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

 

[kieran_vale]

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.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

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

 

[spireite]

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.

 

[JJ1990]

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 their 'you can't release me' stakes in the ground

 

[kieran_vale]

Fair play to Andy Crosby he’s got Tranmere flying right now. Feels like they now have one foot in L2 for next season with this little run. Happy for him, didn’t work out at Vale but a very likeable person.

 

[クレイグ]

Title and top three gone. Fuck off City. Absolute losers.

 

[Grimsby Road]

Dire today Salford deserved the win just . Ref weird but that's not an excuse although they wouldn't have scored if he pulled up the obvious foul before the goal . We look shot injuries have taken there toll and 6 of the big earners are not involved for one reason or another . Colchester look the one's who could go right through to me everyone else is inconsistent to a degree barring them and Vale i suppose who don't lose many . A vale -Colchester play-off final and a draw is my season end prediction

They beat us due to a shit ref. Something I'm sure you're pretty sympathetic to. We should have got something today. Soft pen.

Never a pen.

I think the pen was their only shot all game? Obvs the ref has had a massive say but think we could’ve played all night and not worked McGee more, those missing are crippling us.

Don't recall them having a single chance. We should have scored in the first half tbh. So disappointed.

 

[クレイグ]

Not sure what's worse, the pen decision or the prick celebrating it.

 

[Cloudy]

Grimsby v Salford was probably the worst game I have seen in League 2 this season. It was a 0-0 but we managed to lose!

No excuses re referee, pitch etc. We proved what I have said for months, GTFC are not a play off team imo ( despite looking very good at Walsall last weekend)

That’s a pretty appalling decision. Celebration is just as bad. I’m not going to lie with it being dog eat dog at the top it’s not lost on me it’s maybe beneficial to us but either way not good.

Too many it's every week in multiple games the refs seemingly decide the outcomes in a lot of matches

 

[Randolph Haggerty]

Hats off to MK , easily the worst side I’ve seen this season, special mention to that lad from Notts, he looked good for them, and absolutely shite for MK.
Good win, what a difference Stockley makes
