[クレイグ]

Stockport all over us at the minute. This is normally where we tire and start to sit back. Worrying. Hope we can hold on. Bench looks really weak.

 

[GTFCfish]

I cannot put into words just how dirty this Salford side are, I’m sure their mission tonight is to snap as many of our players as possible.

 

[Conker]

Injury update from tonight, Alfie Kilgour, Calum Johnson, Aaron Lewis and Hiram Boateng.

No more subs to use so hopefully no more and we can finish the game with 11 men.

 

[クレイグ]

Stockport have missed three chances from about four yards out tonight. Crankshaw coming on - another ex-Bantam who will probably score. McDonald on for us. Hopefully, he adds a bit of composure because we've looked all at sea this half.

 

[クレイグ]

1-1. We've sat back since scoring. Stockport's to win now.

 

[クレイグ]

Penalty and Cook has it saved. He's been utterly dreadful so far this season. He needs dropping but we have no other options.

 

[Conker]

We’ve been absolutely all over Doncaster but they get a chance and take it, one of those nights.

Anddddd we’ve equalised. Deserved.

 

[クレイグ]

Andy Cook one on one with the keeper and can he score.....can he fuck. I wonder if he's carrying a knock because I don't think he's managed to get any power on any of his shots so far this season.

 

[1862]

Respect to Morecambe, 46 points will probably keep you up.

 

[womble76]

Beat colchester 2 zip away and shoukd have scored 5. We really do look good this season

 

[Mighty_Bantam]

What an odd night. Stockport the better team but either team could've claimed they should've won it with the chances they had and it could've legitimately been about 4-4.

Cook looks like the old Cook who couldn't finish his tea. Missed pen and that one on one last season would've been a banker.

That being said, Stockport missed some sitters too.

F/T Sutton 0-1 Gills

3 games, 3 1-0 wins. Beautiful.

We had to properly battle for that one, Sutton played like 1980's Wimbledon and half our team will have neckache come the morning.

 

[SaddlerJonny]

Difference in finishing the difference between Walsall and Wrexham, finished 4-2.

Wrexham direct, effective, decisive.
Walsall good on the eye, soft in the middle, full of mistakes.

 

[womble76]

Maybe we have all misjudged crawleys summer business

 

[Master D]

Feels like we've arrived finally. Mainly because we've played a proper league team for the first time so far.

4-2 to us was about right overall.

 

[LS Bantam]

Can’t be arsed with this season already, the squad, tactics and recruitment bar Pattison all miles behind the decent teams, Hughes gone by Christmas.

 

[chipmunx]

Drew 1-1 at Accy - pressure told in the end. Emile Acquah with the equaliser. feels like 2 points dropped.

 

[womble76]

Feels like we've arrived finally. Mainly because we've played a proper league team for the first time so far.

4-2 to us was about right overall.

Lol you drew with anproper league team on sat. We are currently.3 without loss you know.

 

[jacobncfc]

Didn’t play a more defensive home side in our four seasons in non-league than that. To be fair they weren’t baited into making something happen by our increasingly mad substitutions and risk taking, happy with a 0-0 at kick-off and happy with a 0-0 at full-time. Fair play, I guess.

 

[クレイグ]

Finished 1-1. A night of pub-quality finishing from both sides. Stockport had plenty of chances to kill that game and they should have had a penalty after Platt pushed one of their players in the box. Cook should have buried a header, he also missed a pen and fluffed a one-on-one. On balance of chances, I don't think we deserved a point. Going 1-0 up and sitting back has yet to work but Hughes keeps doing it. It's beginning to really piss me off and other fans I suspect. Would swap him for Challinor in a heartbeat.

We desperately need a new left wing-back because the options there are nowhere near good enough. Kelly isn't good enough and the options from the bench are incredibly weak, not just in defence but in other areas also.

 

[AdamStag]

Injury update from tonight, Alfie Kilgour, Calum Johnson, Aaron Lewis and Hiram Boateng.

No more subs to use so hopefully no more and we can finish the game with 11 men.

that’s unreal.

 

[AR27]

Well to the shock of absolutely fucking nobody, we take the lead, shut up shop and concede late on.

I for one cannot believe it.

 

[Ellis]

Comical finishing from us as usual. Cant really argue that we deserved 3 points when we had to rely on Hinchliffe bailing us out.

The experiment with fullbacks playing as centre backs needs to end.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Stockport missed god knows how many sitters and Cook missed 3 himself, strange night but I think due to all the woeful finishing a draw was fair. Good luck to Stockport for the rest of the season, I stand by what I said earlier, best team in the league and I’d have bitten your hand off pre game for a draw.

 

[GTFCfish]

Nice routine win against an awful Salford, lovely stuff.

Fuck off Salford you dirty bastards.

 

[AdamStag]

I’m sorry mansfield but you’ve got to be winning that, dominant at crewe, dominant here and you’re only getting 2-2 draws at both.

Literally all over them for vast periods of the game yet we’re reduced to coming back from being behind both times.

It’s like last season all over again, sloppy goals, wasteful upfront and injuries all over the place, what the fuck.

Feel a bit ungrateful but the draw away tonight would be bordering on the unsatisfactory had it not been for the injuries

 

[Indian Dan]

Hammered FGR after their red card - Kinsella should have gone before that with a dreadful tackle but got a yellow. 3 games this season - 65 shots. It’s the footballing equivalent of Bazball . God knows how many goals they’ll be at Wrexham Saturday. Hopefully we’ll have some players back from injury/sickness, 6 missing this evening.

A right thunderbastard from Blake-Tracey to win it. Whatever happens this season it’s not going to be dull.

 

[Chris FGR]

Bit of a shitter to concede that late. Good first half from us but tbh even before the red Swindon were battering us and Bunker’s red made it inevitable.

Ref was piss poor, card happy with our lot but ignored an awful challenge by Kinsella on JMT that should have been red. Him limping off is a big blow, he’s injury prone at the best of times, we could have done without him being out for a bit, joining our other 4 long term injuries we’ve somehow already picked up this season.

 

[Indian Dan]

Rumours Troy Deeney was at the game and May be signing for us.

 

[Youpies]

Lesser spotted clean sheet
