Any team news ?

Check other thread entitled Match Thread ;-)

C'mon Town!!

Well I hope the boys aren't as nervous as me!

What a noise from the fans, just like the old days!

Not getting online commentary till 3pm each time is really starting to annoy me.

Yellow for Disley - 88 minutes to keep clear of another!

Welling beating Woking 1-0

wrxham 1 -0 Alfreton

Any action in the match so far???

Yellow for LJL

Ref not giving us anything, Town are playing well Woz.

Cheers mate. And good luck in the icey mate ;)

Commentary sounds like its a dire game

Im sure Gatesheads tatics is to frustrate the crowd we just need to keep at them.

0-1  :o :o :o

ffs

Noooooooooooo >:(

Great goal by Gateshead. :-/

Ffs

Today has been worrying me. The size of the crown almost indicates we won't play well. I've said all week 4 wins out of 5 will see us go up as champions! Let's not worry too much...

so now we find out what we're made of.
With luck we'll score as many times as Buckley uses the word tempo

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Cheers mate. And good luck in the icey mate ;)

And you mate I think you've got it in the bag looking at your predictions, I think you will do it on the Nap.

If we can get to half time without conceding another - then we have to go full on at Gateshead second half - immediate subs - Clay for Disley and Pittman for LJL to enable this.

it's all going wrong- Gateshead again

Whenever we get a decent crowd we always flatter to deceive.

Another yellow for Pearson - too many yellows :-/

Rankine should of walked, he fouled Toto and then pushed Pearson, this ref is giving us nothing.

I think we are playing well, they are dangerous but we are the better team, we just need to create more and the goal will come, Brown and Magnay have played excellent !

Listening to RH... it seems the referee is giving us nothing , seems Mills has sent his players out to annoy, frustrate and niggle... and it's working.... come on Town... we need to win this......

You're not far wrong there mate,

flipping come on Town

Then lets do something the ref does give us c'mon town

Sounds like we are back to the old more worried about conceding and less worried about getting players forward, hopefully it will change 2nd half.

C'mon town we need a win all out attack for me sh*t or bust if we lose we know we have playoffs.

Great noise from the crowd, they would have been silent a few weeks ago

YES!!!!!

Oh baby

What a flipping goal that was. Get in!!!

flipping come on!!!!

Attack Attack Attack Attack Attack

Attack Attack Attack Attack Attack

Come on Town lets have another.

That's better - but please keep our players on the park Paul

UTM

We are all over em now.

The brizzle forum just took a negative turn!

Sounds like we had a bit of stage fright which always seems to be the case for packed home games. Just hope the lads can see this through and turn it into a win now. Come on town.

Parslow warming up lol

Sounds like we need a second wind. Maybe time for JPP

Barnet 1 up....

FFS

I know what I'd like to do with the cursed Manager of the month award

barnet 1 up

Results starting to get a bit frustrating here :(

Win the last 4 and I think we'll do it!!!

Totally against the run of play their goal, still time!  :o

Time for Christian Jolley to flatter to deceive

Well thats it for me call me what u like but thats ended the title charge.  Ok we have Alfreton on monday who are getting hammered by the team we play after Alfreton.

There was me praying for us to get a second and for Nuneaton to score and within one flipping minute the exact opposite happened!  Thanks God.
I guess somebody in Barnet was praying harder! Lol 😁

2006 at Barnet. Do they really deserve league football?

Quoted from Meza

Yes, I think so too. We went on an absolutely superb 8 game run but still never managed to catch Barnet. One bad result was always going to leave us struggling. Need Barnet to fail to win 2 of their last 4, plus Rovers to lose 1, plus we win all 4. Pretty unlikely.

We'll have to pick ourselves up and take on the playoffs. We're good enough to win them.

Quoted from buckstown

Yes because they win matches irrespective of fanbase

get in a bath with a toaster later on pal......

Home form has killed us this season. If you can't beat Gateshead when they are under par then...................


Spoilt my weekend away.

get in get in dizza

Disley is a flipping LEGEND.

Get in!

Yes!!!!

Still too little too late I seriously don't believe the other teams will drop enough points :(

Errmm

Phew! Back in the frame  -- just :)

We are still in it ! this was always the banana skin ...........remember we dont do well in front of big crowds ( at home ) .

