bite us!

I agree Mark. Games in hand all well and good if you pick up the points. Bromley are a real danger with the plastic pitch and a certain Mr Cheek. The Grimes sending off is going to cost us and open the door.

I see Cardwell not made it for Southend today. Shame.

It’s Saturday, 3pm. How come these matches are being streamed? I might see how Hobson is progressing.

After today Bromley will only have 9 league matches left on that plastic pitch and will have played 3 more home games than us and at best will still trail us by 4 points.

The Grimes sending off will affect a maximum of 2 league games.

Sorry, if I'm sounding so negative!!!!!!

One of the linesmen has pulled a muscle at Barnet. About the only exciting incident so far

[Mr Mercury]

Bromley 2-1

[Search & Destroy]

Down to 4 points

It’s turned around very quickly

[gordon_brittas]

To be honest if we don’t go up this year we will never go up.

Hats off to Bromley with their run, but we should really be winning this league comparing our resources to theirs.

Alot of our fans seem to think its all over and we will run away with it. I don't buy that.

[Search & Destroy]

It’s just sinking in the magnitude of Grimes brain dead actions

You write that with such belief and conviction. Personally, I have no idea what the effect will be. However, we'll know in 2 league games time, how wise, or foolish, your football insight is.
