And we're down to 7th.
We really need to win on Saturday don't we?

We definitely need to beat Gateshead and Oldham after tonight’s result.

[Alty Bri]

We'll be okay if we beat Gateshead.

Wonder if Halifax would struggle with their issues with Calderdale on the ground ownership

Avoiding defeat is the first priority - I think we'll be OK as long as we do that.

I think the time has finally arrived when we show our true pedigree. The team we fielded at Boreham Wood plus Linney back is solid play off material.
Six points from Gateshead and Oldham is not fanciful and that must be the teams mindset.
Any contenders at this late stage of the campaign who grasp the games by the throat will reap the benefits.
It's not just the six points we get. We give two competitors setbacks too and give a clear signal of intent to one and all.
We can do this. We're good enough.

To be honest, if we do finish in the playoff spots at the end of the season, I quite fancy us to do well.

Phil and most of the team have a fair bit of experience in the playoffs but we just have to finish in the top 7, That will be harder than dealing with the playoff matches I think.

[Alty Bri]

I agree Steve. Reaching the play offs will be more difficult than actually doing well in them.

The logic is, most of us thought the play offs were guaranteed until quite recently so there's real pressure to get there. I don't think many of us expect to win the play offs, so the pressure will be off if we are in them.

Beat Gateshead and we can begin to dream.

Beat Gateshead and we can begin to dream.

I've been dreaming for about 59 years now! 😂😂

[MarpleAlty]

I wonder how Banks and Cooper are getting on...

You know we've turned into Big Time Charlies when we're pulling our players out of international duty!

If Banks is available and Cooper isn't, I think I'd rather Banks played at centre back than have two lefties which doesn't sit right with me (although I know that's how we finished the York game).

Plus I've seen us at Wembley three times and I'd like to make it four! 😉

[MarpleAlty]

A good contest between two decent sides in challenging conditions, which they ultimately handled better in the end.

They weren't afraid to go Route One when they needed to go and win the game.

We don't have enough ability to win ugly and need to wise up a bit.

Linney should have been on when we had the wind - and putting your best player as far away from the action as possible is insane.

I got the message today that we aren't ready to up yet. Half time well worth the lead but Gateshead won the second half by a distance. We scored two good goals.

[TheGolfRoadView]

Thought we played some good stuff at times in the first half and the miss from Donowa obviously proved crucial near half time. To be fair to Gateshead, thought they gradually got into the game more as the 1st half went on. 2nd half great finish by Mooney, but apart from the header from CCC, didn't think we created much else. Their 2nd and 3rd goals didn't look great defencively from the Golf Road, but maybe the highlights will show differently. On a negative note disappointing to hear someone say there was the fighting outside the ground after the game. Apparently there were a group of about 30 Gateshead fans hanging around waiting for their coach, couple of Alty fans responded to their chants, I guess they should have just kept quiet, but then some Gateshead fans attacked them. Hope they are ok.

good for 30 mins poor for 60.

whoever thinks donawa should start over banks needs a new hobby

wherever we finish will be an improvement on last season.

don't fancy a wednesday night in barnet tbh

We are far too one dimensional we have nowhere to go when things are not working. Today saw the end of our challenge to get promoted..

We are not a bad team but we do not have the depth of squad or quality of players to advance to the next level this season. Maybe next season. Gateshead Number 12 was by far the best player on the pitch…
