Is it me or is it a bit quiet on here considering the next couple of weeks can make or break us a little in terms of where we can finish the season. With York coming to town, and only a few Saturday home matches left we should, and the club should be banging the drum a bit louder to get some momentum in terms of numbers through the gates.
-
A big match this one. Beat them and we'll be 6 points behind them with 2 games in hand. We'll then have a real chance of finishing above them. Both us and York will want to close then gap on Lynn.
With Lynn losing at the weekend and us winning, reducing the difference to us being 10 points behind them. 10 still feels like a lot of points to make up. But when you look at fixtures we have 9 home matches and 6 away. Lynn have the opposite, 6 at home and 9 away. Lynn are still big favourites to win the league but we've got half a chance still. A good run in the next few weeks and it could be very close at the end of the season.

I'd rather it be quiet on here... no moaning about recent results, etc. Even if we lose, we're still going to be in a good position to make the play offs.
By the end of the month, we'll pretty much know where we should finish, and how high we are aiming. 5 home games out of 6 for the remainder of the month - only away trip is to Brackley.

Bloody Rubbish, all of em.

Unfortunately the cards are stacked in King's Lynn's favour for their next game at Gloucester on Monday evening. They have a free Sat while Gloucester have a relegation dog-fight away at BPA before facing King's Lynn only 2 days later. Despite this I hope Gloucester can do a Kidderminster on them and we can beat York.

Great 3 - 1 win today and a magnificent performance against 2nd in the table. Well done!
-
Great game and some awesome performances. Best performance of the season for me and there has been many. Decent ref as well. Big big game Tuesday. Buzzing.
-
Cracking performance!... and in front of a better crowd - I hope the extra supporters can remember the way to the ground for future games.

Believe

Excellent result against York,glad King's Lynn played you before you hit your recent run of good form. ;D
-
Great result! King's Lynn have a lot to thank us for too. Play Offs a-go-go! :police:
-
Great win, great permance, great tactics and add a little fortune and it all adds up to 3 points and a whole bunch of happy Pilgrims. Bring on Tuesday. And yes, dare to dream, it's all still to play for.

I was moaning that the system wasn’t working just as we got the equaliser. Got to say I wasn’t convinced but credit to Craig it was a master stroke. Then to bring on pace towards the end of the game to expose a tiring defensive unit to see out the game easily. Bring on Tuesday.
-
Great win etc etc..but where is OXO ????
-
Cracking game, cracking ref. Like many, when I saw the team sheet I was disappointed. It looked like the team was set up for a draw at home. CE got his tactics spot on.
So well done CE, well done lads, see you Tuesday :D :D
-
Really good match. Reminded me of Conference / FL days. Big crowd and good football played. An all round good team performance looking like a well organised team.
Was surprised to see the change in formation, leaving Rollins and top scorer Thewlis on the bench a bold decision. Thought Penny in particular adapted well to the wing back role. Not sure if the formation change was to get Garner back into the team or a tactical identified particularly for this match. Either way it worked, we generally looked solid at the back with the back 3 all being top defenders at this level.
Got a bit of luck with the first goal deflection.
-
Looking ahead, York are in our sights now. As for Kings Lynn they have back to back away games at Chester and Altrincham coming up in the next couple of weeks.. Then let’s see how the League looks then.
-
As a side issue we have a few fans that let our club down but no mention of the York p@@@ks that threw objects at our players after the third goal. Ref went to the fourth official immediately so will be interesting to see the out come. And many commented why the police stand in the far corner as opposed to where the away fans are as they were clearly abusive to the seated part from minute one with chants that at premier clubs aren’t acceptable. I’m fairly liberal at times but I was a little shocked. We always seem to get tarnished as a club with crap fans but at places like Kings Lynn etc we are treated with utter disdain but at home we let’s away support get away with murder. During our FA Cup game at Carshalton two friendly police asked us to mind our language and were full of banter so we obliged so perhaps we should ensure the away fans respect us a little more.
-
Always been the same here, the OB were always looking to cuff a few locals and set an example while letting visiting fans get away with murder. Been like it all the years (43) I've been coming.
Good to see a 2000+ gate on a Saturday though, get used to that if we get promoted but sadly not at York St. Absolutely banging atmosphere again, I see some groundhopping blogs from the weekend admitting to astonishment that the ground is going and admiration for the game and atmosphere. Can't imagine the same being said for the new ground.......
-
It's so good being a Pilgrim.
Great game and a fantastic crowd, the York fans looked gutted.
Yorks manager said that we were the better team and deserved to win, he gave a very honest opinion of the match, well done to him.
Can we win this league, yes if everything goes our way, we have to get points out of Chester, Brackley, Altrincham and Gateshead, if we can then there is a possibility of winning the league or at worst finishing in the top 2, but there is a long way to go yet for everyone.

Brilliant game with a great atmosphere. The reporter on Radio Lincolnshire after the game was extremely enthusiastic about the ground, the team and the atmosphere, urging more people to go and support us.

You would like to think that more people would turn out, but Saturday was a step in the right direction, with around 1700 home fans there.
I think the numbers will grow if we continue this run of form, but we need everyone to get behind us who have been following home and away, Tuesday night needs to be loud and proud.
