Yeah I'd be the same, I don't want to be the team playing catch up when other teams have the points already.

Don't know why apart from my gut but If most of our competitors are postponed I'd rather we were as well, always think psychologically those who play following anothers confirmed result gain an edge.
Don't know If that stacks up statistically just my take.

Think that'll depend on the result - if we have lost, we'll definitely wish it had been called off. I don't think a draw would be that awful in the big picture, but obviously want the win. Should get plenty of coverage on the highlights on TV, so definitely want a positive result!

The pitch should be fine, well as fine as it has been recently. The bigger issue will be safety around the ground but unless it gets a lot worse ACL should be on top of that.

Matches have been postponed in the past over concerns for travelling fans. That could be an issue.

There's 3 off now. Barnet, Exeter and Newport.

Exeter are going to have a backlog by the looks of it if other games do go ahead.

Also keen for it to go ahead, postponements will only mean more games squeezed in and less rest towards end of season when we may have to start thinking about playoffs as well!

I agree with you here. Id rather it was postponed if everyone elses is. I think its unfair advantage.

Its a bit like why at end pf the season everyone has to play same time/day.

Need to win tomorrow now that that Swindon game is off. Put the pressure on them and put things back in our own hands.

Swindon game's off, thought I'd let you all know before anybody else gets in. It would mean we could get in the playoffs with a win.

Kind of agree. Might well have been better for them to play with no manager.

Players must be a little deflated to have their manager quit in them with them nestled nicely in the play off slots.

Colchester's and Mansfield's games now also off.

This keeps going and Channel 5 are going to be pretty much showing our whole match tomorrow night instead of just highlights.

For me, this is another can’t lose game. Ideally, we need a win, but a draw would also be a decent result.

A lot of people seem to debating about midfield, but I keep Kelly and Doyle in the middles. We seem to be impenetrable when they both play in the middle. So Bayliss goes on the wing since there’s no stand out right winger at the minute. Shipley probably edged Reid but I’d like to see Reid given more game time - we need a natural winger.

Unsurprinsgly, my rugby game has been cancelled so I’m going to get myself up to the game!

Agree the unexpected win at Wycombe at Wycombe has given us some leeway (This is a must not lose game).

A draw wouldn't be a bad result at all keeps them below us! and a point further from all the teams below. they havnt lost 3 in a row under Cowley! So it will be a very tough game indeed.

A draw in this game however would put huge pressure on us to get a win vs Barnet. In short keep winning and keep on picking up points will keep us on track for minimum play offs.
Talk about stating the bleeding obvious but hey!
