Who would we rather face?

It does not matter who we play, we have to beat two teams to gain promotion. Bring it on !!

COYY

Dorking were not the best team that has come to plainmoor by any standard, they have several first team starters who are injured, borehamwood are a different kettle of fish, big and tough across the team and they gave us the run around down here. so I would preer dorking.

-Personally don't care, all the teams in the top 7 are very good strong teams, all capable of winning the play-offs, securing 2nd spot was vital, we have home advantage in both semi and the final itself should the team get through, so far this season we've seen wins at home v Truro, Worthing, Dorking, Eastbourne and drawn with Boreham Wood and Maidstone suffering no defeats at home to any top 7 side.

The only side I don't want us face is Maidstone, these have a nasty habit of getting one over on us.

Right now we see our team in good form and confidence, which doesn't always mean anything in the play-offs of course, but all we can do is get behind the team and hope for 2 more performances, but if we fall short so be it no tears from me, the whole club has come a very long way in a very short space of time, can and will only get stronger from here.

Agree but we can only play them if they win at Worthing then Eastbourne.

I'd ever so slightly prefer Dorking than Boreham Wood, but whoever it is, I think if we get past next Saturday we should have nothing to fear from Eastbourne, Worthing or Maidstone, as I think the semi could be the tougher match (can see it going the distance).

Does anyone know if there will be a stream? National League post said all games televised but how can ours be, on a Saturday at 3pm? Perhaps it will be international viewers only?

Yes, all play offs games are being shown.

Apparently the 3pm blackout only applies when more than 50% of top two divisions are playing, or something similar. There are no Championship games at 3pm and only 2 in the premership, so like an international break, means they can be shown.

Think I would prefer Dorking. Boreham Wood were the best team I've seen at Plainmoor this season. Were all over us for most of the game but somehow we managed to get a 2-0 lead before ending 2-2. Remember Dorking playing very good open attacking football but maybe we could get more chances against them but whoever it is going to be very tough and tense.
