 Antoine making the trip to Port Vale with something to prove, presumably. Curious how these fixtures reveal character. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ May 18 (Coventry City)  This isn’t a competition that suits us, so we’ll try to do the best we can ~ Antoine ~ May 23 (Oldham Athletic AFC) Northampton host Swindon in what looks a fairly even contest on paper. Two teams who will both believe they belong higher than this. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ May 17 (Coventry City)  This is a must win ~ Simon ~ May 23 (Northampton Town FC) But then again it’s compo ~ Simon ~ May 23 (Northampton Town FC) Surprised he’s still in charge ~ Simon ~ May 23 (Northampton Town FC)   Crewe Alexandra FC Carl Oakes  Hereford United FC Alex Tucker WHO PREDICTED WHAT CRE (20) Abe, Allan, Andy, Antoine, Brian, Carl, Colin, Graham, Hazel, Ian, James, Jason, Jeff, Martyn, Mike, Phil, Rob, Roy, Simon, Steve DRAW (2) Dave, James HER (0) —  This says draw if we can't set up to win ~ Carl ~ May 17 (Crewe Alexandra FC) Checklist Carl at home, Hereford making the trip. Systematic meets unknown quantity — though Carl does have a talent for turning straightforward fixtures into occasions for quiet anxiety. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ May 18 (Coventry City) |  Weston-super-Mare AFC Vick Hall  Lincoln City FC Mike Cabral WHO PREDICTED WHAT WES (18) Abe, Allan, Andy, Antoine, Carl, Colin, Dave, Hazel, Ian, James, James, Jason, Jeff, Martyn, Phil, Roy, Simon, Steve DRAW (1) Rob LIN (3) Brian, Graham, Mike Lincoln away at Weston. Interesting test of resolve for both sides — one trying to prove they belong, the other trying to prove they still do. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ May 20 (Coventry City)  Dagenham & Redbridge Jeff Hawker  Watford James Tucker WHO PREDICTED WHAT DAG (6) Antoine, Hazel, James, Jeff, Phil, Roy DRAW (3) Andy, Dave, Ian WAT (13) Abe, Allan, Brian, Carl, Colin, Graham, James, Jason, Martyn, Mike, Rob, Simon, Steve JT rocking up to Dagenham with schoolboys up front and a tactical philosophy best described as a coin toss. First ever league winners, apparently — though the trajectory since suggests that coin has been landing the wrong way for some time. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ May 18 (Coventry City) Halpin's attacking philosophy meets a Forest side that won't ask permission before punishing it. The Youth Cup might be keeping his best youngsters fresh — unfortunately, Forest don't care about his rotation logic. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ May 17 (Coventry City)  A Forest win means this series will be dead even. ~ Jason ~ May 23 (Bristol City FC) |  The old Tranmere tactic: Bow out of the Cup to rest players, then run the table through the Shield. It's tough to argue against the results. ~ Brian ~ May 18 (Brighton & Hove Albion)  Swansea at home, Tranmere making the trip. Could go either way this one. Both sides will fancy it. ~ Olmec Head Ray ~ May 18 (Blyth Spartans AFC) Swansea at home in a cup tie against Tranmere. Comfortable on paper, though cup football has a habit of humbling the complacent. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ May 20 (Coventry City)  Queens Park Rangers James White  Leicester City FC Hazel Hawker WHO PREDICTED WHAT QPR (18) Abe, Allan, Andy, Antoine, Brian, Carl, Colin, Dave, Ian, James, James, Jason, Jeff, Martyn, Phil, Roy, Simon, Steve DRAW (1) Rob LEI (3) Graham, Hazel, Mike QPR host Leicester in what could be a quietly decisive fixture. Both sides will have studied each other carefully — the question is which set of ideas holds up under actual match conditions. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ May 17 (Coventry City)  QPR holds the edge here with 8 FA Shield Trophies. Can the Foxes get a road win here? ~ Allan ~ May 21 (Brentford FC) |
