I watched the stream until it gave up the ghost between the two penalties. We had a very sluggish start, Bromley were aggressive, in our faces and first to everything. Apart from a dangerous cross into the box that Langstaff couldn't get on the end of, we didn't threaten at all. From the angle I saw it from, the first penalty looked soft - one of those where the striker feels gentle contact and falls down in a heap, hopeful of the penalty. Admittedly it wasn't the best angle, and we couldn't have complained about being behind at half time. Credit to the boys how they came back in the second half and kept at it, it's just a shame we didn't do it for 90 minutes. Overall I feel happier after this weekend's matches. Last weekend we gave Wrexham a psychological boost just when they needed it by losing before they'd even kicked a ball. This time they've let us off the hook by dropping 2 points in injury time. It ain't over yet.

Sometimes it just isn't your day. Nine times out of ten we'd have won that by two clear goals. If we could only keep a clean sheet, the penalty wouldn't even have been necessary. And Effiong finishing like that is just sod's law. Not sure there's anything to say that hasn't been said a thousand times already tbh. We'd just better make sure we win again quickly. I heard that Baldwin was shown the red card after the final whistle - any truth in that? Will he be suspended?

To be honest, when we appointed him I thought it was a mistake and feared a lost season. The humble pie is Michelin star quality! His comments also show how much teamwork there is when it comes to managing the team - the days of the manager being this all-powerful figure are gone. And when you're doing that, you need a head coach who sees the rest of the coaching and recruitment team as valuable support, rather than a threat to his authority. LW seems to fit in very well here and is doing a cracking job on the pitch too!

I missed it (I'm ill and I couldn't stay awake for all of it), but wow, those goals look like Champions League highlights going by the quality of the finishing. Might be worth taking in a full match replay for this one. Like Barnet, this looked like a real banana skin, but we once again wiped the floor with them. This team is like a juggernaut - it's a pity we can't play Wrexham right now.

Not much to say after this one as I missed it, but it's not always easy to travel to a team who are fighting for their lives. Good result and another +3 on the goal difference. There was a brief moment of elation when Wrexham conceded an equaliser, but unfortunately it was only brief. But we can only continue doing our thing, winning and hoping that we're through in 13 games (or 15 at most).

I'm still buzzing after that second half! In the first half we showed a lot of slow, sloppy play and it could have gone very wrong for us. We were too reliant on lofted crosses up front and looked nervous at the back. Obviously their goal was a howler on our part, but their man showed quick thinking by taking it first time when many would have tried to run through. The second half was totally different, we were quick, incisive, looked like scoring with every attack and we just overwhelmed them. Jones is a quality signing and Vincent is as good as a new signing. Both were involved in the goals. Happy days when we can bring players like that off the bench! The icing on the cake was Wrexham finally dropping points. It feels like a small turning point.

Very gritty win, sheer character and determination got us through. This is about the hardest fixture you can have in this division, and if Chesterfield had played the whole match with the focus and discipline they showed after we scored our winner, they may well have got something from this game. Hopefully they can throw a spanner in the works against our friends from north Wales. Dobra is a cheat and should be ashamed of himself.

Welcome @callum2569! The stats speak a clear language, but the form book can get thrown away in a (kind of) derby in front of a full house. It'll be a big match atmosphere and the home side have a new striker from Dagenham who'll be keen to impress. But if you're good enough for promotion, you've got to overcome situations like that. This is a really big few days, with today's match and in-form Barnet visiting on Tuesday and Wrexham hosting Woking. There's every chance points will be dropped at the top of the table. Hopefully we'll get the job done and Wrexham will be the ones to slip up. COYP!

I'm feeling a bit less nervous about this one than I was last month due to Chesterfield's form, but they're still near the top for a reason and we have no room for error. It's a shame about Rodders, but this'll be the chance for someone else to come in, shine and cause the home team a different set of problems.

Halifax barely had a kick, very one-sided stuff. It was a bit frustrating we couldn't add to our one goal (some of the decision-making in the final third was a bit off at times), but the 3 points are the most important thing!

