	Nikara looking to build momentum after big win
	The mood at Sinegard Stadium is buoyant as the club prepare for
	their week 19 fixture against Thames Ironworks as the battle for
	mid table mediocrity continues. After the second win of the new
	regimes tenure last weekend the club is hoping to use this as a
	springboard and finish the season with some optimism.
	The hurdle in the way is Thames Ironworks who came from 2 goals
	behind last weekend to get a 2-2 draw with the highly fancied
	Hellsinki Hellhounds. Although confidence is low at the
	Hellhounds, the result was still a fine show of resilience from
	the Ironworks who looked for a while like they might be on the
	end of a hiding!
	Who are the game changers
	Thames Ironworks are not a deep squad with a few standout
	players and then a load of 12 rated filler players which is
	quite unusual across the league. Top defender Dani Octavio
	offers a sturdy spine and will be looking to marshal the
	backline to keep things clean in front of 16 rated goalkeeper
	Huolier.
	In midfield another Danny, Danni offers traditional brazilian
	flair alongside Paul Ince and Joe Cole. These three all have the
	ability to change a game with a moment of magic with Danni and
	Cole having 3 assists each for the season.
	Up front there is more depth with the line led by top scorer
	David Newman. He is partnered by Freddie Woodgate and both offer
	good shooting with top end forward passing. There ability to
	interchange between 9 and 10 make for a difficult task for
	opposing defenders
	What does the league table tell us
	The Ironworks team sit in 9th, 4 points behind#8 United 1908 and
	level on points with #10 Sky Blues. Nikara sit in 7th with no
	real hope of catching anyone but also probably safe of being
	dragged too far down the league table. On paper you'd expect
	Nikara to be confident to come out of this one with some points
	but the Boleyn Ground is a loud, characterful home ground that
	maximises the noise coming from its 35,000 attendance.
	Either way it'll be an interesting game and, with no cup fun to
	look forward, should involve two teams fit and raring to go

	[move][glow=red,2,300]Helsinki Hellhounds vs Cockney
	Cockrells[/glow][/move]
	Overview
	It's the alliteration derby as the Hellhounds (4th place) face
	the Cockrells (3rd place). Both clubs know that this game could
	go a long way to deciding the fate the of final automatic
	promotion place. Having both had disappointing results last
	week, they'll be desperate to get things back on track as the
	run in builds momentum and the number of games reduces quickly.
	Helsinki know that a home win will put them above Cockney by
	virtue of the better goals difference.
	What are the book makers saying?
	Helsinki win - 45%
	Draw - 33%
	Cockney win - 22%
	Helsinki, by virtue of playing at home are the favourites but
	there isn't a great deal between any of the possible results.
	Team news
	Both sides are missing on key man in midfield. For Helsinki it
	is their star midfielder Shephard who is missing through
	suspension after picking up his third booking of the season. For
	Cockney it is Maddison - for the exact same reason as Shephard.
	Form guide
	Helsinki Hellhounds WWLDLD (league form)
	Four without a win now, things are looking more bleak by the
	week. Helsinki were grateful not to lose ground on Cockney last
	week but know they cannot afford a defeat.
	Cockney Cockrells DWLWLD (league form)
	Cockrells have managed a bit of everything over the past six
	games and actually have an identical record to Helsinki with 8
	points from the 6 games.
	Players to watch
	Bismark the German ruler has been imperious up front for
	Cockney. Hikkara will need to have a good game and keep Cockney
	out given the poor run of form by Helsinki's forwards
	Manager's mouthful
	"We cannot afford to lose this one. Win it and our destiny is in
	our own hands. Lose it and there is every chance that we'll face
	the play offs. That isn't our focus though. Reece Evans and
	Honest will start again having had a bit of a rest last time
	out. Patrobe will continue in midfield and we'll switch
	Harrisjones to playing further up the field. Fingers crossed it
	all does the trick!"

	WE HAVE DROPPED down to 3rd after a poor run standard now we
	have to play the 5th place team and we could actually drop down
	to 5th ourselves if we lose which we cant afford to do if i want
	to stand a chance of winning the league we have to win simple as
	that

