Weymouth away.

A trip down south to a team currently in 17th place. We need a win to stay in touch with a playoff place, already there has developed a sizeable gap between us and the top of the playoffs places.
Will yet again depend on who is fit , Donaldson serves the last game of his suspension, but of the injuries I don’t know who will be available. Not having Seymour and Bloomfield has seen our goals scored dry up.

We have lost four of the last six league games and just one win placing us 19th in the form table. Weymouth are 5th. Points much needed tonight.

Agree about this evening, more dropped points and then two home games where in both points could be dropped. If recent form continues over these three games then playoffs might start to look a remote possibility.

The final play off place last season was 74 points. If that was to be replicated we will need 24 points from the remaining 15 games, 1.6 points per game. We are currently averaging 1.61 per game but only 0.66 in our last 6 games so need to get off that trend quickly.

Good stats Tony.

Only a few games at our level are available now. I assume it was cost prohibitive.

Looks like we have signed a midfielder/winger on loan from Derby. Alex Gibson-Hammond

On loan at Buxton earlier in the season but only a couple of starts by the looks of it.

Two goals and two assists in the Premier League 2 for Derby U21s this season, just the two starts for Buxton in just over a month.

Hope he’s better than the last Derby loan player. We really need an extra forward though. Not sure some of these signings are really improving the side hugely.

We seem to be getting young players from league clubs. Think many of us would like more experienced players, but it might be that at this time of the season these are the only loans that we can make.
Statistically the league clubs take on and release lots of youngsters, some of which find themselves at our level and thrive, hopefully one of these might do so for us.
After these next few games the likely end of this season might emerge and Mel might be contemplating who he needs to retain for 24/25. Last summer apart from the obvious striker requirements the majority of the squad Mel inherited were retained for the current season, one would expect more turnover this year especially if we go to full time.

New"Match Centre" features on the website for tonight:
https://hamrichfc.com/blogs/news/match- ... tch-update

Overall looks like a good innovation to me.

Although, as has been mentioned previously here, the font for the main text on the website is far from ideal. It looks like it's a font that is designed for headlines rather than body text. I think I am one of many who find the dense text uncomfortable to read. Perhaps the club could consult with the branding guidelines company and see if we can get a tweak approved...?
