I thought first half we were the better side and had some good passages where we were starting to ask a few questions of Chorley.

Second half was a bit of a non-event. Chorley were obviously happy to come here for a point, where as we set up just not to lose. We only made one sub and left Margetts on the bench when we could've done with throwing him up there alongside Gold for 10 minutes to try and find something. What has happened to Hughes and McCammon? Two players who have been good for us this season and have the ability to change a game and they weren't even on the bench? Unless I've missed something like they're injured in which case that's fair enough but I've not seen or heard anything 

Can't really afford any slip ups now, which is going to be a tough ask considering we now have home matches against Chorley, Scunthorpe and Chester. You'd like to think we at least get two more wins from Farsley and Needham Market but we never seem to do things the easy way against those down the bottom.

The town needs to get behind the boys now, starting on Saturday against Chorley 

That’s a decent point.  Now we need to follow it up with 3 more of them at home to Spennymoor on Saturday.

788 against top of the table with 3 quid money off deal must be concerning for the overseas investor.

As I said in my thread, it wasn't as well advertised compared to the Oxford City match. Disappointing really but considering Champions League was on last night it probably meant a few not turning up like they usually do

Dreadful first half, second half was better albeit with AL making some rather odd subs at the break.

I've resigned myself to the fact that we're not making the play-offs now. Shame really after such a promising start. Still, I'll happily take this than being at the wrong end of the table.

Let's just enjoy what we can of the rest of the season and where we end up is where we end up - not going down, almost definitely not going up 

Glad we got that over the line last night. First half we looked OK but second half we made life difficult for ourselves at times.

Great turnout last night as well, though I thought there was more than 1,600 in attendance last night. It does make one wonder if there will be discussions between Cleeve and the commercial guy about admission prices. Not saying that we should put it down to a fiver or even a tenner, but maybe if we really want to get 'bums on seats' we probably need to be charging £15-17 for adults, it's certainly a lot more attractive than £19 at this level (or £22 to sit in the stands!!)

Anyway, another win and back in the play-off places for now. Onto Darlington on Saturday 

After a superb win away to our nemesis curson Ashton, did anyone notice the post match interview reaction......
 Negative doesn't come close🤔

I think he's still baffled by the reaction after the Radcliffe match but to me it seems like he has spoken to supporters who have given him a rather negative opinion of the state of the club off the pitch, something of course he can't control, but nevertheless hasn't been around long enough to maybe understand people's thoughts. I don't know, I'm just guessing 

Saturday was a fantastic result and the boys played well. Not too many chances as both sides were pretty resolute and tough to break down so it was always going to be a case of who takes that golden opportunity and fortunately we took ours when it came. Much needed 3 points after recent results and hopefully Saturday we can pick up another 3 points

I don't think the boos on Saturday were necessarily aimed at the players but more towards the management. 2 points out of 9 against two teams in the relegation zone and another against an average mid table side in this league is simply not good enough and the way that AL sets us up to play is not a style of football that neither suits the players we've got nor will it see us even come close to winning the play-offs. AL is starting to make a number of comments about the supporters at the minute and about people supporting the club and I'm afraid this will only put more people off from coming. Further, I think supporters have a right to voice their grievances, especially since we're paying £19 or more to watch what we're being served up at the minute.

Having said all that, Saturday just felt really flat all around the ground which was reflected in the dismal crowd that turned up. And I don't think it's to do with the way we're playing. I, like many who support this club (or the ones I talk to anyway) feel so detached from the football club. The gap between supporters and the football club is probably the widest it has been. No one knows what direction the club is heading, no one knows what's going on with Joe from Singapore and what ultimately his and Bal's vision is for the club. The atmosphere around the ground before a match just feels like 800 odd people turning up out of habit as loyal paying customers to something they've been turning up and paying for for however long they've been doing it.

I don't want to make this into a long essay about the state of the club as many on here know what the problems are, but unless something fundamental changes soon (Cleeve handing the keys over to Joe, Bal or someone else would be my preferred option) then I really do fear for the future of this football club. I look at other clubs in our league, above and one below and sometimes I say to myself "I wish we could be like that", but I'm afraid it won't happen so long as Cleeve stays at this club.

Anyway, onto Curzon and safe trip for anyone else who is making the journey. Can't say I'm looking forward to it
