Solihull Moors & Halifax winning  :-/

Notts County losing  :)

Hate it when Humberside use the local commentators to save money. Not his fault but this guy obviously doesn’t know much about Town, with Andy Tillson alongside him who, while undoubtedly a nice chap, played for us about 35 years ago and hasn’t been back since!

It is very noticebale they can not instantly recognise the players, there is a lot of "Grimsby have the ball" "Grimsby have got it away" beforte they eventually tell us the players involved once they have worked it out

A 0-1 win will do at this stage of the season, doesn't need to be pretty.

Thought I wasn't gonna make this game - literally.  Yesterday rushed to hospital with chest pains.  They wouldn't let me in because I have COVID.  I came home crossed my fingers that I'd wake up in the morning.

Getting close by Clifton, goal coming soon for us.

Getting on top now but we need to put our chances away.

Scunny 2 down

C,Mon Town! We sound like we’re pressing and creating chances, a 1.0 win would do

Why do we miss so many chances, a lot of which are very close range?

Not sure if Andy Tillson has a glittering career in the media ahead of him

About as much charisma as a spam sandwich

We should score a goal IMO

I love spam sandwiches, so do the carp in my net

When are we going to start complaining about the lack of subs  ;D

Jones living up to a few comments from Daggers fans. Hollywood passes interspersed with losing the ball in risky areas.

Sounds like Mcatees just doing a bit too much

Changes needed now just to give it a spark before it's too late.

Pass the ball Mcatee ffs

I’m getting a tad concerned now 😬

You can hear the fans trying to motivate the team, there in great voice again.

Good effort from Harry

Wrexham 1-2 Eastleagh   8)

Wrexham losing

Could really do with a win today with other results going our way

Get Scannell on for JMD

Scannell for Cropper

Scannell on

Clifton to RB

GET SMITH ON!!

Is cropper struggling?

This sounds like the type of game that Max Wright coming on could have made a difference, ah well.

Boreham wood equalise, Need that goal town.

Quoted from 123614

GET SMITH ON!!

The centre half whos playing….?

Our problem this season was beating teams above us.

For once, we seemed to have very few problems beating teams below us.

So this isn't 'typical Town' this season at least. Previous seasons, yes!

No subs on?

Extremely poor after last week

6 mins...

6 mins injury time.
Come on town!

Six minutes added on, come on Town!

Looks like a draw, but we're still in the playoffs, so all's not lost. 6 mins of extra time

Quoted from supertown

It’s a poor draw

Yeah don’t disagree.

If we get a point , that’s 4 from chesterfield away and now these , most would have taken not getting beat last week and expected a win today …. be more good and bad results for us and others before the seasons out … just go with it and get behind the boys , see where we end up ..

I dont think anyones winning any accumalators on the national league today, cant beleive torquay beating notts 4-1

How dare you be rational

FT........0-0

And other results haven't gone too bad for us today as well.

Looking more like it's in our own hands (play-offs) even drawing at Weymouth and I would have taken that a few weeks ago.

Quoted from Dave Gilberts Left Peg

Yeah lets see how we get on against Stockport then

lets be honest, most people expected to lose at Chesterfield so onwards and upwards, massive game Friday

Gah, just another frustrating classic national league game, onto the next

Quoted from out of town

I’m sure the players will know that, bit of a missed opportunity to ensure it moves into our hands but there you go, results around us seemed to go ok.

Not surprised cant fault the endeavour but typical of our season, fantastic away win then fail at a team with the worst form in the league   :o

Frustrating but no reason to overreact

Usual idiots are out in force, funny i didnt see them post last week.

Still in our hands

And our last two results sum up perfectly the inconsistency of this team and this season and probably the main reason we could fall short by the end of it!

We’re a point further ahead of the chasing pack than we were before the game, with one less game to catch-up.

I’d file it under “missed opportunity” but also “not the end of the world”.

Fking frustrating given other results but a point more on the board.

Quoted from chipsandgravy

How can you be in a play off position and be called inconsistent?

Quoted from Wrights35

Yeah lets see how we get on against Stockport then

I see know reason why we can't beat them in front of a home full house, bring it on.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Because we rarely win 3 on the trot :-/

I've only seen one 'Hurst Out' post which might have been a urine take.

People genuinely get annoyed that some fans are disappointed about todays result. Not slating the players or managemnet or anything, but thats 2 points dropped in my opinion

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Please don't tell me I have to spell it out!

See Wrwxham come from behind and win in injury time again and thats why its between them and Stockport for the promotion place

Go look at twitter

We’re being called “ pathetic”

A home quarter looks a big ask now, but consolidating 7th, Daggers probably the biggest threat given the the abject form of BHW and Bromley.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Add to that spending a f**k load of money!

