Just sat in the front room with my son and daughter with BT sport at the ready, we are all sat with our town scarfs on  8)

C,Mon Town!

Just heard delayed kick off due to Town being caught in traffic en route - superb preparation for one of the most important games of the season !!!

Do we never learn from previous mistakes ??

Hope it doesn't affect the team too much tonight!!

Do we know how long Acko?

How many times does this have to happen to us? It's utter dogshit for the fans who've got to work tomorrow, and means the players turn up totally unprepared :(

8pm KO

Anyone know the Live Event number?

I presume the delay is due to the power failure on the London network?

Just can't wait for the match to start now to settle my nerves.

I take back my little rant - the team stayed 10 minutes away overnight.. just sheer bad luck!

Mckeown, toto gowling pearson magnay, mackreth dis brown and arnold, LJL and palmer up top, bench hannah, clay, parslow, pittman and chappel

Good interview by Paul, he looks relaxed.

Disappointed Brown starts ahead of Clay but let's do the business Town!!

UTM

I am quite impressed with Hurst's choice of Nsiala at right back, although i dont think Gowling is as good as Nsiala at centre back this at least shows Hurst being a little tactical.

I'm glad he's done that with the back four but I think Pittman is unlucky not to be starting. Horses for courses I guess.

Come on you stripies. Give it to em....

Great support by Town, well done, you are doing us proud!

God I'm nervous lol

I think the shop is going to have a massive impact on this game

Here we go! Let's get ready to rumble!  8)

C'MON TOWN, LETS DO THE BUSSINESS

Shaking

This is my only way of following the semis (based in germany ). Come on town lets do this. UTM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good chance there for Town.

Get in Arnold!!!!!

1-0 Arnold

GOOOOALL - arnold lobbed the keeper from outside the area.

YESSSSSSSSSS

What a strike that was!

Yesssss

What a glorious strike! :)

Disappointed to hear we've thrown a flare on the pitch though ffs.

yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Top class strike

Play stopped for a flare on the pitch, looks Blue but BT say from the away end. Looks miles away from the town fans.....

flipping yea!!!!

Why the intercourse throw a flair on the pitch, Tossers!!  :-/

FLARE - WHY OH WHY

Near chance for Arnold - looking strong town but early days yet.

UTM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arnold nearly scores again, very strong start from town!

Should of been 2

All over these bunch of cloggers. Fookin hell fire. Palmer should have made it 2

Palmer hits post.

Town should be 3-0 up

Should have scored!!!!

How the hell did he not score!

Oh ollie thats poor

Palmer with an LJL moment

Good intensity. Keep this up and we should score a few

Lack of composure.  Tried to leather it.  Arnold probably should have made it 2-0, but a decent save by the keeper.

Forcing mistakes from Eastleigh, very good start by town.

We keep this up and I can see us scoring 3 or 4, Eastleigh look nervous.

Yeah we look very comfortable. It's great to see. Just hope we can keep this up.

Brilliant opening 10 mins, wish Ollie had buried his chance. I really hope that doesn't come back to bite us on the bottom

Gowling has aged badly!!

Quoted from topuphere666

Gowling has aged badly!!

So have i over the last ten years

are we still on dominating its killing me not having commentary

Quoted from sapper mariner

are we still on dominating its killing me not having commentary

Still good but the tempo has dropped a bit

I can see Eastleigh being dangerous from set pieces, another goal by half time to make it 2.0 would be nice. 8)

Interesting stat. We've scored in every away game this season!

Quoted from topuphere666

Didn't at Bristol.

Interesting stat. We've scored in every away game this season!

Didn't score at Brizzle

Just repeating the commentator ha

This game is a repeat of the league game at Eastleigh - just 1-0 up but it should be three or four.

Reason just kicked out at Disley, did anyone see that ?

Dizza's got them all wound up.

Tondeur's just made it sound like McKeown should've conceded a penalty. For a moment it sounded like he'd kicked it into his own net or something!

Good old John, making my heart skip a beat.

Eastleigh want a war! Just hope we don't fall in to that trap.

Reason was stood like 2ft in front of him when he was trying to take a goal kick. Wouldn't back away despite him repeatedly trying to step away from him to take the kick, so pushed him and he went straight over. Hard to fault Macca - Reason was just being a male private.

Ref wasn't taking any of it though. Credit to the ref - he seems to have been really solid throughout. Not like some of the ref's we've had this season!

Constable needs a heavy tackle from Pearson

Dirty cloggers! Strevens booked - foul on Dizza.

