Bournemouth's last-gasp win at Dagenham last night combined with Grimsby's defeat leaves Ballmouth just 2 points shy of safety. C'mon the cherries!

I give up.

How you go from looking good against the top teams and keeping 8 clean sheets in 11 games to conceding 7 goals in one and a half games against Barnet and Notts County is beyond me.

At least Thorne is back on the goal trail, I might have a crack at that tenner after all

Gillingham beat Bournemouth 1-0

Lincoln 0-1 Rotherham

Well done to Bournemouth, who moved out of the drop zone for the first time this season tonight.

Hopefully they won't drop off in terms of performance now, though if they want to lose on March 17 that will be more than welcomed!

Much needed win for City at VP tonight, poor game in all, and I don't know how Macclesfield managed to stick 3 past Shrewsbury on Saturday - they were diabolical.

We badly need to back this up with 3 points against Aldershot on Saturday, 4th placed Bury play 5th placed Rochdale, before we go to Rochdale next Tuesday - it could be a pivotal few days.

I don't know if you went to the Macclesfield away game, but if you did I'm sure you'll remember they were equally as bad then.

A truly horrendous football team.

Rotherham game off...again



we now have 5 games in hand against some teams now!!

Usualy when teams stick 10 men behind the ball they actually bother to try and hit on the break, however Macclesfield didn't even bother to do that. Even at one nil down they still appeared to be more interested in not conceding again than actually getting anything out of the game.

Gillingham drew 0-0 against Luton

Aye, it was more like a game of attack and defence than an actual football match.

I still half expected us to balls it up somehow though! Hopefully we'll have got a bit of confidence back after the two hammerings, though it would have been nice if we'd stuck a couple more of our chances away.

0-0 tie between us and Brentford, good result

I feel dirty for reading it, but the Guardian has a little feature on the [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2009/mar/09/football-league-two-reviewLeague 2 Promotion Battle[/url.

Gillingham beat Darlington 1-0 thanks to an 90 minute penalty scored by Simeon Jackson

Let down big style again.

That lot have got to have the least bottle I've ever seen in a City team, given who the manager is I just don't get it.

A play-off spot would be wasted on them, and us fans don't deserve the heartache, I've seen some really terrible City teams, but never one I have been so disappointed in.

So many times we've ram-jammed away ends at grounds this season, and we're continually let down.

Yes, I heard people saying that penalties were dubious, but if we'd got anything out of that game it was a horrific injustice on Rochdale.

Chester 1-5 Rotherham

Rochdale 1-2 Millers

Did not expect a win at all today, so very very happy

What a complete joke our season is turning out to be. I'm sorry to say it, and I had a bad feeling it would happen when he was appointed, but McCall's 'legend' status has been tainted by his managerial spell. He simply isn't up to it IMO. I don't think even a lucky promotion would convince me otherwise.

It appears that McCall has said in an interview after the game that he will walk if we dont make the play offs.

It will be a sad way for a city legend to leave the club, however given the sqaud we have we have underachieved and to miss out on the play would be a massive failure.

At least you have a decent rugby team to support unlike myself and Asim

Gene Hackman

Nope. Try again fred.

As you say it would be a sad way for him to leave, but I think it would be the right decision.

I was pretty confident that we would get promoted up until recently, unfortunately I have heard a lot of stories about the behaviour of some of our players recently which doesn't bode well when you are a team looking to achieve something.

I do think McCall was wrong to come out and say what he did last night though, because I can now see plenty of the players just tossing it off for the rest of the season - I know why he said it in the heat of the moment, but it might end up working against him, I think he struggles sometimes to come to terms with the fact that a lot of the players don't care anything like as much as he does.

Pretty sure something was said by one of the chairmen about Bradford needing to get promotion otherwise we could be back in money problems.

Also Conlon has been shipped off to Grimsby after his bust up with Clarke. He wasn't the best player but always seemed to give his all.
