I’m pretty sure if we had needed to beat Eastleigh then we probably would have done.
There would not have been any “sympathy” appearances from players we have barely seen and probably won’t ever see again for a start. Your playing of your “reserves” against Hartlepool not only cost you any chance of a home game but also allowed us to rest key players.
I watched your game at the Monkey Hangers and it would seem like ourselves you have a decent 13 or 14 players but you’re scraping the barrel after that. York and Rochdale have the budgets for 20 or so decent players which is how you get 100 plus points I guess.
Been hoping for weeks that we arrive at the playoffs with most of our 14 fit and well and that seems to have happened. All the playoff games could go either way so bring it on.
Would be nice if one of the SUFC’s made it back to the EFL this season given the near terminal damage our respective toxic owners have subjected us to.
You are no doubt right on the Eastleigh front. It looks pretty much as if both teams have full squads available, although we have a doubt on Scott-Morriss. That being so there will be no excuses from either side due to missing players.
