We did okay i thought as a team,
I felt today there was a few eyes raised over our managers subs and mine included.
A point of veiw should always be backed up by reasons and not just a random slate.
SWD for Hunter was as good as it gets, SWD was starting to get worn and in my veiw it was a good change, My gripe is Boyes who looked like he could play the game twice was fantastic all match, Won 99% of everythink and fed SWD with constant good balls.So what the heck did they take him of for.
Yates was starting to find room and had been for 15 min before we took him of so once again theres a big ?????? Over that sub.
Yes we needed a semple type player on but why take your best player off, Clark was poor all game so clark for semple and a giggle across the middle would have shown more intent IMO,
At the back our weakest player was jellyman possibly not a terrible performance but was stand out the weakest of the 4.
If we was to show intent jellymen should have come of and gone for a bit more bite up front.
As for telford got to say dissapointed, expected more as a team in the middle and up front, There defence was superb all match but the middle and front only looked to be standard.
96 What a waist of town end. And even a few of those couldnt behave.
-
Yes Bostonshire i agree, The like 4 like subs didnt make sense we needed to change the game but the managers seem to do this on a regular basis. Danny Sleath poor penalty kick, i would have given it to Yatesy
-
In credit to sleath 9 out of 10 i would back him

Did you go to the game?? Cullingworth and Church had stinkers

Yes and moved at half time to the centre of spain road so i could see all parts of the pitch.
I must have been watching a different game thou as im sure the church i was watching played as a midfeilder. Cully wasnt good but i didnt think he was the weakest player
-
I must have been at a different game to both you because I don't think the defence could really play much better. Poor marking for the header which if you're being over critical you could blame on the centre halves but that apart from that they didn't put a foot wrong. Telford defence where just as strong it was very much 2 like for like teams.
All in all was a very good game to watch, not in an attacking sense mind as defences on top. I personally wouldn't criticize anyone we passed the ball well and had the greater % of possession for most of the game. Another day we'd have scored the penalty and got a point so overall disappointed with the result but not the performance. I'd guess as well that if we'd played like that against a team outside the top 5 we'd have won.
-
WP Jellymen was opened up everytime on this side mate, Like i said in my first he wasnt terrible just possibly the weakest of the 4 and the one i would have sacrificed instead of going like for like.
-
I think the important thing here is the attendance.
I predicted 1609 and there were 1610 there - c'mon me!

Mine was 1602, I did get the score the right way round thou.

Just goes to show how we can all go to the same game and get different opinions because I didn't really see it. Same as your point on subs, Id agree with SWD for Miles was right as SWD had run himself ragged, also agree that Boyes should of stayed on the pitch. But didn't see any threat from Yates after about 30 minutes in and I'd agree with the managers was the right decision at the right time. Opinions hey.
-
wasn't the best of games, could tell it was 2 sides playing eachother from the top end of the table
myself i think there goal came along too easy and could have been avoided, and the turning point was the penalty, if that had gone in i'd have fancied our chances but it seemed to take any mommentum we had away
anyway onwards and upwards, just need to make sure we make a PO slot ours for keeps !

Yates only started to threat for around 10 min be4 he went of, but in that ten min he found on 3 times space that gave them summit to think about. Dont agree with the change one bit as for 7 min after the change we had no left wing, And when we did i couldnt be certain if it was clark or sleath, our shape completly went out the game.
-
I would have took clarke off useless. did jelleyman get an injury looked like it to me. imo i think if we had a little more width we would have got a little better after that no3 got booked i thought yates should hve took him on every time i was a little dissapointed there
-
Jellyman didn't look up for it today, looked like he was nursing an injury and he started limping late second half.
Telford didn't do much to impress, and we had a bad day at the office.
-
Poor penalty, but Sleath has taken a few before. It was probably just shocking that we had actually had one given!
We did OK I thought (Brian Little style), but didn't look dangerous enough. One good cross did for us.
-
According to Scotty Jellyman was injured , sounds to be douldful for Tuesday night.
-
Sympthys to sleath as he actually had a good game, but the penalty was poor.
miles hunter looked dangerous when he came on but when we needed a goal davidson for boyes was a poor choice.
heads up and ready for the next game.

