Post-Match Thread and Ratings Gateshead 0-0 Southend United

[Medway Blue]

You confuse negativity with realism. We haven't done 'extraordinarily well' this season having only just scraped into the playoffs at the last minute as other contenders fell away. Some of the football has been awful to watch, the tactics have been questionable as have decisions re subs etc. Having supported the club for more than 65 years this is our lowest ebb in every sense. Yes we were rubbish in the mid 60s and the early 80s to mention just two periods but we were football league rubbish not non league. I hope we do beat Rochdale and go on to triumph in a Wembley final but this is a big test for Maher and Co. I hope they rise to the challenge in a positive way and if we don't make it at least go out with a bang not a whimper. The recently posted accounts mention 'free-flowing attacking football'. Let's see some.

Erm......nope. It's definitely negativity.

If only our team could be as consistent as you Tangled. Most seasons you are always in my top 3 of Shriimperzone Buffon of the year award. You have excelled this season, no play off needed. You are the Barnet of the zone ....Wear your crown with pride. You deserve it

I'm sure any award from you is far from worthless-even this one,

I hope the boys win, especially for you.

I want to dream of Wembley any dream will do.
