Subs: Auton, Hume, Andrews, Bramwell, Eisa, Khouri, Ainley

Swindon are starting a couple of kids in defence.

No Rose and Thame
I was nervous before!!

We look a tad weak today .

Oh balls. 5-4-1, our best centre back and only goalscorer both injured.

Come on Orsi. Do us a favour

Don't like the look of that team.  :D

One day I just may be able to watch a match without a knot in my stomach.

No Thame, Maher back in the team.....Might need that Samaritans number by 5:30pm.

of all the days to have a weak side playing!! This is not good lets hope Crawley can do something today for us

Swindon are 5/2

No Obikwu in the squad. Look very light on forward options.

Let’s hope Swindon aren’t bothered because this looks like the weakest team we have put out for weeks.

Are they all injured?   I would never think I'd be wanting Obikwu so soon.  It's at times like this I wish I had an oxygen canister.

No Pyke either.

Swindon playing a few kids today so lets hope that's a plus for us

My guess is 4-5-1. A line-up with the aim of nicking a point. Fair enough, given the players available, I suppose. Good Lord, our squad is shite.

What the hell is going on . anyone would think we had nothing o play for

We need Wilson to get stuck into those inexperienced defenders. Might really unsettle them.

Now I really am worried - the once unlikely scenario of it all coming down to Crawly next week is now not looking so crackers. Fingers crossed - UTM.

There's a l;ady linesperson. Hope she keeps up with play.

Will make life exciting.

Am I right in saying this is JT's last home game of his career?

Quoted from Mayaman

Am I right in saying this is JT's last home game of his career?

Think he said he would still do the odd game if invited but could be wrong.

Not as bad a game as I expected.

Walsall just pushed Crawley out the play offs - that might galvanise them,

Wood is playing like a competition winner this afternoon.

Not as bad a game as I expected. Some good approach play from Town.  

Wow . This is poor

Wood can't control a ball

Quoted from Chrisblor

Wood is playing like a competition winner this afternoon.

Been horrendous

Maybe mentioned, where’s obikwu?

Town look they were on the lash til 4 this morning.

Quoted from Plankton

Wood can't control a ball

He didn't know whether to trap it or volley it.  In the end he did neither.

Quoted from Ford Cortina

There's a l;ady linesperson. Hope she keeps up with play.

Hope you keep up with the times

We can't get hold of the ball.

Quoted from Mayaman

We can't get hold of the ball.

When we do we give it away.

Go for it

Yeah

We need to be getting at the youth teamer no.40 at CB for them. He looks shaky and you can tell it's his first ever start in the league.

Sutton 0-1 Crawley

Quoted from MarinerDevil

Sutton 0-1 Crawley

Glad somebody is playing for us.

Orsi gets an assist.

Quoted from MarinerDevil

Sutton 0-1 Crawley

Orsi assist

Crawley winning, That should help the players relax a bit!

Is Vernam on a bonus if we are relegated? He seems to be letting everyone run past him, especially near our box

Orsi ---can we sign him

Quoted from Chrisblor

We need to be getting at the youth teamer no.40 at CB for them. He looks shaky and you can tell it's his first ever start in the league.

Their number 40 has said that about all our players

Sutton 1 down

Doncaster 0-2 Barrow. Thought Donny were going to make the play-offs, maybe not quite good enough when it matters.

Like a pre-season friendly this

Hard watch that!

Quoted from MarinerDevil

Doncaster 0-2 Barrow. Thought Donny were going to make the play-offs, maybe not quite good enough when it matters.

Bloody good run though.  I think since they beat us they've won every game.

Dreadful half but for their GK we would somehow be winning this

That was fooking shite. I appreciate we've got limited options but the way we've set up is shite. Green behind the striker? Madness.

Quoted from Ford Cortina

There's a l;ady linesperson. Hope she keeps up with play.
8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Welcome to the 70s… oh dear 🫣

Tough watch.

Gav Green and Thompson doing okay. Dont know what formation we are playing

Wood is dreadful

My God we are excrement! Some half decent approach play but the final ball has been woeful. Fragile at the back, any good team would have had at least a couple of goals.
Don't worry lads and lasses, the agony is nearly over!

We're that not good at football.

So far so good. Unless Swindon score and Sutton score two we are safe.

Quoted from Hagrid

Tough watch.

Gav Green and Thompson doing okay. Dont know what formation we are playing

Wood is dreadful

Wood makes clifton look like a footballer.

Total lack of quality from town and we have so few options to change things.

Quoted from Hagrid

Tough watch.

Gav Green and Thompson doing okay. Dont know what formation we are playing

Wood is dreadful

I hope he's subbed.  His control is shocking.

Quoted from GYRanger

Wood makes clifton look like a footballer.

That did make me smile  8)

Quoted from Hagrid

Tough watch.

Gav Green and Thompson doing okay. Dont know what formation we are playing

Wood is dreadful

Gav & Green?! They’ve been absolutely shite IMO, not one of them has strung one decent pass together.

Wood even worse though, he looks shockingly bad.

Quoted from Mayaman

I hope he's subbed.  His control is shocking.

Why not give Khouri a go in the second half?

Just looking at the real-time league table, changing every few minutes.

I noticed that in 45 games, Gillingham have only scored 44 goals, shipping 53, but amazingly they are still up in 9th position. Seems like they have the ability to defend a one-nil lead pretty well considering they have won 1 - 0 eleven times this season, including the first 4 games of the season.

Whether we stay up or not, the squad is terrible. With the exception of Rose, Thompson, Tharme and Vernam,

Huge rebuild required.

