I think you're right about the Town first leg. Everyone predicting (hoping) for a convincing win - it won't be, it'll be either a draw or one goal in it. If it's a draw, all hell will break loose.

Second leg will be very similar. My advice would be to wear a big nappy or get the Imodium in.

Town will win all three games 10-0 before beating Halifax 1-0 AET at Wembley (due to horrendous hangovers).

Dover  1 FGR 1
FGR 2 Dover 1

Town 1 Braintree 0
Braintree 1 Town 1

Town 1 FGR 2 - well they did finish second (to our 4th) over 46 games so like last year it would perhaps be only fair.

Incidentally if we lose in the semis or at Wembley in the playoffs I just hope Hurst has the courtesy to resign and fu(k off before the Tinpot Trophy final. Seeing him smirking and basking in the glory as we beat Halifax after failing once again to get promotion would be just too much

There seems to be a lot of mixed thoughts on here.  Why all this pessimism. I thought we had agreed to give all the encouragement we could muster. I have been busting a gut to call some f*cker but I haven,t done for 3 days 14 hours  16  minutes and 14 seconds so I am saying Town will win all remaining matches 3 - 1.

It's the hope that kills you.

I am predicting a 0-2 defeat for us on Thursday. Hope I am wrong.

Regardless of what has happened over the season our fate is decided over two and hopefully the next three games. PH will prove his worth ( or expose himself as the " nearly man " ) over these games. For him failure is not an option and I hope that if he does fail ( dread the thought ) that the Board will have the temerity to dismiss him and get somebody who can deliver the goods.

We'll gub Brizzle Rovers 4-0 and they'll have their keeper sent off.

Earlier in the season we always won 4-1, so I say we will win all 3 games 4-1 with 3 Podge hatricks.  9 goals will be clearances to Monkhoise who heads on to Bogle who knocks it down for Podge to turn and bend into top corner Woking style.  One will be a mazy run and score from Arnold, another the same from Bogle and finally a diving header from a Nolan corner by Disley.  Easy!

Do not care what the other two sides do,

Or who we play in the final,

As long as we are back in the league next season I will be more than happy.

Because of health problems I will be watching Town on the telly 4 times in the next 2 + weeks,

To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

If Nathan is mentally ready after his short break - I would revise those predictions significantly upwards. We need two types of threat, again.

On Nath, if he can emulate his form in the play offs last year, and if Omar can recapture his early season form and the back 4 rediscover that incredible solidarity we had prior to Halifax then we are in a very good position. Prior to Halifax, Toto and Gowling conceded 7 in 17. Fantastic record but 13 in 7 since!

Bogle, Podge, and Nolan all sent off for fighting over who was going to take penalty in the 5th minute. Penalty eventually taken by Hoban who blasted the ball high and wide over the Findus stand. Hoban was also sent off after a plea to the referee by Paul Hurst. Town eventually won a lucky victory 3 - 1 after a hat trick by Monkhouse who was substituted in the 72 nd minute.Town supporters now await anxiously to see if they will face a ban after the ensuing pitch invasion.  Bogle,Podge, and Nolan all awarded joint man of the match awards. In his after match commentary paul said they had been working on the tactics all week to ensure Braintree became over confident.

Play-off matches are typically tight affairs - and most posters are expecting this, as I am.

I'd say therefore it's impossible to predict - at least half of the tight matches I've watched have hinged on referees' decisions.
(And that's why my interest in football is at an all-time low.)

Ideally you'd like a charismatic manager who can motivate a team for a one-off result-defining performance in the home leg, but I think we're buggered on that front. The 12th man idea is fine for sales of sore-throat sprays and lozenges, but I'm old-fashioned enough to think it's the manager's job to get his team 'buzzing'.

Just hoping for League football however we can get it....

It seems to me whenever everyone agrees that it will be extremely tight, or extremely high scoring, it's always the opposite. Podge to help himself to a couple of hattricks this week.
