Congrats to Northampton on a well deserved promotion. I agree with 'Gashead'a few posts above. The game had 3 distinctive periods. I thought Rovers started the brighter and had the better of the first 20 minutes. However the Cobblers goal on 23 minutes seem to really knock the stuffing out of...

Northampton have been a long way clear of the chasing pack for some time and now have a 14 point lead with just 6 games to play. I can't see them suffering from nerves. Realistically they don't need another point to secure the title, it's already won. They're deserving champions, they have the...

Not very often I'm critical of the opposition by oh dear, Crawley have to be the most boring side I've seen in 20 years. How anybody can watch that every week is beyond me. They didn't come to play any football, just parked the bus from the 1st minute and wasted time at every opportunity. The...

Need to bounce back here but there are no easy games in league 2 and I'm expecting another tough test on Saturday. I haven't looked at the history but I always think of Crawley as a bit of a bogey side. We've obviously had a great March until our defeat at Carlisle on Monday but Crawley have...

An enjoyable but frustrating game. We started slowly and Carlisle deserved their early lead but the double substitution on 20 minutes changed the game and from that point on I thought we were the better team. Took advantage of poor defending for the first but should have taken the lead right...

Credit to Cambridge who came to have a real go instead of parking the bus but in truth it probably played into our hands. We normally struggle more against the teams that get everyone behind the ball and play for a draw. Nice turn and shot from Bodin for the first. The keepers a bit unfortunate...

They probably should have played safe and made it all ticket. I don't think they anticipated our recent results and 3rd place league position. Prior to the last couple of weeks I think they'd have been hoping for a crowd of 9k including about 500 U's. I don't think you'll have too much to...

We're missing some important players for this match - including our player of the season Lockyer - so I'm not overly confident. Harrison, Lockyer and McBurnie are all away on international duty and Mansell, Sinclair and Lawrence are all out injured. Gaffney managed 55 minutes against Newport...

Surprised at how ordinary Mansfield were. The way they approached the game made it feel more like a pre season friendly. They did absolutely nothing for 85 minutes and to be honest didn't seem to be up for it at all. Considering we had a number of players out injured and many more playing with...

A really enjoyable game of football. Think we deserved our 2 goal lead at the break and it probably should have been more. Easter could have scored when clean through but the keeper made a decent stop and we definitely should have done better when Lines and Taylor broke through with just 1...

Neither team could use the pitch as an excuse for a bad performance, it's in very good nick. Hopefully a good game, which in my opinion is too close to call.

Our home form has been good recently but this is anything but a banker given Wimbledons record. They're 2nd in the form table over the past 10 games and unbeaten away from home for 5 months, having lost only 2 on the road all season. They've won 4 out of their last 5 away games, with a very...

I'm not confident about this one despite the problems at County. Our away form has deserted us completely. Over the past 3 months we've P6, W1, D1, L4, losing our last 3 on the bounce and if it wasn't for a stoppage time free kick at Pompey we'd have failed to score in 5 of those games...

After our recent run of form and Hartlepools impressive draw with Northampton, I wasn't expecting such a one sided match. The result wasn't really in doubt from the minute Taylor put is in front. He walked away with a hatrick but should have had at least 4 because the disallowed goal was never...

Strange game really. I thought Wycombe edged the first half without really creating anything of note but Rovers were the better side in the second. We seemed to be getting more and more on top as the game wore on and looked the more likely winners. The game was lacking quality and I guess the...

We've been taken over by the Al Qadi family not an individual so we're never going to know exactly what our new owners are worth. They have a great number of businesses between them and they're clearly not the sort of people to shout about their wealth. It's fairly obvious they're pretty well...

Didn't think I'd be saying this a couple of months ago but we need to improve our away form. Since beating Dagenham on Dec 19th we've P5, W1, D1, L3 and the win was a bit of a smash and grab at Oxford. If it wasn't for the 90th consolation at Pompey we'd have failed to score in 4 of those 5...

The old board simply didn't have the finance to take the club any further. If we have ambitions to play in the Championship or beyond then a takeover of this sort was our only realistic chance. It's not that surprising there were other interested parties, they see the potential to take the club...

I'll be making the 200 mile trip from Bristol so I'm hoping the game goes ahead. I was impressed with Accy when we played them at the Mem back in September and I'm not surprised they're having such a great season. Win their games in hand and they could be 3rd and they only have to W1, D2 & L1...

Pretty close mate. Fairly even first half with a few chances at both ends. Felt we probably edged it but the best opportunity fell to Plymouth with either Mildenhall or a defender blocking the shot over the bar. Plymouth put us under pressure for the first 20 minutes of the second half which...