Quoted from RonMariner

Why not give Khouri a go in the second half?

Would make sense, wouldn't it.  When I've seen Khouri play he's done OK.  Not  moved mountains but been pretty safe.

How was wood come out for the 2nd half. My god

Noticed Crewe got stuffed 0-3 again. Seems to be a habit for them recently lol

Sutton equalise

Sutton score

Sutton somehow score with the worst free kick of all time

sodomist.

We need to hang on.

Sutton pull one back

MK Dons still seem interested despite having secured fourth. Let's hope we don't need them next week.

Notts County 1-0 Colchester

Sat in a caravan in Skegness listening. We’ve bought the dogs calming tablets just in case she stresses with the change of environment.
Would it be wrong to take a couple?

Jesus.  Wood again.  Should have at least got that on target.

I always find alcohol works better.

Quoted from promotion plaice

I always find alcohol works better.

Don’t fancy drinking on these tablets

Our free kicks are better this match.

This is shite

this is dire. Hope we can scape a goal!

Town bring on Waters, Drinkell and Whymark.

If Carlsberg did substitutions.

Sutton really close to getting another. Our lot need to pull their fingers out because depending on others to do the job for us won't work at this rate.

Edit: Thank fook

thank god for that 1-0

Yeeeessss

Phew....breathing space

Who played him through?

Lovely goal, class assist from Ainley and a very cool finish from Smith. What a difference having a midfielder on the pitch who can pass quickly and forward to a teammate makes!

Brilliant contribution from Ainley and Smith showing how it should be done.

Great vision and ball from Ainley

Up to the dizzy heights of 20th.

Weve gone above salford ;D

Above Salford as it stands.

Sutton winning, shouldn't matter to us now.

Jesus, what on Earth are Sutton on?

The bass of fish all round has worked - only 18 points off the playoffs.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Sutton winning, shouldn't matter to us now.

Always coming. Crawley have been rubbish since conceding just lumping high balls that's easy for Sutton's giants.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Sutton winning, shouldn't matter to us now.

I wish they wasn’t though

Another ref who bottled it for us

Penno all day

I'd prefer Colchester to go down to prove that the Cowleys are not all that.

Sutton just don't give up do they? Just hold on Town.

clearest penalty you will see in a football match... and the ones this season thats gone against us its laughable our luck

Eastwood suffering from cramp?   8)

That is horrendous officiating

Colchester must be panicking.  Game in hand but Surely Crewe won't lose another on the bounce.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Eastwood suffering from cramp?   8)

Sutton's keeper suffering from the same thing at the same time. Maybe a psychic connection

WILSOOOOOOONNN

2-0 Wilson

Football league secured, THANK GOD

Cracking strike Wilson!!!!!!!

YESSSS

SAFE

And Breathe 2-0

Doncaster have scored what looks like a winner. Historic run.

Quoted from MarinerDevil

Doncaster have scored what looks like a winner. Historic run.

Good chance they will beat Colchester in midweek too, so it will go to the last day of the season for them and Sutton.

Quoted from MarinerDevil

Doncaster have scored what looks like a winner. Historic run.

Tasty final day of the season if today's scores stay as they are and Donny keep their winning run going in midweek at Colchester

Crawley equalise.

Fair facking play to those 6 fingered folks down the road, some run they're on. Come from 2-0 down and now leading 3-2  , would not want to play them in the play offs

And Salford score. No 20th for us.  :'(

Anyway, for the first time in months I can now relax when thinking about football.

Crawley score again after some good pressure. not that it'll matter now

Crawley equaliser so good news for the Cowleys.

Well finally been for a 💩 for the first time in weeks due to clenching!

Fair play to Donny.  They were just above us when they played us. A fantastic run that.

Crawley nearly get a winner ball kicked off the line

Sutton relegated.

Hats off to David Artell. He called it a while back that we were too good to go down lol.

I just wish it wasnt such an bottom-clenching experience

PHEW!!!!

Quoted from RonMariner

Sutton relegated.

Not quite.

Not just yet

Quoted from RonMariner

Sutton relegated.

Not mathematically, 3 points behind Colchester.

Quoted from mike_d

Not mathematically, 3 points behind Colchester.

My mistake. Sky were saying they were down but have now corrected themselves.

Let’s hope Donny thrash Colchester on Tuesday to make it interesting next Saturday.

20 points from last 14 games(since the donny disaster & reorganisation) - that form would put us in with a chance of the play offs.

It's a funny old game,

Poor stuff but two good finishes and tbf we did improve once the nerves had gone. So, welll done lads for getting the result we needed but won't be sad to see many/most of you not in a Town shirt next year.

Fair play to Sutton, they’ve had a hell of a run of form. Obviously I will go to my grave furious about that penalty though. Glad it didn’t affect us.

Quoted from RonMariner

My mistake. Sky were saying they were down but have now corrected themselves.

Let’s hope Donny thrash Colchester on Tuesday to make it interesting next Saturday.

A good old 6-0 thumping, bringing the goal difference between Sutton and Colchester to 1 goal.

And breath

A positive, we looked so much better when the subs cam on. So we keep some, get some better replacements. Obvious I know, but I was impressed with Ainley, Andrews, Kouri and of course Thompson. Terrible season, but it’s always difficult when you’re struggling.
Gone home a lot happier and optimistic tonight.

Anyone know the gate today so I can pass it on to DB ?

Thanks Meza.

Thank fook for that.

Another dreadful season in a long line of dreadful seasons is all over bar the shouting.

Glad we kept our status as a league club, but that was another year of draining "football".
