Posted: 14 Apr 2024, 17:35
United make the short journey to Taunton on Tuesday for a genuine 6 pointer and there is no doubt that in a wretched season for United this is the most important game for both teams.
Since March 2 Taunton have played 13 games of which 8 were Away Fixtures. They won 3 Drew 2 and Lost 8. Goals for 11 Against 22.
In contrast we played 9 games and are Full Time. In theory Taunton should be knackered and they defended for their lives on Saturday so we should have an advantage but it is wishful thinking as we are so low in confidence and Taunton won 3-0 at Plainmoor on March 12th.
One bit of hope. Taunton have lost all 5 of their home games in March and April to date conceding 12 goals and scoring just 3.
I hope Aaron Downes has studied the Video Tapes for these 5 games because it suggests Taunton are better away than at Home possibly because their pitch is bad but the away sides have overcome the surface. It is at least grass!
So to predictions. I have not got a clue. Our away form is pants but Tauntons Home Form is pants. Only god knows but we need a hero on Tuesday and in our current squad I can only think of Asa Hall and AJB who might pull off a bit of magic when we need it most. -1 is my guess.
