    We didn't do too much wrong apart from not create enough but when we did create, we had couple of decent chances. Should have won really but it's a massive improvement.

    They say that they want more respect for the Refs maybe if some of them learnt the rules of the game they were in charge of they would get it

    Thanks for your company tonight CJS at least I didn't feel I was the only one following the game, Should actually be at the game on Saturday when we lose to Cambridge unless we get a bit of attacking quality before then. Saturday night could see us with one foot in the national league

    I try and get on when I can. Not easy my end <ok>

    Cambridge up once again. Surely we will perform better against them than the other day when we lost in the cup. Enjoy the game <ok>

    That’s our first clean sheet in 15 competitive games, since the 15th of March! An actual point - rejoice! :1980_boogie_down:

    3 defenders, 1 midfielder and 2 forwards on the bench with the back up keeper of course.

    We need more midfielders.

    Mola missing!

    3 changes from Oldham. Sotiriou out with the injury picked up in the Oldham game. Howley and Cavegn drop to the bench.

    HT we are winning 1-0. A well taken goal from Harrison.

    It's been a scrappy game with a whistle happy ref. We should expect bad officials this low down the football pyramid though.

    Cambridge was dominant over us in the cup game. But here are some HT stats that we have restricted on them today.
    They have only had 1 shot, which was from distance and was off target. They have had just 1 touch in our box. And they've made just 81 passes all half with just a 51% success rate.

    FT we somehow hung on, no thanks to the ref though who was poor. Gave them everything, including 10 added minutes from no where! What didn't help was DC going 5 at the back late on and bringing on Moore - who has been poor for us. But we did it.

    2 clean sheets in a row. 2 game unbeaten run. Need to keep building on this. Confidence will return. But we desperately need more bodies because we looked dead on our feet after 75 minutes. Fitness seems to be really bad.
