No we play the winner of 5 v 6
Kidderminster play the winner of 4 v 7

Seem to remember Boston had an extra time game before playing us last season.
That didn’t work out so well.

I think taking the michael or having a laugh went out of fashion on here a couple of years ago Jury.

It’s only here now to allow us to be thankful to those that saved us from Hilton and to rehash rubbish from Facebook.

As it happens I agree with what Butler thinks regarding his squad. Buxton are the only team to take us on at football and better us on the day.

Butler still gets a pass mark from me if we win the playoffs.

[MK Iron]

No sense of entitlement here.

If someone gave me the best budget in the league (by a margin allegedly) and the best squad of players (Butlers words not mine) then I would be expecting promotion.

As for losing our centre forward for a few weeks shouldn’t be a problem given Butler has recruited 3 other centre forwards before the injury happened.

If Butler had taken over this squad/budget in the league above and escaped relegation I would be saying well done Andy.

[MK Iron]

Must have all happened while I was in the 30 minute queue for food.

We created the square root of feck all at 5th from bottom Radcliffe on a fine pitch.

Just listened to his Hereford pre match interview on Humberside.

We have been working on defending because we made a defensive error in each of the last 2 away games. Decided not to work on the issue of creating very few chances in either game. Speaks volumes.

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.

[MK Iron]

Agree NI. What on earth has it got to do with us?

[MK Iron]

With the resources and budget at his disposal this season is only a pass or a fail.

Promotion is a pass and the chance to take a much tougher exam next season. NLN for another season and it should be thanks and goodbye.

Same as it was for Dean last season.

I think the Linnets setting up their pitch to resemble a turnip field had more to do with his performance in last Fridays game than any issues with his attitude.

Completely disagree. It’s not the done thing. If there’s a particular wage structure in place for sustainability reasons it should apply to all.

It should Apollo but it doesn’t. Whatever level you play at.

There are helpers and there are people that actually do it.

Water carriers I think some French guy once called them.

Water carriers come a bit cheaper.

Duncan was an OK bloke. Clarke was an arsehole.

Better finisher though.

[MK Iron]

Not doubting the story Awaywego but in what parallel universe can it take almost a year and cost £3m to relay a plastic pitch?

It was the most shocking plastic pitch I’ve ever seen although Tamworth’s ran it close.

If there is one player worth bending (or even breaking) our wage structure for it is Roberts.

It would be crazy for him to stay here if we remain in NLN but if we did stagger through the play offs who knows. Personally I think now he has proved his long term fitness a few EFL clubs will be making him offers but currently no League 1 or 2 clubs in his neck of the woods unless York win the National League playoffs.

[MK Iron]

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

[MK Iron]

Saying you will put money into a club and actually doing it are very different things Awaywego.

The only interesting thing to watch out for on Saturday is who ends up 7th.

They get an away game at Chester on Wednesday to determine who comes to the Attis the following Sunday.

Us putting in a decent away performance is probably above miracle status. Farsley getting a point or three is even less likely.

Southport could fluke a result but only if the Kidderminster defence gift them enough goals – a bit like we did at Southport.

When Starbuck passed straight to an opponent for the tenth time in a row yesterday I thought Nicholson had returned in disguise.

Fortunately Starbuck improved as the game progressed. Brad never did. Worst passer I’ve ever seen in an Iron shirt.

Boston favour distance over accuracy so it works for him there.

[MK Iron]

He couldn’t play a striker at Scarborough or he wouldn’t have been able to play 4 centre backs.

I’ve left a few away grounds angry and confused this season but Scarborough was the only one I entered the ground feeling that way.

I would want better odds than that.

A Southport stumble for Kidderminster is unlikely but possible. A Farsley stumble for Brackley is fantasy.

[MK Iron]

Working that day so had to settle for the stream. Agree though was a decent performance.

That’s 3 then so far. Brackley, Leamington and Shields. Any advance on 3 anyone?

[MK Iron]

I decided they couldn’t be that sh1te again.

I was correct, They were worse.

6 hours driving, queueing 45 minutes for inedible food and then a parking ticket after paying nearly £6 to park (ticket fell off the windscreen). Just an all round fun day. Away games this season have certainly been a test of loyalty. Last good day was Brackley in August.

Judgement probably best left to folks that actually saw it.

I was there but sadly missed the action which was a shame given the total lack of any action in the preceeding 2 hours.

[MK Iron]

Love to keep Roberts and Fitz but highly unlikely. Wouldn’t mind if Kouogan and Beestin stayed.

Not fussed about the rest.

[MK Iron]

I think I read somewhere Brackley have never won at Leamington in about 12 attempts.

All irrelevant we need to prepare to carry our white flags into the playoffs trying to clean sheet our way to promotion.

[MK Iron]

Still on there according to their app.

Peterborough game is also on their schedule now.
