Play-Offs

[dusterman]

Still plenty of time.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

York miss a sitter

 

[GBJ]

Im scared we mess up like that tomorrow as we like to play our from the back

It won’t help us. All we score these days are worldies from 30+ yards, overhead bicycle kicks and on one or more occasion, our keeper has been known to dribble past the entire opposition before slotting into the bottom corner.

Oh for the days of robbing the defenders and tapping into an empty net. Hate this league.

 

[Shrimper]

Maybe the 16 day lay off hasn’t done them any favours

Hope it has the same impact on fgr

 

[gatecrasher]

This is a real upset, York have been going great guns, 96 points and then capitulate at home like this! I definitely think them having to wait so long to play their game is not a good thing. IF we can win our game tomorrow I'd fancy our chances against Oldham and the impossible dream becomes possible

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

York have absolutely **** the bed here

 

[Target man]

That's what happens when you have a long break before playing in these play offs. Momentum of games is the key.

 

[Roger The Alien]

More than two weeks without playing a competitive match has shown up,

I do hope FGR is the same.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

Triple substitution for York City

 

[Tony Allen]

York have absolutely **** the bed here

Have to feel sorry for York given the season they have had but those are the rules. Two teams should go up automatically with a third via the play offs

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Desperate stuff from York. They are truly rattled. As said above, I hope FGR are the same tomorrow.

 

[AustScullyPriorPowell]

Oldham were poor at the Hall a couple of months back!

IF we can turn FG over and York dont come back, I think we would benefit the massive pitch at Wembley and the playing surface, keep the ball moving, energy from our younger players and press the hell out of em!

BUT, it's the Cardwell battle first

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

Oldham goalkeeper hasn't had to make a save all evening!

 

[Bromley Blue]

I don’t think we should take it as a given FGR will be caught cold too. Steve Cotterill is an experienced manager and he’ll have them prepped as best as he can.

We might have a slight edge on match sharpness but the flip side of that is we might have a few in the squad with knocks from last week. Whereas they’ll be fresh.

So who knows what will happen.

 

[Smiffy]

A real shame for York, but that’s the play off lottery. Absolute nailed on favourites next season surely?

 

[Bratislava Blue]

Maybe the 16 day lay off hasn’t done them any favours

I mentioned this on the Post Match Thread. I said that tonight's game would be a good to see how Oldhams momentum from last week's game would go into tonight's game. Quick goals last week and tonight also.

I think my curiosity has been answered.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Still plenty of time.

York haven't shown Southend's fighting spirit to come back. In fact, they've gone well flat, and look done.

 

[crangoner]

Not sure how many are there but York seem to have given Oldham a lot of tickets. Completely outsung York from the off.

No wonder Forest green didn’t want to give us many!

Can't make noise without a roof anyway.

 

[AustScullyPriorPowell]

A real shame for York, but that’s the play off lottery. Absolute nailed on favourites next season surely?

Not when we sign our £1.4m Halifax player if we don't go up!

 

[Chrisb]

A real shame for York, but that’s the play off lottery. Absolute nailed on favourites next season surely?

It's cruel given how many points ahead they were.
