⚽Match Thread vs. Bromley FC 04.03.23 [NL]

Could be a title-deciding second half. If we come back from this adversity and win, the confidence boost would be massive. If we don't, then it's probably time to start preparing ourselves mentally for the play-offs. A draw wouldn't really be enough, but would at least put us back on top before Wrexham play.

COYP, give it everything.

Agreed, if we lose this we're out of the title race and will go stumbling into the play offs. The plus side if both the playoff games will be played on excellent GRASS pitches but we'll need to get our concidence back.

Not heard much of Langstaff, Rodders Nemane or Jones ( or have I tuned in to a five a side match?). Shows how poor we've been!!! Luke Williams has really got to earn his corn today..

The freakish circumstances of last week’s defeat, plus losing our best defender and losing the goalkeeper was always going to make todays game tough, aside from it being Bromley as well.

Big second half coming up though, fair to say champions overcome all that, if we lose today we’re pretty much done when it comes to finishing top.

I always imagine LW's half-time team talks being quite cerebral. Perhaps today's the day for the Mike Bassett approach!

Agree, but it highlights how poor the squad is overall.

Most of our moves normally start with Slocombe and Baldwin.
Today we don't have that. Just shows, even though they both have a mistake in them, they are actually pretty crucial.

Our squad isn't poor. If it was, we wouldn't have such an extraordinary points total already.

The reality is, we're up against an opponent in Wrexham with freakishly strong squad depth that you would never normally see in this league. We need to keep things in perspective and not do ourselves down. Even if we lose today, we're still having an incredible season.

[jackal2]

Kairo Mitchell sent off for Eastleigh!

Why would you say we have a poor squad? Our points per game is astonishing. I really don't get this hysteria.
