Yes, terrific player, too good for league 2 next season It's strange that with a back four of Berry (2nd half of season) MacDonald, Smith and Butler we conceded 15 more goals than this season. You would have that back 4 over this seasons any day, but maybe we should credit Nicholson for getting the ...

On the subject of Nicholson, happy enough for him to carry on, but on a similar budget to this year he must
improve. If we are in the bottom third when we go into 2018, he has to go, I think even he would agree
with that

And.........it seems that Nicholson is staying
The great gods of knowledge , Merse and SG have been banging on for months about how he would be on his
way at the end of the season whatever league we were in, , dead man walking etc etc, got that one wrong didn't they

Agree with Tomogulls post and some interesting stats re goals conceded, suggesting that some defeats could easily have turned into points We have a young team who are improving as individuals and as a team and we have to be patient as obviously funds are not going to be made available for better pla...

Have clear memories of that game, was just walking into the ground in a 'blizzard'as we went 1-0 up with a Mal Lucas goal, about as rare as snow in Torquay. Got the the winner when the very underated John Rudge followed up his parried penalty by Jim Furnell to score at the Babbacombe End. Yes 15,000...

What utter rubbish - Dave Thomas would laugh his socks off if he read that !
You obviously dont know the bloke

He was also a milkman in his later years delivering in the Shiphay/Cadewell areas (there's something Merse doesn't know, no he probably does) I remember him saying to me once that Frank O'Farrell was a 'Bad un ' -think it was Frank who released him, he would have only been about 31 then, remember hi...

Well we will just have to wait and see what happens in the close season Having just read the Heralds interview with Clarke 'Genghis' Osborne, I am hopeful he has some interest in the teams success . I think the foul mouthed abuse should stop, stick to considered opinions I would say to him though, w...

Saturday will be a tough game, North Ferriby will be relaxed and wont want to go down with a defeat. They will raise their game in front of a big especially for them crowd and 'big' stadium Dont forget they won at FGR recently. Not a game where we want go a goal down again with some sloppy defending...

Was nervous wrecķ listening to that, Gullintwoplaces sums me up too, 62 going on 86 !
Must not relax for a minute next week thinking we have done it, already relegated teams are dangerous

There WAS radio mic contact between them, I didnt actually see a flag at any time, maybe wrong, but seemed an
incredibly long conflab before disallowing the goal

And we need every player to work their socks off as hard as Peter Coffill used to

Yes that is the worry but we are due a home win. I would play Williams but Nicho wont Expect the same side but hopefully Sparkes in for Lee. But please lets not have it lumped long all afternoon, get it wide and get in first on those crosses like you really mean it, gamble, anticipate dont wait for ...

You left out Keating , he must be offered a contract , he could score a hatful in the Nat South

In 5 minutes the situation is completely turned around, a win and we would have still had a great chance, now it looks highly unlikely, 7 points could well do it (but 3 of them must be monday) and 2 of the other 5 teams will not reach 52, but cant see us winning 2 out of 3 , Sparkes and Williams mus...
