Great interview with Tony, his recollections were brilliant and the clips with some famous goals were a bonus.

Thoroughly enjoyed the interview and thanks again for recording it.

Great advert for the NL especially for any neutrals, great game of football that we deserved to win. Thought Elliott Osbourne was my MOM, but all played well. Bench was stronger and showed with Regan and Justin coming on. Thought as Parky said when Newbys effort was superbly blocked at the back post it may not be our day.. But we kept going.

Love Parkys interview lauding Tony and mentioning club volunteers whom are un well. Also honest and on point.

Lets hope the good times continue.

Doing a great job for Alty. Hoping they stay a good while longer and take us on our journey to the EFL.

Isn't there a time after which bookings drop off being counted? Something like a month?

Just grasping at straws here 😉

There is a point later in season where it moves to 10 yellow cards issued, so clock is always ticking. Isaac will be missed for Oldham game

Like others feel 2 points dropped, sloppy start and own goal. Grew into the game and deservedly got equaliser. Huffed and puffed against a spirited if limited KH side. Some composed finishing and we'd have won comfortably. Agree we need a stronger bench, which we would have if Linney and Kosylo were back and match fit. Dior was very isolated tonight, CCC as others say needs to get closer and work combinations with Dior or whomever is there. But there physical disruptive press prevented that and frustrated us somewhat. Still maybe a valuable point at end of season.

If the temporary lights are still at Hale Road/Delahey's Road junction as they were this morning, I would avoid. Added 10 minutes to my journey, as there running 4 way. Just a heads up

That's the team for me too but I think he'll start with Banks and give Donawa some minutes later on.

my thoughts as well.

All of Friday and Saturday morning looking dry at the moment, so the pitch should have some decent recovery time too.

Looks like I spoke far too soon on this absolutely tipping it down here at the moment, and rain expected tomorrow too.

This one could be in doubt now, surely...?
I'd hope our pitch is bulletproof now, we paid enough to make it so.

It's only bullet proof to a point, according to data where I live next to the ground, had 14mm of rain in 6 hours, thats a lot and 11mm due in next 24 hours, so backing off. As others say, see how it drains. P-P is a possibility I would imagine.

I don't think it's time to 'chuck the baby out with the bathwater' just yet - plus it's hardly like we have alternative options to come in:

Ross
Banks Cooper Baines E.Jones
Marriott(c) Osborne
Amaluzor Conn-Clarke Newby
Angus

As disappointing as Dior Angus was on Saturday, I don't think it's time to rotate him out just yet - but I suspect that's where others might disagree with me and bring Sithole in.

I would go with the above, don't think Sithole is fit eough to start based upon what Parky said yesterday on Pastries, though he is looking at bringing a player in or two. Kosylo looks 2 weeks away and Linney further still. Joey apparently not back till late Dec.

Like others say we weren't quite at it yesterday, especially second half. That said we had the better and more chances through the match. Just not clinical enough and lady luck deserted us as the save from the Dior shot was saved onto the cross bar. Newby also had a good chance spurned.

Need to dust ourselves down and move onto Dorking.
