Having seen the highlights it reminded me just what an excellent, exciting game this was. I had kind of forgotten because after the elation of the final whistle I came down to earth with a bump when I realised that Aldershot had grabbed a late winner. Fantastic performance by Jarvis but a great all-round performance by the team. We had a total of 10 attempts with 7 on target for the three goals but in fairness York had even more attempts on target being thwarted only by another fantastic, match-winning performance by Halstead. Will it be enough? I doubt it, but at least we continue to hope!

Really? We should be celebrating to the roof tops that we do not fall back into the NLS.

Colorado Gull, it should never of been like this, it didn't have to be this way at all, it's taken 38 games to find a team, formation and tactics that actually works, we aren't setting the bar that high if we are celebrating survival by not going into the 6th tier of the game, I know that sounds blunt, harsh and direct, but it's how I feel, we should be an upper mid table side/top ten.not scrapping to survive.

Lighten the load! managing a football team is easy when you don't know how but very difficult when you do. Maybe our next manager should be a lazy man; he is sure to find an easy way of doing it.

After watching my pro egg chasing team getting zero (agaIn) today, I'll take the application from the TUFC players any time...

Except that Gary Johnson is an experienced manager with a notable record of success. It shouldn't have been like this and no one at the beginning of the season would have expected this. Gary Johnson has seriously messed up.