heads up and ready for the next game.
Attitude description - exactly right, same as S***boro on Tue after Worcester the Sat before, another decent turnout on Tue + the two subsequent away trips, inc Worky 4 hour special on Sat, but will still manage more than the 94 we saw today, when we go to Telford...
Safety Group and the Town End, you're having a laugh! Could have told you that afer several trips to the old Bucks Head in the 80s and 90s that they have no fans, but can't have the BUFC fans having a good time creating a bit of atmos can we!? SAFETY and NOT ENJOYING OURSELVES FIRST!!!
-
Knee jerk reaction but entirely in keeping with todays health and safety crazy society.......don't go blaming the club though, blame the faceless men in suits on these 'safety advisory groups'. Anyone worth his salt knew Telford would bring 150 tops today, if it had been a play off then yes there'd have been more but that was a brainless decision today to give them the town end. Their away support, whilst decent for this level, is no better than ours but could you see any club giving up their best facilities for us?
Disagree about atmosphere though, just lately its been flatter than a witches tit down the lane........mind you, the football's been nothing to write home about has it?
Phew, I'm off for a lie down now, supporting the town enders, whatever next?!!!

Just listened to Rob Scott's interview and think all his comments are spot on today...

I thought overall 1-1 would of been a fair reflection on both sides. On another day we would of bagged the peno and we'd all be very content with a point from a promtion rival. We matched them well in the first half, but created very little opportunities on goal. Our inability to create chances in front of goal is going to hurt us I believe, if we're going to continue to aim for a play off spot. At some points in the second half we lacked decisive and quick dicision making and invited them to take the ball off of us. Both defences were very strong and neither teams had many clear cut chances. I would of liked to see us get into their area a little more and actually look capable of scoring, so many attacks filtered into nothingness. There was some decent passing and build up play without a doubt, but games aren't won with possession alone. Telford barely ventured into our box in the second half. I really thought the momentum was with us to persue an equaliser but we couldn't make all our time on the ball work for us. We look a solid unit at the back and in midfield, I think up front is where we could improve. Maybe with a few of the squad moving on, this might free up some funds for a proven goal scorer we're crying out for.
I do think we looked pretty evenly balanced with Telford, a fellow promtion team and that's a good thing obviously to take out of the game. We certainly didn't look out of place playing them and held our own, especially in the 1st half.
1 or 2 decent additions will boost our hopes for play offs I'm sure.
-
I agree with P.O.L. mostly. Really good defensively from both sides limiting the chances. I thought they were a little hoofball and a bit boring. They scored their one real chance, we didn't. Point would've definitely been fair, for me.
Bit miffed with the subs. The system needed freshening up, not just the players. Like for like didn't work in my opinion.
Thought we played well and overall I was happier with this loss than the 1-0 win against Redditch. Let's build on the better performances and kick on now.
-
Agree with WP about Scotts interview and with PoL summing up. We must have had 70% of the game. I think they only had one attempt on our goal and unfortunately they scored, got to give it credit, a very quick cross and a nice touch of a head, a good goal. I don't think we gave their goalie a lot to worry about. He took the ball out of the air well and there was always a lot of them between our players and the goal. I know I have said it before but I do wonder where our goals are going to come from. We seem to have lost the knack.
Having said all that I wouldn't slag Sleath off about the penalty. He does well for us and even the best players in the world miss them.
Overall we played very good football and it was good to watch.
Repeat my end of season prediction, to finish 5th in the league and if the ref allows it, to win the playoffs.
-
now i know how alfreton felt when we won 1-0 there. alfreton had 75% of possesion in that game and missed a penalty and we scored our only good chance. a mirror image of yesterdays game. the only difference was that we took an away support to alf.
-
Let`s face it. We were beaten by a better side on the day although we did play good football at times. Fellow Pilgrims might like to read Telford`s match report on

There are some good action shots on here too.

Greg Mills - the subject of abuse from home supporters after previously rejecting a chance to join the Pilgrims
Erm, not the reason I was baiting him, more his reaction to any form of contact, constant falling over, and general performance of a grade A tw-attitude.

Are some corkers in that gallery! Then again the guy works for an agency as well so would hope they would be!
-
Jellyman was carrying a hamstring injury, so I think he did pretty well to do what he did.
Overall a good performance, and enjoyable match by two good teams.
