Halloween Not-So-Special Match Thread

'Should' this, 'should' that. With all due respect, it's coming across as a little arrogant. There are no teams who are head and shoulders above, on or off the pitch. Nobody 'should' be running away with anything.

Who said running away with anything? I said title challenge and I said we're better prepared than most. We've got a 5 year advantage on you so you'd like to think we'd be better placed to win the league but we're not. It's not a ground breaking opinion.

It's not arrogance either when I'm sat here telling you that you're better than us.

Fair enough, maybe I misread it. It does raise the prospect of this turning into a very entertaining title race though!

I understand Pontoonlew's point fully. It's the same as when we lost in the playoff final in 2012. Most Cheltenham fans then expected automatic promotion in 2013. Despite coming two places higher in the League we lost in the semis and that was seen by some as going backwards. It didn't matter though because we were definitely going up the next season.

The difference with Grimsby though is that they've gradually got closer, kept the majority of their team from last season (probably even improved it) and feel they are better placed to go up. If I was a Grimsby fan, I'd have the same expectation.

Back in the DHSS - "Halloween has already visited Prenton park this season when the monsterous Eastleigh came to town".

You lost a game of football, get over it and let it go.

I can hardly describe what we saw coming from your shower of thugs as football. Oh for a half decent ref in the return game instead of the clown we had at Prenton that day.

 

[Sparrow]

Need something today. COYC.

 

[Railway Blue]

Never realised what a wanker Harry Pell is.

Wanker ..... maybe, but m-o-m on both his visits to us

 

[EnglishRed]

Pell has always looked ok when I've seen him. Why did Eastleigh get rid?

 

[yellow]

Assuming we'll see some sort of backlash today after last weeks..."performance".

Alty 1-2 Gulls (Fisher, Hurst)

 

[GuiseleySteve]

New Bury loan signing slots cooly home for Guiseley 1 - Welling 0

He choose to join us rather than them getting rid, spoke with Gary Johnson and felt we had a better chance of promotion.

 

[Forza Imps]

Sounds like we're huffing and puffing a bit like on Tuesday.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

And a second for new boy Anthony Dudley, what a difference a cool finisher makes

 

[Southern Shayman]

We can't be this good for another 45 mins... Surely?

1-0 HT and thoroughly deserved.

I'm here, we've actually absolutely battered them. All that's missing is a goal, their keeper has kept them in it.

No. We can't.

I meant like we're putting a lot of effort in to no end, so far.

 

[Southern Shayman]

Cheers ref. Plays the shittest "advantage" of all time. They break and score.

 

[Forza Imps]

Shite and balls we're 1-0 down.

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

Very uneventful game where we should've scored before HT. Jalal having not had anything really to do then makes a rare howler to gift a goal to Braintree.

 

[Ollie.TUFC]

Don't worry lads. Nothing is as laughable/tinpot as Tyrone Marsh getting sent off for pushing a teammate...

 

[PaulHaddock]

Kiddy!

 

[pontoonlew]

Yes Kiddy! Delighted for them.

 

[Vanni]

Yeah good win for Kiddy if they can hold on, problem is that my 'second team' Halifax are now propping up the table

GH will be transfer listing himself after this defeat.

 

[CrazyImp]

Haha, here comes the inevitable complete collapse in our form.

First half we've bossed it, second half a role reversal. Credit to Bromley.

 

[Vanni]

FFS Wrexham! Wasn't 3-1 enough? Cost me 4 points in the prediction league that 4th goal.

 

[Southern Shayman]

Eastleigh probably about value for that but decent performance in the end from us.

What a set of nobheads their fans are though.

Don't give them fuel, they'll claim you're "moaning".

 

[Master D]

Well done Kiddy on winning a football match.

 

[Mark kavanagh]

Without dawson our season is well and truly dover
