Fair play to Oldham, they've taken it to their opponents, given them virtually nothing, got leads, carried on attacking and got the job done for a trip to Wembley.
Something we can't do. |

Especially under McNulty, I can see us in a doom loop now. Given the standard of the division I'd expect we're never going to be good enough to win it but should be good enough to be in the top 7.
The question then is can we string 3 results together against decent opposition and I just don't think we can and history says we can't. I suspect we'll be in a similar position in 365 days time. |

5000+ crowd. Bottled it again.
In front at home. Bottled it again.
Manager outwitted again.
Mitchell 0 balls held up again.
Looked like conceding from every ball that came into our box again.
The team that started the game is night and day from the team that finished it and that's part of the problem.
No excuses for being 3-1 up at home and losing in the manner we did. Its going to be a long stint in this division. The only way I can see us getting out is by winning it. |

Last time we advertised a game and people supported us we served up dross and were knocked out of a cup by a part time team. It was hardly advertisement for floating fans to come back and pay £20+ to watch it again.
I suspect most floating fans will be waiting to see if we make it to Wembley this time. |

Great result and we do go into the playoffs with some real momentum now. Whether we rest players again on Monday or keep the side going will be a tough one for Jim, I think.
On Mitchell, he will obviously be disappointed that Bird was brought in and put in front of him and he's been scoring and also Rodney overtaking him in the league goals tally with a much better goal to minute ratio. I'd say its up to him whether he wants to show fight to regain his form and place in the team. |

I was surprised when I saw this stat yesterday and how many goals he's actually scored because it felt like he'd barely scored any by Christmas.
One frustrating thing is it seems whenever Hendo or Bird are playing, Rodney seems to drift more central and looks like he wants to play football. Whenever Mitchell starts with him or comes on, it seems to push him out wide and he just doesn't look anywhere near as bothered. Had he been central all season he'd have nearly 30 goals imo. |

Another performance where we created next to nothing. Another away game where we've conceded late. Another game in hand lost.
0 away wins in 2025. Not good enough. But to be fair, the pitch was bad, Sutton have a bigger budget than us, the ref was awful and we have loads of injuries so it's alright. |

The fact we were 2 minutes away is a moot point. The game is played until the referee blows the final whistle, not 2 minutes before it. We weren't good enough to beat a part time side a division below us at home either in 90 minutes plus added time of normal play nor kicking the ball from 18 yards away.
Too many times we've let leads slip this season because we can't see games out. The buck for that stops with the manager. It wasn't an individual error today, its a systematic problem we have stemming from a manager who can't get us up for important games or games in front of a decent crowd. |

Going off recent attendances and then today's performance. We're nearer project 500 than project 5,000. |

The last time we took a 1-0 lead into the final 10 mins and held on was against Worthing in February. The time before that was Leamington in in December.
It's no coincidence or surprise that we've failed to do so again. |

Tactical masterclass by the manager again. How many times are we going to be in the lead and not see the game out.
No excuse for what we've seen today.
Fair play to Spennymoor. They came to do one thing. Did it and have their day at Wembley. |

Must be really encouraging for our players to know that they aren't real deals and are just compromises.
1) Pitches
2) Officials
3) Budgets
4) Schedule
All four seem to be ready made excuses after every game, one is just picked at random (other than budget for anyone who's above us in the league) of which every team in the league goes through at least 3 of them. There's never any responsibility taken. |

We've played the top 2 teams in the division, both at home recently and have been comprehensively battered by both. Taking our record to 4 losses in 4 games against them.
We're absolutely light years from being a football league team again. |

Embarrassing and completely unacceptable performance from everyone in this second half. I can't remember a worse 25 mins of football than this. |

I dont get why we have to start every home game so pedestrian. We've scored 7 goals in 19 games in the first half of our home games this season.
It's like we're not even bothered until the second half. |

He looked like he reached for his groin a couple of times as he was going off so might have tweaked something there.
I think the main differences today were Barlow looked like a game changer and drove us forward all the time. Rightly MoM imo. Rodney playing off a front man looked a completely different player, he looked interested and alert and ran at the defenders, something we haven't seen for a while. |

Their keeper repaid the favour to give us a goal, though between them Hendo and Mitchell tried their best to not score.
Another poor performance. 1 win in 6, 2 goals in 6. |
