Just had a blatant penalty turned down. Sho-Silva was cleaned through and got brought down. Should have been a penalty and red card, but ref gave a free kick the other way!
Its fair to say, we are safe now surely. Looking at the table, even though Grimsby have three games in hand over us, we have two games in hand over Nuneaton who are 5 points ahead of us in the playoffs and Alfreton who are just 2 points further ahead....Even if Grimsby win their three games, if we win our two in hand, we have a great chance at the play offs - Time to stop looking near the bottom now I reckon and time to start looking above us. Gained 10 points from the last 4 games, and were unlucky not to grab all three points at Tamworth. We are more than capable of beating most teams we go up against now....The way we have played, and the results we have gotten recently....why cant we aim for the playoffs ? COYW!

Without getting two complacent I also feel the urge to point out we're just five points off the play-offs with two games in hand. Keep working your socks off lads and go for it!

Well done all...that should secure conference status...a great achievement. As for a play-off push, anything can seem possibile after a few guest ales!!
Excellent performance. Impossible to pick a MOTM as I thought every player was an 8/10.
Back four were rock solid, winning everything in the air and on the deck. You'd never have guessed 2 of them were brand new loan signings. The midfielders seemed to win every second ball (and plenty of those came their way due to Hudson's dominance in the air). Roscoe and Tobi x2 interchanged superbly. Oh, and not forgetting JT who made one very good save and claimed every ball that came his way.
A fantastic result, and there's no reason we can't get a top 10 finish or better if we keep up this week's form.
A very good performance I thought. Not huge numbers of clear-cut chances for either side, but we had more possession, territory, and generally the better of the few chances that did occur. A good win.
Nice to see a real 4-3-3 as well. There were times earlier in the season where Jamie would have us believe we were playing 4-3-3 but all too often two of the forwards became more like midfielders, given they were Healy and another. Now its three real forwards, with pace, strength, and ability, and we look a much greater threat going forward, which in term makes us better defensively as well because we aren't under so much pressure at the back.

I think it's a criticism of the system - rather than Kurtis himself. I'm sure you've said yourself in the past that he's been played out of position.
I certainly don't doubt his ability and I don't think any/many on here do. He's a very promising young talent who is only going to get better. He puts in a shift and runs himself into the ground in every game which helps the team but is to his detriment personally, as he can't spend as much time in danger areas to grab goals.
Healy, like Kurtis, spent much of the season doing a job in a position where we don't really see the best of him. His strengths are different to Kurtis - he's about passing, touch and creativity rather than running at players with pace and trickery. I don't think anyone could argue though, that with him in the centre and three "proper" forwards (and I include Kurtis in that group) on the pitch, we look a much better side. We're starting to prioritise playing to our strengths, rather than just trying to nullify the opposition by making our "wide forwards" spend most of the game tracking back.
I've always given my honest opinion about players on here, which has annoyed a few. I said Kiernan and Theo weren't good enough - Kurtis absolutely does NOT fall into the same bracket as them. He's an important player for us and I hope he will be for years to come.

Why? What are you eluding to? Something I wasn't clearly. Kurtis is class. He knows I think that as I've told him to his face, and on Twitter, many times. Conversation over.
Shame a positive comment and thread wants to go down the negative route

thought keeper was solid didn't stop talking to the team all game good to see!
lovely goal and thought dominated large parts if the game! Thought would have seen more from Macclesfield but welling pressed them well! Liked look of the num 19 up top for them looked tidy on ball Held it up well at times!
though tom bender at left back had a solid game looks a good prospect!
