2-1 to Bristol rovers

You were saying?

 

[BeesKnees]

Mansfield in the relegation zone I see.

Great result for us at Dartford. Bristol Rovers now one win in four

 

[GodsGift]

Finished 1-0 against Dover, our seven win in a row at the Bank.

 

[Luke Imp]

7 in a row.

 

[BeeSting]

Dover not scoring cost me my accumulator, argh. Dover hit the bar in the last minute too

 

[GTFC1979]

A Telford fan on another forum calling us tinpot for not getting our game on.
So 1 home postponement due to weather in about 30 years is definately a valid case of tinpotitus on our part!!
The guy in question is always a total tw@t as well so the fact he got nearly here before finding out it was off has actually cheered me up a bit!!

That's what you call a Sincil Banker. You could put your kids through college backing Lincoln at home and laying them away.

 

[Railway Blue]

We win 3-1 at Welling. That's 3 wins on the bounce. Don't think we've done that in since we arrived in Conference Premier.

 

[CrazyImp]

Told you we'd win - albeit with a huge slice of luck for the goal. (Keeper dropped the ball after catching it with two hands on it)

Did just about enough for me on the balance of play, although Dover should have had a couple of goals during our obligatory sleepwalk of a start. Good side they are.

Now to lose 0-5 to Alfreton on Tuesday....

 

[Gashead]

Play-offs for us I think - disappointing not to win today

 

[Master D]

Was going to be 0-0 from 5 minutes in. 2 awful sides playing awful football.

 

[Dom_Imp]

ground that one out, at one point we had Marshall playing at RB...

Playoffs, incredibly, still a real possibility.

 

[Forza Imps]

We're an odd little club, I'm really not sure why we're so good at home and terrible away.

 

[Sparrow]

Well, that was easy. 2nd gear etc.

Mark Ricketts made his first appearance and start since September. We're coming for you Barnet.

 

[Aber gas]

Embarrassing and pathetic . Barnet fans must be laughing there arses off .

Second half maybe, but not the first. You were as bad as Alfreton, though both sides looked like they were struggling with the surface which resembled a beach. Second half when you passed the ball more you were comfortable, but being honest, you should have scored more given yuo stopped playing at 3-0. Alfreton were truly woeful, going down for certain.

So far, one of the horses keeps changing every week.

Under KA with Simpson as assistant it was the opposite!

People used to only go to away games!

Am I going blind, or has that thread disappeared?

 

[Luke Imp]

Gone, but about 10 days ago there was a server issue where some posts/threads were lost.

All posts from that particular day (Wednesday 21st I think) went.

 

[CrazyImp]

Never going to get a better chance to break the away hoodoo....Alfreton shipping another three today.

Just going fifth even despite the amount of games played would at least give us something to cling on to.

(We'll lose, I know)

 

[Pliny Harris]

Good result for Chorley at Flyde.

 

[The Cards]

After not winning for 2 months we're 6th. Funny old game aint it

6th, we can't possibly be? People had us Dropping Like A Stone to mid-table ages ago?

 

[BeesKnees]

Forest Green looking dangerous again even after the three point deduction. Got to expect Halifax, Eastleigh and Gateshead to pick up a few points each from their games in hand so I think the fight for the last playoff spot is going to be fierce. Can't see the top four failing to make at least playoffs at the moment

Loving the three draws in last four games by Bristol
They dont appear to have learnt that getting out of this division is points, points, points and an unbeaten run counts for naught if you draw so many that the opposition can afford to lose the odd game.

 

[springerbfc]

Bristol Rovers will do well to top 85 points now. They will probably need to win all of their home games.

Grimsby perhaps now the more likely challenger as Macc's away form is patchy.

This postponement looks superbly timed especially if we can win what will be a tough home game with Woking next Saturday.

I suspect even Urban's dire take on things took a slight positive movement thanks to Dartford

 

[ShrewdBlue]

Another good performance from us today.

Welling's pitch was horrendous and cut up badly but we dealt with it well. Good header from McBurnie and a Rooney pen sent us in in front at HT which was a deserved lead imo.

Rooney direct FK was quality but 2-1 would have been comfortable enough as Welling didn't offer much.

Their captain Gallagher deservedly got a straight red for a bad 2 footed challenge on McBurnie - B2TF you were right to warn me about Welling being thugs.

 

[Dan_Macclad]

The next month will decide if our challenge is serious.. A run of very winnable fixtures and a potential winning streak up for grabs, but could just as easily bottle it.
