Latest on Play Offs situation....

[Notts78]

I've had a quick scout around the websites of the play off contender's and it appears all of them have managed to retain the majority of their playing staff. So recent form, team morale and confidence will still be a contributing factor however due to the long break and lack of training it might be preparation and fitness that plays the biggest part.

Isn’t it always?

I think Notts and Harrogate will be at an advantage especially if the league decides on Saturday QF, Tuesday/Wednesday SF and then the final on following weekend. We would have several extra days training to prepare whilst the other 4 teams would be playing and resting.
Yes we won’t get the advantage of that one game, but will that really make that much of a difference? Time will tell.

Looking at Halifax Town twitter they have put that if the vote goes for the playoffs they would be away in the first game in the 18th July! So loads of time to prepare. Even get in some friendlies for fitness. Forest and Derby might need to keep some fringe players game fit
