I'm going to have to say it, it's an absolute disgrace that Cook isn't even on the bench. I'll accept the fact he's not starting, I can see that. But to not even be on the bench after getting MOM on Thursday, overshadowing Tonk & Hannah. Does Hurst has a Vendetta against Cook that he needs to come and tell us all about? His single handed destruction of one player is sad and quite frankly disgusting to see.

That said, hoping for a good performance and something to entertain the fans.

It is a head scratcher. Think Paddy can do a job for us at LB. He can get forward and provide crosses and set pieces.

Suprised we've gone back to jennings, tonkoura did well last home match, cook was threatening at dartford. I understand tounkora didn't do as well away at dartford, but in a different formation in a difficult game against dartford in a weaker team, and why is one start all some players get to prove themselves.

I agree about Cook.
Deservedly won MOM on Thurs.,  and should at least have been put on the bench today. (thumbup)

yes

Tondeur has been referring to John Lewis for the first 5 minutes and has only just realised its Tounkara. How cr@p is that?

Good start to the game from Town, poor start to this match thread! ::)

Right, Tonk's ON...no one told anyone...good old Town ;D

JT just realised lennie not on lol

That is so poor

Halifax winning, Cambridge winning

Tonka !!! 1-0

ET says that Cook now on bench for LJL

2-1 Cambs :o

3-1  ??)

Alfreton 1-0 up at Woking

We've got to press on and get another goal ASAP

Pen !!! Town!

Penalty for Town

And it's......missed :-/

absolute joke, a big tussle to take the penalty then that

youd think that the penalty taker would be sorted prior to the game FFS

Surely Jennings would be a confident pen taker ?

Halifax 3 up

Cambridge showing us how to win a game.

Odd choice that Nielson took a penalty.

Slightly off topic but I think the colour's gone telly; how orange is Charlie Nicholas?

H/T 1-0

Need more goals.

Anynews on how they are playing?

If only LJL had been on the pitch :P

Quoted from highcliff mariner

Do we have a nominated penalty taker?..
..or is it first player to pick the ball up gets to take the kick? (whistling)

Quick game of rock,paper, scissors today by the sound of it.

Hannah is the nominated pen taker with LJL second.

Playing pretty well, made some good moves and pinned Chester in their own half for most of the game.

Penalty wasn't very good, tried to be fancy and missed. Tonk won it and wanted to take it.

Need a second goal to be comfortable though, we tried to sit back towards the end of half and Chester looked more dangerous.

This is the danger.!!

We should never, ever become complacent and sit back on a goal lead. We all know from past experience that it`ll come back to bite us on the bottom.  (wallbash2)

Come on Town let's get the tempo upped and kill this game off.

UTM

We never dominate games its so annoying, the way we play when we're desperate for an equaliser or a winner against a lesser team, and they lift the crowd, why do we never do that looking for a second goal

Cambridge 6 - 1, could be double figures at this rate.

Halifax and Cambridge looking very strong going into the playoffs.

Very. Extremely tough game coming up on Tuesday. Imperative that we win today.

If we get another then I feel more could follow. IF is a bloody big word though!!

Come on

UTM

They sound excrement and we sound almost as bad! Bit frustrating how we've not put in a really decent performance in months.

Just get the feeling the equaliser is coming :(

We all know whats coming next dont we ?  :-/

It's last season all over again, playing crap going in to the play-offs, then not having anything to beat the teams in the play-offs.

Come on Cookie, give us a goal and hursty a headache!

UTM

How we looking?

Why the hell can't we take games by the scruff of the neck and finish teams off early doors?  :-/

I've been saying this for weeks now and been absolutely slated for being negative on here. It's not that we care and can see that we're not good enough, it's because we're too negative and want us to lose...

Pearson trying for another o.g.

Cummon Towwwwwwnnnnn!!!!

Yeah, as fans we really want our team to lose...ignorance springs to mind

Our midfield is poor....Disley and Kerr barely mentioned this half. Where's the leadership, the urging on?

What on earth are we playing at.

Thanoj on for Jennings, are we trying to stop them from playing?

Hopefully gonna give the sidemen a better chance.

Cook actually sounds decent, which is funny because the messiah didn't even bloody pick him.

Who honestly fancies our chances against the likes of Halifax or Cambridge in the playoffs who at the minute are scoring goals in abundance??

Woking equalise against Alfie

Alfreton now 1-1

UTM

Phew...that was hard work....2-0

Well done Cookie!

Yesssssssssssss!!

Cooky = 2-0(yahoo)

Most excellent

Gooooooooooooooooooallllllll Cookie get in

2-0

Chuffed to bits for him, he has given us a bit of a lift since he come on

UTM

Woking 2-1 up Alfie!!

Alfreton losing 2-1

UTM

Cambridge 7...

Fluke goal for them ?? :-/ 2-1

WTF!!!  :-/

The table looks real close now  :-/
Thats Dartford intercourse up might come back to haunt us  :o

Oh Dear

Oh no not again

1-2 with a gloomy loft from a cross!

CAN WE NOT KILL A GAME ?

UTM

that is why we should never sit on a one goal lead, good job we got that second one...

Hence why you always need the 2nd goal

I'm so fed up saying this but....how many times does their one effort on goal go in? We must have smashed the law of averages....really dis-spiriting, and worrying.

TFFT

3 points is the main thing, made hard work of it again but 3 points in the bag.

Much needed win.

Onwards and upwards, let's keep the faith

UTM

Cambridge score 7 without that loanee Bird even playing

Well well well. Delighted for Cook, after Hurst deemed him not good enough for the bench (still a disgusting decision despite a sudden forced change) he goes on and puts in a top performance and gets a goal. No doubt Hurst will look for new ways to put him down, starting with the bench if he's lucky on Tuesday.

Not sure after that game anybody can think that we're anywhere near good enough to go up and beat the likes of Cambridge and Halifax. Obviously I'll get slated for that but it's the brutal truth. We've failed again to put in a performance anywhere near good enough against a dog excrement side.

The failure to put games to bed is very worrying, ah well at least we have a chance as long as we make the play offs .

UTM

I think that's the naked truth PL. It's a good result and we are indeed well placed, but I think we're pretty weak. I've seen or heard nothing to make me change my mind about us not being good enough to be promoted.

Andy Cook proved today that he should always be first choice to play. MOM on Thurs, then scores the winner today.
A win and 3 pts gained. Job done!!


(wine)

Good on you Cooky! That told the short one where to put it! :-)

Delighted Cook got on the scoresheet, no conspiracy theories about him showing Hurst etc. just think he is one of our better players and charcters so like to see him do well.

After the dissapointment on Thursday felt we needed a win today which we got, wish we could make it a bit more comfortable and wish Luton had beaten Braintree today but on current form we should be in the playoffs and frome there as I think most people keep saying we have every chance.  We might not be favourites in them but last year Kiddie would have been favourites going in considering their end of season run and yet they got knocked out in the semi's so we shall have to wait and see!
