Don’t need to say this is a massive game which ideally we need to win to regain some confidence.

I suspect we would have had them watched, but surprisingly, Beaconsfield upload the full 90 minutes of their matches on YouTube

Of the top seven on Saturday only Beaconsfield are at home, so expect some surprises.

Do we know what parking is like? Given their highest league attendance this season in 144 it might be a struggle with 200+ of us turning up.

We need to go there, be positive, I can't see why we can't get 3 points at Beaconsfield, I can't see why we can't, take are chances, take them, and cut the silly mistakes out at the back.

Hopefully the picture in the match preview will give you an idea - I can't remember if there was anybody marshalling the cars when we went there a couple of seasons ago. The picture and directions will also help people access the turning to the ground - some SatNavs don't recognise the turn towards the services in order to cross the dual carriageway after doing a 360 turn at the roundabout.

heck of a lot of rain in past day or so. Hope their pitch is ok, with more rain forecast for tomorrow.

Must be doubt I reckon if the forecast for more rain today and tomorrow in the Beaconsfield area is correct.

Hayden Road also hasn’t taken the weather very well with R & H’s game on Wednesday being called off and a short video by Mark Panter on twitter yesterday showed the pitch waterlogged at the Town end with the SW manhole being completely full and not draining away. Let’s hope it improves on Sunday to enable Monday's match against Bedford to go ahead.

The Beaconsfield manager, Gary Meakn, has retweeted positive news about the pitch, which bodes well. He’ll remember we were due to face his Egham side at the end of the season in 2016 that saw the Saturday game postponed and a difficult midweek trip a few days later

Hate to say it, but the forecast for Monday looks dreadful :dry:

If it is anywhere near that bad then Monday's game will almost certainly be off, the weather over the last few months has been a real drag.
