Team for Eastleigh

It wouldn't surprise me to see us finish 7th. We will have many changes and could easily lose by 2 goals.

Chesterfield need just a point but will go out all guns blazing and could easily win by 3 goals. On the Chesterfield forum they are saying similar and are also suggesting that we would prefer a 7th place finish as they would. They even suggested that they should play for a point to secure 7th, although acknowledged that this is very risky.

It wouldn't bother me if we finished 7th, Hurst doesn't seem to mind what place we finish, other than a home draw which is now impossible. Solihull, if they get 4th, would be difficult as they played us off the pitch a few weeks ago but then we will avoid Wrexham or Stockport for a place in the final.

Then we should consider the attendance. Halifax and Solihull, even with an increase in numbers for a play off game is going to be less daunting than between 10k and 15k home fans at Notts County and similarly at Wrexham or Stockport.

I couldn't give a toss if we finish 6th or 7th Don't see any big advantage in 7th.

A home draw isn't impossible. It's unlikely but it's not impossible. We need to win, Notts County need to lose and there's the small matter of overcoming a GD deficit of 6.

Field a fairly strong team, go for the win and no stupid mistakes before the play-offs. Whatever else happens, happens.

Hopefully Chesterfield do enough to finish 7th as Dag & Red probably pose more of a threat than them.

It’s a 7 goal GD swing in effect due to Notts’ vastly superior goals for record. It’s not gonna happen.

Northampton thought that last week. I accept it's very, very unlikely but it's not impossible. I do think it's important to try win the game and not make any stupid errors.

With respect, we’re not playing Scunny on Sunday.
