IMO a much improved performance tonight Vs Chorley....We were unluckly to go in at half time at 0-1 {it seemed like we were playing against 12 men sometimes in the first half}....credit to the ref. though to award us a penalty and from then on we never seemed to look back..
-
Good contribution from Hawley in his full deput . And magical mid-field midget Lewis Hilliard worthy winner of MOM.
-
entertaining game....
a good team effort ended up worthy winners
-
Trying not to get carried away, but the second half performance must be the best team half of the season, maybe equalled with the Alfreton game. Thought Batch was fantastic. Up the Pilgrims. It'll teach them to moan about "frozen pitches". 5 wins from 5 at home on Tuesday nights this season, can someone rearrange the next couple of Saturdays?!?!?
-
I too thought the ref was going to spoil the game,their number 10 made six bad challenges and got warned,another one dived and Johnson got booked . Read earlier that he refereed a game a few weeks back and booked 8 but failed to give a red to Halifax player and both sets of fans booed him off at the end lol
Moving on, what a second half, Hawley did exactly what Brodie didn't. He was a menace to their back line, making himself available,shielding the ball and talking to the players around him,he made a lot of difference second half when we got the ball down and played it to him rather than over his head. Hilliard was a changed man tonight, different player to what he has been most of the season. Superb result and performance.

LH aint that small.. and quite meaty . ;)

brave selection picking the two young full backs but it paid off. both stayed at home more and gave us more of a solid look
chapman got more influential as the game went on. agree re hawley- did really well. held it up and was a nuisance. unlike brodie gave no free kicks away either. thought robinson ran hilly close for MOM
just heard their gaffer crying about the pen on their twitter. they turned up late for the original game, then he influenced the ref not to play it. this earned them a tuesday night trip and they were late again. not very professional. when he helped get the initial game called off i'm sure i wasn't alone in thinking i hope they get bugger all from us when we do play it so i'm pleased with the win. it was thoroughly deserved based on the second half display. hopefully hilly will continue to be picked. he's a class act and strikes a great ball
well done to all involved. onward and upward. hope the fella near me in the main stand who was after murray's head at half time has changed his view. for christ's sake give the bloke a chance

I was stood at the corner of Spayne Lane and Town End and had a good view of the penalty. Jay had got round the defender and would have been in on goal but the defender took him out at waist height, the ref had no option but to point to the spot. I thought they would get a penalty though the way they went to ground easy and got us bookings with no bloody contact being made. Think we all wanted them to get hammered after that Saturday postponement. FIVE minutes after the call was made that they would be late as stuck on M62 the bloody bus turned up, guess they were trying to disrupt our pre match routine but it failed big time.
My comment about KH was alluding to the fact that he was a bloody nuisance and did what a good forward should do,show for the ball and keep moving around disrupting the defenders everything that Brodie failed to do.
-
Listening to their commentary on Youtube, apparently the referee bought into the penalty it was the fans who called it and the ref fell for it LMAO
He also reckoned Batchelor scored from the spot.Only given cos the fans appealed. Really? it was blatant.
-
Fantastic win.
Chorley the cheats, they deserved what they got.
Onwards and upwards, is this the start of a little bit of Murray magic??
-
Did anyone else noitice that out of the eleven who started last night, that NONE of them started the away match last August?
-
Great result - although if the FA and League had any guts we should have been awarded the 3 points in the first place for Chorley refusing to play in the initial game (or at least investigated the dubious circumstances as to why it did not take place)! Well done Mr Murray and the team!
-
A much needed win and deserved one in the end.
Once again though two different halfs and I'm not with everyone's views on here that we were great.
The 1st half was very like the Harrogate game with no width and 3 centre midfielders all playing on each other's toes. Us being second to most balls and no ideas when going forward.
Credit to Murray he addressed these issues and for a good 30 min spell in the second half we dominated and the pressure got its rewards.
More of the same on Saturday lads but from the start please.
-
I was stood at the corner of Spayne Lane and Town End and had a good view of the penalty. Jay had got round the defender
How good was your view? It was Josh Robinson who was fouled ;)
The defender probably didn't realise he was there, tried to boot the ball away but kicked Robinson's chest instead. Clear penalty.
-
Chorley were very cynical from the postponement last month right to the end last night
as soon as they'd scored their players were going down to waste time. not a great advert for their club or manager who comes out of the sorry debacle with little credit does he?
there were lots of elbows flying around at set plays too but i was pleased to see our lads standing firm in the face of some physical stuff- exactly as jay rollins had predicted
less of chorley though and more about us. this was much much better. let's hope it's a blip as won 4 drawn 2 lost 3 under AM isn't too bad compared to the 9 games or so before his arrival
neither darlington or nuneaton are in great form so at least 4 points from these two please chaps! well done to the fans last night too. after the quiet display v harrogate the noise was better last night and i'm sure the lads were helped by it
onward and upward e
-
Chorley management looked up and listened, but offered no response when I pointed out they missed their best chance when the original match was called off due to (imagined) frost. If they pressured that tactic then it backfired big-time.
-
i've just watched the highlights back and if their gaffer still doesn't think that's a pen after seeing the video then he's either blind or a liar!
pen all day long. he doesn't do it on purpose as he's watching the ball but no doubt he kicks robbo in the midriff
pitch was a bit better last night too which helped us. decent ish forecast for the rest of the week too so hopefully better still v darlo which will give the likes of hilly time to play
would like to see simmons do a bit more. shows well in patches but would like more
-
Agree. Basing a game solely on highlights is impossible to do, but looked like Rollins and Hawley had good ones.
The pitch does look in pretty poor nick though. Can imagine there's reasons to it, but not quite sure a ploughed field works for our style.
Pleased for Hilliard, gets a lot of stick but when we're good, more often than not he is.
-
hilliard is gifted. make no mistake about that. great feet and good with the ball
all too often in our game his kind are badged as lazy when they are in fact just languid. if we can get the best out of him he will win us games. really good player. rollins and hawley really grafted hard last night and work rate made all the difference
