	Nikara go for three in Hellhounds clash
	After last weeks 4-2 victory away at Thames Ironworks the Nikara
	Dragons are returning back to Sinegard Stadium to face off
	against the high flying Helsinki Hellhounds. The game is part of
	a back to back acid test of whether the Dragons are actually any
	good or not as they play Hellsinki and the Cockney Cockrells. If
	the Dragons can defeat the Hellhounds it will mean 3 wins on the
	bounce and the chance to finish the season with a bang. Defeat
	sends them back to square one.
	What lies ahead
	Unfortunately for the Dragons the road to three consecutive wins
	is via Finland and the highly touted Hellsinki Hellhounds. For a
	while back in December that looked like an improbable task and
	Hellsinki smashed everyone on route to manager of the month but
	since January there's been a mixed bag with impressive victory
	being followed by unexpected defeat.
	What is clear is that the Hellsinki team is stacked full of top
	talent. Near enough everyone is multi skilled with Reece Evans
	the star man in defence at 16/14 rated, ably supported by
	Belisarious and Dyachenko. The midfield is insane with Tanaka,
	Honest, Shepherd and Shynkarenko all offering 16 passing.
	DeDavis Roy is the last superstar in midfield with 13 rated
	tackling and shooting and 15 passing. This collection of multi
	stated freaks means they can line up in a multitude of ways and
	cause significant trouble.
	The last problem to solve is the 18 rated freak up front who
	bizarrely doesn't score as much as the 13 rated teenager but is
	still a major problem. All this adds up to a team that can give
	anyone a thrashing at any point and if you compare the two teams
	it looks like it'll be a long day.
	What did the manager say
	"Honestly we are proper screwed here. Can't see any way round
	this problem. I've told the lads to just go out the night before
	and get battered cos at least then the hangover will dampen the
	nerves"
	It beggars belief how this clown got the job

	[move][glow=red,2,300]Nikara Dragons vs Helsinki
	Hellhounds[/glow][/move]
	Overview
	Helsinki had a fantastic result last week, but that great work
	could all be undone with a poor result this weekend. Consolidate
	and they have every chance of taking top spot. Lose and they
	could find themselves with a mountain to climb with just two
	rounds of games left. Cockney in 4th are playing Escocia (1st)
	so there could be a chance for Helsinki to climb 3 points clear.
	Looking at the other side of the coin though... Nikara sit 6
	points behind Helsinki and will think... if we win this one we
	close the gap on points to 3 points, and close the goals
	difference and Cockney could feasibly lose too. Nikara just
	might start dreaming of automatic promotion is they can win this
	one!
	What are the book makers saying?
	Nikara win - 40%
	Helsinki win - 36%
	Draw - 24%
	Nikara by virtue of playing at home are the favourites but, but
	it is very close between the two sides. Tough one to call
	Team news
	Helsinki are back at full strength with Shephard having served
	his ban for three yellows this season. Shynkarenko, Kiss and
	Harrisjones are all one yellow away from a suspension. Back up
	midfielder Kelav is missing for Nikkara but that shouldn't cause
	too many concerns.
	Form guide
	Helsinki Hellhounds WLDLDW (league form)
	Helsinki are back on the winning trail and will hope to keep
	this going and secure back to back victories for the first time
	since December.
	Nikara Dragons DLDLWW (league form)
	Nikara's form looks to be improving too. Remarkably for the
	second week in a row, the opponents actually have an identical
	record to Helsinki with 8 points from the past 6 games.
	Players to watch
	Honzo now looks like a real threat up front for Nikara. Helsinki
	will hope that forwards Kiss and Harrisjones will remain on fire
	in front of goal.
	Manager's mouthful
	"We may have conceded four last time out, but I don't care
	provided we keep scoring more than our opponents. We'll continue
	to deploy Harrisjones further up field and hope that partnership
	between him and Kiss continues to develop as it has done so well
	to date."

