Just Back  (merged)

Today’s result must go down as one ot the best ever just for sheer determination, but reflecting back on that 4-1 victory against Man City remember Bobby Mitchell who played no.10 who would never play the ball forward always across the pitch or even backwards suddenly found himself over the halfway line on his own and had nobody to pass to so had a shot on goal from about 35 yards into the top corner. After following town for a lot of years we have had some great results and they never leave your memory. Well done boys.

Having missed out on tickets I managed to blag player comps from a Wrexham player. Ended up sat right next to the tunnel across from the Town fans. What a game and big love to the Town fan with the ginger hair and beard who clocked me early doors and gave me an outlet to share the love! Unable to celebrate the goals and the win but was bursting inside.

We have got our club back. What a team and what job Hurst and the coaching/backroom staff have done. One more game.

McAtee's reaction to "You fish stinking twit!" cracks me up  . Probably heard a lot of insults in his time but that's a bit special.

That bloke needs to have a word with his lad shouting for offside for our winner…it was a throw…

Top guy - cool & controlled  under massive pressure..
Over 60 years following Town  -  never witnessed anything like that .
Ecstatic.

Christ, if we could defend set pieces as well as we attack from them, we'd have had a comfortable afternoon wouldn't we. Wrexham's goals coming from 2 corners, a long throw and a penalty.

Absolutely brilliant from the lads. Very strong performance again, much like Monday at Notts, but had the very serious threat from set pieces today that Notts didn't possess. Thought we played most of the football today, and if we had Wrexham's budget and spent the money they have on players and we played in the style they do, I'd be very disappointed. You'd expect such a well-financed team to be able to play some nice football but they are so one dimensional and reliant on set plays.

Fox and Holohan did well in midfield to the point where you wouldn't have thought they were outnumbered 2v3 in central midfield. Fox has become an absolute monster in these play off games.

Great impact from Mani - again, not just his goal but his general play was impressive. Pearson coming on (and them taking Palmer off) helped us see out extra time without conceding from any more set plays. And good to see Raikhy get on and have a few nice touches.

I get a real sense of a much stronger squad now. Being able to take off McAtee and Taylor and still score goals as we have done this week. Mani and Abrahams having positive impact (though the latter shouldve scored), JMD not used today, Raikhy back, Pearson playing a part and Cropper the reserve right back doing a decent job even if easily beaten for one of their goals.

Just a mention for Amos who got an assist today. After some poor delivery into the box on Monday night it was nice to see Waterfall's 1st goal come from Amos' cross.

Thought we deserved the win again. I really didn't expect the level of performance in these two games so far. We've been absolutely brilliant. Hope we can do it on the big stage now next week.

OH MY GAWWWWWD

Having watched a number of the “Under the Cosh” videos I’m not surprised by Parkinson’s outburst as ex-players who have been managed by him never have a good word to say about him as a manager or a person.

Pleased I traveled over from Lincoln to the Trawl to watch the match as great atmosphere in the pub and obviously a great game, great result and great finish pretty much the perfect match.

Parkinson displayed all the attributes of a man who knew there was only one result he needed today. Meanwhile, our bench was tranquil and calm at times.

Parkinson’s style of play are the reason they’ve failed to go up. They’ve got some excellent players but they play for set pieces and long throws, it’s boring and ironically, a long throw has seen them have to play another season in the conference.

Neither side can be pleased with their defending today but, again, I’m not a manager but surely Wrexham had our game watched and literally allowed themselves to concede 3 woeful goals, goals that were almost a carbon copy of Mondays.

I’m still in shock to be honest and if you’d written down how these games have gone as some sort of narrative you’d have been laughed at. There were times today that I felt sick, during extra time I didn’t feel well at all. I was convinced it was going to pens and I’d convinced myself we’d lose them.

We really don’t die though. We never give up and we’ve got a squad that trust each other, works hard for each other and will stick their neck on the line. They’ve connected with the fans and it’s impossible not to appreciate them. This week has proven that, two games gone to extra time and both games we’ve been the dominant side and seen players literally never stop…Fox, I’m looking at you. Absolute machine…
