Goal, Bailey 1-1 Crewe defending as well as we did for their goal. It’s been an awful watch

Looks like an absolute thriller at Swindon. Big Daz would be having them in for training tomorrow putting on entertainment like that.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Finished level all I can say is we got a point, not sure if it’s enough

Probably is. Outside of Bradford I don’t think there’s any of the promotion contenders who you can bank on taking advantage. It’s exciting as a race but has there ever been a collection of more flawed teams than this?

 

[Si Robin]

We were absolutely fantastic for 70 mins, then we gave away a stupid penalty and Bradbury picked up an even stupider second yellow for it. At 10 men, it was like the Alamo and in the end we've dug in for a decent point, but if Bradbury isn't so stupid we get a very good away win.

So frustrating!!

 

[kieran_vale]

Well on top that half but as always we never lead by more than a goal.

Stockley dominated his battle with whoever their centre back is and good work by Tolaj on our goal.

You cannot score, all season it’s being unable to score.

You play a promotion battler at home, the chance is slim the only real plan is keep it 0-0 and hope to nick it……….

You go a goal down by minute 2!!

Fate is just saying it’s not happening for Carlisle

Pepple should really be scoring when charging down that Slocombe clearance, but then County have had a few good chances as well. They're probably the most upset to not be winning at half time. Our CB pairing frittens me to death, so easy to pass around.

 

[BarraMatt]

Death, taxes, and Barrow being shite against anyone 'local'. Somehow 2-0 down despite having a man advantage and the majority of the play.

Poor game at Gresty Road, neither side came to play football, the ball spent more time in the air than on the ground.

Got ourselves ahead as we dominated at set pieces in the first half, had enough chances to get another as we probably shaded the first 45.

Donny made the changes in the 2nd half and it did swing the game to them a bit. Us losing O'Riordan was a big blow as we struggled in the air after that, so no surprise to see the equaliser coming from a corner.

Both sides had chances towards the end to win it. I can see why Donny fans will fume at not being awarded a penalty, felt a couple were questionable, but one was maybe more fair a shout. That being said, a draw was a fair result.

We'll struggle to make the play-offs for a variety of reasons. The way the manager sets the team up, the lack of quality, a lack of killer instincts to see out games like this leading to a ridiculous amount of draws. Frustrating.

 

[spireite]

Wonderful. Good win that. Thought we were really good value for the win in the 2nd half, attacked the game and showed a good attitude. Couldn't help but be nervous of a late Notts goal at the end, it's all they ever seem to do against us.

 

[Coalite]

Well there's me regretting not bothering to go. Considering the season has pretty much petered out already that's a great win. Good attitude from a squad which largely won't be here next season.

 

[codaplenty]

I actually thought we could get something from this game but hey ho
A thumping win by Colchester which propels them in the play offs and can only wish them well
Fleetwood have had a more than decent season so they can hold their heads high. Now for mid table champions !!

 

[BarraMatt]

Death, taxes, and Barrow being shite against anyone 'local'. Somehow 2-0 down despite having a man advantage and the majority of the play.

Finished 2-2. Andy Dallas missed an absolute sitter straight after half time which would have made it 3-0. Should have won.

 

[kieran_vale]

A dominant Vale performance and win which is what I think we’ve been crying out for. In all honesty I think 3-0 flatters MK we were that much better than them. One home win down, two more home games to follow and need to back it up.

 

[Youpies]

Williams is available

Do the brothers roll the dice?

 

[AR27]

We weren't bad first half, should've been ahead, but after the penalty we completely lost our heads.

Injuries killing us and they won't be back anytime soon. Looks like it'll cost us

 

[spireite]

I think that might a reason for the uptick in performances the last few games, a few in there putting there 'you can't release me' stakes in the ground