He just led with his elbow and clobbered Dis. If the Ref believes that's a foul it should be red, surely?!

You can hear all the moaning/comments/pressure on ref/kidology coming from the Eastleigh bench and players.

Their player just had his arms round Pearson then fell over and got a free kick?

Eastleigh are a bunch of cheats!

We're sat much too deep for my liking. We need to get out of there. It's inviting pressure.

Need to get into this a bit more.

McKeown flapping a bit under pressure :-(

Pearson winning header after header in the box

Let Eastleigh into this game. Come on town

Mckeown seems to found wanting when coming to punch or clear

We need to get on the ball and pass it., and we need to get Mackreth in the game.

We've played in Eastleighs hands in the last 20 but let's be honest we've never looked in trouble have we.

HT 1-0

Well taken goal from Arnold. Palmer should have made in 2-0. Eastleigh gradually got back into it and have caused a few hairy moments. Gowling and Pearson are doing well though

Thought we started brightly then tailed of.Football hasn't been the best though and thought Eastleigh came into in it more as the game wore on.Arnold best player for me for Town.

HT 1-0 Town
Great first goal, should've been two with Palmer.
We are sitting back too far.
However same again and we'll be good.
UTM

HT 1-0

Sums it up nicely for me.

1-0 is not enough. We had another 42 minutes to kill the game and even kill the tie. I just hope we don't pay for that.

FFS Town, great start, all over them and created 4 great opportunities in 10 minutes...since then virtually not had a kick in their half, no possession , sitting deeper and deeper....letting them come into it.  
Go and win the fking game tonight, 1-0 isnt comfortable for tonight or to bring back home, they were all over the place and we slow the game down, start dallying on taking throw ins etc.
Proper let them off the hook.

We can't let a side like Eastleigh wriggle their way into this with niggly fouls because they'll win that battle.

Our quick start shows they can't cope with a high line and directness, ironically. Then again, that shouldn't be a surprise given the amount of goals they've shipped this season. I don't think defence is something they work on all that much.

I hope we don't afford them time, or opportunities to back into our defenders when the ball is in the air. We should be pushing out, pinging it over their heads and getting their defenders to turn and face their own goal, threaten them with Arnold and Mackreth's pace to get in behind.

Too many long balls.  Eastleigh have a very deep back line.  The odd diagonal ain't a bad idea, but we are trying it too much, giving the ball away too cheaply.  Keep the ball on the deck and we can win this 2 or 3-0.  It should be at least 2-0.  If only it would be that easy.  Eastleigh are the second highest scorers in this league, so they are going to get chances: we need to keep it tight at the back and not give them anything to get excited about.

Done what we've done a few times away. Created loads of early chances and only took one of them. Now conceding too much ground and giving the ball away inviting pressure.

Agree, we never really looked in trouble but all they need to do is get a bit lucky. Hope to see us take far more control after the break. We haven't clicked yet.

Don't know why we've dropped back so far It's just causing problems for ourselves. Pitch very hard and bobbly making things difficult. Deffo penalty, what was Mecca thinking of? Lucky!

Hopefully Hurst with have Hajj a word at HT.

We need another goal, some sloppy passes by town.

Don't want to jinx it but we have closed Eastleigh down well so far this half when they've tried to tap it around the edge of our box

But as soon as we get it to half way we give it away again

Town look so casual it worries me

We are nowhere near good enough with the ball at the moment. We must raise our game or we will get punished.

Why are we letting such a excrement side like Eastleigh get back into this
We are giving the ball away so much
We had them after 20 mins
Come on Town!!

Arnold still the danger man for me

C,Mon Town we need a bit more quality.

This is poor Town. A goal coming

Lol,  and there it is!

FFS

rubbish

urine poor marking. Get a flipping grip town

Why do we do it? We seem to just gift teams chances, we make it so hard for ourselves.

That sodomist has only just come on as well.  Should have nailed these within the first 5 mins.  Now they've got the bit between their teeth.  

What a bloomin soft goal to concede. Pathetic.

There you go. You just knew it. We're not doing anything in this game and look far more likely to lose than win.

We might have scored an early goal but, for me, it's just the same as every other f***ing play off non performance.

you don't give away daft free kicks to a bunch of cloggers.

Hopefully that goal by Eastleigh will give us a kick up the bottom because we need something!

Palmer off - Hannah on

Pearson has been a rock tonight.

Looking startled.  :-/

Where's the energy gone?

I'm only repeating what I just tweeted, but those opening 10-15 mins should've given the players bags of confidence.

