One month ago that result just would not have happened. No doubt about it, we'd have lost 4 or 5 nil. We are playing with renewed purpose and new-found confidence and it's great to be able to say that.

Agreed. The 3-1 defeat in the Trophy was the benchmark we had to beat.

Little's first goal described as "sweet left footed strike" on BBC - not quite what the radio boys thought!

All there is to say, is that was a remarkable game of football played by two teams who desperately wanted to win. 2-2 was the correct result and I'd say that if both teams continue to play like that, we will stay up and York will make the play offs. The substitution of King was a bit iffy to say the least, but I don't want to marr what was a fantastic team performance and a great advert for non league football. That is all.

I couldn't see what was achieved by replacing Senior with O'Neill.

Couldn't complain with the point today.  Gutted we threw it away, but the difference really started to show at 60 minutes.  Grinded out the point in the end, and the spirit once again shown by the lads on the back foot, you can't fault it.  Well done lads

Totally agree with this, disappointed to have thrown a way a healthy lead but, on the other hand:

a) I think we would have all settled for a point before the game
b) We were seriously on the back foot after they got the first and any other time in the season, surely would have lost.

And the main positive for me, we looked a changed side out there and the performance as a whole was top.

A much improved performace today. For the first 60 mins we looked liked we belong in this league rather than a team boxing above it's weight. York were a very good side and came at us like an express train (coming from York, that shouldn't be suprising) and we did well to hold on at the end despite some very tired legs on a heavy pitch.
Over all far more plusses than negatives - yes it's disapointing to lose a 2 goal lead but if we continue to play like today we will stay up.
