To all the doubters.......

Could we not just name Brown as a sub and get him booked while on the bench for something so he'd miss a game whilst injured?

Not a bad idea, if only we had a game with 7 subs coming up!

Well whatever happened post-Altrincham had the desired effect. Whilst we'd like to be entertained, results are the be-all and end-all and the club desperately needs promotion as has been made clear by the accounts. We cannot and should not expect Mr Fenty to prop up loss after loss whether or not we blame him for where we are.

I'm not a Paul Hurst fan but I will give him credit for the recent run and for clearly getting the players behind him. But let's be right, the time to judge isn't now and there's bound to be many bumps in the road, so let's wait and see where we are at the end of the season.

It is what either a; (delete as applicable)
1. cheating, exploit the rules, ungentlemanly , underhand and down right dirty club would do..
2. clever club would do to ensure key players are available for them at key times.....

I agree with you. The end of the season is the time for pats on the back or axes on the neck.

Just watched the Braintree "highlights" though and if they are even 25% like a reflection of the game, Braintree were absolute crap. With the amount of possession we had the game should have been over after half an hour. Why are we still not killing sides off? Why are we leaving LJL on his own up there when it's obvious the opposition is there for the taking? Why are we just plodding along hoping for a break even after an hour? There were some terrible final passes and even the goal was the result of a pathetic attempt at a save from a dribbling shot that the Braintree keeper pushed straight out in front of him. Braintree looked like a pub team and we played like a Lincs League team. The difference between the sides was that we gave the ball away slightly less than they did. Good enough for 3 points but hardly impressive and certainly not going to frighten Barnet. Whatever Hurst says, this was not a hard game and we could and should have walked all over them.

Highlight of the night - so many Town fans turning up at a ground of the kind we used to laugh at when we were a real football club.

It's a long way to go yet in more ways than one.

Quoted from JMT

if i'm honest PH has completely changed my opinion on him, i was one of the people calling for his head, do i take back what i said at the time? Absolutely not! I Seriously think the criticism and the people on his back could have been possibly what's changed this team around...

That is the worst reasoning i have ever read.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Haha. Yeah, you're a hero. Thank you for all you did for this club.

Yeah - marvellous how all along it turns out they were actually deploying "reverse psychology" when many of us thought they were just being unreasonable, impatient, repetitive and lacking in balanced judgement.

If only we had realised they were applying advanced mind games...keep it up!

Quoted from Abdul19

Halifax's game in hand is against FGR so they both can't pass us (by which time the table could be completely different anyway) (Christ, I can't believe I checked fixtures for 4 weeks time)

So 7th then.

Yes

Quoted from KingstonMariner

So 7th then.

You appear slightly disappointed that we failed to pick up more than 3 points last night?
