Post-Match Thread and Ratings Forest Green 2-2 Southend United..We win on Penalites 4-2

[GNH]

Oh my, I've had to sit down as I genuinely don't feel well after that!

One more hurdle to overcome, and although it will be the biggest test yet, we can do it.

 

[Hooly]

Does anyone know how to get a cat out from behind a sofa as he hid there when I screamed as Gus scored & won't come out.

You have to feel after a seasons of meh, scraping into the playoffs, despite trying our level best not to, then the comebacks against Rochdale and FGR and facing Oldham in the final that it could well be our year.

I've not been a Maher fan, but as I mentioned in the match thread, if he gets us up this year, then he will have earned my unwavering support regardless if we struggle next year. When it's counted he's conjured up the magic

Surely us an Oldham can beat this!

 

[Hadleigh Blue]

I am on holiday for the final.

You were……., get it cancelled!

 

[thenobster]

When are tickets on sale?

 

[Target man]

It'll take more than sprinklers to get the Shrimpers off the pitch!!! WEMBLEY BABY!!!!

 

[Swiss Tony]

So damn proud of the boys and all our fans, and to all the great friends I’ve made over the years I’ll see you all at Wembley for a beer or six, come on you mighty mighty mighty Shrimpers.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

I have to say that with 4 minutes of extra time left and 2-1 down I thought for the first time that we'd run our race.

However even after our first penalty had been saved I still felt we would do it. And when the BBC Radio commentator said Hayes was behind the goal supping on his water bottle memories tumbled back to Dan Bentley and his antics in the Wycombe Wanderers shoot out.

At that point in my mind it was never in doubt.

 

[Jay_SUFC]

I said the opposite of all of those. Even called out Inniss as the main threat. I punched myself when he scored, Lol.

I hope it was in the face

Yea @Snowy I'm sure Jo won't mind!! Luckily I go on 4th June. Phew

 

[Liam AAS]

That composure from Bridge was extraordinary.

 

[Westside]

So so proud of the boys. Feels like we've got a great connection with the players at the mo, so many likeable characters giving their all for the shirt

 

[Southend Elvis]

My mate said before the game, draw and win on pens, we ignored him. He then said at start of 2nd extra time half , 2 - 2 116mins, His name Phil Nostradamus

12 Months ago we nearly didn't exist. Tonight, we are not only alive and well, but are also starting to plan for a Play-Off Final at Wembley.

 

[AndyH]

Wow, so emotional!
What a chap, GSM, ‘I was playing in front of 80 people and a dog’

 

[Exiled Phil]

2005 play off winners, 2015 play off winners, 2025 ………….

Do you not think, that just maybe, ever so slightly, he's already done enough for that, possibly?
