You answered your own question Rendel....."What was broken was the spirit of the game" so whether we were in the last minute on the final day you've said we mustn't break the spirit of the game. I for one would be extremely proud if we allowed a walk in goal in the last minute that robbed us of a PO spot because it would be the right thing to do. Guiseley may yet get a massive backlash if that result alters things at the seasons end. As for The FA ordering a rematch I remember Arsenal having to replay a cup tie because the referee awarded a goal that should not have counted, so these things can be done even when no rules were broken. Perhaps Braintree have mentioned this and maybe The FA have it under review. Good reaction from Danny Cowley too afterwards in the interview keeping his cool. That game was against Sheffield United and it was Arsene Wenger that asked for the game to be replayed, that's what you call sportsmanship I was there at Highbury for that game and again at the replay. No one really knew how to proceed after Kanu had kicked it back to the keeper and, ultimately scored but as dad said great sportsmanship from Arsene Wenger. Sad to see a lot of banners from other blades fans labelling Kanu a cheat and worse in the replay but we lost anyway!

Thanks tenacres (Rendel is it?) and Dan - what a cracking header from Will. Great end to a game that was feeling pretty dire.

Brilliant result and fully deserved second half. Thought Coulson had a great game down the flank and looks much more suited to this position than in the middle. Reason showed real class for his finish and Evans goal was great to see the whole team celebrate with at the end. I agree about the comment about Woking, a very average side who were there to be beaten. Sorry ussspitfie I just have one moan! Who puts the bloody nets up at this club! 10 minutes added time in the first half whilst the groundsman saunters across the pitch to sort it out. Then he gets a round of applause when he gets back to his seat in the grandstand afterwards! ? I agree Coulson looked great and thoroughly deserved man of the match - he was running all over the field and seemed able to play in any position. Where were you when we needed you Mark Blake? You'd have got that net fixed in no time ;-)

Loving these last minute goals - our players like keeping us in suspense. The reaction from Flitney was priceless (we were in the Mackoy stand so didn't see the goal very clearly). Hoping Chester don't score another 8 goals on Saturday. COYS

So if, in only our second season in the conference premier our manager fails to take us to the play offs after half a season in charge then he's failed? Sorry but I cannot believe a fan would even think that. #intoddywetrust

Sounded like a better performance today but this wretched run just keeps on going. Can't and shouldn't give up on a play off space but it's a brave man to bet on it now. Cheltenham and Braintree next so it doesn't get easier. I shall keep believing the form will turn and we must get behind the team but if no points are recorded from the next two, Todd's appointment has to be questioned. I wondered when the first suggestions of Toddy's appointment were going to happen!! Doesn't take a lot before people start shouting obscene chants about the management and board. How is this helping the lads? Just go and watch a Premiership side instead. Nuff said.

Nope. It will happen again. Not sure though how many of us will see it. Anyway, hopefully it won't be on a Tuesday night. I was thinking more in league 2 the way the blades are playing ?
