Alty 7/5
Draw 12/5
York 8/5
A game we really have to avoid defeat in, a win would probably put to an end any thoughts of york gate crashing the playoffs. They seem rejuvenated under Steve Watson and have won four on the spin. However a decent big pitch at bootham
Crescent will suit us and if we play to our best we can come away with three points. Another big chance to put daylight between ourselves and the chasing pack as was Tuesday. Tough game for Kidderminster at chorley but you’d expect Chester to beat leamington at home
-
Another massive game. They won't be as shambolic as they were at ML.
Only decision is Hulme or Piggott. Rightly or wrongly I think Hulme will get the nod.
York 0-1 Alty. Johnston
-
Tough-but they’ll all be like that now as we approach the business end. York do seem to have appointed some duffers in the recent past but they’ve clearly got the one right.
Looking forward to a very decent match and a full day on the ales round a glorious city. To think we were playing Rushall Olympic this time last year. Guessing we’ll take somewhere approaching 200-this & Chester are the best days out for me.
-
Won five of their last six, but apart from Kidderminster their victims have been at the wrong end of the table. Won't be easy, but we can do it.
-
Not been to York's ground will have an early start as I'm going on the coach....
Another game we need to win, hopefully the lads will be firing from the off
York 1-2 Alty. Jordon and Josh..

You mean; A Shambles!

Hulme looked rusty and didn't do anything when he came but I would start him because we need him match fit for the run in. I rate Piggott but we need Hulme up to speed.
I would also start Dens and White at full back. Hampson isn't fully fit, whether it is hand or the knock on Tuesday.
We need to utilise Dolan more, just a gut feeling he will be a good player and offer us something different.
-
I'm not Jordan's biggest fan after the number of suspensions he's had but he didn't get much service on Tuesday. You can't deliver in a vaccuum.

Just read the match preview on main site.
Are they really the admission prices?

Thankfully not!

Still not the cheapest, but a lot better.
Cheers

Hulme start, sass on bench and no mention of Piggott
-
Amazing lads. Quality result.
We are class away.
Sounded a mint goal.
-
Agreed, what a fabulous result, where was Piggott. Sounded a great goal from Josh too.
-
Goal of the season - no arguments. We murdered them second half. If Jon Parkin was the answer, what on Earth was the question ?
-
Was Hannigan mom?

Defo sounded it.

https://m.facebook.com/groups/1911601479064315?view=permalink&id=2841097372781383 5 mins 30 secs. Wow. That's I why I rate him so highly, technically very good.
-
Very fair comment from the York fan too.
-
I taught him that :) :) :) :) ;) ;) ;) ;)
-
Great result
Assume Jones was swapped for the new lad from Crewe to take care of Parkin and he was not injured - he was a big lad and looked comfortable on his debut
Fantastic goal from Hancock
-
Piggott has had back spasms, and that is a correct interpretation of the Sass-Davies for Jones substitution.
-
That was a mature, hard working and deserved 3 points. For me, that was the result that barring a big cock up from here should secure us a play off spot.
Standouts all over the pitch but Hancocks goal was utter class (and I’ve now seen it on video too-no fluke), Ceesay really worried them all day and should have scored and Hulme gave a classic centre forwards display. Defensively solid, the new lad from Crewe was a very safe bet when he came on. A word again for TT, great block when York clean through and looked nailed on to take the lead first half. He has responded very well to Drench coming in.
250 away fans and plenty I’ve seen in the pubs of York both before and after. The club is moving forward on and off the pitch.
-
Hannigan had one of his best games. Jordan was great at holding up despite all the attention of the York players.
What a dump the away end was. I will never feel embarassed about the Chequers end again
-
Well after a long old day 12 hrs from leaving Bayston hill to getting back...
A great day in Yaaarkshire. What a good win against a decent team who were in a run of decent form...
Yet again the officials did their level best to f**k the game up in their inevitable way, especially the lino running the line by the away support.
He found it amusing that he was being berated for his poor efforts.
As for Parkin, I would be too ashamed to turn out in a club shirt in the state of him. He is an embarrassment to football. Anybody with an ounce of pride would ensure that they would at least look like a player, rather than the state of him.. I reckon his weekly food/drink intake could feed a third world country for a bloody month.
Anyway back to the game . A good performance was capped off by a wordly goal from Josh. Another great 3 pts and a double over one of the better teams.
TT, Hannigan and JH were my standouts today.
I thought the subs were bang on and timed to perfection by PP/NS to neutralise the effects of the York subs (including lard arse)
Brackley next week, let's get at them from the off and carry on the fight.
Cmon Alty.

You could see their confidence in the first half given the run they were on, but we absorbed everything well without creating too much ourselves. Both sides scrapped for control and make no mistake, we were kept in the game by Tony Thompson who produced an excellent piece of goalkeeping when they broke through. Three clean sheets in four now, great to see.
The game changed when they brought Parkin on and went two up top. It gave us a lot more space in midfield and from 60' onwards Moult & Williams controlled the game. Only one side in it and the goal was, as you've seen, ridiculous. Great change bringing the new lad on to battle Parkin, who needs to pack it in at the end of the season. Embarrassing.
MOTM was White for me.
-
A reasonable assessment by Watson I thought.....apart from the bit where he says Jon Parkin is unfairly penalised by referees..."just moving players out of the way"....fine if using his bulk, but he used two hands in the back on several occasions
Hannigan my MoM

Ha... You would need a fork lift truck to move him anywhere.

Parkin reminded me of Mr.Blobby to be honest. I used to rate him, but he's become a caricature of himself.
-
I thought we celebrated diversity? Parkin is a big lad and a bit older but blimey - why give him all this grief? Not like we’ve had the odd big lad up front in the past?
Anyway - great day out, great ground, liked the home fans, and an absolutely fantastic goal. Best of the season.
Up the robins!
-
There’s being a big lad and then there’s taking the mick out of the people who pay your wages. In 30 years of watching us I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more clearly out of shape footballer. I think York are full time too, so god knows what he does in training. The comments he got from the away corner were mostly light hearted, certainly heard much worse in the past.

Are you calling Kyle Perry odd ?
-
I remember the last time we played Gloucester they had a substitute who was equally well built. Can't remember his name, his touch was still there but his athleticism was long gone.

Dont forget the man the myth the legend Ian Tunnicliffe .

To return to Parkin for a moment, when I saw the number on his shirt (19) I did wonder whether it represented his place in York's pecking order, his weight in stones or the number of pies he'd had for lunch … Seriously, I was impressed by the management's immediate move to replace Jones with Sass-Davies and the way he then coped with the Incredible Bulk. What didn't impress me was the referee taking a good ten minutes to realise that Parkin's only response to not getting things his own way was persistent blatant fouling. At least when he did twig what the great lump was doing he penalized him consistently.
