It’s amazing play to a 20 goal a season striker’s strengths and you get your reward. Would like folks to get carried away though Doncaster still managed to get 2 and should have had more ( as should Notts in fairness).

now wait for the “give Chettle the job” brigade the same ones who were saying we need a proven manager !! ????

Well done though boys, a win is a win. ????????

I would have gone tonight but can’t make it.

Of course all the odds are against us and to be honest I am not fussed about cup competitions at our level. Yes, if we progress a bit we gain some much needed cash but along the way we also gain injuries, player fatigue and in the end probably a sound thrashing that helps no one.

I’ll be happy if we come out of it having played well with a respectable score line.

Dreading it !!

I can’t see me being confident in us winning a game again as long as we have Fitz in goal. He can’t command the area in any way. Can’t come/won’t come for a cross. Can’t take any ball above shoulder height. Only a matter of time before someone robs him whilst trying to dribble out of the 6 yard box. A total liability.

Depends how you view the season going. If we still have any aspirations of it being a successful season the next six games are all winnable and are indeed must wins for us to make any progress towards the playoffs.

If we are in a mind set of just staying in the league, or making mid table, settling for a draw and scraping the odd win might be acceptable. 

For me, we need to go for it. Give the fans something to cheer about. We need to get the strikers scoring regularly but I worry (although no one can question his heart & passion) Stead’s goal return is not good enough & Hemmings ain’t breaking any pots either.

I don’t think we are bad enough to go down but we certainly ain good enough to get to the playoffs, or anywhere near. We might beat teams in the bottom third but unless something drastic happens in the January window this season is a write off and we’ll be lucky to make mid table.

Another 4 - 0 pasting tonight I’m afraid. 

Towards the end of last season we were in free fall and people’s predictions kept saying we would win the next game, then the next until we eventually fell off the edge. 

People are still full of this blind faith that we will all of a sudden turn into a league 1 challenging outfit....... it ain’t gonna happen fellas.

Mr Hardy has got to dig deep to get us anywhere near successful.

Its another arseholing tomorrow I’m afraid.

I hope those picked to play the game are as embarrassed as I am !!

We’ve got to give the squad players a full game. Yes, we have some promising youngsters coming through but the squad needs to be kept ready for first team action. An injury or injuries could happen any time and to maintain our recent progress we need to keep players chomping at the bit to win a regular first team place.

Giving the Youngsters  a chance is all well & good if you’re flying high but we aren’t and we need players ready to step in and maintain our push up the table.

I dared to dream we could win again and the dream come true .... just hope we don’t lose momentum now. Fantastic 9 points!

Sad to say I know,  but I can’t get excited about women’s football. There’s no justification in it; just doesn’t do it for me.

Wow, what a game this is ! Not in terms of quality necessarily but in terms of what a win could mean; of course it isn’t make or break but as a springboard to a decent run.

as for the Rob Milsom situation; one man doesn’t make a team, but continuity is important when momentum is required and that’s the worry for me. Husin will probably be Harry’s choice, the other alternative is Vaughan of course but somehow I don’t fancy him, he’s not a ball winner any more than Husin is, so where do we go ? Alesandra dropping into midfield and Thomas on the wing ? Or, he change tack and simply bring in Kellett.

it will be interesting but we really need to win this game, I think we are at a crucial point which could be the catalyst for how well we continue to improve.

my predictions are very rarely accurate, my heart says we’ll win my head say something else. Fingers crossed for the former ????

I really don’t want to be negative but I can’t see us getting anything from Crawley. The display on Saturday was an improvement but some way off a dominant display.

I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think the come back is on yet.

Relief all round I think ! 

However, let’s not get carried away. There were elements of Saturday that left much to be desired. Although everyone is willing Fitz to regain the form of last season he is still way off the mark... a save that was going yards wide, giving Crew a corner and that ridiculous attempt at a punched clearance was frightening. The defence looked much more assured but we still look like we could concede at any moment.

By stating the above I am not feeling too negative, I hope & pray that we have turned the corner and we can now look forward to some decent results and a rapid climb to safety.

This is a heart V head call for me I’m afraid. Of course we are all desperate for that first win and improvements have definitely been made but I just can’t see us being blessed with another clean sheet. 

I am hoping upon hope that we can pull it off otherwise things begin to look very worrying.

We need more tracking back from the midfield when out of possession. Everyone we have played so far seem to have a packed box whenever we stage an attack.

My Lineup: Fitz / Tootle - Ward - Turley - Evina / Alessandra - Husin  - Milsom - Boldewjin / Stead - Hemmings

Toots or the Ox, with Turley, Ward & as a back four gives us something to be positive about. Just hope they are all fit enough to play.

Apparently Toots & Hall we’re back in training this week. Don’t suppose they will be fit for this game but they must start as soon as they are.

Allan Hardy has just said that 2 new players will be announced at 11:30 today (Friday) if they are the right positions (and fit to play) we’ll win 2 - 0

Yes, on the face of it we will get a sound thrashing tomorrow. But I take no pleasure in saying that.

how Wonderful would it be for us to get a positive result tomorrow and watch Kevin give the metaphorical two fingers to the idiots calling for his sacking after 4 games and before I get slated for saying 4 games, yes it is we have 8 new signings, it’s a new team, a new ethos & a new season.lets get real, get behind the team & get behind the manager.

Only those inside the dressing room know how things have gone since last week. All we can do is hope that areas have been addressed and we have the players fit enough to take up the challenge. 

I think we all know the potential of the team if and when things click into position but whether we are there yet, we won’t know until after the game. 

I am hoping for the best outcome which would be 3 points, if we get a performance and a draw I suppose it could be the beginning of better things to come but I wish with all my heart that we could get a good performance and 3 points for the sake of the players and especially Kevin Nolan who has been put through the mill recently because he tried to do his best for the club (and the supporters) by bringing in better players who are taking time to adjust.

1 - 1 ...... Dennis

Obviously it’s very unlikely we’ll get anything out of the game other than some fringe players gaining minutes or experience or both.

Although we need the cash, we are best out of the cups, they were a major distraction last season and we have enough injury problems without these type of games.

i just hope it’s not embarrassing.

Looks like Hall will be missing this week due to slight groin strain.

i just hope we play Dennis & Hemmings in a 4 4 2. I would like to see Kellett, I think he will be the surprise package this season.