But since then we've played like we're bereft of confidence. It doesn't sound like they want to work hard to retain possession and do the things they did in the first half that hurt Eastleigh.

Hurst ha still never won a play off game , I don't really fancy us at Blundell park either 😕

Quoted from cmackenzie4

Pearson has been a rock tonight.

This .... epic performance

Need a change... Ollie off to give us a fresh pair of legs up top

I am very nervous now, if anybody looks like scoring its Eastleigh! :-/

We don't seem to have any wide men this half. Just seems to be a survival job

Yesssssssssssss. A real peach from Arnold

BEAUTIFUL..... Arnold!!!

No disrespect to Eastleigh but flipping get in!!!!!!

you fookin beauty.  Nathan Arnold has popped one in

you fookin beauty.  Nathan Arnold has popped one in

GET IN!"!!!

Arnold our best player tonight  :)

Oh my god , what a goal. Get the intercourse in

orgasmick

yessssssssss

Goal of the season. That was sublime.

WOW!  What a goal!!!

GTFI

I want Arnies babies

Now put this game to bed Town.  Possession.  Possession.  Take the energy and lift from Eastleigh

Now let's go on and get another, please don't sit back, Eastleigh are there for the taking.

What a finish!!!!!!

Seen Arnold twice now on the tv and always has impressed for me

LJL has put in a shift tonight.  Good assist for Arnold's second.

A 2 goal cushion we need.

That strike was better than sex!! flipping get in

Yeeeeessssssssssssssssssss
Come  on Town!!

Quoted from cjbill

What a finish!!!!!!

r
Great knock on from the shop

Sub: Clay for Brown and Pittman for Palmer

Was just going to say, get Palmer off, done nothing. Would have put Hannah on myself though.

This is the stage of the game where the players need to be committed to working harder than ever before. The opposition can't score if they can't get the ball.

Be strong. Keep moving. Work to find space, get the ball, pass it, move. Repeat.

No time to stand still and hope The Shop does all the running for you.

He had all the time in the world then

Bit of commotion on their bench. Come on town seize the initiative and get a two goal lead!

Respect Pearsons commitment. Love that type of player

Again, look where we are? Far, far too deep. Defending our 18 yard line for 15 minutes is not the way to see out this game. Come on Town, push out!

Another daft free kick giving away...

Another stupid free kick. Ffs

Town should have had this game sewn up ages ago, we just make it so hard for ourselves at times, I'm not that impressed with Eastleigh,  we are a lot better footballing side than them imo.

LJL could've put the game to bed.  A great save.

Great save by their keeper.

Superb save that!

Quoted from promotion plaice

love to hear  that  again from their fans, you dirty yorkshire blarstards, souththen cwounts

Dirty northern blastards

How many town?

5 mins stoppage time !!!!

Thats a shocking decision?! 5 flipping minutes

gives us time to score a couple....

Come on see this out

See it out, play the 2nd leg with confidence

No confidence with McKeown on crosses.

Arise Sir Shaun. And well played PH for getting Gowling on board at that late stage

Radio making something about McKeown kicking with his right foot.

He's right footed, isn't he? Or am I missing something?

Advantage Grimsby but we could have made it much more easier for ourselves, a good crowd needed Sunday to really get behind the team and book our place for Wembley, an early goal Sunday for town will settle a lot of nerves.

Well done Town.Half time advantage  

Well played town. Both of Arnolds goals were brilliant. Gonna be a tough game on Sunday, no doubt.

Phew. Good result, lucky at times but we got there. Half time

Now about that away goals rule.,....

Fvcking woeful with the ball, two wonder strikes out of very little to win the game tonight....we will need to be a damn sight better with the ball on Sunday to make sure of a Wembley visit.

Thought Pearson was immense tonight.

I was just thinking the other day that we don't score enough goals from distance. What do i know?

Beaten them three times now, so got to be fairly confident. They were woeful at BP (he says hopefully).

Well done lads and travelling fans.

UTM.

Were we lucky? On goal scoring chances not really. We didn't play well but isn't that the sign of a successful team - you win when you're not that good.

Attendance 3,251,  must have been 3 - 400 Town fans.

Great result, and should have had at least another goal on chances created, but generally a poor performance I thought. Gave the ball away cheaply, sat too deep, never managed a spell of pressure, didn't pass it well or get in behind them enough. Pearson superb, and all the defenders did well, but too many individuals did very little. Agree with Paul Hurst - pleased with the result, but we can be much better than that. A typical Town play off performance really, except this time the result went our way.

