Look on the bright side, we won't lose any more games this season.

Thought that was a great game and a credit to both teams and the league itself. The atmosphere was electric and the action was often end to end. The fact that we held the league champions and would have won but for one missed tackle when we were pressing for the second showed had good our all-round performance was and particularly the masterful goalkeeping of Halstead. So sad that poor performances earlier in the season left us with too big a mountain to climb.

Not suprised Mr Tea808........not at all forward thinking by the club when change is needed. Rewarded for his complete failure this season on every aspect............he will need a good start, or it will turn toxic very quickly, and I am sure the fans will turn on him.
I have no plans to renew my season ticket with this news, but will continue to support the club and select the games i attend home and away.
A huge own goal todays news in my opinion

Halstead was POTS for me and showed his quality again today, would love him to stay but cant blame him if he moves on

I have to agree with this and I cannot understand the decision for him to stay. Keeping GJ is an acceptance of failure.

Well, we went down with all guns blazing and I'm still proudly wearing my TU shirt as I type this.

One little aside, hats off to their keeper Foster who took time out just before the second half started to allow youngsters from the Family Stand to take selfies with him. Well done that man.

I can't add any more as the pain is taking over.

Supporting the club by selecting games I assume when we're doing well? Would it not be better to find something else to do on a match if you're THAT unhappy?

Good game. A draw was fair I think but we could have won and the impossible seven goal turn round even looked to be possible for a while.

Glad the atmosphere was good but no trouble in the ground and I haven’t heard of any in the town either. Vast majority who travelled from Wales didn’t look the type to cause trouble.

Lost for words. Such a jolly interview after relegation, and he’s rewarded with a new contract for our demise.

This is the 8th relegation in our history, it also the 7th time we have retained the manager responsible for relegation and in each of the previous six occasions it didn't work out well.
Eric Webber (1962), Jack Edwards (1972), John Impey (1992), Leroy Rosenior (2005), Chris Hargreaves (2014) and Gary Owers (2018).
