I suppose ask any TUFC fan pre season or at the end of March a choice of 3 points behind the leaders and an almost certain top 3 finish with 2 games to go and they would have bit your hand off but this is tempered somewhat by where we were at Christmas and just 2 games ago. Still, we are in with a chance with hopefully most of the pressure being on Sutton but the first job in hand is to win against Barnet which would guarantee a top two spot and maybe more. It seems a long time ago since the Boxing Day demolition of Yeovil with a full strength team that 1323 socially distanced fans were last allowed into Plainmoor so it will be an occasion to savour for those lucky enough to have a ticket and will be interesting to see how many fans that the SAG will let in. Our team has been strengthened since the start of the year with the arrival of Lewis and Boden amongst others and with Whitfield and Cameron now back there is lots of competition for places. Will Johnson start with the same formation or will the unlucky Waters who didn't get a look in last Sunday start again in a 4-4-2. I assume Barnet will try and stay compact and we will need to find a way to break them down so a second striker is definitely an option against a side with only pride and possibly new contracts to play for.

Really looking forward to getting back to Plainmoor this afternoon.
Thoroughly enjoyed those games in December and was very impressed with the organisation and the stewarding.
Been a strange season, but I am happy that the club has done everything it can to make the most of the situation.
We have to win. Nothing else will do.
A thumping win would close the goal difference gap. A narrow win would give us hope that Barnet could take points off Sutton next week.
Am very pleased that Sutton’s game has been moved to tomorrow so we can focus 100% on the action on the pitch.
Of course, the title could well be decided at Sutton tomorrow. If Sutton win it is all over - effectively if not mathematically.
Nothing we can do about that other than win our game and pile on the pressure.
Would expect the same 16.
Will Cameron and Whitfield start? I would say yes although that would be harsh on Lewis and Andrews (or possibly Little).
Hard leaving out good players but it is a good problem to have.
Come on you Yellows!

Open minded about our chances of stealing the title but looking forward to watching a live match for the first time in nearly 18 months.
Not certain how many will be in the ground, no figures have been released, but it's sure to feel a bit strange standing in an unfamiliar part of the Pop side terrace where I will be stood on my own after a ticket purchase mix up.
Nice to think we can put on a performance and score some goals and ultimately add some psychological pressure on Sutton. Will Barnet roll over? I very much doubt it and we must be respectful but if we can win the game well on merit and produce our best football it could be an interesting and entertaining afternoon..
Reckon GJ will stick to the same starting line up as of last Sunday and ease Whits and Cameron back over these final two matches and in preparation of the likely stern two match play off tests ahead.

Unchanged starting xi but no Whitfield on bench. Hope we haven't buggared him up for the playoffs by overstretching himat Stockport.

Sun shining. Talking Heads blasting out. Marvelous. Chelston almost within shouting distance.
The silly buggar has booked a holiday for the playoff final weekend. That ramps up the pressure on the boys to clinch automatic.
Come on you Yellows.
