Good angle here from the club, shows it took a nick off a defender & flicked up just before it reached him -

Would’ve headed it personally.

Having seen the video of the last minute chance, don’t think it was a simple tap in on Saturday. A win would have been great, but can’t complain about a draw.

Thought Clifton had one of his better games too.

Like any league 2 midfielder, Gav has his weak points but he always gives his all and never shys away, even when he's having a bad game. I don't think you can ask for more than that.

All we ever ask of our players is commitment, and irrespective of the result if the players have shown commitment and put effort into their performance we should be happy.


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

Might get a few pelters for this, but...

It's easier to apologise for miss at the end of a game in which we competed and ultimately got something from.

Players aren't so keen to apologise after losing 5-1 at home to a local/relegation rival in which we embarrassed ourselves.

That said, I really like Holohan, think he's been a good player for us. He's definitely a 'Hurst' character, in that he's an honest hard-working player.

I think his experience is needed in the side right now. If we get a crucial penalty on Saturday you'd want him to take it!

Looking at that video it’s not even a bad miss, the deflection means it just pings off his shin, not sure he knew a great deal about it

I've got to say we thought he had a decent game Saturday and along with Danny rose was everything positive about the massive improvement in performance and commitment.
The ball bobbles just before he attacks it resulting in it shinning off his knee, at least he's in there getting on the end of things.
He's got nothing to apologise for.
If you want to make amends Gav, help us put forest green to the sword on Saturday, we must also do our part and support the lads instead of moaning at the first sight of a problem.
Come on town.......

Agree with that; it’s just one of those where attempting to clear the bar from that distance intentionally would be nigh on impossible, and yet he’s managed it whilst trying to do the opposite. Not one to point the finger over, just incredibly frustrating more than anything else - that goes in and the dynamic and complexion of Saturday’s game changes markedly for the better.

I will never criticise skill, only effort. Misses happen. Players are human. He doesn't need to apologise for this.

However, some of his tracking back and defensive work, including standing around in the box flat footed with a cross coming in while a person he could have challenged for a header a few weeks back puts it in the net, yes. It's about 8 I've seen from him this season where lackluster defensive work from Gav has played a part in goals.

Gav's on the ball and attacking is fine. Probably one of the more effective we have in central areas for now attacking wise, but off the ball, defensively, a liability so cannot be trusted in a deeper role.
