Murderous March?

[Rene Artois]

A game on average every 4 days – which extends to 9 games over 35 days when including the last two fixtures of February.

Both Tuesday evening fixtures are away – late home and to bed (recovery).

Boys will be knackered!

1 Mar Buxton
8 Mar Leamington
11 Mar Tuesday Alfreton
15 Mar Farsley
18 Mar Tuesday Kidderminster
22 Mar Chester
29 Mar Southport

Minds & bodies will be under pressure & stress and the physio is going to be earning his corn.

February is going well. Let’s hope we extend that in to March.

The players are going to need to refuel & rest aplenty – perhaps have a couple of weeks where they get Wednesday & Thursday off (the 2 tues away game weeks)?

We (Hercules) only play one game a week on either a Sat or Sun – I’ve noted that we get fewer injuries

Absolutely 64, many/most of the opposition players will be putting in 30+ hours Monday to Friday doing a proper job. Schedule should work in our favour.

Aye, they’re not pensioners like us Rene!

Also some clubs have 2/3 games in hand on us to make up.

Not a great start to the month.

[Rene Artois]

2 wins and a draw so far – 20 days and FIVE games remaining of the month!
Sunbeds, saunas, swimming & massages are the order of the month. Hydration, nutrition, sleep, relaxation… and have some fun – we’re top of the league!
Take it easy guys!

Yes I’m sure the players and management have no idea what to do to keep the squad firing on all cylinders for the rest of this busy month, thanks for offering valuable tips on how it’s done Rene.

Rene would have the whole squad on a Saudi mini break I reckon:)

[cassidystash]

Or watching Hercules to see how they could improve themselves.

[Iron-awe]

Yes isnt it strange how we cant use icons anymore on posts because the whole post then cant be posted, SST has never explained that one.

We survived.
Pity we didn’t get the draw v Kiddy.

[Northumbiron]

That Kiddy result could be a murderer come the end of agonising April!

[Deereyme66]

‘Murderer’?

[lesgeo]

Sad if a fluke goal scuppers us.

indeed it would be a cruel fluke –
i’m still worried we will lose out on GD. Listening post Southport AB and Clunan don’t seem too concerned. I assume we are hoping Buxton will take points of Kiddy and we beat Radcliffe. Dangerous.
Curzon and Spenny tricky home games for both and they wont beat our result. I’d be so much more relaxed with a better GD.

[Iron-awe]

Always best to think about these things logically, if you were Phil Brown would you rather be two points better off than your nearest title challenging rival or two goals difference better and two points behind! Come on it’s a no brainer surely?

Nah, a 9 hour flight would be exhausting.
I’d pick a 3 hour flight to Faro.

[iron64]

Phil B may think his team will win the next 5 and expect us to bottle it. While we are the best team we too reliant on the ability of a couple to win. Lets hope they stay fit

[Iron-awe]

Maybe Phil Brown is relying on a couple of players to stay fit, he will feel the pressure just the same as our management will and both sets of players. They won’t disclose it publicly but the greater pressure will be on the team trailing not the team leading, it’s the law of averages it’s how this stuff works.
