home win. i can see a 4 or 5 goal winning margain too.

dont ask why. its not because we won yesterday, i just have this funny feeling.

 

They did beat FGR 1-0 and drew with Aldershot yesterday so they will have a bit about them but I still think we can win this one comfortably I can's see us banging loads but maybe a 2-0 win that will do me. Sinclair and Harrison to score again

how did they manage to play both fgr and aldershot yesterday?

 

Smart ass

 

The Nuns looked terrible vs Braintree but their form has improved. We'll win by a decent margin, but they'll definitely give us a game.

 

how did you know i have a smart ass?

 

I just know these things its in the way you post

 

how can you tell i have a smart ass by how i post? dont say i talk out my ass

 

Can't see anything but a home win.

Amazing the difference a couple of games can make - table certainly looks better now!

In May 2007, the curtain came down on Manor Park as they drew the last game 1–1 against Vauxhall Motors, Gez Murphy taking the honour of being the last Nuneaton Borough scorer at the ground with a penalty. In the 2007–08 season, owner Ted Stocker planned to sell his shares as he was suffering from ill health and in March 2008 local businessman Ian Neale planned to take ownership of the club for a trial period but he took 100% ownership of the club in April. In May 2008, Ian Neale found some irregularities in the finances of the club and fears raised that the club would have to be forced into administration. On 2 June 2008 Nuneaton Borough went into liquidation.

 

I think this will be a tight game. They will put a lot of bodies behind the ball and they'll be organised. Hopefully we'll have the guile to break them down. They took a thumping at Torquay so I hope Lee Mansell gets on the blower to his mates down there for a bit of advice.

1-0 Gas, Harrison.

 

if DC uses my tactics and starting 11 then we will win

 

This one will depend on how DC will approach it.

Do we go for the kill and go all out attack on what is considered one of the weaker teams?

or

Do we give them to much respect and hold out for a close 1nil game?

 

If we're to progress this season we've got to start putting away
the 'typical' Conference sides (Braintree, Altrincham....)
If we get a decent score tonight then I'll believe things are
looking up.

 

I'm in the East Midlands, (ironically not that far from Nuneaton), so will be relying on t'internet to keep me updated.

Rovers 2-1 Nun
