D1 incoming - any second now ! Well I’ve seen it on YT anyway

 

[stewart]

Do you not think, that just maybe, ever so slightly, he's already done enough for that, possibly?

No he was bought in as Manager with Currie and Benno to get the club up and running and back into the EFL, so not quite achieved the task as yet .............Just kidding

18 months ago I was here in Sydney crying at the thought of losing my team.
Today it’s tears of joy of doing something I felt was impossible 3 months ago
Many congratulations to all the coaches, players and especially you the supporters who have stood by the team and travelled the length and breath of the country.
Please let me hear that “Roots Hall Roar” from Wembley on 1st June

Perhaps next season he could buy a proper headset and then he'd look like a proper ****. A definite touch of the "look at me using technology to sort my team out". As it turned out, he may as well have been talking to Deliveroo.

How do you know he wasn't?

 

[londonblue]

It’s games like that make all the **** nights worth it. 1-0 losses to Sittingbourne, 0-0 draws with Braintree just make tonight even sweeter.

Personally delighted we’re going to Wembley again as I was abroad last time - try and bloody stop me going this time!!!

Will do, but you'll have to give me a fighting chance. Where do you live?

 

[londonblue]

Did anyone else think that hoardings around the pitch were dazzling (and not in a good way).
It was lights on, can’t see the ball on the pitch and they lights off and normality

I made exactly the same comment.

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

It was nice of DAZN to treat us to a total of probably 10 minutes of footage of him sat in the stands wasn’t it!

I’m confused, who is FGR’s manager again? Does he have any history in the game?

 

[londonblue]

I actually think they both spoke well. If SC really went into our changing room and congratulated the team, then well done him. That's very classy.

And RI's answer to the question of if he'll be there next season was very well worded.

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

A few of us left on the terrace whilst the hordes were partying on the pitch, i looked across the concrete steps and noticed a lad in his 20's wiping away tears, standing alone. I strode over and gave the fella a hug and walked away welling up myself. **** this for a lark. How did that even happen? Wembley this season? Its a book waiting to be written.

 

[Holy Joe]

Win or lose surely a Wembley appearance could help capitalise the club for next season

I can't remember what team it was last season (Wrexham??) but any prize money from promotion was more than absorbed by bonuses paid

 

[GIBBO]

I am on holiday for the final.

Never book a holiday during the season I always check dates..... just in case.

 

[Snowy]

Never book a holiday during the season I always check dates..... just in case.

Booked last year before the NL announced the dates. Just my luck.

Hayes 4 sorry on this night of joy but his kicking is his biggest asset….refuses to command his box and not even a good shot stopper, the toothless veggies wouldn’t have scored if we had a proper keeper
Goodliffe 8 has his dodgy moments but more than re pays them in other ways, sign
him up


Ralph 7 Mr dependable is still doing it
Taylor 7 more like his last ditch self
Gus 8 his energy and general attacking play like KAF rubs on to everyone else, great bottle at the end as well
Parillon 7 always adds something different with his skills and hopefully gets stronger with experience?
Husin 6 still don’t get why he is cemented in every week…Miley looking good enough to take over
Coker 6 another one that has gone backwards in the last 2 months
KAF 8 always going to be MOM most weeks with his tenacity and general play, unlucky not to score, distribution needs shoring up
Kendall 7 like KAF doesn’t let the opposition rest with his pressing and we know he can put it away as well
Hopper 8 has gone from a waste of time signing to first on the team sheet. Leads the line, defends well and can score given the opportunity.
Maher 1 Most of us nil
Miley 7 great bit of skill and shot, he ain’t far off
Gubbins 7 great penalty, that’s his ability, can kick a ball and pass
Walker 5 pen miss and offers little, time to part
Bonne 7 people were saying he had an attitude….yes, a very good one. Still got pace and a brain, well good enough to add something in this League
Bridge 7 was thinking he was on his way out and ends up taking us to Wembley with a well taken goal and an even better penalty
Maher 10…..massive transformation in the last month with much less defensive mind set. This is a very average League that needed attacking…..3 signings that do that are KAF, Parillon and Kendall and they have all been utilised to perfection. Walker, Hayes (probably enforced) and out of form Husin selections are a worry but he knew best

Can u hear the cardwell sing ? No no

Enjoy your money Harry........ but look what you could have had.

 

[Hooly]

L

saw the video of this, got a knee to the head. Anyone see him walk off?

Yes he was interviewed on DAZN after the game. Seemed fine then.

 

[KrustyTheKray]

OMG So so proud of my club! Was at the Hall last night and what an unbelievable night, feared the worst at 2-1 down then Bridge steps up and the whole east stand erupts, just brilliant. A proper night of emotions.
Was Cotterill serving a touchline ban or is he always talking via an earpiece and on an Ipad?
Thought the commentators on DAZN were quite biased towards FGR, and it seemed like they just chose to focus on the FGR fans. Wembley here we come!

Referee definitely deserves a mention
