Get Turley back in and play a solid 5. Come on JE, you know it makes sense.

No No No.
We must go out and attack from the start and look to sew this game up.
We are in a great position and should grab this opportunity with both hands.
Play like the Champions we are.

Agreed. If Salford win by 5 or more then it would make last day nervy. 1-0 win would be fine.

I'd take the draw. Salford might only get a draw with Fylde anyway but if they do win, we can sort out the GD against Braintree.

Do you really want this to go to the last game possibly needing a win?

Braintree have now won three out of the last four. Just saying.

Yes, but you must be on an positive footing or you'll come unstuck. I also believe that Salford won't beat Flyde.

Yes, I'd take the draw now if I could.
I'm confident that we'll beat Braintree, so a draw would do just fine. I know that Braintree's recent results have been good but, I feel sure that if we had to play them in a one-off-championship-decider, we'd win. Although Braintree have nothing to lose, we have a great deal to gain. Of course, if Salford drop a clanger - and they might - the equation would change.

Yep I’d take the draw too. Biggest danger to us not going up is losing on Monday. Not impossible for Salford to end up above us on goal difference, but the odds are against, and we’ll know where we stand before Braintree visit if we come away from Solihull with a point.

From a Solihull viewpoint they ideally need to beat us by 4+ goals, so the onus is on them to attack, which should give us opportunities on the break. We must attack when we can but there is no need to be suicidal about it. Our record against the top seven away is good, so if we can get it right again, we’ll come away with at least a point.

It can be done.

Not for 1 minute think Braintree will be a pushover.

Yep, take a draw all Easter weekend long.

When Salford beat Fylde they are unlikely to overhaul our goal difference and I'd fancy us to outscore them in the last game with us at home to Braintree and them away at Hartlepool.

I'd take a draw. Would obviously prefer a win but I'd back us on the final day, whether Braintree are playing with the shackles off now or not.

I think a draw would do it, can't see Salford winning 5-0 which would put them on top on GD.
Do think it will be a very nervous game.

It is not a must-win, but for sure it is a must not lose.

Would think Braintree would be relaxed and would probably want to prove something against us "Bertie Big Bollocks".

Can only hope that Salford get a draw at home. :shock:
