It's not going to be anything to write home about and had the long range, laced shot by Bromley, been on target we may have seen a different outcome.

It really was a peek into how matches week in week out would likely be at NL. Where even if you try to play some kind of football, teams will make it difficult. It's imperative that this ''taster'' does not become an accepted formality

Certainly, Town will take an away point but for me personally it is so bloody disheartening to see that getting a point versus Bromley is now seen as an acceptable result. Acceptable in isolation yes, but for many other reasons no

Ahhhh Swindon, Swindon, Swindon. Whatever will they do with ye

Happy New Year TEFfers. Let's see what becomes it

Much the better side but you have to think we'd have won if Smith and Clarke had started. Still, good result. Back 3 great, Kilkenny good, wing backs good today. Must back it up with a win on Wednesday now

Much better after the subs. Looks like Holloway is starting to formulate his best XI...
Yes, but begs the question why not start with the majority of it? But long term we might be on the way up

I don’t expect us to start putting any decent runs together until we get a capable goalkeeper. That should be the absolute priority in January.

Looking at that table, I think 19th will be as good as it gets this season. Next teams Newport, Barrow, Fleetwood and Colchester are 5 points clear of us with 2 or 3 games in hand.

Really is a mini relegation league forming there. Really hope the likes of Tranmere get more dragged in to it than they currently are. Will be cheering on whoever they play in their three games in hand assuming it isn't someone like Carlisle.

Sort of get it over Christmas when the games come so regularly. Can’t be running Clarke in particular into the ground.

Clarke is so important and not long back from injury.

Smith had a tight hamstring v Grimsby.

Both put in a shift at the wombles.

We got a point, it worked. Not worth risking them having 5 or 6 games out. Could still happen of course but risk minimised.

It’s not looking great at the moment although it could change by Wednesday.

Happy with a point, not sure we deserved to win, but definitely didn’t deserve else.

Not a game with great quality, but the players put in a shift & worked hard for the draw.

Blimey, currently showing Gusts of 50mph! Seems like ages ago we had a home game without agent wind being involved!

Hopefully it will change by then but it’s not looking good with 3 days to go!

Shame Barden decided to don the gloves that he had used to butter the skin of the Christmas turkey but a good away point.

Pretty crap attritional game but we are now showing fight and I think from what little football was played, we were the better side. 3 unbeaten, it's been a decent festive period for us so far.

Ah but that brings the wind tunnel back into play.  Our secret weapon.
