    Us putting in a decent away performance is probably above miracle status. Farsley getting a point or three is even less likely.

    Southport could fluke a result but only if the Kidderminster defence gift them enough goals – a bit like we did at Southport.

    When Starbuck passed straight to an opponent for the tenth time in a row yesterday I thought Nicholson had returned in disguise.

    Fortunately Starbuck improved as the game progressed. Brad never did. Worst passer I’ve ever seen in an Iron shirt.

    Boston favour distance over accuracy so it works for him there.

    He couldn’t play a striker at Scarborough or he wouldn’t have been able to play 4 centre backs.

    I’ve left a few away grounds angry and confused this season but Scarborough was the only one I entered the ground feeling that way.

    I would want better odds than that.

    A Southport stumble for Kidderminster is unlikely but possible. A Farsley stumble for Brackley is fantasy.

    Working that day so had to settle for the stream. Agree though was a decent performance.

    That’s 3 then so far. Brackley, Leamington and Shields. Any advance on 3 anyone?

    I decided they couldn’t be that sh1te again.

    I was correct, They were worse.

    6 hours driving, queueing 45 minutes for inedible food and then a parking ticket after paying nearly £6 to park (ticket fell off the windscreen). Just an all round fun day. Away games this season have certainly been a test of loyalty. Last good day was Brackley in August.

    Judgement probably best left to folks that actually saw it.

    I was there but sadly missed the action which was a shame given the total lack of any action in the preceeding 2 hours.

    Love to keep Roberts and Fitz but highly unlikely. Wouldn’t mind if Kouogan and Beestin stayed.

    Not fussed about the rest.

    I think I read somewhere Brackley have never won at Leamington in about 12 attempts.

    All irrelevant we need to prepare to carry our white flags into the playoffs trying to clean sheet our way to promotion.

    Football club Vice Presidents are usually not paid. They get free tickets and Director level hospitality but not a salary. He could be on a percentage of profits he brings to the business. Wouldn’t have a problem with that.

    Kings Lynn game is on for streaming but looks like the Peterborough Sports game is not going to be covered. They have other NLN games Easter Monday but not ours.

    Maybe just take the words of those that actually went to the game instead of relying on a few highlights, plenty of those who went have commented on here and the 2 Facebook sites and they saw a far different game.
    Most of the good draws people say we’ve got away from home are fans from fans who didn’t go, the good point we got at Boston last season or so I’m told was piss poor, when a win meant Boston wouldn’t have even made the playoffs and we all know what happened there.
    The only one not being fair im afraid is you Apollo.
    We weren’t unlucky at Farsley to only score the 2 and not 10 it was piss poor finishing and a great game by their goalie, the Radcliffe game was up there with Southport and Marine away and Alfreton at home to name but a few.

    You are correct Awaywego. Didn’t bother to watch the “highlights” because I was there and there weren’t any.

    Philips was 10 yards offside for his goal. Stopped and looked at the linesman, saw no flag so carried on and tucked it away. We were actually still in the game until then but certainly never in the game afterwards.

    He also scored an even better one against us when he was stealing wages from Mansfield.

    Been to 13 away games and seen another 6 on stream.

    Apart from Brackley and South Shields we appear to have taken the field with a plan to keep a clean sheet and nick a win if possible. I get that approach when your at the likes of Kidderminster, Chorley. Chester and Curzon.

    I don’t understand it at the bottom half teams. Fed up of wasting so many Saturdays and quite a wadge of cash seeing us set up and play negatively against pretty poor football teams. Won’t be bothering with the last 2 away games and certainly won’t be attending any next season if we’re still in this league and Butler remains in charge.

    Dreadful performance right through the team. One fairly tame effort on target. A 4 out of 10 for effort for Carlton and Alfie perhaps. 2’s and 3’s for the rest. 1 for Butler and Schofield for their inability to work out the issues and apparent lack of any discernable attempts to change anything.

    Reminiscent of similarly nondescript performances at Scarborough and Rushall.

    Well deserved win by a very limited Radcliffe side who worked like bears and evidently wanted it more.

    Player of the day was a few miles up the road helping Spennymoor get to Wembley.

    Their keeper had no chance with the goals but looked very tidy for the rest of the game and a couple of the saves from Mo were excellent.

    One to consider when we can’t afford Fitzsimons salary next season.

    Not the quickest learner but got to the obvious formation in the end.

    To his credit the team are fitter and more resilient than much the same team were under Dean.

    Rowley has to count as a success and Carlton and Beck showing signs of getting there.

    Fishburn and Brogan have not delivered. Butler claims they were development players but I don’t buy that rationale with a small squad and no reserve or U-21 teams.

    Rose and Fadera have both been good signings.

    At the end of the day if Butler wins promotion he will have done a fantastic job. Always hard to deliver with the favourites.

    If he doesn’t achieve promotion he should probably go. Really hoping he stays to (almost) universal approval.

    Pretty sure he said on yesterday’s Humberside interview he has had a setback and won’t be in the squad.

    Carlton or Beck to start then.

    Rose out for another 2 weeks or so. Another start for Kelly at right back I’m guessing.

    In the unlikely event that CR10 is still with us next season I would let him have any shirt he wants.

    Maybe they aren’t as bad as their league position would suggest?

    I think we have probably made about 5 or 6 defensive schoolboy errors that have gifted the opposition a goal all season.

    3 of these came in the away game at Southport in a game we were totally dominant until the crazy stuff began.

    Each of our 3 centre backs gifted them a goal. A pretty average to poor team otherwise. New manager bounce perhaps?

    Bullshit then. EFL club cannot sign him until summer window and they don’t need to pay us a cent to do that.

    Unless he has a contract for next season with us that the club forgot to mention.

    Great news if true about Cal Roberts. I’m amazed he didn’t have any EFL contract verbally agreed by Christmas.

    Time will tell if he did or not as it must have been a National League side that made the offer.

    I’m with IA on this. Don’t care what others do. If we do our jobs and play with the intensity we saw Saturday it won’t matter.

    Time to start (and finish) the away games with more attacking intent than many away games this season.

    So Bradford attracted 4.3% of their cities population whilst 2nd in League 2.

    Scunthorpe attracted 10.2% of their towns population. Even the Iron average attendance not counting yesterday beats the Bradford attendance as a percentage of population (4.7%).
