National League Fixtures - 25/8/18

[Chief Rocka]

Can't see it,4000 max.
Around 3500 Pools & whatever Chesterfield bring.
We should have put an offer on

Yup agree with this, especially since Boro aren't playing Monday, could've made it a tenner in for all adults and filled the stands up a bit more.

 

[Soup Ladle]

I may be wrong but can't recall any offers since RS took control (?)

It is a missed opportunity, Seaton's probably right, around 4000ish especially as Chesterfield say they'll only bring a few hundred (still probably be the highest away crowd at the Vic this season)

 

[Humpalumpa]

Given that's three losses on the bounce and the awful performance yesterday the MA bubble has well and truly burst.
Would be very surprised if over 500 made the trip Monday, heard only around 240 pre-sold online at HUFC before yesterdays game.
Given the good following so far, 850, 307 &1300+, Monday IMO will be low and will be a bit disappointing but why would you waste your hard earned to watch what was served up yesterday by CFC ?
The 3 away games so far have all been 'new' grounds to tick off.
A day in a local boozer seems much more appealing at the moment.

I have to agree. Will finish in the play offs again, but definitely not title contenders.

I'd consider you outsiders.

It'll probably be a Wrexham, Fylde & Salford battle royale though.

I'd agree with that. Hope you lot do it.

STILL IN!

Great result. If we back it up with a win tomorrow, we will be up and running.

Wasn’t there so no idea on the performance but a win, clean sheet and late, late winner is fantastic and much needed.

but 3 more points....
Braintree tried hard - but were pretty awful

That’s only 2 points.

Such a shame to lose those extra 2 points and in those circumstances as well. Felt for Summerfield as he was my MOTM, he just got the timing of his headed clearance all wrong though. Could have ended up anywhere, but it had to end up right in the very top corner..
We really should have been out of sight before Bromley’s first goal. No idea what it was given for, but if it was against Pearson, I can begin to understand it as he does get away with a lot.
Both of our goals were brilliant pieces of skill though, Fondop with the lob and Pyke with the sublime, I don’t know what you’d call it.. chop? Excellent play from JMD to set him up on his weaker side as well.
Strong penalty shouts around me as Fondop went to ground after knocking the ball past the keeper, looked like a dive to me, but I’m interested in seeing it again.
Final note, that no.18 Porter for Bromley is always entertaining to watch. Every time I’ve seen him, I don’t think he’s ever done anything in the game apart from berate and blame his teammates every 10 minutes. Looks like a delight to train with each day..

Porter has been brilliant for us, always puts in a shift, always looking to make something happen. He’s a bit of the class clown in the team, anything silly having the lads laughing expect to see him in the thick of it.

Wasn’t at the game, finally moved in the new house on Saturday so can’t really comment. Pleased with a point as couldn’t see us wining up there at the moment.

You had something better to do than go to football?! Quick, someone tell Fyldefan that we have a SAD BASTARD alert! Prepare to be BRUTALLY RINSED.

Ps. Porter is a shitcunt.

I didn't think their penalty was one initially but after watching our highlights Pearson did push one of their players in the box. A bit soft but a penalty nonetheless. That said Fondop got brought down by their keeper. He made the most of his fall which probably made the kind of the referee not to give it, in fact he didn't seem to give Mike anything all game.

We could have been out of sight and probably should have put the game beyond Bromley. But on balance they probably did deserve something. We weren't on our game.

 

[Luke Imp]

BT not do a highlight show for this round of fixtures? Or doubling it up after today's games?

No idea, they're weird. There's nothing on the planner on any of their channels for today apart from the live match. And then even when you record it off one channel you find later that they've switched channel numbers with it or sometimes just suddenly decide that they aren't showing it at all, about 5 seconds before it's due to come on.

 

[Luke Imp]

Yeah, it's a bit bizarre. I've just checked and it's tomorrow at 10.30pm, but only covering the Monday games.

You can catch up with the goal on the NL website as well, mind. Just scroll down to the relevant date - http://www.thenationalleague.org.uk/match-info/results

He pushes and grabs a lot, so I’m not surprised to hear that. Disappointing if it’s soft, but maybe this ref had done his homework or been told about Pearson pre-game.
The Fondop one looked he was running out of legs, knocked it past the keeper, then does the ‘drop of the legs’ action before a touch comes to initiate it. Seen them given, but I can always understand why a ref will think that looks like a dive. You’re right about him not giving Mike anything all game though.

They improved second half and got in our faces more and pressed quicker, but before the penalty I don’t remember too much danger around our box. We weren’t at our best, but if we took the chances that came our way, it would have been a good professional performance.
