Full credit to Sutton for making such a good fight of it from a position where they looked long gone at one stage. After four miserable seasons I feel more confident in Cowley to have us back in the other half of the table next season, so hopefully we'll have a good clearout in the summer and...
I thought we were probably just about value for all three points today, but letting in an injury time goal to drop points sums up the season so might as well finish on that note.
They did, yeah. If I remember rightly Preston came to us that day unbeaten in about 27 games or something ridiculous, and just needing a result to go up. Whilst as well as winning our game, we also still needed about three other results to go in our favour so would have been very long odds on us...
That went about as badly as it could have tonight, utterly awful in every way. Doncaster weren't even trying to score any more goals when it was 2-1 and we still managed to blow the goal difference a bit further! Horrendous evening.
This decision is based on the club failing to meet the 10-year security of tenure at their stadium, required for new teams applying to enter the EFL which was required by 1 March 2024.
The club requested a 10-year security of tenure from Gateshead Council. This was refused. The National League...
All I can think of in our defence is that the number of games in recent weeks has caught up with us and today may have been one too far. Lots of injuries, bench down to the bare bones and the players out there running on empty.
Certainly not a dead rubber for us!
That sounded absolutely abysmal today and an attack vs defence training exercise. So relieved at that late equaliser from Crawley, big up Klaidi Lolos.
Perhaps not full on 'basket case', but Morecambe? Can't say I'm that knowledgeable about their situation, but the commentary around their deduction seemed to be that they're not in a great way at the moment?
I agree - I said on here after Tuesday night that I've really enjoyed watching us again since they took over. I think they have a negative reputation from previous jobs, but for 90% of their tenure so far I haven't really seen that at all. We did a lot of the shithousery in the first half at...
That was probably the poorest I think we've been since the Cowleys came in, but who cares at this time as the result is all that matters. That second half in particular was utterly abysmal, but we managed to slog it out.
I know they have a bad rep for some of the anti-football stuff but, in the...
We press forward enough and cause problems, but by lack of goal threat I just mean we have John Akinde and Tom Hopper up front. Hopper has scored twice in 53 games for us and as good as Akinde is at what he does, he isn't a goalscorer. The only other options are Samson Tovide who is more...
If Luton hadn't recalled Taylor in January then we'd be well clear by now - as competitive as we've been since January, we've had next to no goal threat at all. We would definitely have won a few more of the 1-1 draws we've become so fond of. In the first half of the season we had the worst...
I really can't believe we've taken no points from this weekend's two games, but I'm thinking relegation has our name all over it now. Utterly doomed. Six penalties taken this season, six missed. We have no goalscorer, no leader and a goalkeeper who keeps throwing one in every other week.
If...
