Does anyone know where we can see the highlights of this game, or even just the goals?


Highlights will be posted on the clubs YouTube channel at 10pm tonight.

Kept checking the the weather on the drive up, half expecting the game to be called off given the monsoon in the midlands. But it was a perfect night for football.

My first game since the first lock down started and what an awesome experience. Have to say this team fought like hell. Chasing every ball, not shirking a single tackle, putting their bodies on the line, and playing some great one touch football.

Wrexham had the majority of possession in the second half. I may be wrong  but I can't remember a shot on target from them in the second half? I don't think we will come up against many better sides than them in this division, so we need fear no one.

When Max ran through to finish the roof came off the Findus and my lungs exploded. It was a finish worthy of George Best! For a local lad to do that in the 90th minute in front of the Pontoon, well it's fairy tale stuff.

If my maths is correct that is 10 goals in three matches by 8 different scorers! Incredible.

These lads never give up, and fight all the way. After years of feeling anger, frustration and shame watching the shower of useless and disinterested journeymen disgracing the shirt I can once again say that I am proud of our team.

PH was clear that he's not bothered about another striker IF he can keep Lenny and Taylor fit.

Sorry, in my joy posted this on the wrong thread last night.

Further thoughts this morning:

Hurst has (very quickly from a zero baseline) crafted together a team/squad in his own image.  Only even more entertaining. Team spirit second to none.  Mental toughness throughout the team is  A star rated.

We have already put together some very impressive non-Town stats this season. 3 wins from a goal down (2 v Barnet), 3 consecutive 90th min plus goals and 5 consecutive home goals of the highest quality.  All different.  X number of different goalscorers. These excellent goals were all critical. An equaliser and winner against Barnet,  Equaliser, winner and KO goal against Wrexham.  Not even covered Torquay.

We have 3 injured players to come in.  Plus a new striker some time.  Just need a good FA Cup run as well, like Lincoln, against weakened teams who underestimate us.  To bring in some much needed cash, some glory and to test us against bigger teams.

Very long way to go. We need consistency in the future as well, and to be clinical and ruthless at home against teams who park the bus. As they will.     Many  fans dislike tennis but quality and mental toughness/resilience can take you to the very top. Plus massive vocal support who believe.  

In the car last night we said that Wrexham went for "Hollywood" star individuals.  They should have spent the money on strengthening the team generally.  Disappointed with them last night. Our constant intensity and pressing was too much for them.  (We had a very long trip to Torquay as well).      They are like Juventus with Ronaldo.  A team built around a start player, but failing in the CL.  (Juve won 3-0 away last night without him).

................................  

Just back (in York).  Having a Jaipur IPA to celebrate - just about everything tonight.  (Could not get a beer in The Trust Bar before the game, too busy).

A very well-deserved win based on team work and effort. The fans were worth a goal. Cannot remember a better atmosphere, crowd and performance.  Against the favourites, who were very average.

The whole Club and team have come a long way very quickly.  Not just happening in tennis then? The fans recognise this progress and are flocking to BP. And are enjoying themselves again.

Good to see Craig Disley in the UF.  He would have been impressed.  

Even the weather improved

Saw the player ratings in the GT.  Not seen the that high for a long long time.  Findlater's lowest rating was 7 for Wright and he scored!   Last year 7 would be Star Man. Good times.

If anyone got a 7 last season, he'd have been accused of watching a different game.

I'd still really like to see a loanee striker come in. For two reasons, firstly if Taylor gets injured now we don't have anybody else for a couple of weeks and we'd be forced into picking somebody up anyway. Secondly, it's healthy to have competition and options, Taylor and LJL are similar types of players and a hungry loanee with a bit of pace would be a welcome addition IMO.

It seems an unnecessary risk to me. Hell, if Taylors wife has a baby on Saturday then we don't have a senior striker.

Another fantastic performance - these days, going a goal behind isn't necessarily the disaster that it once was.

Impossible to decide on MoM - the recent run of great results seems due to a combination of superb team effort, tenacity, will-power, confidence, ability, positive attitudes, physical strength and energy.  Last night was no exception.

You would expect the adrenaline to be flowing against a team like Wrexham, with all their recent hype.  Please, please, please GTFC, don't take your foot off the gas against Eastleigh.  They may present different, possibly greater challenges and our players will need to battle just as hard, if not harder.  Strictly no banana skins please!
