Nicholson was awful, stevens had an alright game in my opinion and you couldn't expect anything from Macklin really an I think he only came on due to Craig injured which meant Stevens got an early appearance, just good to see him back. Wasn't too pleased with Oastler either. Jarvis did well covering ground and Bodin had a bright start but fizzled out and correctly substituted.

Agree about Thompson, he should have been there.

Although I like nico, I think we should give him a rest and play Cruise.

Think our game would fundamentally improve if we just concentrated on being more accurate with our passing and making sure it gets where its supposed to go on occasions and accept that sometimes it just pays to get rid of the ball rather than trying to do too much with it.

Great result yesterday. They actually aired the match on Norwegian TV, but with an English commentator. Felt that the penalty was very soft and Billy fell over way to easy. The commentator said it was a clear cut penalty, but that was far from my impresion. Like others have posted we gave away possesion way to easy with sloppy passes. No wonder we conceed so many goals at the end of games. We need to try to keep the ball within the team. Thanfully, yesterday we were able to hold on.

Bring on Cheltenham :)

Great to hear the game was seen as far as Norway, while it wasn't a great match, it could have been a hell of a lot worse, and our boys fought to the last man to keep City out.

Has anyone else had trouble with the highlights link on sky sports? on my pc it wont load, and on my iPad it says it's not compatible. I was at the game, and can't wait to see the game from a better view. Can't wait for Saturday now.

They don't seem to have put it up yet, just interviews with Manse & Rene and pointless burbling by Tiswas and Numpty.
Fate: A police dog called Bryn bit Torquay player Jim McNichol and the time while he was receiving treatment was added onto the end of the second half.

I really like Taylor, but when he speaks its like a bedtime story, I'm amazed the team were even awake for the second half!

Yeah, those within spitting distance of the Arctic Circle have no problems getting it but if you live in a dead midlands town like Chesterfield and it's Premier League obsessed sterile chain pubs then you can forget it! :@


Tossers. You'd think they would put on ANY football just to attract the odd more punter. Arseholes.
Strangely enough it was Pope Gregory the 9th inviting me for drinks aboard his steam yacht, the saucy sue currently wintering in montego bay with the England cricket team and the Balanese Goddess of plenty.

At last time to post! Delighted with the win last night and I cannot fault the players for effort. Well done lads!
Thought Rene, Manse and the two centre backs had really good games. However, thought our full backs were caught out on a number of occasions. Time for Cruise and Leadbetter. Ling also needs to accept that Stevens is simply not good enough for League 2.

With the away support about 550 last night. How many watched the match on the big screen with that curry/pint offer. Better to give us the money.

It was well supported with 45 fans attending. Thank you to everyone who could not get to St James's Park but who came to Plainmoor instead to support the Club. We hope to be able to repeat this in the future.
