Not a classic but an important point against a Sc***horpe team who looked very poor.
4 points and 6 teams between us and the relegation zone with 5 to play. The number of teams below us at this stage is almost as important as the point difference as unlikely they’ll all pick up points at the same time. One more win should see us safe I think.

Take any points now, all hard games no matter what or who we play, Next week a minimum of at least a point, looks like Bradford are gone, Walsall maybe , so two more from the rest, just hope we can get what we need, and SOON.

Welcome point after Southend last week.
Not pretty but given other results gets us closer to the line, Oxford safe now so thankfully they won't be arsed much against us.

Two points dropped.
A poor performance against a poor team who were on a dreadful run of form. Ricketts was too slow to recognise the need to change things and make changes.
How much this will cost us we'll see after we've been to Gillingham and Barnsley in the next two games. With our awful away form it's quite conceivable we'll be back in real trouble again by that stage and under huge pressure in the last three games.

Big let off for Ricketts.
We were absolutely garbage bettered in the s**te stakes by an awful time wasting scunny team and one of the weakest referees I've ever witnessed.
Campbell shouldve been on about 20 mins earlier.
Respect the point.

this was game that should have been winnable it was a game were town needed to start with an attacking line up and press hard but unfortunately neither happened
Town concede a goal after some soft defending waterfall was complaining that he had been held /pushed . Sc***horpe then wasted as much time as possible,a free kick for town were there player kicked the ball away twice but did not get booked, there number 4 deliberately walking as far as he could with throw ins to get the ref to signal him to go back , the pantomime when he tried to take a free kick when it a header , but the highlight of time wasting was the big defender who off the pitch feigning an injury who dramatically threw himself back on the pitch
i am fan of Ferjiri but i thought that was his worst game this season, he had one clear chance but poor ball control and it was gone,over the game town had four good chances docherty feee on goal and the shoot was saved by the keepers legs, beckles had two chances one thumping header produced the save of the game , the other went over the bar, holloway free header in on goal heads it in the ground and an easy catch for the keeper.
mitchell made one good save by tipping it over the bar frustrating to see town play some many passes back or across the back,equally frustrating was the poor distribution in the last third. we did not put a poor Sc***horpe under any sustained pressure till very late in the game.towns looked to have benefited from an own goal.
a frustrating game to watch as town looked toothless and at time clueless Sc***horpe have conceded 70 goals this season and are 20th in the league for the worst goal difference, unfortunately town left there scoring boots in the locker.
fortunately we managed to salvage a point and whilst looking poor town did keep going, let us hope dropping the two points will not cost us and fortunately all the teams below us either drew or lost

I think that has to go down as an alright point in the circumstances.
Sc***horpe took "game management" to ridiculous extremes, so it was hard to build much momentum. The subs perhaps could have come on 10 minutes earlier, but at least they had a positive impact and we looked like we had a Plan B for once.
We remain vulnerable on crosses and set-pieces, even against the worst sides in the division, and if anything's going to relegate us it will be this. Some work needs to be done on the training ground, I think.

With our awful away from it's quite conceivable we'll be back in real trouble again by that stage and under huge pressure in the last three games. Second half, Docherty and Norburn completely run out of ideas and until we scored did very little and the game was crying out for one of those to be replaced. I don’t get why Norburn is irreplaceable, 1st half he did well, then did nothing 2nd.

Let’s rewind back to Wycombe at home, and the furore at Ricketts leaving our ‘three best players’ on the bench. After today’s game, I’d be quite happy to see Grant, Docherty and Fejiri back there next week.
We played well without any cutting edge, subs helped us step it up a level. All in all a good point and a good set of results for us. Good atmosphere too.

Can we never have the fiver pound offer again. After we conceded had a random guy shouting "clueless" every second and decrying the whole team as useless. Ricketts subs got a blast even as AHH won three headers and a free kick changing the game. Didn't take conversation well, only coming out with "Telford could beat this team..."
All for being objective with what was a poor performance for some but really...

I reckon Arnold would get absolutely hammered on here for not dominating his six yard box, but Mitchell seems to be getting an easy ride. The cross for their goal should have been claimed and thereafter Scunny hung every corner/free kick into the 6 yard box causing mayhem.

We were poor, very poor,to slow no drive, and poor passing.we've got no cutting edge up front with no desire to get into goalscoring positions. I'm only telling as I see it, we might just survive, but we will need a good sort out in the summer, here's hoping

It seems to be a very common fault with keepers at this level I did think Mitchell kicked pretty well made a good save before we scored ,but have to agree he was slow to come off his line at times Will need to see the goal again to be sure he was at fault for that

Thank God that they scored for us - we would not have pu it in the net on our own if we had played all night.

Now he brings on Holloway, just what does he bring to the table? A lot more than Okenabirhie managed in 90 minutes, as it turns out. As poor as we were in the second half, I think AAH enabled us to get something out of the game by helping us keep the ball in their half. Did some good defensive work too. Made a big difference.

SAM seemed to think we did ok today, maybe but unable to beat a very very poor scunny team at home well?it seemed like a dead rubber game first half with nowt to play for,not sure why sam thinks goldbourne can play his position as he has zero quality going forward, maybe ok in a ridgid back 4 but offers nothing past the halfway line in my opinion.grant looked hapless today,to be fair to AHH he got involved and won some decent headers,ive seen in written here before that he could potentially be a decent CB?

What a familiar story. Started brightly but so wasteful, not just the finishing (Docherty, Bolton, Beckles) but we wasted opportunities to create chances with poor decision making, overplaying, taking too many touches, poor passing ......... then we get suckered with a poorly defended goal and are punished for not scoring again. Feels like I’ve seen this film too often.
And again, a messy, uncontrolled second half when we nearly went two down a couple of times and struggled to find any momentum. Grant’s passing was all over the place, Docherty was well below par, Whalley up and down (what a dreadful shot from much too far out), Okenabirhie was woeful ...... Plenty of effort from the team but little good quality.
Holloway and Campbell rescued us in the end but, however you shuffle the pack, there just isn’t much of a team to be had from this squad.
The point proved to be a good one for now but let’s see how it looks in two weeks’ time. We could be just a win from safety or it might need another point or two but we seem intent on making heavy weather of it. Scunny’s defence would have conceded a few against a good team today.

Decent cross which Waterfall should have won, but their player looked as surprised as anyone that it ended up in the net.

Two very poor teams.
If you didn’t know anything different you would think that we've just watched a bang average league 2 game.
At the moment I'm just hoping that we scr@pe enough points together to keep us up. That's all I can think about at the moment but there's going to have to be some serious soul searching come summer because we are poor.

I concur, our keeper faultless for their goal. Totally pointless playing Bolton and Golbourne as wing backs today, they offered no attacking threat. I didn't notice Norburn in the 2nd half, he didn't look fit. Anyway, another point and our highest league position this season? Let's hope for better next season.

Nothing recently has changed my view that we need to be starting next season with a new manager in place, regardless of which division we're playing in.

It was vital we didn’t lose today, and thankfully we didn’t. Think a point will do, although I feel three would have probably seen us safe. Scunny a horrible team to watch. Snatched a goal and then it was a case of shut up shop, time wasting was awful. Personally I don’t think we played to bad. A few players had off games I agree, grant especially, but overall thought we played quite well. Subs changed the game. Was crying out for Holloway, the opposition centre halves were having to easy a time of it with Fey and Whalley up there, whereas Holloway gave them something to think about with his physicality. As mentioned above, I wish Campbell had come on slightly sooner, caused problems when he came on. At this stage of the season it’s all about getting points, and we managed to get one and climb a place in the table so can’t grumble to much.
