On a completely different note, someone throwing coins at opposition players? Seriously? What is wrong with people?!
I'll just copy and paste my view from the last game

My problem is if it is not nipped in the bud, to those people it becomes the norm and little by little, drip by drip, the match day for everybody else becomes tiresome.
The Club starts getting fines, points deductions etc and the 'real' fans suffer.

Interesting also that today 4 fans were arrested at Kiddy for flare throwing.

I think talk of us not being able to win the title, with 12 games reamining is a little harsh.

That being said, we now need to win all 12, and hope Ilkeston lose twice. They've only lost 3 times in 26 games.

It's a very tough ask from here on in. Not impossible, but unlikely. BUT still all to play for.

On to the game - It was a massive error in treating this game as if we'd won before a ball was kicked, and instead concentrate on Monday. We showed a huge amount of disrespect to Spalding, and we got what we deserved.

Yesterday's performance was on par with the shambles at Shepshed. Not good enough, and it just confirms to me that you should always play your strongest team, then worry about the next game at 16:45. I know we've got a number of knocks, but that was far from the strongest lineup we had available to us.

I think the best thing that the team can do from yesterday's match is to draw a line under it and move on.
We all know, as fans, that yesterday's performance was at best, pedestrian but talk of not being able to win the league is, in my opinion, premature.
I'll look forward to hearing Paul Smith's thoughts from yesterday and how he is going to get the team back on track.
As Bob Ross says "trust the process"..............😬

Too true
Everyone knows it wasnt good enough and the best remedy is a win Monday
Do we now if Hawker got a 1 or 3 match ban ?
Really need him back in the middle of the park

I hate all sport and all sporting events. The Spalding Big Boi and my Scottish wife and in-laws made yesterday somewhat testing.
And after the match even Netflix was trolling me.
