Wbp. Did you go to the match or listen to it on the radio?

I had to switch off at half time.

​The defeat at Whitby was our 13th of the season and we have now lost more games than in the whole of last season. 
A win would have lifted us into the top half of the table but the loss means we’re still in the relegation mix, five points ahead of the final relegation place but the teams below us have games in hand,

                           Played.    Points
14th Ilkeston         25            30
15th Rushall.          23.           27
16th Prescot           23            25
17th Hyde               22            25
18th Morpeth          24            25
------------------------------------------
19th Leek                23            25
20th Stocksbridge   24            22
21st Workington.     25            18

20 points from the last 15 games and we will be safe.

We also have to play rushall and stocksbridge away in our last 3 games

Losing at Whitby was a bad result as we’ve now lost momentum and it puts massive pressure on us to win against Lancaster

Our remaining 8 home matches;
                                                                Current 
                                                                Position
17 01 26   Lancaster City               H.        6th
31 01 26   Leek                                H        19th
14 02 26   Guiseley                          H.       12th
28 02 26   Hebburn                           H         3rd
14 03 26   Stockton Town                H.        4th
04 04 26   Warrington Town            H          7th
11 04 26   Bamber Bridge                H        10th
25 04 26   FC United                         H         2nd     


Our remaining 7 away matches           

24 01 26   Cleethorpes                        A         13th      
07 02 26   Workington                         A         21st
21 02 26   Warrington Rylands            A.         5th
21 03 26   Ashton Utd                          A          9th
28 03 26   Prescot Cables                    A        16th
06 04 26   Rushall Olympic                  A.        15th
18 04 26   Stocksbridge P S                 A         20th


Am I the only one to see the danger?  After the Whitby defeat, I’m seriously worried about relegation.
We’ve got some really tough home games so I think that we will be relying on picking up away wins to survive.
The last 3 away games at Prescot, Rushall and Stocksbridge are going to be crucial.

Re: Tue 13th Jan 26 : Whitby v Ilkeston : ko 7 45

Horrible game last night. Gluepot of a pitch which didn't help either side. Don't think either side created a clearcut chance, and it looked for all the world like a nil nil (which would have been ok, take the point, so we don't lose any ground on Whitby), until Tom's moment of madness (should the ref have stopped the game when Colin Daniels went down with a back problem - he was down for the whole attack?). Strange call for me to play Sam Essien on the right-wing, I thought Jordan Stevens must be carrying an injury, but Stevens did come on in the 87th minute, so not sure on that one. I get it that managers try things (like taking the 4 man forward line off at halftime on Saturday), and if they work you're a genius and if they don't you get the flak. I do get concerned how far Alfie Roberts comes out of his goal sometimes and he nearly got caught out again last night.

Highlights (how they managed to find 6 minutes I've no idea) ...

Can't see why our goal was disaloud but what was Tom doing. If Colin grabbed his head then play would have stopped but he didn't.
