Yeah he clearly doesn't watch much NL football apart from the matches he's covering or he'd known the opposite of what he said is true.

Agree about DKE too.

It’s good to not be over-confident. Luke Garrard is an elite game plannner at NL level. It won’t/ wouldn’t be easy. And why should it be? Only the best sides make and progress in the playoffs

Absolutely. Empty seats seem to be the majority here tonight. The clubs are 5 miles apart and it's a play-off game. And the stadium is tiny. What is the matter with the fans of these two clubs? That stadium should be rocking!

It’s interesting to see all those lads playing on the pitches behind. If you take away LW and his staff, there’s more on that Astroturf than Barnet fans in their stand which has the club bar. What is the matter with the fans? Pretty simple I think - there aren’t any.

Kind of justifies the EFL’s decision around 2 up. Reduces the chances of these clubs going up.

We’d definitely still be favourites but they’d have a lot more than a punchers chance.

Agree, there’s some good players at Boreham led by an underrated manager in Garrard… Ashmore, Fyfield, Evans, DKE and Ndluv are good players at this level. Ultimately for me it’s down to who outsmarts who in Williams or Garrard, Boreham concern me more in a knock-out style competition, regarding Chesterfield, if we get tbere, and tbey get tbere Im more confident of us playing our usual style and beating them.

Why would they bother turning out? They all know it's pointless as they won't get past the mighty Pies on Sunday XD (double cross fingers and everything else).

The stand Boredom are playing into this second half is almost empty, shocking turnout for such an important game
