[GTFCfish]

Comebacks on.

 

[GTFCfish]

Looking at our squad registration we have one of the smallest squads in the division too. Pales in comparison to our promotion rivals.

Poor old Stockport you have all of our sympathies bud.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Comebacks on.

I'll take 5-5

 

[Conker]

Great goal by Nichols to make it 2-0

Really hoping Swan gets a goal because he’s played really well.

 

[GTFCfish]

There’s still time……

 

[Conker]

Great goal by Nichols to make it 2-0

Ask and you shall receive. 3-0 Swan.

 

[Conker]

Bradford winning at Wrexham late, MK Dons turned it around to 2-1 (great for my bet)

 

[dedwardp]

Sounds like we should have been a couple ahead by half-time, and now blown it in injury time thanks to yet another goalkeeping error.

 

[ForzaCounty]

There’s still time……

Yer man Vernam made a huge difference this half.

 

[Ellis]

Looks like Alexander is going to win the battle of the dinosaurs. Good day for us today.

 

[EnglishRed]

FFS

 

[Master D]

An official crisis, you can't lose that game. First time we've not scored at home in the league since November 2021.

We've been Alexandered again but that ref was a master in breaking the game up for them.

Big questions for Jurassic Parkinson

 

[Conker]

Scored in deep stoppage time to make it 4-0 Mansfield another great goal

We started well, got the goal but then FGR started to apply lots of pressure but we stood strong until half time, second half we turned it up a gear and made pretty easy work of it in the end.

Another good set of results for us too, 4 points clear in the autos with a game in hand, tough one Tuesday against Harrogate.

 

[1862]

Typical with the run that we're on, that we'll face Wrexham with a new manager bounce.

 

[Wootball]

Won 1-0 at home against Crawley. We were poor and really struggled in midfield, but also never thought that Crawley would cause us any problems at all. Scored with our only shot on target. Good results for us at Wrexham and Barrow, up to 3rd we go!

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Wrexham are very meh from the 3 games I’ve seen of them this season, bottom in the form table in the country with no confidence and could still miss a penalty which was a red all day as he never played the ball. We’re still shit but nice to win one.

 

[Amber Nectar]

Another player off injured for us. It happens weekly at the minute.

Apparently Nigel Clough arranged for this to happen.

 

[Master D]

Cook turns for his goal like an oil tanker but that was still quicker than the cruise-liner that is Tozer.

Bradford stopped us scoring at home in the League Cup as well, weird one. Maybe it's the Parky factor.

When Mullin is subbed off when we need a win you know he's off form. Never looks like scoring these days.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Only seen the score updates, but looks like we were well beaten by Wimbledon today. Silver lining is a straight red for Jamie Proctor, who has been absolutely shite for us all season.

 

[Chris FGR]

We actually played pretty well I thought, a few positives to take even though we ended up losing 4-0.

 

[Son of Cod]

Fucking shite that. I know we're up against the best team in the league but we've only ourselves to blame here. Artell persisting with his style without having players that can do it. It's good to have an aim to work towards but there seems to be absolutely no acknowledgement that we're in a potential relegation scrap here. Surely mixing the football up a bit and playing to the strengths of the players we do have in a bid to get us safely over the line before trying to turn our bunch of cloggers into Barcelona makes sense.

Stockport 3-0 up after half an hour with 3 shots on goal I think. Absolutely clinical and then an hour of game management knowing they're way too solid to be in any danger of losing the match. Enjoy L1 lads, you definitely deserve it. Very decent noise coming from the away end today too, Stockport always make a racket.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Showed a bit of fight after going behind to Mansfield's brighter start but needed more quality than we have to get past a good defence. Four bit harsh but all well taken and made with neat work. Keogh looks worth having but obviously not a world beater. No idea where a win will come from.

 

[Stocky]

I watched it on the stream. I thought you were decent going forward and I don't think your players lacked commitment or effort, plenty of tackles and running. But defensivley naive and just gave yourself a mountain to climb. We didn't play that well but were clinical as you say and showed good bits of quality at the right times in the game.

Sutton and Forest Green are showing no signs of coming up on the rails, I reckon if you can keep to that level, you will pick up points from now until the end.

 

[AR27]

Get in. We're still shite and absolutely robbed it today but nothing beats a last minute winner

 

[AdamStag]

not a good start for the bargain basement mystery manager.

Keogh will get better, he is old and not played much recently those knees need a bit of WD40.

I think you lot will give staying up a good go, but may be a bit too much to ask for.

 

[Son of Cod]

Yer man Vernam made a huge difference this half.

Has to start next match, he's been the shining light off the bench a few times now. There was a little spell when I felt that if we scored a second we could maybe snatch a point but that was probably blind optimism as I thought you had gears to go up. Very threatening every time you went up the pitch, Oloafe has been really good both matches, like the look of him a lot.

Agreed, I didn't think we were terrible. My fucking shite comment is more at the constant defensive errors/naivety that we've suffered all season long.

I don't think we'll go down either for reasons you've stated but I feel like we could be going about taking survival by the scruff of the neck as opposed to relying on everyone else being even shitter than us. Seeing us drop out this division twice doesn't help an overriding jitteryness.

 

[BarraMatt]

We'll struggle to make the playoffs on current form.
