Season so far ....

Just wanted to put a few thoughts out there. The last three games have put us in a tough spot for a run in the playoffs.
Who know's how it will play out. But, it is the first week in April and we still have something to play for. As for the season so far, we have had some great runs, and seen some fantastic football, both as a team and from individual players. We have also seen some not-so-great performances as a team and from those same players. As a member of the old boy brigade who has seen the majority of home and away matches - this is the first year in quite a while where each player who is on the pitch, whether they are having a good game or bad, has put in an honest days effort. In my eyes there were no players out to just collect their petrol and beer money for the week. I believe that this season was a total team effort, that they cared about the team, each other, and the supporters.
Whether we make the playoff's or get promoted remains to be seen. But, if the attitude that seems to be inplace, carries over to next season, I will be a very happy supporter who is already looking forward to the 2014/15 season.
Five games to go - enjoy that we still have something to play for.......and be lucky you are not a Leeds fan.

Well Said! Loving this! a breath of fresh air to read.

Agree YY, but to get so close is damn frustrating and to play so well against the top teams makes it doubly frustrating - Gainsborough performance makes it triply frustrating and a no show tomorrow doesn't bear thinking about    
Time for a show of real bottle  
Moved back too optimistic   

Crucial match, if we win, back upto 6th on present latest scores today, beat Leamington next week, and How juicy will that tie with Guiseley be? No Retreat, No Surrender!

Sorry Craig. Retreat AND Surrender I'm afraid. Yesterday's performance (against a team fighting relegation) was shocking. Sometimes need to face the truth.

Yesterday, it looked as though we were fighting relegation and Gloucester had their sights on the playoffs. It was humiliating. Fair play on making the effort to get there Craig.

Yes, I agree with that. Heroic effort, the players owed you more.

I nearly asked Tad for my money back but out of respect, I didn't. He honestly looked shell shocked himself, and I actually felt for him. Irving left early, which I felt was a insult to the fans coming and spending nearly 100 quid in travelling to the ground.

My No Retreat No Surrender stand only until its impossible to reach the playoffs.

I would seriously consider Crook in goal for a couple of games too. And no more 3 man defence, very leaky! Heath looked shocking yesterday, and Bloomer was no support. We need Samuels, Killock, Merris and maybe rest Heath and consider Nelthorpe?
