I don’t think we’ve even sold our initial 1,000 for next week, having sold out the whole stand last year. Our followings are up pretty much everywhere else, so it’s pretty obvious what’s going on.

Yeah, it was a brilliant goal. The highlights won’t do it justice though and will just show the cross I imagine, but it all came from some fantastic one-touch passing to create space down the other side and then a switch of play by Palmer. Great stuff.

Good point, still don’t know what to make of us. Brilliant for half an hour then stopped completely and clinging on for periods in the second half. Probably a fair result overall. I’ve either forgotten what a good team looks like because of our time in the NL when the points total for promotion...

Not a great draw but an easy one to get to and you never know, they seem a bit off it this season.

We’re a bit more attritional this year, much better defensively but not as free scoring, especially at the minute with Jones and Crowley out (latter hopefully be back for this though). We still tend to have loads of possession but in games like this we’re using it more to be boring than make it...

Doncaster getting smashed by Chesterfield the other week gives me some hope. Play a similar way and the same big away following. Be very happy with a point, though.

Brown looked lost and pretty miserable in his first few games, but he’s improving with every appearance now and looks like he’s used to his role playing a bit deeper. Desperately needed a goal so it was good stuff from us giving him the penalty, I think. Can definitely see a player in there -...

Job done there, might have been a bit hairy if they’d have held onto the lead for a bit longer, but to be honest their goal was an obvious foul and our equaliser should’ve been disallowed for being complete shit. Second half was just a case of how many we were going to be score, job done.

We’ve had a tendency to play ridiculously weak line ups in the cups over the last two or three years, so I imagine it’s people knowing that and thinking there was a bit of value in Alfreton if we do it again. I don’t think we will this time, though - we don’t have loads of players available...

Looks like we’ve sold out 3,000 for Doncaster next week - think I remember from Ches earlier in the season that they aren’t giving any more this year?

We’ve not been taking the cup remotely seriously for years, so with a pretty kind first round tie I’d quite like a little run this year and us not to play the BSM Trophy team as we have the last couple. I’d give a few of the bench lads a start but otherwise go pretty strong with no midweek game...

Yeah, fully agreed. Crowley is clearly our best player, but it smacked you in the face today how much sharper we moved the ball forward without a guy getting on it and doing four pirouettes and three Cruyff turns before passing it on.

Sounds like they played alright today, but that’s unlikely. Wimbledon have been promotion standard at home and relegation fodder away for ages now.

Not sure it was even not clicking today to be honest, just a bit of wayward finishing and a fantastic performance from Belshaw (as is standard against us). We played really well.

Best we’ve played for a while, possibly all season. More of a 3 or 4-0 game than 1-0. But it was helped by very negative and limited opposition, Harrogate looked completely devoid of any life until they had a bit of a go in the last five. Still, great win with how many we have out injured...

I think the only game I think we were genuinely fortunate (on the balance of play overall) was Swindon, where we didn’t play well at all. Morecambe and Barrow were underwhelming performances but ones where we did enough to warrant a point in the second half after a slow start (I have mellowed...

Of the teams we’ve played who you could see being up there, I’d also have Vale as being the best probably. Nothing stand out but they were functional and once they got ahead very good at defending a lead and keeping us at arm’s length. Barrow the others who stood out a bit to me, they pressed us...

Only goal we’ve conceded when ahead this season was the one against Grimsby when we were 3-0 up anyway. Just ridiculous how many times we’ve gone 1-0 down in games.

I can’t remember seven games ago, but we’ve won more than one in that time. Beaten Carlisle and Wimbledon in October. I wouldn’t be confident predicting anyone at this point. Vale currently most likely, but every other team who has threatened to stay top for a while has swiftly fallen apart. If...

We’re not playing well, but win here and we’ve had a good little run and backed up some good results in difficult games. I’m not sure how much of the general feeling around us at the minute is down to how we were last season and adjusting to a new reality of this is a team that’s built on a...