Following the failure of Chesterfield's crowdfunded pitch covers to keep the game on, this one's been rearranged for 11 February, which is at least a Saturday. Let us be grateful for small mercies.

Agree with @Dripsey3, this fixture is always a banana skin. I can't say much about the game as we were already 2-0 up and cruising when I started watching the stream. There was an anxious moment when Slocombe dwelled on the ball a little too long, and a nice opportunistic goal from Nemane, but apart from that I haven't got much to say. Good job, onto the next one!

We were originally playing Boreham Wood on Saturday, but since they've got a glamour tie in the FA Cup we're visiting Aldershot instead. So I decided to (oh ho!) call the shots on this one and edit it. Not a happy hunting ground for us, I remember Aldershot beating us to stay up one season. Hopefully we're made of sterner stuff this time, and it's crucial to get back to winning ways after needlessly dropping points at Oldham. A clear away win and a clean sheet would do us a world of good.

Very frustrating that we're still handing out presents now that Christmas is done. I think Slocombe was mainly at fault for the first goal, he rushed out to clear the danger after Oldham attempted a fast break, but instead of putting it out of play he scudded a fast pass to Bajrami(?), who was being closed down rapidly and was dispossessed before he knew what was happening. The penalty looked a really clumsy challenge, but it was hard to tell whether Cameron brought down his opposite number, or whether the Oldham man went down and dragged him down with him. Very annoying as the cross was overhit and there was no genuine danger. We were lucky not to lose at the death though. But in spite of all our possession, we never really had the game under control and Oldham worked hard for their point. It definitely feels like two points lost given the fact that we were leading twice.

I'll second that. Oldham are getting good crowds nowadays, and a loud and boisterous crowd could make this a different experience to most NL away days. All the same, we need to keep winning.

Great result, and good to see us putting the match to bed early on. Is there any news about Langstaff? I take it this game came a little too soon for him. We've got plenty of goals elsewhere though - Scott is also on target for 20 goals for the season...

According to the club, the injuries to Langstaff and Chicksen aren't serious and they'll be back in action sooner rather than later. A big relief. Thanks for nothing referee. As for the game, chances were few and far between in the first half despite dominating the possession, but the goal came just at the right time. Things opened up in the second half, and overall it was a comfortable win. Our next match is on Tuesday, with Wrexham playing their fixture on Wednesday. That gives us the chance to go seven points clear and pile the pressure on Wrexham.

We are staying up!

Top of the league, and one more win till we're safe from relegation but seriously, we could quite easily have ended up like Scunny after going down. They've got it all on to stay up.

That was a frustrating listen, and in hindsight the "twist" was so predictable it could've been on Eastenders. A record crowd after having scored for 39 consecutive home games? It's sod's law. It's annoying but we just have to pick up the winning habit again as soon as we can.

What an excellent result against what was the second best home team in the division! Also nice to stick it to some of the Wrexham fans who decided to gloat during their three days in first place

Not sure what to say really, sounded like another confident performance, excellent crowd, onto the next one! It'll be very difficult to shake Wrexham off and I personally doubt we'll hold top spot from now till the end of the season, but we are putting clear blue water between us and the rest. Most importantly of all: four more wins and we're safe from relegation

Fantastic result. Wealdstone away is exactly the kind of fixture where we've slipped up in seasons past, but we smashed it out of the park this time. The goals were top quality too. So Wrexham are still snapping at our heels, but we've already opened up an eight-point gap to third. All we have to do to go up is win every game

What a fantastic evening and result, I'm jealous of everyone who was there! And what a superb crowd for a night match too - you could tell clearly on the radio that it was absolutely buzzing, it sounded more like a cup game. Now we need to carry this on at Woking.

Seconded. Bromley have won four of their last five so will be a harder nut to crack, but if we want to be champions we need to win our home games regardless. I reckon we'll do it, but by a single goal.
