Just Back

Quoted from Jaws

We'll be OK, play-offs have a home leg and Wembley is our 2nd home  

Like your thinking  

Quoted from jamesgtfc

Play-offs are one leg so it depends where we finish. Need to finish 2nd or 3rd to not play an away game before Wembley.

Must admit I didn’t realise that!

Max Wright is a good player at this level. Hoping he finally manages to stay fit for us and for him. Town fan and can really give us something

6 teams in the play-offs so it's:

4th v 7th (to play away 3rd)
5th v 6th (to play away at 2nd)
Final

I thought the first 35 minutes were a bit meh, with Halifax looking the slightly stronger on the ball but neither side troubling the keepers. Not sure if it was Hunt coming on for Coke but we looked better in the last 10 minutes.

Second half we were much the stronger side and creating chances, it's just a shame we gave a goal away with a mistake from Crocombe and also the ref being a complete twit. If it wasn't for that I am sure we would have won.

We need some 90 minute performances like that second half, we may then crawl our way back up this League.

There’s nothing massive I can add to what has been said already on here but I had been concerned that maybe the poor run was in a small part down to a lack of resilience but this afternoon clearly put that to bed.

Disappointed with their goal if I’m honest but it has to noted that Crowcombe had little to do for most of the game. Looking back neither keeper has been that busy at home from what I recall.

We finished the game with a lot of young talent on the pitch and I think that energy really kept up the belief and momentum.

Halifax are very streetwise (cheating) and well organised and I’d expect them to be right up there come the end of the season.

If we stay lucky with injuries and add a couple getting in the play offs is more than achievable.

Thank you for that, so we really need to finish no lower than 5th, or no chance of a home play-off game at all

Thought Hunt changed the pace of our game when he came on, Pearson’s distribution at times was superb.

Deserved that point, feel like we could’ve got 3. Feels much better being able to say McAtee will be back for the next one.

Yep, a bit like the World Cup playoffs nowadays too. For example, if Wales and Scotland win their respective one-leg semis, Wales play a home one-legger against Scotland for a place in the finals. No away goals rule or aggregate scores. At this stage I quite like the idea but if we finish 7th I might whine a bit more I reckon!

I agree that Hunt did well today. In fact, by far his best performance for months that I've seen. Probably helped that everybody was in pretty decent form and showing for the pass.

The fact that Hunt seems to be more effective when playing a bit deeper makes me think that's probably going to be his best role for us.  I'd also hope that McAtee will return to the team and get back to form quickly and this will hopefully allow Hunt to get further forward on occasion.

That's assuming that Hunt stays for the whole season, of course. Is he just here until the end of the month at present?

Very few wasted passes from us today which makes a big difference to most games over the past couple of months!
