That was very enjoyable. We need to keep our feet on the ground though. They were woeful.

Good for the goal difference though ans it may come down to that in the end.

When we move it about quickly we score goals. Much better than the slow paced matches we have seen recently.

Excellent effort tonight. Wilson was my MoM he will be crucial for the run in.

[MarpleAlty]

Very impressed with George Wilson - I did think he was being introduced to the fold too soon - and we can't ignore the fact that York would probably make most midfielders look like Modric in his prime - however the game could only have done wonders for him and a few other lads.

[Alty Dave]

We can only beat what is in front of you. we looked fresher so moved the ball more quickly. was impressed with Wilson, growing up quickly in this league. Amaluzor was hungry and good to see Eddie much improved. All in all much improved. There keeper had a mare, but if don't shoot you don't score.. Hopefully confidence is higher going into a tough game at Borehamwood on Saturday.

After Saturdays sub standard effort we were hoping for fireworks last night - and how ! Sparkling performance to rocket us back into the play off zone . The lads were fired up and bang on it from the off and lit the blue touchpaper early doors, fairly lighting up the murky skies with their crackling display .As six bangers exploded into the York net we were treated to a striking exhibition leaving us all glowing once more.  Simply spectacular.

A sparkling performance

[One Foot in the Grave]

It's been 42 years since we beat York City in the FA Cup to earn the right to one of our finest hours in the the next round, knocking out then top-flight Birmingham City. We've not come a long way since then in terms of our progress up the pyramid - indeed we could be argued to have dropped back just a touch - but back then beating the Minstermen was very much a "giant killing". Looking at the current state of affairs at York one rather has to feel sorry for them. Next season they look nailed on to be routinely playing the likes of Rushall Olympic and Radcliffe, and when you consider that they'll be sharing that "privilege" with other ex League clubs like Chester, Southport, Darlington, Boston and the reformed Hereford and Scarborough....yes, we HAVE progressed.

A couple of questions:

- how come Lewis Baines was the captain last night, instead of Elliott Osborne who had worn it previously?

- secondly, where were the fans? Such a shame so many stayed away and missed last night's goalfest.

Lewis is more vocal than most. Probably that’s the reason.

Reason for fall off of fans is likely down to the Woking effort.

Baines gets a good view of whats happening and shouts orders. Osborne gets on with the execution.

The fans were there. Come the Oldham game the Prawn sandwich brigade will turn up.

It was York in the 4th round after we beat Birmingham in the 3rd round. 2nd round was Blackpool wasn’t it?

Yes, 4th round was York away. Lost 2 or 3 nil I think?

Yes, 2-0.
We did beat York 42 years ago, though, but then we lost 6-1 to Burnley in the next round.

Totally agree… Baines reads the game well and is always talking. Puts himself on the line with his determination and calmness when needed. Future full captain???

As for the crowds, are you forgetting where we were just a few years ago??? Short memories

[Steve from Sale]

I think the 6-1 victory will help immensly to bring the crowds back, follow up with an away win or at least a draw with BoringWood and then crowds will be back for Gateshead. I just want us to be in any playoff position now, even if it has to be 7th place. We are capable of a decent final position. After some of our recent results, we have found we can lose fans as easy as we can gain them, the club are acting on it.
