| The Run in on 12:55 - Mar 13 with 4710 views | Daley_Lama | Games changed for TV I guess both Dale and York changed at the same time possibly to avoid accusations of favouritism or one team benefiting from later kick off at the crunch end of the season. |  |

If we are still ahead of them (or 1 point behind) then I think its ok. If we are behind them and go further behind as in 4 or 5 points before we even play it will put us under a lot of pressure.

Id be very fearful unless we're 4 points ahead of York heading into that final game, |  | |  |

I think this might help. Think of all the players who are with middle teams or in fact all players up and down the league who are playing for a new contract for next season. These are people who have to impress their managers to recruit them for next season. No better way than a star performance late in the day. Against a top team even better. This might level the playing field. in other words the players may have a bigger say than the managers. |  | |  |

Hopefully those players playing against York will put in more effort to secure their future contracts than those playing against Dale. Looking to Saturday Brackley definitely need the points from the relegation battle perspective and a win for Tamworth will basically guarantee them safety. |  |

| The Run in on 10:25 - Mar 20 with 3049 views | surb_dale | In a game of fine margins i do think the scheduling of the midweek games next week is giving York a slightly unfair advantage. They go to Gateshead on Tuesday and then have Woking at home next Saturday. Woking play Southend away on Wednesday so have 1 less day recovery. We play Scunny away on Wednesday and then a long trip to Sutton. Sutton play Tuesday night so have an extra day recovery as well. Very poor scheduling in a critical stage of the season. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

It's a fair point. Don't think we stayed south after the Eastleigh fixture. The club email was headed by "The Long Trip to Southend" and that wasn't just about travelling fans. Did it make a difference? As you say, we look to have another tricky schedule next week |  |

| The Run in on 11:41 - Mar 24 with 2375 views | James1980 | Because both teams would be a very similar situation if they get pipped to the post by the other. Might be worth having a chat with Luke Williams to see how he kept NC focused after just missing out on automatic promotion. |  |

Some Gateshead fans suggesting their game could be off, with the amount of rain forecasted today. So we could potentially go 5 points clear tomorrow with a win. That would firmly put the pressure back on York |  | |  |

I'd prefer it went ahead in difficult conditions. Could be a bit of an equaliser in a game York should otherwise comfortably win. [Post edited 24 Mar 12:37]

Could be, but also a good chance of Stones slipping in the box and being awarded a 90+10 pen to seal the win |  | |  |

Have you seen Scunthorpe's pitch? Definitely not a surface for playing around at the back. A more direct approach may be needed tomorrow. |  |

Could be the sort of game more suited to Liam Hogan... Strong breeze forecast too. Let's hope our defence aren't wearing their "slippers" |  |

If that's a reference to his move to Morecambe, that's pretty much what i was getting at... |  |

Aye, but tbf, McNulty has explained that Dale couldn't guarantee him the security of the extra year he's got at Morecambe, which will be particularly important at Hogan's time of career. |  |
| Maestro? No.
Elite? No.
Heavyweight poster? No.
Able to be rational and not over-react to individual results? Yes. |

True enough, but his departure and with Beckwith still out of action, it leaves us short of cover at CB. Perry looked to be carrying a slight knock on Saturday too, whilst EEL dealing with high punts in a breeze isn't one of his strengths |  |

I think the deadline is this Thursday, so maybe someone will appear as cover. |  |

| The Run in on 17:15 - Mar 24 with 1631 views | 442Dale | Surprised we haven’t got cover in for EEL as there’s no other natural central centre back on the books. Gordon could probably play there though. After previous changes in that position, could imagine the reaction if we were to leave the captain out at this stage! |  |

BBC York reporter on Twitter posting videos of ref inspecting the pitch. Water coming up as the ball rolls in the most recent. If it starts, can’t see it finishing unless the rain stops. |  |
