We should be financially welcoming any team that's going to fill our away end' especially if Exeter and Bristol Rovers go up.
Sadly it's even beginning to look like we going to have to suffer Salford and possibly even Mansfield again.

Yes at those 3 home matches we attracted nearly 2000 potentially new supporters. Will they be back? I doubt it.

About 2000 might be all we manage in total Fri.

We had majority of game but not enough decent chances created.

We beat Sutton at RP

Oh yes. My mistake. We won it in injury time. They had been 2-0 up early on in that one.

They are still very limited in my opinion.

Absolutely agree. On todays performance I amazed that they are where they are in the league.

Can't fault the players efforts and positive display.

Spot on, it’s a pity the football gods ignore all that though and decide the victors by goals scored. We just can’t put teams to the sword . We need a gang of new forwards with Telford possibly the only viable retention. It’ll be interesting and absolutely critical who we recruit in the summer. Tbh Rowberry‘s selections haven’t cut it on the run in though he’s been unlucky with injuries at the wrong end of the season. It would have been interesting when our midfield was so depleted if he’d given Livermore a chance. We also needed more defenders to give Clarke and Demetriou the occasional rest, they’ve been really good but we’ve worked them to death this year, Mickey has looked jaded in the last few games though as always imo our best defender.

The Sutton commentators said it was smash and grab and they were right but,our nearest goal chance was from their defender.Token gesture from JR to give Kev a couple of minutes.Plenty of effort and we looked decent going forward but,the final ball was mostly lacking,that poor cross from Collins near the end was an example.

89th min to sun Kev way too late.

Well, if we want to play successfully at a higher level we must be able to work out how to beat a very limited side like Sutton. We basically had one attacking player on the pitch, and how the other one stayed on for 88 minutes I will never know.

Street offers nothing. I thought he’d have done well with us but he’s been poor. The most he ran today was when he was subbed !
I’d much rather we played Ellison.

That was awful to watch let's be fair we were the better of two poor teams that chose not to want to play football. Second half it was like watching the old Wimbledon playing for position to take long throws. We start with Dolan and day decided to kick long most of the afternoon. One win in six that's why we are out of play offs not because we were unlucky today .

Street constantly positions himself the wrong side of his defender then has to have a wrestling match to try to get the right side. He starts in the wrong position, so the defender starts with an advantage.

I am disappointed as he started well, remember him beating a couple of players in his first game and almost beat the keeper from 20 yards.
Missed the target from 2 sitters in last games so would have to agree with you. CBR faded over the season as well.

He wouldn’t do that as we are technically still in it.The Rochdale game would be the game to have a half dozen in the squad.Leave out all the loan players and the out of contract players who aren’t getting a new contract.He probably wouldn’t do it though but he should.

They’ll spend big in the summer, can see them getting promoted next season too.
