We've been the better side by far, don't deserve to be behind

 

[Master D]

Even Lincoln won't be able to afford Miller at this rate.

Gateshead are shite, ref Craig Hicks was a c***. First time I've felt we've been beaten by a worse team.

 

[JaggerCFC]

deserved at least a draw, we were the better team throughout and had a stonewall pen waved away

 

[EnglishRed]

A win and a couple of goals at last. Wrexham 2-1 Bromley

Have we turned a corner? I'm still quite concerned about Barrow on Tuesday but seems like they can't even beat Woking even with all Wokings defenders out.

 

[Reginald Fodstain]

Quick summary: we were less shit than Solihull

 

[The_Boss]

Tek a point.

 

[East Bank Shot]

So frustrating playing against a side with 11 behind the ball and no desire to get forward. We should have won that easily.

 

[Leewilson]

Poor ref decision led to Macc's goal. Still, they probably deserved a point. Very even game and a good showing from them.

The first penalty was as obvious as they come, but I really haven't got a clue what the second one was given for. Bit of a hectic match, we seemed to dominate possession and create a few chances for once, but Sutton looked dangerous enough themselves at times. Things seem to be looking a bit better for us now, if only we had that elusive thing of a player who can put the ball in the net fairly regularly.

 

[FGRJC]

Easy win, another clean sheet in the league.

 

[Luke Imp]

Not a bad 0-0 at our place and defences certainly on top for most of the game. Not really an outstanding performance from either team on the pitch but two teams, in particular Eastleigh, who probably would have taken a point before KO. It felt like a couple of good sides cancelling each other out.

We were the better side for the first 15, then it swung in Eastleigh's favour for 10 and then they seemed to settle for the HT whistle for some reason and didn't threaten again.

Territorially it was all us second half with Eastleigh happy for a point and going 4-5-1 but they had one cleared off the line from a set piece in the last minute and in all honesty, set pieces were their only threat, which was to be expected because we're not a tall side. We could have knicked it in all fairness and in need of another striker option.

Neither team really got going in midfield because it was a bit of a battle and 3v2 in Eastleigh's favour but Wood and Woodyard did well.

They have a good spine to the team in Johnson, Cresswell, Drury, Taylor and Bird.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Frustrating, should have won that but a mixture of poor finishing and a brilliant performance from Moore in the Torquay goal meant we had to settle for a draw. Still, its another point away from home and 2 months since we lost away.

 

[John Still]

Second home game in a week we have not really shown up in the first half. Second half was better but Macc deserved that point.

Injuries starting to mount up now, can see us drifting away to 5-6th.

Well, keep drifting until Wednesday if you would. Looking forward to our visit Tuesday, should be a decent game, we've a pretty good recent record at yours.

 

[slaphead]

Just read that the attendance at Borehamwood v NFU was 313. What is the point?

Thought it would have been less than that to be honest.

 

[Sparrow]

A good, unexpected point for us. I couldn't see past a Barrow win but the players stepped up. A fair result for both sides. FGR will be pleased that Tubbsy scored to deny Barrow points. Six games unbeaten at FORTRESS KINGFIELD now.

The one that matters is on Tuesday against Braintree. Could move six points clear of the relegation zone.

Nothing to look forward to the atmosphere today was dead like a morgue, still you guys can get a pint at half time. I would be surprised if we play three games in a row like badly lthe last two we have been poor. Two went off injured today so we will have at least 4 that might start now out for Tuesday.

What happened?

Sounds like we gave a decent account of ourselves?

 

[Bluandwite]

Really impressive second half performance from us, completely battered York in the last 30 minutes or so. Up to then it had been pretty even.

Got to take our chances, should have had a bagful today in all honesty. Take a point in the end though.
