Wasn't there but Aldershot at home has to go down as one of the best/most important results of the season, was quite remarkable following it from a distance, must've been amazing to have been there. In terms of disappointing results, losing at Wycombe in the very next game when they were absolutely rooted to the bottom of the table was horrible. We just didn't turn up, everyone seemed to have a bad day. Maybe the players took the Aldershot result for granted and just expected things to happen in a similar vein.

Best - Aldershot (H) - Simply because, when do you see come-backs like that?
Important - Barnet (H) - Took us out of the drop-zone, put Barnet there and gave us the confidence to go and win at Morecambe.
Worst - Harrogate (H) - Ling could have been sacked after that display. Alarm bells and shocking football was there to see.

Gillingham at home..totally unexpected win but showed that shots on goal do payoff, shame that was not followed through.

I'm glad the importance of the Chesterfield game/Performance has been mentioned. Likewise the Barnet game - Lose and we're doomed - was massive too!

Revised summary of the season for me: Best - Chesterfield at home, Worst- Wimbledon at home, Most important - Barnet at home.

The rest.... I'm not so sure.

Most important. I think there are three options
a)The game I think it was three into Taylors period where it dawned on the board that he needed support in the form of someone with managerial experience
b) Dagenham away when at last the team realised how to match the opposition for possession and shots on goal
c)Chesterfield at home when we got our future back into our own hands
Best Bristol Rovers at home - sheer relief and joy.
Worst - I know this will be controversial but Exeter away - because it lulled people into thinking that we could make it without Ling and with Taylor in charge.

think thats a good point mate, well made.
well done for pointing that out.

best/most important - beating barnet and the shots.

as beating both of them, in the final analysis, put them in the sh*t. sorry i meant BSP.

worst - harrogate. shocking. disgraceful and no excuse.

I didn't mention the Harrogate defeat because i wasn't at the game so i can't say it was the worst i'd seen as i hadn't seen it but you're right. If i'd been there it would probably have been the worst one and that would take some doing as if you were a regular attendee at away games too you will instinctively know why and also instinctively know why Ling got his marching orders. :~D :nod:

It seems that contributors have forgotten the dreadful 0-1 Cup defeat at Home by Harrogate Town. Bradford at home was dire, as were many others; the worst thing about the season was, as it progressed, you went to the game in a half-hearted manner, knowing it was going to be dire.
Next season, anything but boring terrible tedium, please. A regular attender will know instinctively why Ling got his marching orders.

Judging this only on the games I witnessed.

Best Game: Exeter away. Beating them in their own back yard. Brilliant.

Worst Game: Aldershot away: The less said about this game the better. Just thinking back to that match makes my blood boil.

Most important: Dagenham away: Since the City win, we only got 1 point from a possible 27. We were in free fall and after Downes got sent off, I feared the worst, but we fought back brilliantly and got a deserved point. We played better with 10 men than Dagenham did with 11. It was that game I got belief that we had what it took to stay up. If we lost that game, I think we might not have stayed up.

It's funny that nobody has mentioned this game up to now. It was another dire performance but we nicked the penalty and hung on at the end, a familiar tactic. The result was much needed and was sandwiched either side of really poor results so it didn't really have the desired effect we all thought it would at the time and see us kick on. On top of that it was a win in our rivals back yard so all the more pleasurable.

The best game for me without doubt was Aldershot home, remember at half time not being able to explain how we were 2.0 behind and then to conceed a third so early in the second half just made you feel like going home, remember going nuts when we leveled it at 3.3 thinking we had nabbed an unlikely point, then goal number 4 goes in and we had won the game, long time since I had felt like that watching Torquay.

Every win was vital in the end including Aldershot, but think you have to look at the run-in for the most important, I could say Dagenham away, 1.0 and down to 10 men after 3mins, then to fall 2.1 behind late on to snatch a priceless point. I could say Morecambe away had we lost that game the team would have gone into the last game in the botton two and under all sorts of pressure.

The home wins over York and Barnet were simply massive, however the most important of the lot agreed was Chesterfield at home, we had just gone through a run of 8 straight defeats the club, players and fans were on our knees, that win gave everyone the lift, belief and confidence, and probably was the reason we went on to gain the points needed.

Opps sorry forgot the worst, can't say Aldershot away becuase I did not go, so for me it has to be Southend home, shocking all over the place, pathetic and many other words I will not put on a family site.
Don't rub it in Dave! :lol:

I had my ticket and was holed up in a holiday park near Tavistock eagerly awaiting this game and i got ill and had a sh*t holiday and couldn't make the game which is partly why i booked the bloody holiday so i could get to Plainmoor!! :'( :'(

I missed an all time classic!!! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
