Agree with forza, apart from the first 15 mins it was a very boring Game, I thought town would of gone on the attack but they resorted to negative backwards passing with 75 mins to go, as for Bristol although they looked the more threatening it was just the same hoof ball we have been accustomed to at blundell park.

Overall the game lacked any quality and must of showed how poor non league football is to the watching public including the England manager,which to be positive will hopefully dispel any interest in our players.

And that's no criticism of the team they are what they are and I am proud of they way they have performed over the season, it's no shame to fall at the final hurdle against the biggest club in the league, I believe if we stick with hurst we will win the league next season.

For a game with not too much in the way of goalmouth action, I thought it was still a decent spectacle. The first half especially was quite open and entertaining.

Both teams use a defensive style of play which relies on good organisation at the back and lots of hard work throughout the team. I think it's no surprise that the best players on both teams were the defenders today.

I don't mind this conservative defensive approach too much but I would to see us improve the speed of passing through our midfield as we rarely had any threatening counter-attacks, in part because we are often so slow in moving the ball in this area.

Only small tweaks and changes required, but let's hope we can manage to sort these things out during the close season.

Quoted from forza ivano
I thought it was a bloody awful game from two defensive teams who were desperate not to lose. Did either keeper make a save during the whole 2 hours?
Can't fault towns commitment but thought disley and Browns performances were strewn with errors,Palmer offered ver little whilst toto continues to survive by the seat of his pants. Real shame that Arnold was so little involved and not the danger man he could be, because he was asked to sit so deep. Thought even magnay was below par, whilst shop was well dealt with by their centre backs.the left back had mckreth in his pocket. Crossing and corners were poor.
Pearson was motm by a country mile IMHO.  Played a lot of football at the back but failed miserably to do anything meaningful in the attacking half. Rovers were even worse . Quite embarrassing the amount of shanks, passes played straight out of play, players falling over their own feet, miss kicks .the joy of non league football eh?


Couldn't agree more. Behind the rose tinted spectacles that is what it was and saying it is non league doesn't wash. You are playing players of your own level and as such should be able to pass the ball take players on and have a shot that goes toward the goal. Both teams for me were devoid of a couple of players to do something different that could win the game. We relied on the long ball too much and our moves broke down too quickly. What you have written were exactly my thoughts after the game

Rovers were there for the taking today they were awful.it wasn't a spectacle but Town in patches played well.we lacked real q in front of goal mackreth was disappointing with final ball.pearson was man of the match. When we did get behind them 3-4 times the final ball was poor.  I think the town were superb as well we are as one everyone was behind our team we know we havn't felt like that for a few years. Brush ourselves off and think about next season UTM

Not a good football spectacle due to the tension between the teams regarding the occasion MOM in my opinion was Toto
