Just back

Someone gives a report of the game and gets two crosses.
Someone who didn't go to the game puts up their "expert" analysis and gets three ticks.

Fishy logic.

the 3 in central midfield gave us more of the ball and stopped Gateshead playing. Disley was very good and Clay decent too imo. Brown? Ran around but continually made the wrong decision. Held it when he should have passed and too often tried Hollywood passes and gave it away. IMO he should have been replaced after an hour with Paddy but not on 85mins!

Whilst the 3 in central mid gave us more control we lacked width. You have to have your full backs prepared to provide it and although Magnay tried, it was clear he was on his 'wrong side and we lack balance. Parslow is a centre back, not a particually good one imo but a centre back nonetheless. What he isnt is an attacking full back. He looks the most uncomfortable on the ball in our entire squad and you know if he does receive the ball he simply turns back and passes it safely 5 yards away. It gives us no threat whatsoever and we lose momentum.


Toto was outstanding defensively. The man was unbeatable and his strength and timing were excellent. His distribution wasnt but i can live with that in the 5th tier.

The new lad? OK but perhaps doing him a diservice if i say I can never see him getting me on the edge of my seat. Pitmann didnt offer much else when he came on.

Arnold who appalled me in the Macc game worked hard enough. He played in the free role behind the front 2. Nielson would have run riot in that role.

The penalty appeal? Not for me. Brown nipped in front of the defender and threw himself to the ground in a half hearted attempt to con the ref.

Martin Allen watched about an hour before leaving. Not sure what he would have made of it other than ordering his southern softies leggings and new gloves?

Subs were a waste of time. Paddy got 5 mins and Mackreth 1. No point whatsoever imo

no need for the over analysis.

its simple ,we were rubbish .

same old excrement served up.

But you didn't go did you?

We were awful, they were awful! Hurst wastes the chance to give fringe players some game time! Ridiculous subs in the 85th and 90th minutes! It was almost like he wanted a replay!
We'll be lucky if Barnet don't murder us next week!
Going nowhere with Hurst!  

Two poor teams running around trying to keep warm, that's it, our keeper was the busyist

But you didn't go did you?

no thank god.

trust commentary and john cockerill words of "quite dire" though as enough ta.

It is because a lot of the posters on here are complete c0cks!

John Fenty had to leave the forums because of them and they want more and more 'true fans and supporters' to stop posting: Scunny and Lincoln fans really I suppose, or as I said in the first sentence 'complete c0cks'.

But you came onto the thread to disrupt and be negative: why mate?

Are you included in that group ?
woof woof.

Nothing much to warm us up today in difficult conditions. We had more of the play going forward but could not carve out many decent chances. Arnold looked the most likely and had most attempts on goal. We are just too slow to get the ball into the attackers. Playing square or backwards passes. Our new Andy Carroll look alike showed the odd good touch, came close to getting one of his trademark close range finishes which was scrambled away. Looked a bit lost in the first half, but put himself about a bit more in the second half. Pearson came closest to breaking the deadlock but their defender was in the right place to clear his header. Good to have Toto back.  Putting subs on in the 85th and 90th mins, what is all that about? Finally don't get me going about Parslow .
So a replay we could well do without.
