It will sum up our season if we draw on Saturday and results go our way again and we still scrape 5th place!!

Didn't understand taking Richards off and keeping OBH on as Richards can at least carry the ball up field.

12th man was excellent again, will be needed even more in playoffs but i expect many will find it difficult to travel so far midweek

Everyone would have taken this position at the start of the season, half way through, and after we lost to stocksbridge!

Stamford were always going to be difficult due to the Drury factor. Add to that Ross being unwell today it made it difficult. The fans did their bit, and the players almost did.

To give it some perspective I expect Stamford have a larger budget than us.

If we win on Saturday I fancy us to go to anyone and give them a very close game, and you never know.

If we beat Carlton, two incredibly hard matches follow Witton and Stocksbridge (cant see them losing to Spalding) away. If we get past that lot we will certainly deserve our place in the Premier next season.

No mate not really....just being honest and not letting my heart rule my brain!! Obviously last season side stronger than this..... weve had shocking injury list etc local clubs paying silly money which makes it difficult to attract certain players!! Like i said imo weve circumstances weve over achieved!!! Think we would of all took this start of season.. and wen you hear of some of the budgets we do ok

Personally think Spalding are a better side than Stocksbridge, and fully expect them to beat the Yorkshire side.

We have to worry about Carlton Town first before we can think of Witton away. I was hoping we could win today and get a guaranteed play off place, so we could rest Super Liam Dolman for that match, so we can get him 100% ready for the play off match IF we beat Carlton.

Can't make it this coming Saturday sadly. But looking forward to seeing us in the semi final a week tomorrow

Draw fair result. Why is Jon Challinor rotting in that side?

As for Stamford,Dury and co. Long may you rot in that souless ground. Classless bloke and laughable "stewards" (eat some salad you fat c*nt)
