Hereford

[MK Iron]

A meaningless game in terms of results.

A perfect opportunity to exorcise the ghosts of Radcliffe and Kings Lynn.

Send the team out to score more goals than the opposition rather than go for the usual clean sheet and scratch a goal strategy that has killed our chances of automatic promotion.

If it doesn’t work Andy you can always revert to type if we are fortunate enough to reach the play off final.

Bulls 3-0 Iron

The result will mean everything to Hereford.

I know what you’re saying, but that’s not quite true… Mathematics says that there could still, even at this fifty-ninth second of the fifty-ninth minute of the eleventh hour, be some sort of a twist.

Even the miracle scenarios involve us having to win Apollo. Probably by a hatfull of goals as well.

I know, but that’s not actually outside the realms of possibility.

For the record, I’m not expecting to win, and I don’t think it’s probable that we’ll get any kind of result. But it’s not actually impossible. We could still be Champions.

“HEREFORD boss Paul Caddis said his side will ‘attack’ their final league game of the season on Saturday when they welcome third placed Scunthorpe.”

Not meaningless to them then. If Butler decides to attack it could be a good watch.

It’s not meaningless to us, either. As I keep saying, despite the unlikely scenario required, it’s still mathematically possible to be Champions, with a win at Hereford being one of the essential moving parts.

There is no alternative he has to attack because it creates momentum.

Counter attacking theory is to fail. Give the travelling fans something to cheer for 90 minutes.

Just beat Hereford lads, be in the lead at halftime and watch Kiddie and Brackley bottle it.

[Deereyme66]

If I was remotely religious I’d be praying for 2nd place having sacked off being champions

[64]

I could be wrong but weren’t we underdogs for promotion at Chester many moons ago?

Brackley are at home to Farsley.

The only mathematics you need bother about is how many they’ll win by.

We ain’t going up automatically. Trust me!

Not really looking back 64, Bury played free scoring Wimbledon 96 goals and a 51 goal difference and who won the league with 98 points.
Must admit though in my head and many more we were the underdogs, Wimbledon did a professional job on them unlike Wigan that Time when they played a weakened team including a reserve goalie and cost us a playoff place.

[MK Iron]

Just had a look at the fixtures for the other playoff contenders and if Hereford don’t get 3 points there’s a very good chance they won’t make the cut. Chorley, Buxton and Curzon all have very winnable games.

[another fed up fan]

Hereford have to win it’s another of those free hits for us so 3-2 either way

[Rene Artois]

The most & least likely permutations:

Southport win 10/1
Farsley win 13/2
Scunny win 6/5

Bookies Odds = 180/1
Implied Probability = 0.55%

Southport win 10/1
Farsley draw 4/1
Scunny win 6/5

Bookies Odds = 120/1
Implied Probability = 0.83%

Kiddy win 2/7
Brakly win 1/4
Scunny win 6/5

Bookies Odds 5/2
Implied Probability = 28.33%

Kiddy win
Brakly win
Hereford win

Bookies Odds 7/2 (actually 3.66/1)
Implied Probability = 21.50%

Enjoy the beer & sun!

There’s a good possibility we could experience a largish defeat on Saturday… say 3-0

Hereford & Curzon are on the same points and goal difference.
Hereford currently sit in 7th having scored far more goals than Curzon.

Those two are going to be at it hammer & tongs to beat the other in terms of goals scored on Saturday. And, desperately defending to avoid conceding.

They are both guaranteed to put a shift+ in!

Our boys… they’ll have their eyes on the SF PO game – and perhaps not picking up a knock / injury?

It could be our ‘perfect storm’

[ironfromafar]

Absolutely can not see us beating Hereford tomorrow .. for the reasons mentioned elsewhere AB will be thinking too much about the opposition to set up to have a proper go , predict another lackluster Iron away showing .. Hereford will want the win more and get the points.

Hereford 3 Scunny 1

Hope as many fans as possible get to the Westlands FC club house pre match. ENJOY the food beers n weather.

This season has taught us that AB sets up his team very negatively when playing away, and I cannot see tomorrow being any different. I hope I am wrong however; I think we will get steam rolled by a determined Hereford and will be on the wrong side of a 3-0.

[Rene Artois]

Head: Bulls 2-1 Iron
Heart: Bulls 0-5 Iron
Gut: Bulls 3-0 Iron

As ever, 1-1 is the shortest price.

[Iron-awe]

Whitehall crocked or rested? Yes we know what AB said in his pre match interview about Whitehall but he was 50/50 when first injured, almost there then didn’t play for another month, what do we all reckon?

[Northumbiron]

Reckon we’ve settled for third place!

[CMC]

1-0 Carlton

[Deereyme66]

Kiddie still losing? 2nd place dream is alive!

Might be second, ahead of the champions elect.

Stays like this I’ll look forward to not hearing from Harrier Nick later

If it stays like this Tango Man will turn Blood Orange, bit like a mini Trump.

[premier iron]

Kiddi now 2-0 down

[Rene Artois]

Bloody knife edge for 2nd.
A goal to Bulls or one for Kiddy and we slip back to third.
Pass me another beer.

[toffee]

Pulled one back, it’s now 2-1
