I've decided to stay up in Yorkshire for this one.
York will put out a stronger 11, they need the points.
How can we get tickets?
-
There for sale on there website I think, we will also probably have a stronger team with the return of Linney.
Be streaming as working till 6pm on Tuesday.
-
After yesterday I am going to make the effort and go straight from work on Tuesday. The players deserve to see and hear a decent away contingent cheering them on after their heroic efforts yesterday.
-
Can we do it again now on Tuesday?
Here's hoping!
Perhaps Linney will come as a surprise for them and he can do a 'Peersy' on them for us?!
-
Same team but with Linney in for Hugill.
The only player still giving me some cause for concern is Harry Perritt - I was delighted when he signed permanently, and I think he'll definitely come good - but still looks a little wobbly, hopefully he'll grow in confidence again like Eddy Jones has.
Full backs rarely get look ins for MOM awards - but I think Eddy would have been my vote yesterday.
-
We had them pinned back in their own half for most of the game. I don't see why we can't do that again even if we rotate the squad a bit. They only had two chances on goal in 90 minutes.
I thought Perritt was good. improved on last year definitely

He was named Man of the Match in the report in the NLP today.
-
Marriott was mom
-
Eddie Jones my POTS; as good as the attacking players have been; and storming as Marriot has been; EJ has performed beyond his abilities, and grown in every game - the only bright spark against SC**thorpe.
-
Grown beyond his abilities? Seriously?
-
Grown beyond his abilities? Seriously?
He was a solid full back, with very little ability going forward. Seems to come on leaps and bounds in his attacking play.
We're allowed to improve players...
-
For me it was Marriott, he was awesome.
Lundstram ran him close for me, and Jordan was immense.
Game of opinions, but those around me were buzzing with Isaac’s performance. We may be lucky to hold on to him in the summer …can only imagine he’ll be the next one on the radar of the sharks, if he isn’t already
-
Isaac is my favourite player , has been for a while . Like you say he is bound to be on the radar of others.

Eddy's a reasonably quiet lad and it's great to see him driving forward with a bit more confidence - 2 great assists and should have had a clean sheet too.
It can't have been easy to have Ryan Colclough moaning at him all the time - his departure might be the making of him!
We know what we're getting with Isaac and Josh - solid 8's/9's every week. If anyone ourperforms them on a weekly basis we know they'd be MOM.
-
See Eddie Jones made team of the week
-
Marriott was mom
But Eddy was the daddy! 😉

See Eddie Jones made team of the week
Eddie Jones, Calling Eddie Jones, Eddie, Eddie Jones, Play up now.
Get it learnt.

What team do we think will be out tonight, same as Saturday with Linney coming in up top?

I'd imagine so.
Would be good to see more of Aaron Bennett, although he does look unfit and perhaps we're keeping him under wraps to stand a chance of signing him permanently.
-
Hope we play our strongest eleven. We need as many points as possible.
I'm just hoping Parky was playing mind games in his post York interview when he said both sides would be probably rotate their squads for tonight's game.

Rob Esteva, said the same about rotation on Pastries in the morning yesterday. I fear there will be some rotation. Personally think as you we should play our strongest 11.
-
Team up on twitter.
Sinclair and Hulme on the bench and three centre backs.
Less confident than I was but, knowing Alty, I hope I'm mistaken.
-
Assum Lundstram will play rb. Not sure how hugill and Linney will be employed
-
Given that Baines, Jones and Ferguson are all on the pitch, I'm guessing it's got to be three centre halves and two wing backs (Eddy Jones & Josh Lundstram).
Three in central midfield, two up top. I suppose he might as well experiment and give York something else entirely to have a think about.
-
Absolutely fabulous result! What do I know?
Come on you Super Robins 👍 🇦🇹 🏆
-
Well, so much for their interim manager's masterplan of targeting the league fixture!
Mind you, the absence of John-Lewis from their attacking options was certainly a nice bonus.
Credit to Byrne for two fine saves during that second half.
If anything, their equaliser seemed to rouse us out of our relative slumbers. What a pity that Eddy Jones was unable to add a third goal with what was virtually the last kick of the game.
York City must really love playing us.
It's reminiscent of our wretched sequence of results against Northwich during the late 1970s/early 1980s!
-

Happy to endorse that.
-
We will not keep a clean sheet playing so deep.
York.probably deserved a point but we took our chances, yet again. Full credit to the 56 and the team.
Great stuff.
-
Great to win when 2nd best for 75 mins. Well done to Byrne
-
With other results going our way too, I think we can now look upward and maybe sneak a playoff spot,.. would need to win 7 of the last 9 games so pretty unlikely I know.
-
We’ll have played better then that & not won this season, but under the circumstances to follow up Saturday against a team who clearly targeted tonight with another win is superb. I thought we coasted through it for long periods against a limited York side & did what we had too.
In a strange way the most pleasing thing was that was what I would call a proper Conference display & what a Boreham Wood or a Bromley have done to us at Moss Lane a few times we did to York. Whether it was Byrne wasting time, Hugill winning soft free kicks or Lundstram sending their fans into an absolute fume by going down injured we just wound the clock down, did all the tricks & then won it on s set piece. Displays like tonight you see our maturity as a squad at this level growing.
-
To call that York side "limited" is practically a compliment. I thought we were below par, yet York were so desperately poor that I would have been bitterly disappointed not to have beaten them.
I've been very critical of Ollie Byrne's failure to command his box, but that was a vast improvement tonight.
-
Re: last two comments - I can't decide whether York were really poor (both fixtures) or whether we've just taken a leaf out of the Bromley/Borehamwood playbook - I suspect it's a bit of both, I do think the gamesmanship element has been the key difference between a Parky team and a Sinnott team - we were so soft back then.
Might not make for the best spectacle at times, but as long as we come home with the three points that's the main thing. As also previously commented, we do sit in too deep and invite sides on to us too much - and I do think the management team could do with making changes earlier on - and keep those changes positive too.
Full credit to Ollie Byrne - much maligned by some (myself included) but he's a good shot stopper and showed all his prowess last night. Eddy Jones is in really good form, but he knows he should have had two goals tonight! - really pleased for James Jones too, who also comes in for a bit of criticism at times.
It must have been the 92nd minute when I noticed the player pressing the furthest forward was the little fella wearing the number 4 shirt - he seems to have three lungs.
All in all, we're a work in progress and heading in the right direction. We're probably about as mid table as you can get, so at least that gives the management team a bit more licence to rotate around and try a few different things before next season - and keep everyone fresh for the trophy.
Hopefully Halifax will get sucked into the mix a little bit more before 1st April - York will definitely be feeling a bit anxious.
-
Agree with other comments, we have played far better than last night and lost, but we found the grit and determination to pull off the victory. Stream quality OK, commentary was poor. Rather have been there but not possible.
Ollie made some good saves, commanded his box better. Isaac put in a shift again, pleased Hugill got his goal and looked more settled than Saturday. J Jones really the new Peersy. Eddie should and could have had a brace. Great play. They reminded me of how we were at the beginning of the season, sort of Ok but fluffy. Hope they stay up as one of the more local teams.
Long trip to Eastleigh next. Then a few home games..
