    Don't you worry there will be plenty of excitement with this crew, they never know when their beat, most would have been happy take 2 - 2 not this squad.

    Not only full of drama throughout the game, but on the off field narrative. Andy Cook, got rid of by Mansfield scores the winner. Charles Vernham who had a spell with them too, scores the second. This was full of mistakes and errors from both sides, but on the whole, I thought it was also a brilliant advert for League Two football at its best. Tons of endeavour, strong intent and various little patches of superb football.

    Agree what a team spirit we have with a never say die attitude. No heads drop when we concede they just go again.

    Carry on like this and we will be selling out most away games and looking at regular 17K + home gates.

    It's good in a way that we have lost Angol to injury before the transfer deadline so we can do something about it. He will be missed for sure gutted for him as he has shown a real positive attitude and has caused oppo defences some real issues but also relieved as someone else can now take pens.

    Vernam is like a new signing.

    All in all its been a bloody good 7 days 3 wins 9 goals scored.

    The atmosphere was magnificent yesterday from start to finish even when we were losing and even when we took the knee .

    No idea what your getting at???


    Keeper was supported throughout, plenty of singing praising him.

    Our away fans were superb yesterday and at Exeter

    Whilst it didn’t work out for him here, it was a good appointment at the time and I don’t think many people disagreed. He did a wonderful job at Blackpool under dire circumstances of a major fan/board divide.

    He took to our club well, especially over the fire anniversary, and understanding the club history and our ethos.

    He’s a decent bloke but it turned sour with the likes of results and performances at Oldham and Mansfield to name but two. Hindsight is wonderful, but I’d happily have a pint with the bloke.

    Despite his poor finishing Angol will be a big miss. Cook looks better with his support and it'll be interesting just how big of an effect it'll have on us as an attacking unit on Saturday.

    You should try enjoying the journey instead of just focusing on the destination. You might start to get a bit more pleasure out of life.

    Don't discount Ridehalgh's influence in that goal. He picked the ball up and really drove forward. Showing that he could be a really good signing on his performances thus far.

    Great game that. Proper thriller. Good atmosphere. Two sides going at it hammer and tong.

    great character from us to win from 2-1 down.

    some dodgy defensive work but boy we look so good with those blitzkrieg breaks. Vernam, cranky, cookey and gillead bursting at speed.

    We looked weak on our right at times. Songoo looked rusty, but overall a fantastic result against a fellow title contender.

    How anyone could knock this game is beyond me Steve, two teams going hammer and tong to get a result, Vernam coming into his own second half and had their full back on toast.

    ..and as usual, you’re wrong. You dissed this side before they even kicked a ball.

    Hope you are enjoying all that egg on your face

    Come on lads! Just like royal courts back in the olden times, every gathering, including football forums, needs their resident jester, and Fordy117 is ours.
