Bank Holiday Weekend Games

[Anonymous]

We are currently 4/1 (!) for a win at Bromley.

We are slight ‘favourites’ at 14/10 to edge out Halifax who are 17/10.

Two difficult games!

Bromley have won one and drawn one at home, scoring just the one goal and with the resulting plus one goal difference.

The goal and the win came in the 72nd minute after Torquay were reduced to ten men in the 63rd minute.

Watching the highlights, Bromley could have been 7-1 or 7-2 up before the sending off.

It looks like they press high and flood forward.
Nine in and around the box for corners & free kicks.

Halifax have two defeats on their travels.
A 1-0 loss at second placed Wealdstone.
A 2-0 loss at top of the table Barnet. In that game, Halifax were reduced to ten men in the 65th minute. Barnet put the game to bed when they notched their second in the 82nd minute.

It could well turn out to be a Blank Holiday Weekend?

Saw Bromley once last year. Good side. Can’t see any points from that. Expecting 3 v Halifax though.

[MK Iron]

Sounds like 2 teams struggling a bit for goals.

Our defence is usually helpful enabling teams overcome their goal shyness. Plastic pitch as well at Bromley so probably won’t be tempted by the fairly generous odds.

Getting my Halifax ticket today and will be watching Monday with everything crossed. ⚽👍

[Deereyme66]

Take a cross

[MK Iron]

Don’t let Halifax have a cross. Usually leads to a goal.

[Iron-awe]

Well they won’t need any eXtra help.

Will Keef be cross after the game? Is he ever cross?

I heard he once sat down on a red hot sun lounger in Cyprus and ended up with hot cross buns.

Our problem is when we concede we usually concede again soon after, and nine times out of ten if a team score against us when we are winning we don’t score another.

Our defence is a given of goals against so any team licks there lips thinking that Hill’s defence is sieve like.

Parting of the Red Sea

Do they actually doing any defensive training?
Obviously goes in one ear and out the other.

Forget football coaching, they are most likely fed up with the same old, same old.
Let’s face it, some of these guys will have being doing this 25 years.
Bored.
Take them boxing, swimming, kayaking, karate, taekwondo, weight training, tennis, rugby… anything other than football.

[RoamingBull]

Looks like they play snap, dominoes etc.
If I remember rightfully the Cods were playing Darts under Holloway.

[SD0101]

Tell them they are booked in for parachute jump at hibaldstow on Tuesday unless they win. Six points for bank holiday

[RoamingBull]

The Iron have definitely been in free fall for years.
Just wondering when the floor will come

They appear to be suffering from Hillykeithitis, a rare condition causing memory loss at weekends and erasing from memory everything done during the week.

Is there a cure?

[cassidystash]

Adkinsetamol but very expensive and hard to come by.

If I was a Halifax fan, or player, it manager I would be delighted to be playing Scunthorpe on Monday.

Bank Holiday games often throw up some high scoring games.
SUFC 4-5 Halifax

[bartonscorpion]

What do you base that on Renee, Halifax have only scored ONE goal in eight hours this season, I would think that a score of
Scunny 2 Halifax 0 will be more like it mate.

Have they come up against a defence containing Taft or a RB having to play CB ?. Then you can throw O’Malley into the mix who can’t defend to save his life.

Halifax scoring 5 isn’t that big of a exaggeration.

I’d more than happily take a 1-0 win. I’d be ecstatic with 2-0.

However, BH games always throw up weird high scoring results.

It could end up 4-2 to us or 3-5 to them.
Where we are at the moment, our ‘form’ and our luck – it’ll probably go against us.

There’s no confidence, creativity or (positive) culture at the Club.

If we were to win the lottery – we’d lose the winning ticket.

To Win from behind:

Halifax 12/1
Scunthorpe 14/1
