The Drama of the next 49 Days in the NLS

I know no one seems to be able to hold on to top place but Worthing & Truro have their difficult games on Monday so I think whoever is top on Monday evening will win the league.

I think that's a very fair shout.

Possible exceptions for Worthing and Eastbourne though if the play-off and relegation issues for Weston and Enfield respectively haven't been resolved on Monday too.

It'd be a pretty unique set of results on Monday for 'Boro to be top, but not entirely impossible (Worthing v Dorking draw, Truro and yourselves to not win). But having seen 'Boro at home just yesterday I'd fancy Weston to get at least a draw there if they haven't lost out on 7th place already.

As for us, the challenge Enfield pose on the last day entirely depends on Monday too. Secure safety and for them it's one last chilled run out before they hit the beach. Still need something though and their very good form of late won't be easy to beat at all.

We'll certainly have a very good idea who the Champions are likely to be in less than 42 hours time. But even then, it'd be entirely in keeping with this fascinatingly random at times season if things, even then, go Pete Tong for someone.

It's less about form now than big game experience and nouse. It's so tight that defeats now are almost fatal, these last three games are pretty much a play-off competition... QF Friday, SF Monday, Final Saturday.

Two wins guarantee us at least a home semi final and maybe home final but is that an advantage ? You would think so with a big crowd behind us but our away form seems better lately, maybe more tense and pressure on us at home.
Didn't do last seasons home semi finalists much good,
The 5th and 6th teams got promoted Braintree and Boston
Despite that I'd rather be at home and have one less game !

Can't help but think of the capitulation at Chelmsford at the end of February. I know all the teams at the top probably had a similar experience, but those two late goals cost us dearly. A draw would at least have made us top now. That's against a team who were destined for mid table even back in February.

I suppose my point here is that slip ups happen, and could well happen next weekend........ it ain't over till it's over....

It would be just like us to hammer Weymouth then go to Hemel and lose on the final day but having never predicted a loss for us before the last few games (reverse psychology) I'm going to continue doing so in hope that it works. To come out Champions now would just seal a magical transformation at the club. Fingers crossed!!

You could say the same for Chesham, however that’s football and we’ve won a lot of games late too.