	Sky Blues - Kingfisher Dolphins
	First game for the new Fisher manager, no hopes, no goals, no
	expectations have been set out by the new manager for the club
	so far. With only a few games left of the season the fisher side
	have basically been said to go out and play for their positions
	next season as changed will no doubt be made.
	With this in mind boys have been said to be working their
	hardest this week to impress on the training field to even get
	into the starting line up this weekend. Fisher against a Sky
	Blue side away shouldn't be to difficult on paper but there will
	be a lot of nerves surrounding the players as the uncertainty of
	a new manager will no doubt taint the performances they produce.
	Young Diog in the middle of the park for fisher will likely be
	the sides stand out player but can he live up to the name that
	has been put on him by many at the club. His performances over
	the next couple of games and especially todays game in front of
	the new manager for the first time could set the tone of whether
	or not he stays at the club of leaves.
	The Sky Blues do have a quality side and some might wonder why
	they are in the position they are in, the fisher manager is said
	to be wary of the home sides midfield as it boast a fair bit of
	secondary power compared which could prove enough to tip things
	in the blues favour. However with all this in mind, predictions
	for this game are a draw as the unsettled fisher players are
	likely to change their playing habits in match day 19 which will
	more than likely see a few mistakes made and careless ones at
	that. 1-1 the predicted score line with the stronger chance of
	three points going to the home side.

	Manchester United vs Sarnians
	A fully fit and available squad for the trip to United, but we
	continue to press forward with the plan of getting the teenagers
	in our squad as much game time as possible. Sanders, Tuipers,
	Sol, Staggs, Esteboso and Karrar all start in a starting line up
	with an average age of just 20!
	But it isn�t just a run out, we are going to press and pass as
	we always do and give United an idea of what they face in the
	cup final that is yet to come.

	With only 4 weeks left of the season, title contenders Golden
	Eagles FC travel to the West Midlands to face AFC Coventry.
	Eagles have league form on their side, having won 4 and drawn 2
	in their last 6. And team will no doubt be buoyed by Dave
	Rosewell winning manager of the month for January. While
	play-off chasers Coventry have home advantage on their side,
	having won 3 of the last 6 games all at home, including a 3-0
	victory over current leaders Robbaillie Escocia.
	Earlier in the season, these 2 teams played out a 0-0 draw in
	Tampere, Coventry frustrating the home side with a mighty
	defensive display. Eagles know what to expect however and they
	will no doubt push their opponents to the limit. Neither side
	have any absences, Eagles have Domenic Torcaso, Kai Matsumoto
	and Rodrigo Des�bato all returning from suspensions and they are
	all expected to start. A couple of their players are still close
	to suspensions, including Alessio Kovacic who has been named on
	the bench, Angelo Nazari will take his place, with Min So Jouy
	slotting back into his usual position. Taavi Ruusum�ki and Danik
	Marashko also both drop to the bench.
	All eyes will be on Eagles forward pairing, Pavel Chernyshev and
	Jans Goisthalt, they have 38 goals between them and they will
	need to be on top form today if the visitors are to have any
	chance of breaking down Coventry's stubborn defence. Coventry
	Defender Ricky Wright and midfielder Rhine Hessler will be key
	figures for the home side, they have arguably been their best
	players so far this season.
	"We are down to the final 4 games, 2 away and 2 at home. I would
	say this will be our toughests away game of the 2, Coventry have
	excellent home form and an experienced manager. They need a good
	result just as much as we do, we gotta be at our best today. We
	are at full strength and everyone is fully fit, we will play to
	win of course, but we know that even coming away with a point
	will be a good result"
	Eagles sit a tantalising 2 points away from top spot, as
	Robbaillie Escocia travel to United 1908 who have turned a
	corner recently. Meanwhile 4th placed Helsinki Hellhounds and
	3rd placed Cockney Cockrells face off, it is a must win for
	Hellhounds who find themselves 3 points off an automatic
	promotion spot after a poor string of results. Any slip ups here
	and Kingfisher Dolphins who are level on points with them and
	are under new management will be ready to pounce.

	With the chance of a play-off spot pretty much now out of reach,
	United 1908 go into their tasty home game against Robbaillie
	Escocia still hungry, as they seek to finish best of the rest in
	6th. The players will also be looking to prove themselves
	against the table toppers and in front of the board members, as
	attention begins to shift to next season's preparations.
	United have a full team available, newest signing Lewys Gallahad
	is expected to make debut from off the bench, having been signed
	too late last week to make the 2-2 draw against Cockney
	Cockrells. Fellow new signing Ady Tupperman will get his 2nd
	start in a row. While Robbaillie also have a full team
	available.
	"This game could go either way, we have been on a good roll as
	of late with 2 wins and 2 draws. This will be good test of the
	lads' mettle against 1 of the top teams in the division."
	As caretaker manger mentioned, United have won 2 and drawn 2
	while scoring 8 and only conceding twice. Robbaillie have won 3
	and lost once. United are 5 points behind 5th place AFC Coventry
	who host Golden Eagles FC and 4 behind Nikara Dragons who are
	away to Thames Ironworks.