I didn't think they really troubled us and don't look all that dangerous.

OOOOOOOOHHHHH   Hill not happy with the ref !! haha

Playing the Fergie and Jose game now....publicly stating Eastleigh are not getting any decisions.....

Gary Hill is such a male masturbator hahaha

We could have 2 penalties in the final 10 mins

Hill on BT Sport. What a loser. What a vile, grotesque man. We need to turn these lot over at BP.

I thought the pressure was all on us?!

A win is a win.

So why am I feeling disappointed?

It could have been curtains for Eastleigh tonight and an easy ride for Town on Sunday, that's why.

Making hard work of getting a result against a lesser team. Wasted possession again. Failing to keep the ball. Humping the ball up from the back time after time. Having to do far more running about to get it back. Putting the defence under pressure.

We should be better than that. We need to show it on Sunday because they've nothing to lose now. They will be up for it and they are only one goal down when we should have been out of sight.

Hill is having a right moan about the referee....  whinge whinge whinge....

apparently they have always get bad officials against us.....   ;D

Watched it on BT and the story of Towns season in one game really. Should be 3 up at HT but have to settle for a narrow one goal advantage. So the opposition start 2nd half still in it. One thing that was noticeable throughout the season and especially tonight is how Town struggle when the game turns scrappy. We seem to have no tactic to turn to and ride it out. Inevitably we drop right off, invite them on and concede a scrappy goal.
I do hope we take it them on Sunday, their back line was for the taking.

Great result town, let's finish them off on Sunday!!!

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub

A win is a win.

Because you have seen it all season and we are not learning, score a goal, stop dead and give the opposition a chance.

Agree. But we could easily we walking away from this 1 down. We showed none of the class we have and still won - surely that bodes well.

Hill ...wow what a sore loser

Eastleigh's manager is a fukin tosspot, jeez we made hard work of that against a very average team, hopefully Sunday   wont be as nervy  ;)

The key thing is we don't have to chase the result on Sunday, we are a much better counter attacking team than we we are when we have to force the pace.

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby

Quoted from sutton mariner

Gary Hill is such a male masturbator hahaha

And so is the Eastleigh manager......Richard Hill    ;)

Arnold will deservedly take the plaudits for his two brilliant goals, but for me Pearson was MOM, he was immense.

Quoted from moosey_club

Because you have seen it all season and we are not learning, score a goal, stop dead and give the opposition a chance.

or because you and others on here are only happy when you are moaning yeah we could have had another goal but we did WIN the feckin match 2-1 miles away from home. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

  FFS This board sometimes, as Thatcher said once it was a victory "JUST REJOICE IN THAT GOOD NEWS,"

I wasent impressed with Eastleigh if I'm honest.

Pearson outstanding as were Arnold and Dis who carried Scott Brown, Clay must start on Sunday.

Why didn't BT Sport show Hill the elbow on Disley, or the trip on LJL or him being barged into as he hit that volley at the end?

Quoted from gytone

Elbow on Disley could easily have been a red - premeditated and totally cynical.

Yes, good questions.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

I wasent impressed with Eastleigh if I'm honest.

I've not been impressed with any of the play off teams to be brutally honest!

Pearson is at least a class above this league he is our most consistent and best player if we don't go up he won't be here much longer.

Eastleigh were poor
We let them play
We need to keep the ball down and pass and get in behind them in 2nd leg  and even more so if we can get through to Wembley against a solid BR
We can do this if we do this
We can play on the ground we can move we can worry teams
Please someone in the know pass this onto PH
Well done Town tonight
Come on Town!!

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

or because you and others on here are only happy when you are moaning yeah we could have had another goal but we did WIN the feckin match 2-1 miles away from home. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

  FFS This board sometimes, as Thatcher said once it was a victory "JUST REJOICE IN THAT GOOD NEWS,"

Nathan Arnold said it himself post match, we do things the hard way.....we only played anything like a half decent football team for ten minutes and relied on two wonder strikes out of pretty much nothing to win the game....i dont recall either winger putting a cross into the box all night, i dont recall any passage of play where we put 4/5 passes together, yes we won....an improvement over previous attempts so progress but relying on being able to defend high balls isnt my idea of a game plan or a sustainable way of winning....thats why i answered the posted question of .....why still feeling disappointed?

Don't understand how we headed it across our on goal for them to score but hey ho two terrific strikes from Arnold.

Thought 2-1 was fair we were the better side but not by a mile. We dominated the first 20 and last 20 of the match.

