As it stands with 10m to go in the Whitehawk game, Truro qualified for the playoffs so can rest players on Thursday. If Havant win Thursday, Saints in the drop zone. Whitehawk playing at Hemel on Saturday. Dartford need a 4 goal swing to make the playoffs, which they will do if they smash Saints and Hemel and Whitehawk draw (any other result and they can't make it, so they will come out all guns blazing. If Truro send their reserves Thursday (and why wouldn't you?), we'd better get the prayer mats out as we'll need a miracle...  |

Doesn't change much though, Truro still made it already, Whitehawk still need to beat Hemel to be sure, and Dartford given hope. Really need Truro to avoid defeat Thursday to keep Havant below the line, but I won't be betting on it. On a positive note I can't see Margate winning at Bath, and Saints would only need a draw if they lose. Flip side to that of course is that Bath already safe, but Margate been terrible until Saturday's win and Bsth home advantage should see 3pts for them. Can we withstand a Darts onslaught though, should Truro lose and give them hope? We played some really good stuff first half Saturday but nerves showed second half. Squeeky bum time!

Dartford can't make the play offs now unless they beat us 5-0 on Saturday because they'd need to overtake Hemel and Whitehawk, which they can't do because they play each other unless they draw, which would leave all 3 teams on 62 points and Dartford having to make up a GD of 5 against Hemel. If either Hemel or Whitehawk win then they can't be caught
Also because it's Hemel v Whitehawk on Saturday, Truro are in the play offs but need a point to secure 4th and not a trip to Ebbsfleet
Even though Margate have been awful do we think we can rely on both Bath and WSM (who play Havant) to give a poo poo
I think whoever is in the zone at 3pm on Saturday will go down because I think all three teams that can be relegated will probably win meaning it's all down to Havant v Truro on Thursday
Our only other saving grace may be fatigue in the Havant camp playing Thursday night and Saturday

If Truro get at least a point against Havant, they could then 'rest players' on Saturday as they play Wealdstone, which would be a game which wouldn't affect the outcome of the league.

best scenario for saturday is margate to draw at bath and for us to beat dartford, i suspect havant could beat truro tonight, but i hope not.it would be to much to expect havant to lose both games!

The reaction of a few of the players I follow on Twitter to that result is great to see, all raring to go for Saturday! Apparently Corcoran's 'buzzing' about tonight's result.  One more performance is all that's needed lads. |

From what I am reading, a crowd of 451 at Havant & Waterlooville last night. 451? For such an important game, that is really poor.