Remaining home games need to be restricted to 4000 fans haha

Not sure how I feel walking out of bp

Quoted from Meza

Errmm

I did post after the final whistle, if we had attacked in the first half i really believe we would of steamrollered them judging by that 20 min spell when we scored

I think to keep going like that in front of a huge crowd, to pull one back at the end, I think that tells you how much the team want it. I still think we can do this, Bristol and Barnet arent perfect, they might slip up. UTM!!!

Just about kept us in with a slim chance. If results go our way Monday, who knows?

Its going to be close,

BUT

I think it will have to be the play offs,

Unless Barnet have two bad results and Rovers one,

Bring on Alfreton  :)

Yeas we are playing catch up, but surely there is more pressure on those above???

Will done town for grabbing a point

Title has gone to be honest. Think we've got a really good chance in the play offs though

1 win guarantees playoffs ;D

Whether we can come top or not, that last goal feels massive in terms of morale.  Losing today could have really hurt and getting that late goal will mean the players go home with some consolation to take into Monday.  I kind of expected today to go badly - Gateshead, big crowd, manager of the month, everyone suddenly talking up our chances ... The season isn't over yet though.

Craig Disley I will have your babies.... erm,.... well no I won't actually... but
what a ferkin important goal that could be.... the MAIN MAN !!!!!!!  Can't wait for
Alfreton..... bring it on  !!!

Hurst did well to go three at the back and bringing Chappell on towards the end and it paid off with the equaliser.

Quoted from Tinymariner

Hurst did well to go three at the back and bringing Chappell on towards the end and it paid off with the equaliser.

There seemed to be a definate shift after half time as well with Arnold playing more centrally, Hurst got those two moves right today but felt that our first substitution was again 10 mins too late.
We had the purple patch, got the goal, but lost momentum and the Heed started to come back into it, a sub then could have added some impetus...it didnt happen, they scored and that was that regards getting all three points.  

Really positive end for the team though with the late equaliser.

I thought we played well today, just wasn't our day but at least we didn't lose the game. We deserved the win I thought but credit to Gateshead they had a game plan and stuck to it.

Dissapointed but very pleased to see the comments praising town overall. A few weeks ago everyone would be slagging the team manager fenty etc. but it is refreshing to see town fans still upbeat and giving maximum effort for the team which is being equally matched by the players and staff. Credit for keeping going right to the end town. This was not a bad result or display, we need to remember that, results this weekend for once just didn't go our way. Plenty to play for. UTM

Good post! Pre Christmas the fans and team would possibly have given up at 1-2.

We played with a lot of grit and determination and made enough chances to have easily won but credit due this side battles to the end. A big plus to the fans today they were magnificent even when we fell behind (twice) that as got to lift the side the players responded well.

Looks like it could be the play offs but keep this run going lads your doing us proud it's a long time since I heard that much noise from the park Strangely I still feel it was like a victory, very odd?

I thought the fans were magnificent today. Great atmosphere!

The thing about this team is a never say die attitude which in the end will see us OK whether it be through the playoffs or automatically.
I thought we did everything we could to win this game but were unfortunate in the final crucial areas of the pitch, still a few twists and turns yet, at least a draw keeps our unbeaten run going

Took the Mrs today to BP first time (long story) I took my place in the pontoon and........


She loved it!!
Thought it was ace when we scored and asked why we didn't shoot more often and asked why the ref kept giving free kicks when (cheating Geordies) Gateshead kept falling over and why we had four or so bookings and there wasn't a bad tackle.

Come on Town!!

Good read they did look well organized at the back after hearing all these stories about only just having a make shift to put out there I should have known better they were no push overs.

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

Agree but it didn't take much to push them over.

We were sat in the osmond yesterday and the noise from the whole ground was amazing at times! We could hear the pontoon perfectly and then when all the other stands join in it really made it feel and sound great which doesn't happen a lot at home games. I know the drum gets a lot of stick sometimes but I really believe he does help with games like yesterday and he got the crowd going at times.

I really thought my head was going to explode when Dizza scored and don't know what I will do if we get a last minute winner to get promotion 😁

lol yeah it was pretty good I was in the lower smiths when Jack got that screamer the guy next to me had a cup of coffee all over him lol.

Not from me it was his own.  Nice to see the ground rocking when we went one down a marvelous chant of Paul Hursts black and white army kept going round the ground until we scored.

Some people say big crowds intimidate our players lol absolute bullcrap you watch Arnold always revving up the fans the players love it.
