Who knows for the next games, but from the perspective of this game, I'm actually quite enjoying it. Proper backs to the wall performance. Come on U's, keep it up! |

I must admit, watching live I thought Edwards had taken the ball out, but on the replay (from the camera angle admittedly) he seemed to have kept it in - great effort, but it might have cost him the rest of the game.
Great save from Macey! |

All in all, an okay set of results if I'm honest. Notts County and Donny won, Walsall, Bradford and AFC Wimbledon all drew and Crewe lost to keep us in 8th place with a marginally superior goal difference. Salford, Chesterfield and Fleetwood refuse to give up on their fading hopes, and all won. Salford have a game in hand, which might add to the significance of our trip there at the end of April. |

Happy to hold my hand up if I’m wrong, but the replay(s) clearly seemed to show it bounce up right in front of him. |

I think McDonnell might have got a slight touch for Flanagan's goal, even though it was probably going in, and he looked offside?
Heyho, let's see how tomorrow's results turn out, and we go again at the Priestfield.
Up the U's! |

Not really Flanagan's fault, he was undone by a massive bobble from our shocking pitch which bounced up and hit him on the knee. Not quite a Blackburn moment, but the end result was the same. At least we only have three more games to go playing on it before nature takes control and allows some grass to grow, but it's still cutting up really badly - even the referee had to replace a divot at one point.
As for the game, I thought that was for the most part a reasonably entertaining match, but honestly Grimsby edged it. Still 21 points to play for though. |

No worries Durham, hope you're feeling better? Still no sign of Samson... |

Unless I'm thinking about somewhere else, didn't someone drive into it over Christmas, or at least it looked that way? Given the council owns the ground, are we waiting for them to pull their finger out? |

With E4 and W6 now approaching sell-out, I reckon you're right, in fact it looks a nailed on certainty now.
Excluding Good Friday afternoon games, I make it just eight Friday night league games in nearly 17 years at the Jobserve, and one of those was during lockdown. Since we returned to League 2 it's only three (including the lockdown game).
29/01/2021 - Scunthorpe United (lost 1-0, the lockdown game)
26/11/2021 - Newport (drew 1-1)
22/12/2023 - Salford (won 2-1) [Post edited 27 Mar 16:45]

Apologies Durham for the preemptive strike, but this really needs to be broadcasted as soon as possible. With still two days to go, the South Stand is completely sold out, and E5 through to E8, and W3 and W4 as well, are already close to a sell-out. If you haven't got your ticket, book as soon as possible!
Incredible support already, and with Grimsby reportedly bringing in the region of 500+ (according to their predictions) it looks like it's going to be a bumper crowd for the Friday night game.
Our best ever at the JobServe for a Friday night league game was 5,461 for John McGreal's March 2018 2-1 win over Luton Town. We look like we'll be challenging that on Friday. |

That is tough on the lad. As you say, we'll never know how things might have turned out, but it would take a special kind of maturity for a teenager not to be tempted by the bright lights of the Premier League. I hope he finds somewhere soon from which to restart his career aspirations. |

It's a harsh scoreline, but I can't argue there MP - apart from the first ten minutes or so, we were second best for mostly everything. We've bounced back from adversity twice already this season, no reason why we can't do it again against Grimsby next Friday.
Taylor looked flat if I'm honest, Edwards was marshalled well, Payne had a decent game before his replacement, but we just didn't have enough about us against a Bradford side who consistently made the 50:50 balls theirs. |