Thought Eastleigh were a bunch of cheats and was ii me or was the grass really long, pretty much killing any chance of proper football?

Thought Pearson, Disley and Arnold were immense,  Brown was average and I thought Macca wasn't his normal reassuring self.

Onwards and upwards - our first win in 5 attempts at non-league play off matches.

We did what we had to do,

WIN,

So lets pack the Park and really show them how we can play.

I like to hear the opposition manager whinging. Usually means they have lost.  :)

I read a comment on their forum about Saturday's game which was along the lines of 'grass was long today, must be preparing it to be long for the Grimsby game. Pretty telling.

Hill ...wow what a sore loser

Quoted from highcliff mariner

Hill ...wow what a sore loser

Thought his interview was embarrassing, particularly when you compare it to the carefree joker that he portrayed before the game. I thought the ref was ok, perhaps slightly favoured Eastleigh, I never expected a rant like he gave about the official's not doing their job. He made one telling comment about having to "earn" some decisions. Not sure why he completely lost it with the guy he subbed either. Hurst wins this round.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

I read a comment on their forum about Saturday's game which was along the lines of 'grass was long today, must be preparing it to be long for the Grimsby game. Pretty telling.

Says it all really. They knew the ball on the floor was to their disadvantage after we outplayed them twice during the season, so prepared the pitch for their aerial style of play. So that makes it an even better result, given we couldn't get the ball moving on the deck.

Hope we stuff 'em at BP.

Disappointed going on to Sunday with only a one goal advantage, should have been 3-0 up before they even threatened us.

Shaun Pearson outstanding, Disley had a great game too, not sure about Toto at right back though, he scares me at times.

Great goals by Arnold but I thought Mackreth was very poor and amazed that he lasted the full game. Brown wasn't that good either.

Quoted from moosey_club

Nathan Arnold said it himself post match, we do things the hard way.....we only played anything like a half decent football team for ten minutes and relied on two wonder strikes out of pretty much nothing to win the game....i dont recall either winger putting a cross into the box all night, i dont recall any passage of play where we put 4/5 passes together, yes we won....an improvement over previous attempts so progress but relying on being able to defend high balls isnt my idea of a game plan or a sustainable way of winning....thats why i answered the posted question of .....why still feeling disappointed?

This - Arnold scored 2 wonder goals (the 2nd one against the run of play) and Pearson was outstanding in a defensive performance (after the first 10 minutes), when really - Town should have been 3 or 4 goals up in the first 10 minutes and we're cruising the game. Why did Town surrender their obvious superiority to Eastleigh for vast amounts of this game? Well - it must have been Town's game plan. Town got away with the keeper's flapping and the right back's naivety in that position.

Town's game plan should have been to attack the opposition wholeheartedly, because they will hurt them - but to give this up after 10 minutes (after having the home team on the ropes) is ridiculous. This tie should have been over - but it isn't - and it is frustrating.

I'd have liked to have seen us play a lot better than that but can't complain too much as we got the victory. A couple of absolute belters from Arnold. Let's hope he's got a few more left in him this season!

Palmer, Mackreth and Brown were poor for me tonight and I'd personally expect to see Clay start on Sunday. Palmer might stay in for his height with their bombardment at set pieces, but I couldn't say he deserves his place on recent form and that really was a sitter missed early on tonight. Doubt that Chappel will replace Mackreth even though he had one of his worst games for some time for me.

I'm amazed that Hill went on about the referee like that - I thought he was pretty reasonable on the night and got an equal number of decisions wrong for either side! They might have had a penalty when McKeown stupidly shoved their player, but then LJL could have had two in a minute. The fact that the pundits/commentators didn't notice the blatant shove in the back for LJL's late chance despite watching several replays was pretty poor, as was allowing Hill to moan on and on without asking him why he was trying to get into an argument with his player on the bench!

I wonder if Hill's moaning was a bit of kidology, trying to influence the referee's decisions for the second leg?

Yeah and the way they referred to it made it evident it was pretty typical, run of the mill. We're hardly Arsenal are we?

Another interview (BBC). Apparently we, Bristol Rovers and Barnet are in the top 3 because of referees' decisions

Another Hill writes the Town team talk again!

What a plonker. "No pressure on us" and they start the game nervous as fcuk and their GK was jittery all the way through.  Then he says the top three teams in the division are there because of referees decisions!

Oh dear oh dear.

Yep, the top three finished where they did because of referee decisions. Nothing to do with scoring more goals, winning more goals and generally just being better...

Bitter words from a man who's team took 45 minutes to realise they were in a game...
