| March Headlines |
City face a massive game at Shrewsbury tomorrow night. Brighton are 2 points ahead of
us and play at home to Barnet on Wednesday. Its important for City to keep the pressure on
them and go back above them tomorrow even if it is only for one day. We do not want
Brighton to pull too far ahead. More importantly though is the chasing pack. Hartlepool
have played one game more than us and do not play this midweek so tomorrow is out game in
hand being played. We must win to create an 8 point cushion over Hartlepool. Blackpool in
5th are 7 points behind us in 5th and they have played the same amount of games. hey do
not play this mid week. A City win would put us 10 clear and put the pressure back on them
to play catch up. Orient in 6th are currently 10 points behind us with a game in hand,
they play at Carlisle tomorrow and if we win and they lose then a 13 point gap with only
one game in hand will surely be too big for them to close. Rochdale are in 7th place, 14 points behind, they have two games in hand so cannot be ruled out, they are not playing this mid week either so we do not want them to have three games in hand that could reduce the gap to 5 points. While defeat would not change our position or allow the chasing teams to over take us it would mean they could step closer and exert more pressure. C'mon City. |
