Ebbsfleet match thread

Quoted from shotandcursed

That's bu11shit if you ask me!  I can see us dropping points against Lincol over xmas. . .

Lincoln's potential to be above us is in their own hands. . . Sh1t!

You can see us dropping points against Lincoln but that does not meen it will happen. We are higher than them in the league for a reason, anyway the only game we should be looking at the moment is Gateshead on Tuesday.

The its a good point away from home mentality will be the difference between being champions or taking our chances in the play offs.
We really do have to start going to these places and stuffing them.
In the coming weeks one of these teams is going to start pulling away from the chasers ,If we keep dropping points like that it wont be us

An away draw following a difficult physical game mid week is disapointing but OK, I still think we need a goal threat though upfront or midfield

Not a full strength team for us.  Difficult game away from home midweek.  GREAT point.  Onwards and upwards town (just the one place for us to move into incase you hadn't noticed!!!!)

UTM.

Who knows you might be right if fans say they're golddust but didn't sound like it was the case today ?

Sounded like we were doing all we could to get the points ?

Of course there's a risk we might condede on the break but equally we may have won and on this occassion, pushing for the win didn't cost us.
Just we didn't win this time but I was proud of the effort cos it sounded like we did all we could to.

So it's a slight disappointment yes and won't get any easier at Gateshead but it's not for the lack of trying.

We're missing Neilson too and whilst I'm delighted Marshall scored, with Colbeck presumably not 100% (and Soares out for whatever reason), obviously we lacking in numbers today especially on that right of midfield.

So all in all, wouldn't say a point is ever "great", but I'd say a good effort, albeit not the result we all wanted.

I do hope we can keep our players fit and get Neilson back (or someone else if we can't) though.

Away to a team on a good run - a good point.

Are we allowed to say that a point is 'good'?

A very good game played by both sides,

Listening to radio is not the same as being there,

Ebbsfleet will climb the league on this performance,

Grimsby need to create a few more chances and take them to get back on the top of the league,

All the fans around me said Rankine was gash at Buxton but was a lot better today,

On first viewing of Rankine,  I think he could be an asset.

Very fair analysis.

My view is that that statement isn't necessarily correct. We COULD have done more with some better distribution across the team. Too many times we won the ball only to give it straight back to Ebbsfleet. That will do for starters but we could also have done with providing better service to the "goal threat" we do have i.e. Hannah.
