A draw, 3 reds and 5 broken legs apiece please Lord.
Have you been watching reruns of 'The Big Match'?

Aldershot and Solihull to win, Chesterfield and Boreham Wood to draw would make the table look absolutely amazing.

I am not bothered what other teams do as long as we continue as we have started they can not catch us

2nd v 3rd I suppose a draw is the best result for us but win for boreham could open a gap between us and Chesterfield but keeps boreham on our tails and a win for Chesterfield gives us a chance of going 4 clear What everyone thinking ?
*4th v 2nd Halifax Town are 3rd. I think a Boreham Wood victory would best despite them being 2nd. Chesterfield are the real threat. They are the only one (apart from us) of the so called big clubs in this division who are doing well. Although a 0-0 draw at Dover & throwing away a 2-0 lead at home to Torquay aren't great results. Also, does anyone who why the town is called "Borehamwood" but the club is "Boreham Wood"?

Three of the last four sides promoted out of this division have been Barrow, Harrogate and Sutton United (albeit two of those did so with plastic pitches). I’m not sure it’s right or fair to exclude Boreham Wood from the list of contenders on the basis they are not one of bigger ex-league clubs. As for their name, I’ve wondered that myself. From a quick Google, it seems the town has a somewhat confused history as to what its name actually is: https://www.borehamwoodtimes.c.....-became-borehamwood/

Looking at the fixtures on Saturday we have a huge chance to set up a bit of a gap at the top, vital we capitalise on that this weekend

We absolutely do. Copied the below from something I posted previously in another thread, but there is a very distinct line in the sand bang in the middle of our next 10 games. — Speaking of which, the next 10 in the league look really interesting - two very distinctive groups of 5 games. The first 5, on paper and on current form, look quite favourable. Certainly as it stands I’d expect us to go into each of these as comfortable favourites, with only County in the top half and currently not in great form. Yeovil (h) - 15th Wealdstone (a) - 16th Notts County (h) - 9th Aldershot (a) - 22nd Southend (h) - 20th Average position - 16.4. If we’re serious, we want to be taking a minimum 11 points from that run of games. And we need to, considering what the following 5 look like. Solihull (a) - 7th Boreham Wood (h) - 2nd Dagenham (a) - 6th Chesterfield (h) - 4th Halifax (a) - 3rd Average position - 4.4. That’s as difficult a run of games as we’re likely to face all season. Given that, I think the preceding 5 are going to be really important in giving us some room to breathe and to take the pressure off a bit. That takes us all the way up to Boxing Day, by which our prospects this season should look a whole lot clearer. Interesting, and exciting, few weeks ahead.

Anything other than a Chesterfield win. My gut feeling is that Chesterfield are a real danger the season as they have such firepower. They went away at Southend, the ease of their cup win shows the score goals for fun I think I was in Chesterfield will be one and two but I’m not sure about the order. Notts County and Wrexham will inevitably come good but they have done some damage already utm
