 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)                   DRAW (2)   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) DRAW (1) LIN (3) 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) DRAW (3) WAT (13) 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) DRAW (1) LEI (3) 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) |
