I wouldn't have hoped for a playoff scrap in August either, but I'd rather be in our position than in Gateshead's.

74 points with Hyde (h) and Braintree (a) to play.

Or 73 points with Macc (a) and Cambridge (h) to play.

People accuse Hurst of having his favourites and treating players differently, but some on here are worse for it.

Pearson has an average game. Makes a mistake leading to a goal (poor defending and fouls Akinde for their penalty). Comes out of the game with no criticism.

Thomas actually had a decent game, good going forward. Makes a mistake leading to a goal (the header). Comes out with people saying he should never play for Town again.

Enjoyed the game today despite the result

We win on Monday against Hyde and Gateshead lose or Braintree lose or draw then were guaranteed playoffs simples. Reckon gateshead will lose and we will win Monday  


Gtfc all the way

Quoted from Alfie


Really?! You have much lower expectations than me then. I wanted us to mount a serious title challenge this season and we're wimpering our way into the play-offs.

The way I see it; it is in Braintree's and Gatehead's hands now. If they both win both of their games, they're in and we're not. Simple.

I think we will stumble our way in there by default of one of those two not picking up maximum points but it is nowhere near what I would have hoped for in August.


Obviously it would be nice to challenge for the title, but I'd take play offs. Just look at Forest Green... Their wage bill must be at least on par with ours... It could be worse!

To be honest though if we fail to get into the play offs it w'ont be just
down to the missed chances today, only a matter of a few weeks ago
we were virtually level on points with the likes of Gateshead / Halifax etc
with up to 6 games in hand, most of those have been wasted for varying
reasons, while the others hit form  and if results d'ont go for us on Monday
i fear for us getting a result at in form Braintree next Saturday with them
equally desperate for a result to make the play offs and with home advantage
to boot.
Could be a very long week!













d be a very long week!

PH decision to change the whole 10 against Dartford looks like it may come back to haunt us now. I can see us just beating Hyde on Monday but can see Braintree winning too which means we have to go to their place next Saturday looking for a point. Not the place you want to go when needing a result to get into the play-off's...

Their budget for strikers alone is probably on par with our whole budget!

There shouldn't be any if's but's or maybe's. We've almost managed to fook up a great position with several games in hand. Should have been done and dusted by now.

The players just aren't rising to the challenge and the manger is making too many changes too often.

Thought we played well just didn't get the rub of the green really. At least we looked like a threat at last and scoring 3 goals proved that if you create enough chances you will score goals. Alfreton were a poor team but for Akinde, and our woeful defending, we need to replace Kerr next season he is far too slow getting back when we attack. I would use the same players again Monday and hope we are guaranteed a playoff spot so we can put out the reserves at Braintree when it doesn't matter. PS Thought Cook coming on killed us as an attacking force.
