Well 1 game to go and only Worthing and Hornchurch guaranteed a place. We need one of top 2 to do us a favour next week to guarantee us a place. Alternatively a draw at Weston would do, but that looks unlike with our terrible form. Only Maidenhead or Maidstone can deny us a place in the playoffs. If we can finish in top 5 and get a home eliminator, I think that's probably best we can do considering our form.

That would have taken a lot out of Weston ahead of that Hornchurch game this weekend. I would love for Weston to get through so that we have a home tie but feels like it will almost certainly be Hornchurch away now.
I actually think Weston stand a good chance against Hornchurch, they are a handy side. In some ways, having a de-facto quarter final can be beneficial (as fans of the MLB/NFL will know) as if you win, you have confidence and momentum going into the next round which the team with the ‘bye’ do not. Although, with all the bigger sides in this division, Hornchurch v Weston isn’t exactly a glamour tie for a SF!!
@mattywanderer Boreham Wood last season, despite beating us I thought they would lose at Torquay yet they went the whole way and are now in the NL Playoffs looking to go into the football league
