It was not a near PP master class it was a fkn manager who picked the wrong team and dissed the competition,Kiddy, and also our fans who went.

We could have won that by half time , Kiddy were that poor, then you make the changes…
Absolutely fuming.

Had CCC put that pen away we’d have been talking about how brilliant it was to have rested legs and gone through to the next round. It was enough to get through but if you don’t take your chances when they’re gifted to you that can happen. Chesterfield rested their entire squad yesterday for our match Tuesday and we have 7-8 games this month. I think resting some players was always going to happen.

Thankfully looks like it's complete rubbish.

It's tough to really know what to make of that match. All being said and done it was a very good point away from home against a playoff rival. We fought valiantly to keep it at 0-0 when we went down to 10 and that should be commended. However, as some have alluded to already, I think that Kosylo being on the pitch after half time was a mistake, and when he received his marching orders I doubt anybody was surprised in the slightest at what must have been the most predictable sending off of the season.

We're then (again) at a disadvantage in a game that was entirely winnable judging by the first half showing. It looked like 2 sides lacking in a bit of composure and quality, perhaps due in part to the state of the pitch, and nobody seemed quite able to get the ball under control and build an attack that wasn't disjointed or the result of a defensive mistake.

Ethan Ross was superb and kept us in it despite not being 100% fit. I thought Linney looked sharp at times, he held the ball up well and his decision making was generally very good overall. When CCC was given the ball in a central area he looked excellent, and always looked to drive us forward and create an attack. Unfortunately, the way we played today seemed to favour a less elegant way of attacking, perhaps due to the condition of the central areas of the pitch, so he was never really able to get on the ball that often and faded out of the game. Marriott was very good as usual (another completely dependable player for us at the moment dragging us through theses difficult games) and I liked the look of Wilson when he came on. Worked hard and managed to break up the play where others seemed unable.

The problem is that's 2 games now where we've received 4 stupid bookings resulting in red cards, so that must be addressed. Another issue is that Halifax played ok but were there for the taking. Firstly, there was no Alli. If he doesn't play they struggle to create and that showed. Secondly when we went down to 10 it seemed to throw their game plan almost like they didn't really know what to do with the extra man, so whilst we've done well under the circumstances I don't think Halifax took full advantage either. We were a bit lucky that they had no proper threat up front essentially.

I'd happily take a hard fought draw in this one. Southend are a very tidy side on a great run themselves and would be above us without their points deduction. I think a good performance in a competitive match wouldn't be the worst outcome here. Southend have also had a 2 week break so it's all even on that front.

Doubt they'd have that for a qualifying round? My guess is it'll be one game picked from the whole draw, normally lowest left in the competition.

Perhaps Fylde V Leek or more likely Chesterfield V Kettering. They may even go down the route of showing Southend after what's been happening there. Our game will be well down the pecking order.

Good result for us there considering we have a few missing and never get much at Wealdstone so to pick up a point is very decent. Clean sheet as well making it all the more valuable in my eyes.
Sure CCC will come good, he's looked the part in flashes this season. No doubt he'll get into his stride soon enough

I’m surprised anyone would want to move to one of those soulless out of town stadiums that are popping up. York, Colchester, Fylde. Shrewsbury, Oxford. They’re all the same and seem incredibly bleak, lack character and are universally disliked by football fans.

Moss Lane needs work but I’d much rather we spent a certain amount on upgrading the ground rather than considering a move to one of these places. We can spend a relatively small amount on immeasurably improving the pop side, you could improve the away end, the main stand can be redeveloped. Even the Golf Road can be redesigned and changed.

There’s lots that can be done here very effectively before considering a move to a building site just off the M56