	Kingfisher Dolphins
	United 1908
	The new managers 2nd hand in charge and it's a home game against
	a united side who boast a strong main skill across are of there
	side. Fisher find themselves on the wrong side of two
	suspensions in defence which will make the sides progress in
	today's game pretty tough.
	Fisher lost their first game with the new manager in charge and
	with the two suspensions this week prediction are being made
	with many saying another loss is on the cards.
	Our surveys have supporters and experts a like looking like this
	Win % : 20%
	Draw % : 10%
	Loss % : 70%
	So as we can see fans and our resident experts really aren't in
	favour of the fisher side they all love and look forward to
	watching week in week out.
	Training has been intense in the fisher camp this week, as the
	manager is trying to stamp his style on the sides game play. But
	the manager is said to finding it hard to pin point what's best
	for the club tactically as he has said the club needs additions
	to progress.
	An interview with the manager at the midweek point has really
	been an eye opener for the press team. His vision for the club
	isn't going to be one that happens over night. It may even take
	a few seasons but he is said to be determined to get his side
	where he wants them. The only thing the manager is said to be
	trying to still get his head around is all the rules that are
	surrounding the league as they are slightly different to
	anything he's been used to before. With minimal playing time etc
	needed, how he decides on his team week in week out could be
	problematic. But also on transfers and actually does the shade
	need huge amounts of depth within the club to make it work.
	The club's owners have been tasked with finding a bigger
	sponsorship deal for the club and the highest bidder will win a
	5 year deal with the club. But it's not going to stop there are
	part of the club is going to be sold off to the fans to raise
	even more funds and to also give the fans an opportunity to come
	along with the clubs hopeful success. Though we shall see if
	this actually goes through as it's been spoken about before but
	never actually went through with.

	Its coming down to crunch time for Golden Eagles FC and their
	chase of the division 2 title as they host Sky Blues at a snow
	covered Eagles Stadium (thankfully the roof is closed). It maybe
	-20 degrees outside, but the atmosphere inside will surely be on
	fire, as Eagles sit a tantalising 2 points behind Robbaillie
	Escocia. The leaders themselves face a tough away game to
	automatic promotion hopefuls Cockney Cockrells, Eagles fans will
	be hoping their rivals can do them a favour, while at the same
	time getting a good result against Sky Blues.
	Eagles escaped last week's away draw to AFC Coventry without any
	suspensions and have a full squad who are well rested. A bit of
	rotation sees Alessio Kovacic back in his usual attacking
	midfield position behind the front 2 of Pavel Chernyshev and
	Jans Goisthalt. Min So Jouy drops to the bench and Angelo Nazari
	switches to his empty spot. Elsewhere their back 4 remains the
	same, Kai Matsumoto beginning to find his feet after a slightly
	slow start to his Eagles career since his move from Nikara
	Dragons.
	Sky Blues who sit in 9th spot have defender Marcus Hall missing
	through suspension. No doubt their manager Andy "Burty" Burton
	will be hoping his team can do the double over Eagles, having
	beaten them 2-4 earlier in the season at Highfield Road.
	However, Eagles have become a different animal since their last
	meeting, remaining unbeaten in the league as they push for the
	title.
	"We got to get the 3 points in this game to keep our chance of
	our first trophy in our first season alive. Anything less than
	that and a good result from Robbaillie Escocia would certainly
	destroy our chances. We have 2 home and 1 away game during these
	last 3 weeks, including a home tie against Robbaillie on the
	last day of the season. You could say our fate is still very
	much in our own hands at this point."
	We already mentioned that Cockney Cockrells (who sit 4th) face
	Robbaillie at home today. While 3rd placed Helsinki Hellhounds
	(who have gotta be feeling good after their 7-4 win over
	Cockrells last week) are away to Nikara Dragons. Hellhounds can
	cement their position in the top 3 with a good result here, but
	Dragons will be equally hungry, as they are only 3 points behind
	a play-off spot.
	Things are certianly close with only 5 points seprating the top
	4, with booking putting Eagles as odds-on favourites to win the
	title at 4/6, while Robbaillie are 7/4, Hellhounds are 3/1 and
	Cockrells are 5/1 (odds taken from The Hellhounds Howler)

	United 1908 go into their away tie to Kingfisher Dolphins this
	week with nothing to lose really. They still have the chance to
	make up a position or too. However, their opponents today with
	be tough to beat at home, as they chase promotion. While United
	are 2 points ahead of Sky Blues and 5 behind 7th placed AFC
	Coventry, they still have a 100/1 shot of making the play-offs,
	but they need 9 points from 3 games and for Dolphins to lose 3
	on the bounce.
	United have a full squad with no injuries or suspensions,
	although a couple of players are still short on minutes.
	Dolphins on the other hand are missing 2 defenders through
	suspension, R Mayse and Kim Uhl Pohl. United are going to have
	to keep their top scorer Harvey Adkins (with 22 goals this
	season) on a short leash for sure.
	"We don't expect much from this game, so we will be happy with a
	point. The most important thing for us really, is trying to
	finish as high as possible and for the lads to make up their
	minutes."

	Wolves vs Sarnians
	We name an unchanged side from the team that lost 3-1 to Man Utd
	as we continue to blood our youngsters in the remainder of the
	league campaign.
	Hopefully there is an improved performance from that game as we
	take on a struggling Wolves.
