We have to win every single home game between now and the end of the season.

I think promotion is looking unlikely in any form. We don't look like a team who believe it can be achieved 

Let's face it, we probably would have won that game with any other referee. Four strong penalty shouts, where we should have at least thad two of them given. But that said, we should have buried some of the chances we created Brindley missing practically an open goal was shocking, even though he was stretching for it.

It won't change the context of the season as far as top three is concerned, but could cost us a playoff place altogether.

Agree with @Fozzy. However, its just another game, where we concede another "stupid" goal. Sharpness in front of goal, Wootton had another of his "off" games. Ruben and Cal couldnt find the space for their shooting skills. Sam, really close to scoring with another 2 efforts. Is it just me, but when Kairo comes on, I have no confidence that he will score

Top spot is a big ask, just feels like we've been eight for an eternity now, luckily our game in hand is against Dover...

Yeah, I hate this whole thing with referees that once they’ve sent someone off they all of sudden become very lenient with that team. The one thing you could’ve guaranteed if one of those penalty shouts had been at our end Halifax would’ve got one.

I’d like to know the stats regarding us (or just the teams in the NL) and red cards, is it really a big advantage anymore? We usually do okay whenever we go down to 10! I remember the first game against Halifax in this league, Doyle got sent off but we scored and got a 1-0 win. Last night Solihull went down to 10 and they won. Woking also went down to 10, they went 1-0 down but got a goal back and drew...