Exactly 2 of the biggest spenders top of the league and there unfortunately is the issue we have not having people willing to splash silly amounts on players (not that I expect them to) Money plus a decent manager speaks whatever league you are in.  :(

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

Weirdly i think 7th is a better place to finish than 6th this season, 6th place looks likely to get wrexham or stockport in the semis

Hurst out (at the end of the season)

Took him forever to get us out this division before and we are doing it all over again. He’s never taking us up this season as we are pretty shite and I have no faith he will any time soon. Someone else might but they have to be given the chance

Have you watched is play this season?..we've been far from shite, even today we played well but just couldn't break the deadlock, it happens, that's football for you!..
Given the sh!tshow Hurst took on he's built a bloody squad and with only minor tinkering I'd expect us to be fighting for top spot next season.

I’d be inclined to agree with this. I’d rather not have to play either of those on their home turf. Personally I feel 7th has our name written all over it.

I still maintain that would be a decent effort in our first season down here, particularly given the standard of the league this season. Anything beyond reaching the play-offs would be a huge bonus, obviously.

Given the sh!tshow Hurst took on he's built a bloody squad and with only minor tinkering I'd expect us to be fighting for top spot next season.

For complete balance, I think one day, when the time is right, there’s a debate to be had about whether Hurst should have kept us up, having inherited a team in free fall and disarray, but not yet in the relegation zone.

But anyone who thinks that finishing between 6th and 9th this season, given the massive rebuilding job which needed doing in the summer and through the season, is unacceptable or a sackable offence needs to give their head a wobble.

We’ve chucked handfuls of points away through a lack of firepower this season. God knows where we would have finished with a proven goal scorer even if we’d kept him on the bench for the requisite 70 minutes.

Alot of teams have gone down and not made the playoffs right away, and to do it with a squad built on the fly after last seasons disaster and subsequent clearout is really impressive. Only 3 of todays squad were here last season and 8 of the players have been signed during the season. As long as we stay on course then were at least 2 seasons ahead of last time we were down here. And to be fair with a squad like this from the start, this squad must be better than our play off semi final losing seasons surely?

Quoted from Poojah

We’re a point further ahead of the chasing pack than we were before the game, with one less game to catch-up.

I’d file it under “missed opportunity” but also “not the end of the world”.

True, but Dagenham gained 2 points on us and are as inconsistent as we are, so only time will tell if they catch us.

Our achilles heel this season has been struggling to beat the strugglers. Aldershot and Weymouth both on losing runs until they played us. Kings Lynn taking a point off us at BP when on a poor run themselves.

Well, we didn't lose at least, and Daggers apart, the other results were mostly favourable again.

It's getting to that time of year when you get strange results. County getting battered at Torquay for instance, putting them in striking distance of us now.

I'm still looking up, rather than down.

I'm not so sure about Wrexham - something not quite right about them with the goals they are leaking against poor teams. Their strike force, collectively, are clearly good at being "flat track bullies" against the weaker teams (wish we had one of those) in continually scoring more than they concede (providing the ref keeps playing long enough!), but I'd hope our defence could handle them - especially with the midfield we have now in front of them. Stockport at Edgely would be very tough I agree.

Would people take 4 points from the next two games?

I agree.

Last time we were down here, Hurst and Shouty took over from Woods mid season and we finished 11th. The following season, we also finished 11th and it wasn't until mid way through the third season that we worked our way into the play off spots, which we would mostly occupy until we got promoted.

To get us where we are right now, in a much tougher league than last time and starting with the terrible squad we had, is pretty good going in my view.

I’m afraid non league football doesn’t work like that

If you want consistency I would suggest supporting citeh or Liverpool, just enjoy the fact we are in the mix and it’s our local team

Ignore the crank 501 who says we have been ‘sh1t e’ this season and Hurst should go. Hold our nerve. This is a good team, make no mistake. Today is disappointing and similar results against equally poor opposition the same, but let’s be realistic. It happens and it happens at all levels. UTM

We are 7th in the conference lol
There have only ever been 2 seasons in our 140(?) year history where we have finished in a lower position in the pyramid
Yeah we are amazing. Hopefully it only takes 5 years this time for Hurst to take us up

What is this conference you speak of?

Last week we were world beaters. This week the opposite. How can you explain such a poor performance?
There was talk of play-offs all this week as if we were already there. It looks as they thought Weymouth would be easy meat and the lads believed their own publicity. Keep your traps shut and concentrate on getting resuits.

Nice to meet a few youngsters today who are today's generation of being in the top left of the Pontoon, brought me back to my memories 15 years ago being up their with Richard Broadley and his trumpet!
Hope they got back onto the supporters coach safe and sound, 1 of them was wasted but in good spirit 😂 UTM

Definitely took my views to the extreme earlier but I’m sick of my club being shite. First game was beating Burnley in the championship, been nothing but terrible since (barring Slade second season, still failed) and a large proportion was with Hurst in charge. Why would you want more of the same thing that disappointed you?

Sick of being rubbish. Easy for the older guys to be happy when they had years and years of being a good team. Younger guys don’t know any different.

There’s people born within a few years who got to sniff the cake and had it pulled away, never to experience it properly tasting that cake while Scunthorpe did, and do a lesser extent Lincoln. Both smaller clubs than ours.

Did you go to the play off final in 2016?

Given who we have played  these last two games  i think most would be happy with 4 points before the games . But would have thought the points would have come the other way round
