not one for the scrap book this game.
the last 20 mins were about all worth discussing and you'd wonder what was going through Gartlands (who was having a good game) head when he handled on the goaline to deny a Town chance.
Town were punished very late for failing to close out a game that should have been in the bag when they invited the Drogs onto them in the last few mins and they took the invitation glAdly by equalising with almost the last kick of the game.
2 points needlessly surrendered here.
Town started:O Brien,O Conner,Dillon,Ferguson,Prunty,Kirby,Fitzgerald,Cra wley,cronin,Martin,Keegan.
Went for a draw played for a draw should have won got a draw. Played 4-5-1 the tactics that would have seen us through in europe. Not much you can say about the game. Poor support no surprises can't blame anyone for that. Well I can but if you give out about the manager people don't like it.
well I think, in a strange kinda way, that 4-5-1 might suit us better if we get up and support the front man enough, Kirbs, Martin, Cawley all have good energy and are well able to get up there and support...! It would have got us through in europe but failing the late late sucker punch we were denied a good lift after a very poor week. Almost did it.

I thought Kirby wasn't used half enough (apart from the few times he was allowed the chance up the wing in the first half ... and did quite well). Keegan never had the chance to 'try' to look dangerous until we put the pressure on in the last 15mins or so. Pressure that only came when we had them down to ten men. Agree about Cawley being a good signing. He had a nervy start but settled in well and his confidence soared. Baz gave some terrible passes in the danger zone. Deano played well and was solid in MF. O connor was the best in the back four with Dillo doing the job also.

a funny thing to come out of last sundays game. Matthews goes out on the media and says how proud he is of the performance of the lads in bouncing back after the carmarthen game. Aftetr conceding a goal in the 93rd minute against 10 men he calls that bouncing back. he is a JOKE OF A MANAGER.!!!!!Matthews Out.
You won't be there if we're relegated ever, nor have you helped in making the club what it is today. You are meaningless and always will be til 'we' lift 'the cup again in November'. You're only purpose in life is to harry and harass those of superior being and differing opinions. Crawl back to the hole you came from (pre promotion days) you schmuck.
Ah, for christ's sake... Will posters please think before they type.

This place has turned into a bitch fest.We lost in Wales and it was a terrible result,end of...Anyone who stops supporting the team after that is a fair weather idiot and that's it.All teams in all sports lose sometimes and have disasters sometimes but the fans stick by them.Fools are coming here and posting crap about one result.Everyone is annoyed about it but will get over it.This club has come through so much to get where it is today and people still bitch and it's the same old crap over and over......Matthews out, Barrys crap and so on.We all heard you and some of us agree with you but give it a rest.As the saying goes "if you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all".I know this is a place to voice opinions but as i have said we've heard you already so move on.

Well said wiseguy
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
Maybe I should start a Matthews love in Thread so
