Just back

Thought back four were excellent, MacKreth worst player out of the 22 that started, as said before apart from the goal he ran like he was in treacle, did not beat a player at any point, even when starting a yard ahead he would just suddenly slow down instead of going for the line or cutting across his man. He could of been clean through twice in the second half but first a bad touch then the next time outpaced by their centre half having started in front of him. Its simple he either has no pace or no confidence. Let him off though he scored the winner.   Glad we went 433 when we did and just about saw out the game, was waiting in injury time for a repeat of last season. Ref was pretty shocking to the point their old boys in the main stand were trying to get over the fence to to get at him.  That slight touch is a free kick, that blatant push isn't etc. Just never knew what he was going to do.
Very cold, very wet on that terracing, lucky I did not have far to travel back but as usual Staffs County Council are incapable of keeping 2 major dual carriageways through the city clear after it snowed for a total of 20 mins. Hope all those travelling back get there safe, Buxton is not the place to head for when it snows.

"Its simple he either has no pace or no confidence"

Can't say I'd know, even at Sunday league level but surely if you are genuinely quick, you just knock the sodomist ahead and run? I can handle that, no issues with that after watching Mark Smith who we signed from Huddersfield do that, he was shite but that was 20 years ago, he used to knock it and go. I see no evidence Macreth is quick, Smith used to forget the football but I had no doubt he was fast. I see no pace, or ability in Macreth. Cheers for todays goal Jack, but improve massively or go back to Macclesfield.

Are we getting away with it at the moment?
Didn't think we were great against FGR to be honest - two moments of quality in a battling performance
Cannot hold onto the ball for 5 seconds
We probably have best defence in league - and it's a good job
We go 1-0 up but never seem able to kick on; why is that? It doesn't make sense as we have some excellent players IMO

said it many times this season - we don't score enough goals and a big part of that is not being able to build a head of steam up with high-tempo, passing football

Results are everything so these cracks get papered over and we all move on

Poor game played in increasingly difficult conditions, as anyone who has been on the roads tonight will know only too well. Neither side could really have complained if it ended up all square but, for all their pressing, Macclesfield only forced McKeown to make one routine save all afternoon.

From what Krusty says, that would be better. Glad I'm a vegetarian .

Bloody hell, thought I was the only one on here.

And it came from a long way out too, it seems to be the only way to get past our defence!

from Morecambe v Carlisle

very competitive game - players in this game the likes of Grimsby may want to sign.

ok  - Kevin Ellison and Jamie Devitt played for Morecambe and were slightly short of greatness in terms of creating / scoring goals.

Was impressed with the threat of Beeley (the Morecambe right back) - where the team plan was to play him in on the overlap - Carlisle  had to resort to highly physical measures to prevent him (without referee intervention) - but he showed his quality - (good defender as well).

For Carlisle, Beck is the main physical striker  - LJL is far more accomplished imo. But Keith Curle team tactics dictated that his midfield neutralised this game - Dempsey and Potts.

Hopefully, Town reps are watching these sort of games - just in case we go up.

I started to head towards Buxton as my Satnav was telling me but I shat myself and turned around.
Picked the M62 up and made it home for 8.30 thank god.
I still cant feel my feet , I cant believe the team coach headed that way, you'd think a professional driver would have seen the signs of trouble heading in that direction

i went that way and have just got home. snow was really bad but peoples lack of having any clue how to drive in it made it so much worse.  

Home 7 hours after leaving !!!! Nevermind, we got 3 points.

Just a quick one, do the guys in a red citreon ds3 come on here ? You was a massive help on the way home. Thank you

Just back seven hours in the Car stuck twice
That's after been stood in the rain and cold for two hours watching a poor game
Mac were poor worse than last season we thought
We did what we had to do
Fantastic result for us
Great support again
Can't make Lincoln
please gtfc put them in there place
Come on Town!!
