There are obviously dangerous players in their team Tolaj is class at this level.
I've stopped guessing about the team. Play the guys who are good for 60/75 minutes and then put Powell on if we need him.
Actually excited by this game. I think we win, but that isn't a confident prediction! #bcafc

Think tonight is the biggest game of the season (until we lose and then Saturday becomes the biggest game of the season)
The thing that gives me hope is that Plymouth have to win. There is nothing in a draw for them and that is when we tend to be better - when a team comes out and plays.
This feels a well balanced write up for a game I didn't see and couldn't listen to.
Fans will always tell a manager that they have done things wrong, but ignore the things they have done well. That feels very pertinent to GA.
We are a point closer to confirming a play-off spot.
left so we can't do anything about it.
Win on Tuesday and we are golden and if we don't we can win on Saturday and be golden. And then if not we can win the week after and be golden. Until then we are still there.

fine. Joe White - an unmitigated failure.
That has nothing to do with whether Cook would have been good for us or not.
Please, stop. Even if you are right (which can't be proved) Cook will still play for Grimsby until the end of the season. And then sign for someone else. I love Cook, but he has
the exception) were brought in for a job and have not been great. Sibley should have been good, but hasn't been. Ashby the same. He's had some moments, but not nearly enough. I reckon if Wheatley hadn't got that chance against Luton with his first touch, and had a bit to settle in, would have been
is happening to us. We had a good few games of evidence that he wasn't going to have the impact for us that we needed. So he went and has done well in a division below. Mullin is the signing I don't understand. Cook could have done what he has done, which is nothing much. The others (Jackson being
everything went in our favour in the first few months, so we can't complain. We are where we are, so enjoy the ride and if we get into the play-offs, admit you were wrong, I will do the same if we miss out.
And Andy Cook does not play for us. Anything g he does for Grimsby is not relevant to what
aren't you having it? Every single one of us would have taken it at the start of the season. I understand, again, that we could have been guaranteed already - even challenging for the top 2, but we aren't. Things have happened that didn't go on our favour - some by our own fault, some not, but
emotions, but why only the negative ones? Even against 10, we've shown we can come back and get in front, so that's a positive. A game isn't over just because we go behind. It's something that we can use. I also hate the "I'm not having 'we would have taken this at the start of the season's". Why
that it was so attacking, but as soon as we were losing it was terrible management. We were the shittest team in the world for about 30 minutes. When we equalised and then went ahead, nothing from most of these guys. As soon as their equaliser goes in, we are the shittest team again. I understand
the seconds as well as we should. I'll say again, we aren't expecting the #9 to will the headers, we are expecting them to make it hard so that the defenders' headers can be picked up by Metcalfe/Power. If the gap is too big, that doesn't happen. I read a lot before kick off saying that it was great
what happens when a team goes down to 10 - especially if they really don't need to win. The issue we had, from what I've read, seen and heard was that, because we chose the most attacking options in the "10's" the gap between them and the midfield was too big and that meant that we didn't pick up
Was busy doing something yesterday. The last time I was there City were playing away at Chesterfield last year. I ended up with the exact same feeling.
In terms of performance, I can't say a great deal, I wasn't there or even following until just before we equalised, but I will say that we know
at the back. Thought Wright did OK last week, but Penno is so much better on the ball.
Go well today boys. Got everything crossed!

on the left. Or you play a Sibley (eek!) or Lapslie (eek!) there and bring Humhprys on later. If Jackson isn't fit, then Humphrys plays in the #9 again, and you still have that choice.
Either way, there is a shirt available and someone could decide to grasp that opportunity. Would go back to Penno
Not able to be near a radio for at least the first half today. Hoping to turn it on and find that we are in a good position. Don't know what will happen with the left side. A lot might depend on Jackson's fitness levels. If he's able to play 60/70 minutes, he might start and then Humphrys could be
You do it.
There's always more traffic on the #bcafc when we lose than when we win.
That can't be right.
Come on.
For us enough times, but he wasn't going to make that impact for us this year. I don't want to be slagging him off - he's one of my favourite City players ever, but we have to move on.
As I always say, it's fine to criticise and fine to question, but at least understand where we are and why before
leave. Neither were told they weren't wanted, both chose to move on. That is fair for them, and we had a chance to replace them. The replacements can be called into question, but letting them go was the right thing for them and us. Cook has done well at league 2 level. We knew he would, he did it
of our fans obsessed with Cook scoring for Grimsby. As I understand the situation with him and Holliday, GA offered them the chance to stay and have a limited amount of game time, or go and get game time so that they have a better chance to secure a decent contract next season. Neither were told to
win. And they did it. Fair play, well done. It doesn't alter the fact that we created several good chances and on a different day, those fly in and we are talking about a team coming to VP and losing despite doing loads of horrible things to slow the game down.
And while we are at it, why are some
through hadn't been brought to at least a partial end by this manager. All GA has said was, that we really should have won on Saturday. Two great saves was the difference. I don't think we are taking any kind of sleight on Stevenage. They know what they are and what they do and how they are going to
I don't read others teams' #s unless there is a very specific reason for it, so I don't know if we are the only fans who will constantly pick fault with everything a manager says and does. I would get it if we were currently underachieving. I would understand if the years of misery we had been going
Move on and forget it.

Pointon gives. But we still have the chances to win that. Still wouldn't have been a good watch, but wouldn't have felt as bad.
Think we can beat them over two legs - they aren't going to put anyone to bed in the first leg because they don't really look like scoring a second. One of those days
made two outstanding saves.and we missed a couple more where he didn't need to make a good save.
I don't know what Lapslie was doing when he came on. Did nothing. Powell, other than a decent header that created one of the saves from their keeper, also nothing. Thought we missed a bit of poise that
get the ball back in play. You have to credit a team for having a game plan, sticking to it and it working, but officials need to do something. That cost pay on the day supporters £20+ and they saw less than a half of actual football being played. We should be winning that game regardless - their GK
Well that was quite something. Bored of watching refs ignoring CBs wrestling CFs and then giving a touch in the back and a player throwing themselves on the floor. Sick of refs pretending to do something about time wasting but allowing a team to take 40+ minutes out of a game by taking forever to
for Neufville or something that GA saw in Ashby Vs Wycombe specifically or a sign of what he thinks going forward.
Win today and we are pretty much there, especially if other results go out way, so leave it all out there and take the opportunity.
