Sutton are still going to have something to play for on Saturday. The game is MASSIVE for them.

If they win and turn around a 5 goal difference between then and Colchester, they stay up. Although, they still need Colchester to lose to Crawley.

Throw the game and keep AFC's rivals up? 8-)

We still owe Colchester a favour for 2015, so no!

Sutton are gonna come here and lump the fuck at things.

We could really do without a game like that.


No injuries, no red cards.

Do you rest players or do use it to prepare for the play offs? I guess both have different risks.

I can't deny that Doncaster's run is absolutely incredible. 10 games unbeaten in a row. Anyone know where they were in the table at the start of the year?

The only thing I'd say is their run of fixtures has been pretty favourable. The only decent team they've played over the last 10 games really is Wrexham. Everyone else has either been out of form or just genuinely shit. Regardless, their run is still extremely impressive.

They finish their regular season at once again, an out of form team in Gillingham. They'll then likely face an out of form team in Crewe, while we take on an in-form Bradford :roll:

Beginning to think Barrow might be the best outcome for us. Obviously a horrible trip on a bank holiday Monday but they really are in an awful run of form.


Crewe for me, 2 wins in their last 11, fairly close in the grand schemes of league 2 locations, and when they came to us they had pretty much nothing other than a Dan Harvie slip

Right, now tonight's games are done, we could still face any one of 6 different teams (although some are much more likely than others). Here's Saturday's important fixtures:

AFC v Walsall
Barrow v Mansfield
Bradford v Newport
Colchester v Crewe
Crawley v Grimsby
Gillingham v Doncaster

From those 6 teams, the only one's I desperately want to avoid are Doncaster and Bradford. Think there would be reasons to be positive about any of the others.

I reckon we’ll play Crewe in the semis and the other will be Doncaster v Barrow.

I’m not fretting about Doncaster, they’ve been on an excellent run which will end soon, they’re not invincible, far from it.

So, Col U play Crewe - both sides just need a point. Nailed on.
